Pros

The company lets the company values determine how the business is ran. Associates have input into their day to day work. Remote and hybrid jobs are plentiful.

Cons

There can be a lot of work and it can be difficult to keep up.

An Incredible Place to Work!

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.

Pros

Empower is a large company with vast resources and a lot of intellectual capital, yet also very flexible and client centric. Leaders are engaged, innovative, and truly care about their clients and employees. My colleagues live the corporate values every day and are accountable and collaborative. It's an extremely positive place to work and I am proud to recommend Empower to Plan Sponsors and prospective employees. Great communication throughout the organization and always striving to improve and innovate. Love the culture!

Cons

No downside experienced at Empower.
