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.
