Pros

Entry-level jobs are easy and provide a good opportunity to make the most of your own professional growth. The company is diverse enough that it allows one to find a role that best fits your skill set and professional goals. The job stability is high and allows time to balance life and work, as well as pursue additional education and certifications.

Cons

You won't get promoted unless you promote yourself and stand out from the masses. Everyone wants to make more money, and GW is very conservative, however if you don't take risks and put you ass on the line, you won't get noticed. People rarely spend more than three years in the same department, however I know people who have been with the company for over ten years in various roles.

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.
