Pros

The Benefits are fantastic. The company is constantly growing. The relationships you create will last a lifetime. The location is right down town with great location for dining and happy hour.

Cons

It's easy to get promoted in short term. Long term you must move to Denver. They refuse to promote at remote locations such as Milwaukee. The best employees spend over half of their time making up for the inefficiencies of the poor performers.

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.
