Pros

Good benefits and pay is decent. Onsite Cafeteria and covered parking.

Cons

No upward mobility for the unconnected. People hired who lack necessary skills are hired into positions they are not qualified for. Nepotism at its worst. So many related people that it is one large incestuous pool of great-waste. Management will not back you up when you need it most as their nose is up their bosses behind in hopes of a larger bonus and merit increase. PC and EO is so petrifying throughout that if you are a true blue American type you may find yourself heaving daily. Company is shipping too many jobs off to India in order to stay competitive. You will find that there are many employees who are light in the loafers. Some departments are better than others. If you get hired on in the call center expect to work for some of the most uncaring and unprofessional managers who know nothing about top notch customer service and are only watching out for numero uno. Expect to be pigeon holed into this position for eternity unless you are part of the incestuous pool, seriously have your nose up your managers behind, or are a protected class of people.

Pros

Empower fully supports work life balance. They also support and encourage community service. I like the fact that they match not only by monetary contributions, they also match actual volunteer hours with money. Management at all levels is committed and invested in you professionally and personally.

Cons

None that I have found.

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.
