Pros

Decent campus, cafeteria, covered parking, decent benefits. Still a lot of good people but a lot have quit or more common these days is the pink slip.

Cons

Has become your typical large, silo type company and culture. Unless you are absolutely brilliant (rare) or cozy up and schmooze and whine to the right people you basically get lost in the shuffle and forgotten. They are now shipping jobs to India as well so have become 'that' company and bottom line is clearly more important than employees and morale. Makes internal movement and aspirations tough now as well.

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.
