Pros

The biggest pro is working with participants who need it

Cons

Surely the influx of recent reviews have to be coaxed, because this place is a sinking ship. Empower is always finding ways to make a buck from participants, even when subject to class action lawsuits and now loads of bad press. Not only that, they also just realized that they did not properly sponsor our series 7, meaning our licenses lapsed on their watch. Frankly this is the type of company that will end up on a commercial in 15-20 years prompting class action settlements. Despite how they will lie, please note this job is entirely sales based and all they care about is getting people in poor performing managed accounts. Unfortunately now a lot of us are trapped after having expired licensing.

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.
