Pros

no weekends 5% 401k match HSA wellness credit for entry level it starts off paying fine paid time off is nice

Cons

no room to grow nepotism obvious on teams within management. one person has to wait a year to post out while others can be promoted before the year. there is no diversity and inclusion even though they promote it like it is. there are very few and i mean few ppl of color in management roles. there are no sick days the salaries for internal jobs arent listed managers do not want to help you grow. they actually get upset when you decide to post out HR is terrible- they do not reply to inquiries and you never know you werent considered for a job

Pros

I like working here, I find the work life balance with this role to be ideal, and remote opportunities are regularly available at the company ever since the pandemic. Unlimited PTO and I don't have feel guilty to use it, team structure really helps when people are out of the office. Receive good salary for my part of the country, with yearly raises and bonus based on merit.

Cons

I don't have many cons, I would say it would depend on your manager, as is the case with most positions in this world. I've had amazing managers with my time here and some mediocre managers, but overall the job has been good enough to weather the storm of a bad boss.

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.
