Pros

Nice campus, nice benefits, covered parking (saves damage to car during hail or snow), great amenities (gym, on site lunch room/restaurant, etc.) Starbucks near by.

Cons

Company is a disaster! Long hours, impossible expectations, poor management, poor leadership, highly political, very few departments that function or interact well. CEO and high level leadership team, very disapointing - disjointed, disconnected and really don't show much empathy or concern for their employee population. Worst company I've ever worked for, so resigned.

Pros

Many smart people genuinely want to grow & succeed; An excellent long term strategic vision backed by long term oriented investors; Ample growth opportunities at a business that is very well positioned for long term growth. Leaders that genuinely care about their people. Remote work is truly an advantage - just the lack of a commute makes a large difference. Opportunity to be at the ground level of a company that will develop a much stronger national brand over the next decade.

Cons

Delivery & Execution are areas that are truly challenging in the high growth/evolutionary environment that Empower is in today. Cultural changes are happening within the business that create some competing priorities, though Sr. Leaders continue to lead through this. Working with people across the US means don't expect a normal schedule - early / late starts and working lunches are the norm.
