RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Colorado Access full-time (More than a year)
Pros
This company understands how to make employees happy and healthy. The work - life balance here is off the hook! Awesome PTO, 401K that is generous, monthly chair massages, fun company swag that they give their employees all the time, a very fun and engaging wellness program with incentives and fun competitions, serving the under served populations of the community. Employee bonus that was amazing and very generous this year. Merit increases that were good and fair and based on performance reviews.
Cons
Parking is limited even though there are a lot of spots right under the building, they are reserved for higher ups and usually not full to capacity. The business relies on bids and we can lose it all if we do not succeed in winning the bids one year.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work and remember that happy clients and members directly equals the health and happiness of your employees.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Colorado Access full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Working with Medicaid members that really need support & a handful of amazing, heart focused co workers.
Cons
Disconnected leadership, privlidge, pretentious leadership, lack of diversity, shallow. Focus is not on effective work, middle layer of management is so thick & useless. The company overall does not impart trust, so it is not easy to trust what will happen to you. There is so much potential in the staff & is not used or nurtured.
Advice to Management
You are entitled & privileged people, please honor thatand put good use with it. It shows your interest in this work is not for the good of others but your status & ego.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Colorado Access full-time (More than a year)
Pros
This was a great way to learn the ins and outs of Medicaid benefits. There was a ton of interactions with members and co-workers. Always felt supported by immediate team and supervisor.
Cons
There were multiple times extra work was expected without more compensation. Upper management was 'elite' and not approachable at all.
Advice to Management
Pay employees more and they might stay longer.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Colorado Access full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Flexibility, benefits, lots to learn, work from home, some awesome supervisors and managers to support you
Cons
Direction changes rapidly without a lot of planning or thought. Every few years 80+ employees are terminated due to financial crisis and program changes. People don't feel valued, supported or invested in. The culture is improving but now there's a lot of fear related to micromanagement (such as, you must contact your supervisor every two hours when out of the office, yet you are required to work from home 75% of the time and conduct outside meetings). Lots of turnover with experienced supervisors and managers.
Advice to Management
Micromanagement and fear mongering will never be effective. Find direction and stick with it - the roll out of changes and programs is really poorly planned and executed. Not everyone cares about the RAE bid. There seem to be a lot of conflicts of interest at the Executive level.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Colorado Access full-time
Pros
Good mission, some great people, good work life balance, many departments have flexibility and telework ability
Cons
Complacency among the workforce, dealing with some incredible bureaucracy at the state government level, most departments have almost no career progression path
Advice to Management
Bring as much accountability as possible. Reward good employees. Spread bonuses down below the director level. Create career development paths in all departments.
