Pros

Great company to work for - they have a lot to offer their employees

Cons

Management was too old school with the attitude "If you don't like it leave". Without cleaning up these attitudes they can not progress as a company - any new blood will quickly move on....

Pros

Strong benefits, opportunity to advance your career if you know what you want and are persistent. Smart employees. Greenwood Village office has company store, parking garage, cafeteria, gym, health center, etc.

Cons

Very corporate, hierarchical culture. Lots of red tape. HR seems to work to protect the corporation, not the employees.
