Pros

Really wonderful company. Regular bonuses and raises. If a customer compliments you to a manager, then you'll get a certificate for a free lunch in the cafeteria. They'll match donations that you make to non-profits. Good job security.

Cons

It's a call center. They're expanding at breakneck speed and seem unable to hire enough people to keep up. You'll get dozens of emails a day updating you about some plan and they'll expect you to remember one from six months prior. Even though everyone says that folks from the call center are in high demand in other departments (because of how well you get to know various plans), the call center budgets for only a few people to leave every quarter. I've heard of people having to quit and then, a week later, get re-hired by the other department (losing seniority, etc. in the process).

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.
