      GW: Wants to change and get more agressing but is throwing money and tools at it

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of people who have been at their jobs for 20-30 years and know a lot Free COVERED parking and an accessible location off the freeway. Good 401K plan

      Cons

      Bad training and documentation; This is compenstated for by people who have been at their jobs for 20-30 years, but doesn't help with new employees or turnover. So-so medical plan. Doesn't cover much for eyewear if you wear progressive. Doesn't cover much for prescriptions or chiaropractices. The company wants to steamline and get more agressive but it keeps throwing tools at it that people find hard to use, time consuming, and there is very little training on them or they don't work in the environment they were supposedly designed for.

      Good amenities while taking advantage of salaried employees.

      Pros

      Great West is a stable large company that has great amenities on site. The cafeteria, fitness facilities, and parking garage are very nice to have. Management was friendly and willing to help advance my career.

      Cons

      Corporate hours were not very flexible and they expected you to put in at least 45 hours per week. They do not believe in comp time or overtime so they take advantage of salaried employees.

      Six plus years here - great experience

      Pros

      Stable, provides very necessary service to individuals. Bonuses and merit increases in place ever year I've been here. The vast majority of people enjoy working here - a lot of employee referrals. Nice corporate headquarters in the DTC.

      Cons

      Industry has constant change. Great-West operates very leanly. Change can take a while, after lots of analysis, but when it comes it's fast and furious.
