July 12th, Denver, The Denver Business Journal has honored Platte River Networks for the fourth year in a row as one of the Top 5 Best Places to Work in Denver. They describe the Platte River workplace as, “collaborative, innovative and caring, something they are very proud of and work hard to demonstrate”.
“We are dedicated to providing the best customer experience possible,” says Brent Allshouse, co-founder and CFO. “We are able to do that by actively listening to each other and our customers.”
At Platte River, we encourage a work-life balance, and that means having fun once in a while. We have group personal training, an onsite gym, team outings including Rockies Opening Day, FAC, Top Golf, Unser Racing, and more. We also want our employees to be well taken care of and therefore we offer a matching 401k, four weeks paid flexible time off, personalized development-promotion plans, and 100-percent employer-paid health plan.
Our hands on approach means that members of the management team such as Allshouse and Treve Suazo – partner and CEO – will jump in and work the floor and help staff members whenever possible. “That helps build respect within our team and really encourages employee retention, something we work very hard to achieve,” says Suazo.
We also have a heavy focus on outreach so we offer a matching personalized charitable gift program where employees can pick and support charities of their choice. Furthermore, we started and run a Women-in-Technology (WIT) scholarship in partnership with the Colorado Women’s Chamber and the Denver Scholarship Foundation.
