The leadership is bad but don’t worry they will always pay themselves more than they pay you. - Senior Wealth Advisor Empower Employee Review

Pros

It started off hopeful until leadership implemented their ideas.

Cons

I was hopeful because remote work but everything is monitored and goals are set that if you don’t work a lot of overtime you will not be able to hit them. The revue you produce will flow directly to leadership and because they are paid on your performance they will always hound you for more. But I will say if you can get that manager role (and you don’t mind treating people like crap) you can be positioned to have the flow of funds directed at you, and you can be the person who creates the incentive comp plans that so clearly take money out of the associates pockets and directs it to you.

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.
