Pros

Co-workers Free access to work out center (classes too) Parking garage Cafeteria (although quality is changing too) Access to cleaning services Close to light rail Just approved casual attire (jeans but with dress shoes)

Cons

No work life balance Management expecting overtime including weekends, holidays Work load is insane!! Been told for over a year that it will get better but no relief in sight. Had layoffs in February and staff waiting for more due to reorganization (just had merge).

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.
