Pros
In my time here, Great-West and Empower has moved from being a market follower to becoming a market leader. We're doing more in the community and providing more innovative services than ever before. Exciting to be part of a company that's trying to influence the market instead of just tag along. Company truly cares about our clients and is trying to move quickly to meet their needs. Although I've been in the same department for 11 years, my role has evolved and I'm constantly being given new challenges and opportunities. The work I do today is not what I did when I started. That keeps it fresh and enjoyable.
Cons
Lots of change. As the company is investing a lot in technology and transformation, departments have to do the same or more with less in some cases. Some locations have more limited career mobility than others. For long-tenured employees, some of the change can be challenging to get on board with. For some departments, longer hours to get everything done. Can't make all the changes as quickly as is needed. Definitely experiencing growing pains.
