Pros

Great West is a stable large company that has great amenities on site. The cafeteria, fitness facilities, and parking garage are very nice to have. Management was friendly and willing to help advance my career.

Cons

Corporate hours were not very flexible and they expected you to put in at least 45 hours per week. They do not believe in comp time or overtime so they take advantage of salaried employees.

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.
