Pros

The employees at Empower are some of the best in the industry. They are team oriented and customer focused. My team is the best resource I have. I work from home full time which has enhanced my work/life balance. Eliminating the commute to and from work allows me to be at home more with my family. Because Empower is such a large organization, the opportunity to move between departments and jobs is always available.

Cons

Empower has grown quickly and continues to do so. We always struggle to find the amount of time and funds to devote to all of the technology builds and enhancements that we want and need in the time that we want them.
