Pros

The leadership team strongly values marketing and there has been a large focus on engaging in more progressive marketing programs (social media, improved digital experience, email marketing).

Cons

Marketing leadership won't add head count and engages the department in too many projects thus overworking the team. Since the merger, leadership has not done enough to establish processes and an effective cross-functional work environment within the marketing sub-depts. The end result is a non-functional, stressful work environment where it's hard for team members to accomplish their goals and feel a sense of pride in their work.

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.
