Pros
I've worked at Empower for over 25 years and seen the company grow from 500 employees to over 13,000. During that entire time, the company has always put their employees first (right after the clients). They understand that their most important resource is not computers or applications but rather its people. My coworkers are energetic, excited to solve issues and work together, and have a positive attitude. I've worked several places where people hate coming into work, but I've never seen that attitude from any of my coworkers. The culture and innovation is second to none and the leadership is strong. Our values are not just a poster, but a way of life from the top down. We truly value diversity and are a leader in the industry. While other firms have pulled their teams back into the office, we continue to allow for 100% remote work which creates a great work/life balance and allows us to hire and retain the best talent. I've always enjoyed my job and the challenges it brings. Empower is truly different from the rest.
Cons
I no longer have access to the free coffee/hot chocolate machine as I'm full-time remote.
