The leadership is bad but don’t worry they will always pay themselves more than they pay you. - Senior Wealth Advisor Empower Employee Review

Pros

It started off hopeful until leadership implemented their ideas.

Cons

I was hopeful because remote work but everything is monitored and goals are set that if you don’t work a lot of overtime you will not be able to hit them. The revue you produce will flow directly to leadership and because they are paid on your performance they will always hound you for more. But I will say if you can get that manager role (and you don’t mind treating people like crap) you can be positioned to have the flow of funds directed at you, and you can be the person who creates the incentive comp plans that so clearly take money out of the associates pockets and directs it to you.

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.
