Pros

The company provides good benefits, onsite gym, cafeteria and company store, Denver Tech Center location, and very reasonable work hours; Company treats employees to annual summer picnic and holiday luncheon.

Cons

Not sure if it's easy to move around the company as I have not applied for a job outside my department yet; I have seen people leave the company because they were denied opportunities for growth; cafeteria food is expensive; very few choices in this area of DTC for lunch

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.
