Pros

excellent 401K and bennies, including fairly generous time off policy (PTO) onsite cafeteria and garaged parking friendly work mates tiny onsite gym

Cons

Management treats all employees as workaholics, expecting loads of overtime (not compensated), and very time reduced, stressful schedules. There is no documentation, so given a task with little to no details, and must run with it. Salary is well below industry average. Must hit the job running, or be terminated. There is NO working from home, period.

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.
