Pros

Ability to work from remote. I get to wear t shirts and comfortable clothes. The technology here at empower is amazing and were spoiled in today's modern workforce. Our culture and value proposition are superior in today's competitive markets. Got the ability to make great money.

Cons

Quotas can be somewhat challenging.

Pros

I have worked in healthcare in most of my background before working at Empower and I have never had more thorough training for my role as representative and am blown away at the knowledge I have gained in just a little over a year. Yes, I am fully remote but have never felt as much inclusivity as I do here at Empower. Everyone is more than willing to help go over and beyond with retirement questions that need clarification and really aid in your ability to get the job done. I love it here and my eyes are still wide with all the opportunity in front of me.

Cons

Downside could be, networking is hard when you don't run into familiar face in an office setting but there are ample opportunities provided to associates via email that you can sign up for and really take advantage of the resources that are here at Empower. Additionally, there are busier quarters where phone calls are back to back with little breathing room. This doesn't last forever but definitely can be a bit mentally draining and if you cannot fathom pushing through "taking one call at a time" This role may not be for you. Personally, I think the pros outweigh the cons.

Pros

Empower continues to be my employer of choice and will continue to be so indefinitely. I've been here for several years, and I continue to genuinely enjoy contributing here. I have great respect for our leadership and the overall direction of the organization. Empower takes great care of their employees and does an excellent job hiring and retaining quality people.

Cons

The main con for Empower is similar across all like organizations (particularly financial services), and that is red tape. It is an unfortunate reality, and something I've tried my best to acclimate to.
