Blizzard received an exciting reward last week: We were named the 13th best small company to work for in Colorado.

Susan, myself and our whole management team are very excited and satisfied by this recommendation.  We have worked hard over the last few years to not just provide a great service to our customers, but to also make Blizzard a great place to work.  As you know, a company is only as good as its employees.  And Blizzard has a great bunch of employees!

Did you know that our average employee has been with us more than 5 years?  Some of the key things our employees enjoy:

• A healthy work/life balance
• Constant professional development opportunities
• Great health, dental and vacation benefits
• Profit sharing
• Annual rafting and skiing days
• A dog-friendly environment
• 2 or 3 monitors per employee
