Pros

A lot of people who have been at their jobs for 20-30 years and know a lot Free COVERED parking and an accessible location off the freeway. Good 401K plan

Cons

Bad training and documentation; This is compenstated for by people who have been at their jobs for 20-30 years, but doesn't help with new employees or turnover. So-so medical plan. Doesn't cover much for eyewear if you wear progressive. Doesn't cover much for prescriptions or chiaropractices. The company wants to steamline and get more agressive but it keeps throwing tools at it that people find hard to use, time consuming, and there is very little training on them or they don't work in the environment they were supposedly designed for.

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.
