Pros

Good 401(k) plan with matching that begins on date of hire. Free parking in Milwaukee. Low cost of health and dental benefits. Good vacation and personal time benefits starting on date of hire.

Cons

Poor career development. One can tend to be "slotted" in the position for which they were hired, especially if they were good at it. To receive a promotion or a different position within the company, you need to apply on the company website and hope that your current manager won't fight to keep you put.

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.
