Pros

The product and implementation teams have very good leadership and direction. The financial stability of the company is very good but margins are tight

Cons

IT organization continues to speed along like the 1990s. Senior leadership is blind to the cultural problems Bullying is an acceptable management practice The drive to needing more margin and it increasing expense will cause fallout

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.
