Lack of growth opportunities and lack of inflation adjusted wage increases
Empower Response

Thank you for sharing. We're glad you experienced a positive culture and work/life balance. We also hear your feedback on growth opportunities. We are always looking internal and encourage you to reach out to your manager for growth conversations and opportunities.
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.
It is a consistent paycheck in an industry that isn't going anywhere. The benefits are average to slightly below average. If you are lucky, your immediate manager will be a real person and not just a faceless suit.
Cons
A caution to the culture :
Empower is more interested in APPEARING to be a good place to work instead of actually being a good place to work. The employees were instructed by HR to leave a Glassdoor review IF we enjoy working at Empower. They made no mention of everyone leaving honest feedback regardless of their feelings about the company. That is incredibly telling about the culture and priorities of the company.
