Pros

Some really great people to work with depending on the position you are in. Most people have been with the company a long time, and some are extremely knowledgeable. Good benefits. On-site cafeteria, on-site fitness center, on-site medical clinic, on-site bank, on-site convenience store.

Cons

Upper management does NOT listen to the people that are actually doing the work, allowing them to make millions each year. LOTS of overtime, depending on the department and time of year... sometimes it seems neverending. The company sees everyone as expendable, but I guess that is almost every company nowadays.

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

Many smart people genuinely want to grow & succeed; An excellent long term strategic vision backed by long term oriented investors; Ample growth opportunities at a business that is very well positioned for long term growth. Leaders that genuinely care about their people. Remote work is truly an advantage - just the lack of a commute makes a large difference. Opportunity to be at the ground level of a company that will develop a much stronger national brand over the next decade.

Cons

Delivery & Execution are areas that are truly challenging in the high growth/evolutionary environment that Empower is in today. Cultural changes are happening within the business that create some competing priorities, though Sr. Leaders continue to lead through this. Working with people across the US means don't expect a normal schedule - early / late starts and working lunches are the norm.
