Pros

Location if you enjoy working in downtown Denver and exploring what Denver has to offer outside of work. Close to public transit if you get off of work in time to use it.

Cons

Please take note of the reviews in October 2015 all being five stars and what historically the reviews have been prior to this. This is because upper management had a meeting to increase there perceived ratings and reviews online by having employees go online and write 5 star reviews. -------------------------- Benefits are terrible, 401k you are not fully vested for 5 years (you wont last five years), micro managing, work life balance is terrible, unpaid overtime with no compensation is expected, company has the best year financially and the bonus is meager (below corporate national average), everyone is waiting to leave after there two year contract is up because they are unhappy and they will be forced to pay back relocation, maternity leave is terrible expect to take time unpaid, expect to be treated like children by your unqualified manager, I would expect non of the benefits they promise unless you have it written in your contract, managers have there favorites who will be treated with bias, some employees unfairly get unlimited vacation while vast majority of the employees get stuck with vacation freezes and paid time off tallied by there managers. These views are shared among multiple employees that I interact with daily and the company is aware of the dissatisfaction but willing to do nothing about it.

We encourage all feedback from our team members, and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. You are correct, our Senior Leadership has taken an interest in these Glassdoor reviews in hopes to better understand our team members sentiments. We strive to be a place where team members such as yourself can be proud of where we’re heading. As a relatively new company, our benefit package is still evolving and we are excited to share the benefits and resources that are available during the current open enrollment. Today, the company match is fully vested in your 401k after completing two years of service. Additionally, as a company we care about your pay being handled correctly, any and all overtime hours should be paid. Please reach out to your human resource partner as we want to help find a solution and be a continued resource for you.

Pros

The company cares very deeply about their employees. Generous PTO and benefits package. The Senior leadership team are very friendly and make it very easy to connect with them. Very approachable and professional. Leaders at the plants are also very nice and fair, with a safety focus above everything. The company also makes it easy to move up and get promoted. I recommend working for this company!

Cons

Some of the tasks at the plant can be challenging. You just have to find a role you really like.
