Pros

There is a lot of training available to everyone. The benefits are good although healthcare did increase a little this year. They are making advancements in software Laid back atmosphere. Parking garage is nice to have.

Cons

Management does not seem connected with day to day operations. They will tell you they are looking into it and nothing seems to change. Maybe they are too busy and forget. They only look at numbers for performance. Pay is conservative, however there were no layoffs during 2008-2009. More employee recognition or department lunches would be nice. Finding information that you need is not always easy to locate. It can be hard to move to an upper management position as not many people leave the company. Job responsibilities are not always clear.

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.
