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 OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Colorado Access full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Working 4 10 hour days is great as well as working from home 3 days a week. Allows for a great work/life balance. Benefits are great.
Cons
Pay is extremely low and yearly "raises" are lower than a cost of living increase. Very little room for promotion. Incredibly overworked and under-payed. Caseloads are the highest they have ever been and there is no end in site. Amazing employees are leaving the company and nothing is being done to retain them.
Advice to Management
Show appreciation to employees that do an outstanding job and have been with the company for years. Show current employees that you want them to stay and remain an important part of Colorado Access. Pay all employees fair wages.

Overall a good company visionCons
low pay
understaffed, high turnover,
High expectations from upper management but limited resources for employees. Upper management sometimes focuses on issues that seem unimportant or that do not directly relate to clients/members.Colorado Access 2019-01-22 14:28 PST![Colorado Access Logo]()

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Colorado Access full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great work/life balance and get to work at home. More flexible schedule than normal office jobs.
Cons
Workload is extremely high, each case manager is responsible for 140 clients and has to cover vacant caseloads since there is high turnover. Very stressful and demanding, the workload is unreasonable. No matter how hard we work, it is never good enough. Case managers get treated like crap by some clients and provider agencies. I got used to being yelled at and was surprised when a client actually appreciated how hard I worked for them. Even if you do your work well and work very hard, the clients or provider agencies still complain and blame you for things that are not your fault such as a billing issue or error in the system. It was awful. We all felt overwhelmed by too much work.
Advice to Management
I believe management is aware of the workload but does not realize how bad it really is for the case manager
