Public Sector vs. Private Sector - Utility Worker II Denver Water Employee Review

3.0

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation, benefits and training. Job security.

Cons

Kind of a "good old boys" club. It definitely helps to know someone. Staff seems more concerned with following established policies and procedures than trying to improve. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Generally a conservative atmosphere which can be expected since it is a public utility.

Pay for entry level employees feels low.
