Pros

Promote from within. Annual bonus, Profit Sharing and merit increase, good time off policy

Cons

Moving all jobs out of US. Increasing responsibilities without increase in pay, limited advancement of American workers only care about "global" employees. Laying off American workers for foreign workers. Making CSMs now also be PAs but no discussion of increase in pay? You are.getting 2 for 1, the csms are getting 2 jobs and no incentive to do it or care how it will effect the employees

Thank you for sharing your concerns. It is clear you care about Empower and your colleagues. All associates, regardless of location, meet the same standards for performance, compliance, and data security. Protecting participant information is central to our business. We understand compensation and job security are personal topics, and while business conditions and long-term strategy influence those decisions, we appreciate our associates who demonstrate our values, serve our customers, and contribute to our collective company success.
