Pros

The company provides good benefits, onsite gym, cafeteria and company store, Denver Tech Center location, and very reasonable work hours; Company treats employees to annual summer picnic and holiday luncheon.

Cons

Not sure if it's easy to move around the company as I have not applied for a job outside my department yet; I have seen people leave the company because they were denied opportunities for growth; cafeteria food is expensive; very few choices in this area of DTC for lunch

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

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.
