Pros

Good opportunity to get your Series 6 & 63 Licenses and learn about investments! Relaxed mood and friendly culture, never met someone here I haven't gotten along with. Good benefits and opportunity to move up or to other positions.

Cons

18 months in call center before you can move to new position. Most companies a year, the extra 6 months is pretty extensive.

Pros

Excellent benefits and compensation, plus onsite cafeteria, convenience store and cleaners.

Cons

Not enough accountability or oversight by upper management. HR was spineless-- employees were allowed to be bullied and harassed by co-workers without proper resolution.

An amazing company to build your career!

Pros

There are so many great things I could list about working at Great-West, but I will limit them! The best aspect about working at Great-West is that your performance is always recognized and appreciated. You will know if you are doing a great job, and vice versa. If you work hard, you WILL stand out, and you will be rewarded for it. Great-West is an amazing place to build your career. When I first started, I was very comforted seeing signs on employee's desks reading "Thank you for 20 years of service!," Etc. Great-West is a place you can begin and end your career. There are so many opportunities available at this company, and you really do feel appreciated for good work.

Cons

The biggest "con" might be the very rigid corporate structure. It can be difficult to get new ideas implemented, though this isn't unique to Great-West.
