Pros

Good benefits. Many good people here. The company is committed to doing the right thing for clients. The ability to work remotely also is nice.

Cons

The processes, technology, and the overall way people talk to each other feels like a company and culture that is 10-15 years behind. Work life balance is hit or miss. Be prepared to put in a lot of hours because the company is growing faster than capacity. I guess working a lot does beat the alternative of not having a job, but burn out is real.

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.
