Pros

- Great location - Hybrid model introduced but still working on the kinks on what this looks like for employees

Cons

- Salaries for most positions outside of Sales are barely livable wages for the Denver area and there are rarely opportunities to increase pay - Benefits package is sub-par especially regarding PTO, company seems to hide behind flashy aspects like there being a gym, having alcohol at work and dog Fridays that impact only a fraction of the employees, instead of investing in benefits that actually increase an employee's wellness and enrich their lives like mental health days, wellness stipends, increased vacation time, 401k matching, etc. - Company culture glamorizes overworking and taking on additional roles without additional compensation - Toxic personalities in leadership positions that care more about their own clout instead of supporting their employees - The company grew from a very small "family-oriented" business, but being hired doesn't give you access to that "family" group that they tout - the culture is quite cliquey - Senior leadership is out of touch with the reality that most employees are living in - Lack of diversity

Pros

- Talented, thoughtful co-workers who care about the work - Exposure to large-scale, high-visibility clients - Strong emphasis on execution and visual finish

Cons

- Lack of transparency around company stability, staffing, training, and long-term planning. - Sudden layoffs and shifting priorities created instability across teams. - The company and leadership were culturally tone-deaf at times, certain behaviors felt misaligned with values of empathy and respect.
