Pros

Great medical, dental, vision benefits.

Cons

Every second is tracked and documented. I was with Prudential before the merger and had a great time working there. It all went downhill once I was officially on the Empower system. It got to the point where I was questioned at Empower for going to the bathroom outside of my scheduled break time 3 times in a month. I was even questioned for pausing to blow my nose or sneeze. The metric numbers that they go by are getting increasingly more strict which has led to a high number of turnover. The job is easy but being tracked and questioned like this felt like slave work. If you care about your mental health, stay far far away from Empower.

Pros

Empower fully supports work life balance. They also support and encourage community service. I like the fact that they match not only by monetary contributions, they also match actual volunteer hours with money. Management at all levels is committed and invested in you professionally and personally.

Cons

None that I have found.

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.
