Pros

Entry-level jobs are easy and provide a good opportunity to make the most of your own professional growth. The company is diverse enough that it allows one to find a role that best fits your skill set and professional goals. The job stability is high and allows time to balance life and work, as well as pursue additional education and certifications.

Cons

You won't get promoted unless you promote yourself and stand out from the masses. Everyone wants to make more money, and GW is very conservative, however if you don't take risks and put you ass on the line, you won't get noticed. People rarely spend more than three years in the same department, however I know people who have been with the company for over ten years in various roles.

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.
