Pros

Amazing benefits, high pay, remote, and there is some flexibility.

Cons

If you don't have experience in the financial industry, you are set up for failure and this job is not for you. The training is structured to bore you to sleep with endless ppts and reading material, and is very ineffective because it doesn't prepare you or expose you to your actual role. You're expected to pass several FINRA exams while learning your role, and this again, is very difficult to near impossible for people new to the field. Lastly and most importantly, the culture and work environment is extremely toxic. You have almost no communication with your direct manager, and are expected to learn from your peers who are very confused themselves. People are constantly throwing each other under the bus, and seniors in the role look for any opportunity to criticize and report their subordinates. It's a mental health crisis waiting to happen. The money and benefits are not worth it.

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.
