Pros

Good benefits. "Unlimited" PTO, but based on business needs, so good luck using it.

Cons

Very few positions in leadership roles - it's nearly impossible to get promoted even after years of service and stellar reviews. There was a freeze on promotions for several years from some upper management who have since retired. Lots of the upper/middle management are only interested in hearing themselves talk. Pay does not fall in line with the complexity of work or sheer volume of tasks.

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.
