Good 401K matching with yearly discretionary contribution of 2%-5%
Cons
Quite a few bad managers, low range salaries for the industry, very little diversity

Thank you for recognizing our 401k match and discretionary contribution. Supporting long term financial security is a priority for us. Strong managers and competitive pay matter, and we continue to focus on leadership development and regular compensation reviews across the organization.
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.
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.
