Valued employee
Pros
I've worked with Empower for 18 years and I intend to retire here. I enjoy my job and the culture so much that I would turn down an offer from a competitor even if it were for more money. The reasons why I love working for Empower (in random order): a) job opportunities - I've worked within 3 departments over the course of my tenure. I've always been supported and encouraged to seek opportunities. I'm in my sweet spot job now! Also, we have flexibility to work remotely which saves me a lot of time. b) ideas from anyone are valued for process improvement. c) my managers valued me - without me having to ask, they have promoted me. Our managers treat us like business owners and give us flexibility as moms. d) Benefits! I needed fertility treatment and my clinic said some employers add an optional fertility treatment coverage. I wasn't expecting to have any coverage, but to my delight Empower had opted into coverage! It didn't cover everything, but it made me feel extra valued that my employer understood that fertility is important. I know from being part of Facebook groups that not many employers have any coverage. e) my employer invests in the business - enhancements and product.
Cons
I can't think of any cons. Some job positions likely have less flexibility (such as the call center) where you need to be on calls, but it is still a great steppingstone into the organization.
