Pros

There are no pros for empower. The honeymoon phase is very very short and no matter what department you work in, you’re forced to refer anything that has a pulse to wealth advisors

Cons

So many - where do I begin? It’s fidelity 2.0 as I used to work there. To see one person after another get fired for goals that change monthly, it is very troublesome. I’ve already started looking for other employment. I’m also penalized if I take time off work, which should be against the law.

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.
