Pros

The professional staff are amazing and committed to the core values.

Cons

The officers are offenders and in recovery. They have big egos and are allowed to discriminate. Their unethical and immoral behavior are swept under the rug. Can’t believe this agency is still so large and people still donate to them. The officers say they don’t make but 25-35k a year. There is a report out that says that the top person makes lower than other executives at other agencies. What they fail to mention is they all get houses and very nice ones, cars and all of their living expenses paid for. This is with donations. Donors think that their money goes towards services but it is just a small amount. Every time you see someone in a uniform understand that they get everything paid for even their children’s college. People become officers so they can live forever off the gravy train. Not a bad gig when you don’t have to worry about paying all your bills and live in very nice homes, two cars and when you retire you get another home paid for.

Pros

Staff (not management) genuinely cared about the people they were serving

Cons

People are always shocked when I tell them about the morally corrupt (not to mention, illegal!) things that happened in our Denver office on a regular basis. The only thing worse than management's toxic and discriminatory behavior, was how HR enabled it. I can speak to 4 different incidents where an employee went to HR with DOCUMENTED PROOF of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination, and/or retaliation from management. HR never opened an official investigation into any of those complaints, forcing the employees to return to an even more toxic work environment, because the managers were allowed to see the entirety of what the employee had submitted to HR. They were then able to turn around and write up that same employee for phony or nonexistent issues. The employee couldn't contest it or do anything to challenge its legitimacy. And once they received 3 or 4 of those written warnings, they were eligible for termination, which is exactly what happened. HR forced 2 of the aforementioned employees to write a resignation letter. The other 2 were let go under the guise of "budget cuts." All of the managers named in those complaints still work there today, and never received so much as a written warning.
