Pros

The only thing I liked about Great West was it provides 3 times free food to employees.

Cons

The managers really needs a session on how to treat there employees because employees are treated as machines rather than humans. Majority of its operations are in to night shift. Working in night shift is fine, even doing over time is fine sometimes due to unexpected business requirements. But the issue in GW is since the employees are treated as machines there is no harm in stretching for 3-4 hours daily thats what the managers think. During my tenure in GW I was sleep deprived and in terms pf carrier growth also GW doesn't offer much. Less pay, less hike, less bonus; over all the compensation is not even as per market standards. I remember, once we had a session with the Director. We shared few negative feedback to him regarding certain issues we were facing. Rather than assuring us that the issue will be soon resolved by the management, he simply ignored what me said started giving lame explanations. Perhaps, his ego was hurt because of us, thats why after that session he started targeting us for all wrong reasons. This is what all the managers do in GW when some one raises a voices regarding the wrong unprofessional activities happening there.

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.
