Pros

Metro Wastewater puts on a great first impression, but its all a cover up for what an awful company they really are.

Cons

Everything. If you intend to move up in this company, you had better be related to someone or know someone who knows someone. They have a corporate team of attorneys who have and will pay off any discrepancies to cover up the bad behavior of the long term employess and the crap they all "sweep under the rug"

Pros

They do have a 4 day work week and free parking and the insurance is OK.

Cons

It is a smelly, dangerous place in a terrible location with no public transit available. Management is largely unqualified, unprofessional, and theory X. Pay is mediocre and raises are non-existent. Many of the benefits they tout to get candidates hired do not actually exist.

Not a "Great Place to Work"

Pros

In my experience department co-workers and low-level managers are good people who care about one another. Health benefits are alright, but not great. There is a good wellness plan in place, including fitness/health-related classes and activities available during work hours (like yoga, daily walks, running workshops, and nutrition classes), and bikes are provided to get to different locations onsite. Opportunities for CE's, conferences, and lunch and learns depending on the department/field you're in.

Cons

The company is out of touch with the employees, and is severely behind the times in terms of culture and value. Not a positive work environment, and there is zero transparency here; no company-wide meetings or any sort of regular communications with employees from upper management/the district manager. District manager does not foster an encouraging environment or team work. MWRD is currently working on a strategic plan, which includes becoming a "great place to work". Hopefully, it will become one, and can join other Denver companies in having a progressive outlook on work policies, benefits, and general attitudes about employees.
