Pros

Great West is a wonderful company to work for, but it all depends on which department you are. GW pays for your school and they train you. Their health benefits are wonderful for you and your family. They have a gym and a medical center in their campus. Also, their cafeteria is awesome, great food, from healthy to unhealthy treats. This is an amazing place to work, and they also have cover parking spaces.

Cons

As Fund accountant, you will not have time to take an hour for lunch, not even thirty minutes, not even fifteen minutes...You will be lucky if you can take a break at all. Every day is different!! Moreover, some of the supervisors in this department are moody and cranky. They yell at you and they get away with it.

Pros

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.

Cons

None that I have found.

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.
