Risky place to work if you want to stay employed.

Pros

Excellent 401K plan. Great products. Nice gym on 1st floor but it does cost money.

Cons

They have had many lay offs so you have wonder if they are done or will they make more cuts. It was a great place to work when the Gates family owned it but since Tomkins Corp bought Gates, it has done nothing but go downhill. Seems very mismanaged. Lots of bad management decisions that affect people's lives. Employees with great skills went out the door during the layoffs rather than taking the opportunity to weed out the slower performers. Also, I worked there for 2 years and never got a single performance review.

Pros

Downtown Denver Location, high paced work environment, pay and benefits, excellent products. I am proud to say I work for Gates because they have a history providing a good belt and hose product. President of US Operations is a leader that others should emulate.

Cons

Sullen culture, CIO lacks integrity and is out of touch, few advancement opportunities despite record profits. The career ladder, for all intensive purposes, doesn't exist. The organization is flat and a hiring freeze or close to it has been in place for some time.
