      Best Place I've Ever Worked!!

      Pros

      They take great care of their employees here. I've never worked for a place that treats the staff so well. There is little to no drama. Management talks to you like an equal instead of someone beneath them. Even the County Commissioners will stop in the hallway and say hello. It's refreshing to work in a place that actually walk's the talk. Respect is demonstrated each and every day with management and staff alike. I've never been happier in a work environment in my entire life, and working for Boulder County has been a truly rewarding experience. They actually promote from within and invest in the career growth and development of each individual within the organization.

      Cons

      The only con is they don't pay the staff a livable wage for the area. Myself and most of my coworkers live in area's south of Denver and commute up. I did the math and figured out that as an employee starting out in 2017 at an entry level position I earn 35% less than an employee starting out in 1985 did in the same position when inflation is factored in. With the cost of living increasing so drastically, wages need to be increased dramatically if Boulder County intends on recruiting competitively in the current job market. A 2% cost of living raise doesn't go very far when the cost of living goes up 30%. If Boulder County increased their employee pay at the same rate of inflation within the housing market, they'd attract A LOT more quality employees. Benefits are GREAT, but pay is way too low.
