Pros

Good benefits, paid time off, on site store and cafeteria. Hr on site.

Cons

Low pay, MICRO MANAGEMENT, old boys club atmosphere, you need to be a yes man/woman to survive, management does not care about you, terrible software programs, unpredictable overtime, understaffed to get work done within business hours, no snow days, no casual dress, horrible employee retention, high stress environment, very cut throat company that does care about their employees. HR refers you back to management.

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.
