      Pros

      The best reasons to work at Great West are the benefits. Generous time off and when it's not the "busy season" you can take vacations. Also, Great West is always offering training classes on anything from Excel to professional licenses and the company also gives a decent tuition reimbusement for business classes (5k a yr).

      Cons

      Great West's philosophy is to promote employees who have worked at Great West the longest, not who can do the best job. If you are a hard worker you will be rewarded by doing other employees work load which will burn you out. Great West doesn't seem to get rid of "dead weight" so the lazy employees never have to change. Also, Great West's idea of a raise is 2-4%, hardly worth it.

      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.
