Pros

I've been at this company 12+ years now and it's always been a really good culture and work environment but that's accelerated in the past few years, along with our growth. Leaders and colleagues are passionate, intelligent, and dedicated to our mission and vision and I find what we do to be noble, purposeful work. It can be fast-paced and intense at times, but that's part of the fun and Empower supports your life outside of work so that you can recharge and not feel burned out. I absolutely love working here and while no company is perfect, Empower remains a top financial services employer of choice and the place to be for me.

Cons

Our recent acquisitions and growth - while amazing opportunities - have stressed the organization somewhat in getting those clients onto our platform and those associates trained in how we do business. But I've recently seen a smoothing out of those issues and our ability to manage rapid growth improves every year as does the quality of talent we attract.

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

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.
