Pros

You get to collect a paycheck.

Cons

- compliance nightmare - terrible onboarding experience if you can consider what they call onboarding any type of training - stuck in their outdated ways - the accountability for the brokerage team lacking any leadership or understanding gets pass around to anybody but the manager - horrible company culture - forces OT without communicating that in the hiring process - the amount of gossiping the director and managers engage & initiate is surreal given their ages - witness multiple team memeber have anxiety attacks due to the lack of leadership and workload and the director and managers blamed it on the rep, which th no self-reflection - the manual process and lack of management involvement is a compliance nightmare waiting to explode.

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.
