They Mean Well - Engineer Pinnacol Employee Review

Work life balance is nice

Recent layoffs has me worried about future

PERA is a nice benefit

The company feels like it’s on a significant downward trend. Career advancement opportunities have been laughable for quite some time, as it clearly ends up being a popularity contest. Positions promised end up going to contractors as the company is now solely focused on contractor hires rather than switching FTEs to these positions, so they don’t get posted. HR is completely out of touch and disconnected - our last company meeting and an impromptu forum had the same sentiments as the responses during an emotional shift seems callous and rude. For a company that prides itself on employees first, it seems to not care about its employees. While there are programs to help gain insight into other departments, they end up just wanting to put you on loan to these other departments for assistance, rather than an actual career development plan. This constitutes split time - no pay increase or additional benefits for straddling two different departments. It’s frustrating to feel like you’re giving it your all when it is then disregarded.
