Pros
Some good people with good intentions. The overall mission is important. If you are in the right department work life balance is generous. Some real potential to make positive differences.
Cons
Colorado Access (COA) is a company that contracts with the state of CO to administer the Medicaid benefit in the Denver area. On the surface this isn't a con, however once you have been exposed to the knee jerk political decision making of Medicaid, and COA's frantic and strange attempts to make the state happy, you might find it troubling. I'm not sure COA has really needed to compete for this contract over the last many years, and it shows with absent leadership. There are a few leaders I enjoyed working with and I don't want put them all in the same box, but for the most part senior leadership is lacking a great deal. Seems like 2 or 3 talented directors do everything. Leadership at the executive level is remarkably detached and divided, more so than I have ever experienced. Bickering among themselves in general meetings is common. Calling subordinates names like 'stupid' happens unfortunately. The former CEO and some other execs are part time, perhaps that doesn't work very well. Maybe their childish behavior was some kind of internal competition for the retiring CEOs position, or maybe that's just who they are. I don't know, but the new CEO was an external candidate, thankfully. Hope she straightens things out.

Pros
Colorado Access is out to do some good things. The recent CEO hire has me feeling optimistic about the future of the company. There are some really talented people here and I can't wait to see what they do.
Cons
The company seems a little top heavy and it seems that everyone is a "senior" something. Do we really need so many senior this or senior that?

- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Colorado access used to have some amazing people working in the front lines. The longer that I’ve been away from that place the fewer of those amazing people are left. Really all that you’re left with, is a place that does not hold any of its leadership accountable for any of their poor decisions, repercussions of those poor decisions and poor management.
Cons
This place is a hypocritical joke. What they tout as core values will only apply to Certain people. Their customer service agents are held to higher and stricter standards than the executive team. I lack the words to appropriately describe how horrific of a culture this place has cultivated. But hey, if you get hired, just know that when you leave they may offer you a non-disclosure agreement from those tax dollars that all of us pay to fund this poorly run and horrible organization. I declined that nondisclosure agreement. You won’t silence all of us.

- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great coworkers who all suffered together.
Cons
Extremely toxic workplace. So many incredible people work here and truly suffer everyday which is so odd as we all are in the Case Management/helping field. The more you give, the more the company piles on work with no advancement. Such a negative place, coworkers are the only benefit and the population we fight to hell
