Pros

Stable, provides very necessary service to individuals. Bonuses and merit increases in place ever year I've been here. The vast majority of people enjoy working here - a lot of employee referrals. Nice corporate headquarters in the DTC.

Cons

Industry has constant change. Great-West operates very leanly. Change can take a while, after lots of analysis, but when it comes it's fast and furious.

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.
