Pros

We have a very collaborative and inclusive culture at Empower. The benefits are great and have improved over the past two years, which is nice to see. I enjoy being a part of a team that is 100% comfortable with remote workers, allowing for a great deal of flexibility and helps with work/life balance. Upper management is always in touch with employees and with what is happening across the business and open to ideas for improving how we work. It is unlike anything I have seen in 20+ years and very refreshing. Middle managers are very much in tune with their team's work and supportive. We have a strong commitment to training here that is also impressive and it makes us stronger together as we grow and win. Employees are proud to work here and that feeling comes through every day. We have great Business Resource Group options, too.

Cons

Our large team is spaced out across the U.S., so it makes it challenging and cost-prohibitive to get together in person. With massive growth comes the reality of needing significant lead time to get certain tasks done, but we have pros always looking at ways to improve efficiencies. Overall, we are still more efficient than some large companies I have worked at in this industry.

Pros

I like working here, I find the work life balance with this role to be ideal, and remote opportunities are regularly available at the company ever since the pandemic. Unlimited PTO and I don't have feel guilty to use it, team structure really helps when people are out of the office. Receive good salary for my part of the country, with yearly raises and bonus based on merit.

Cons

I don't have many cons, I would say it would depend on your manager, as is the case with most positions in this world. I've had amazing managers with my time here and some mediocre managers, but overall the job has been good enough to weather the storm of a bad boss.

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.
