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.

Pros

Empower is a fast-paced organization with exceptional leadership. We serve clients in a very noble way, making us an industry leader. Our organization lives its values in how goals are set, decisions are made and rewards are determined.

Cons

It's incredibly fast paced and employees who do best are those who are comfortable with juggling many priorities and independently navigating ambiguity.
