      Pros

      There are no pros for empower. The honeymoon phase is very very short and no matter what department you work in, you’re forced to refer anything that has a pulse to wealth advisors

      Cons

      So many - where do I begin? It’s fidelity 2.0 as I used to work there. To see one person after another get fired for goals that change monthly, it is very troublesome. I’ve already started looking for other employment. I’m also penalized if I take time off work, which should be against the law.

We continue to review how we measure performance to ensure expectations are meaningful, achievable, and reflective of real contributions. We appreciate you taking the time to speak up.
