Pros

Empower offers good benefits to employees. There are many good people who work at Empower which always made the heavy workload worth it. Allowing employees to remain in a full-time WFH status was also nice.

Cons

Empower claims to care about their employees but through actions show otherwise. They continue to increase workloads without properly staffing teams and have layoffs multiple times a year. Over the years the company has become so focused on beating Fidelity and cutting costs they pursue those goals no matter the cost to employees.

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.
