Pros

Create collaboration and company culture; great senior executive team; competitive salary; great benefits package; and industry-specific, free training opportunities.

Cons

Lots of stress; IT organization is trying to do a massive digital transformation with not enough resources and seeking to achieve operational excellence on the backs of employees If you are remote employee, as most managers and employees are in the Denver metro area, there are no growth or promotional opportunities.
