Pros

Flex time was great as you were able to come in early and leave earlier or come in later and stay later. The co-workers are very nice, good 401k, benefits, good location and covered parking. If you are able to work with cumbersome systems and adapt to constant change you will fare well here.

Cons

Be prepared to hit the ground running or get buried. The training is trial by fire and you will work very hard and long hours. High turn over. Management is detached from the department and what really needs to get completed. There are tons of "projects" that are more of a waste of time than to improve the department. Each new system is a band-aid for a prior system failure. Little or no room for growth or promotions in this department. They really need to hire more people so that employees are not worked to death.

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.
