Pros

100% remote Good benefits $85k base, paid hourly (overtime eligible)

Cons

Too many to list: Unrealistic goals Systems are archaic, always something wrong Inferior product offering, embarrassing Bait and switch client meetings; offer complimentary review, then pitch products that don't fit for the client Tons of Cold Calling, was told there wouldn't be any Managers are unqualified vs advisors they hired Lots of promises from management, ZERO delivering; blame advisors for the complete mess the Director and management team built Lots of gaslighting from management making advisors believe they're the problem

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.
