Pros

Great pay and benefits, lots of opportunities for career advancement, ethical company with a lot to offer. Lots of transformational initiatives going on so there are plenty of opportunities for meaningful work and learning opportunities. The company cares about the community and also offers 40 hours a year of Volunteer Paid Time Off. There is no other company I would rather work for.

Cons

Most corporate jobs are downtown in CO and MN so there is a downtown commute. No place is perfect and there are always challenges but no more than any other large company. Nothing significant to mention here.

Pros

Standard methods, cloud infrastructure, and reliance on in house staff over contractors makes it very easy to implement safe, fast, consistent changes. You will be valued as a human and you will have a voice within this company. You can make a career here. Your coworkers and immediate leadership are all talented and intelligent individuals who actually know how to do the same work you are doing.

Cons

AI rollout and unevenly applied hybrid work made things difficult for employees with disabilities and those that lived far from office who had traditionally worked remote or for tasks that do not lend themselves well to AI overhead
