Pros

If you love helping people with their retirement and financial planning this is a great position. If you have a passion for teaching, this is the perfect role for you- many people simply do not understand how the retirement plan they are participating in will help them "live" in retirement. If you like "changing lives"- this is the gig for you.

Cons

There is always a weak link in any chain- ours is our marketing department and our IT support. But you can work around that...but it is sometimes frustrating.

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

Responsible Time (which is truly encouraged to be used and is one of the only things keeping people above water at the moment); great coworkers

Cons

Company is growing too big, too fast and employees simply cannot keep up and are burning out. Too many changes at once and employees feel senior leadership does not notice or they simply don’t care. Associates who have been with Empower since the beginning are saying this is not the same Empower they once loved working for.
