Pros

Good benefits, paid time off, on site store and cafeteria. Hr on site.

Cons

Low pay, MICRO MANAGEMENT, old boys club atmosphere, you need to be a yes man/woman to survive, management does not care about you, terrible software programs, unpredictable overtime, understaffed to get work done within business hours, no snow days, no casual dress, horrible employee retention, high stress environment, very cut throat company that does care about their employees. HR refers you back to management.

Pros

Empower fully supports work life balance. They also support and encourage community service. I like the fact that they match not only by monetary contributions, they also match actual volunteer hours with money. Management at all levels is committed and invested in you professionally and personally.

Cons

None that I have found.

Pros

It is a consistent paycheck in an industry that isn't going anywhere. The benefits are average to slightly below average. If you are lucky, your immediate manager will be a real person and not just a faceless suit.

Cons

A caution to the culture : Empower is more interested in APPEARING to be a good place to work instead of actually being a good place to work. The employees were instructed by HR to leave a Glassdoor review IF we enjoy working at Empower. They made no mention of everyone leaving honest feedback regardless of their feelings about the company. That is incredibly telling about the culture and priorities of the company.
