Pros

Limited resources provided give employees the opportunity to be creative in getting results. Many kind, dedicated and outstanding people working for the company.

Cons

Leadership preaches bias towards action and that employees should not be afraid to make mistakes or try different approaches but the people that do those things do not last long. Goals are not clearly stated to front line and/or managers. the culture is "flavor of the month" with little consideration for the impact on employees and very poor change management. Employees who once felt valued, now feel like a number. The merger of three groups resulted in the weakest of the three having the biggest seat at the table- seems counter intuitive. Gender inequality in leadership positions. company frequently recognizes individuals who's main accomplishment is taking credit for the work of others or self promotion. It is embarrassing and makes loyal, hard working people who do things right lose faith in the company.

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.
