Pros

People I worked with in Overland Park were great. Work was challenging and fullfilling. Benefits were above average.

Cons

They were TERRIBLE to people in IT, PMO, QA and other teams once they converted the last of their clients off OMNI in spring of 2017. They laid a bunch of people off (walked them out) after having worked many, many hours to get clients converted to their home-grown system. Some of these folks had many years with JP Morgan prior to Great West and they were kicked to the curb.

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.
