Pros
-Stable job (being a regulated utility) -Company is quite involved in the community -A (maybe the) leader in renewable energy within utilities -Generous paid time off (much more than most people I talk to) -No need to work 45 hours+ -Larimer location (main Denver office) a great building to work in (lots of windows, LEED certified) -Easy public transportation to main Denver office -Still have pension program -Seems there are lots of growth opportunities (haven't personally experienced yet though)
Cons
-Currently transitioning to a more competitive mindset, unsure what company culture will be throughout the process -No real job training programs for new employees -As a utility, very slow to adapt new IT programs, technology. Way behind similar industries -In Engineering, all engineers in MN and TX make the same as CO, which has a higher cost of living -Pay seems to be lower than maybe it should be (only from what I've heard, haven't done research) -Seems like quite a few people leave the company for higher paid jobs -Not a flexible work schedule
