Pros

1) the benefits and PTO are decent 2) working from can be considered a benefit 3) I enjoy the work and the clients.

Cons

1) income is capped and they use metrics designed to prevent consultants from maximizing payout. 2) the compensation plan has changed 4 times in 2 years….this year alone I am on my 3rd compensation plan. 3) lack of growth both in income and career 4) Management is useless. They over promise and under deliver. I am a 14yr professional and my income is lower now then any point in my recent career. Please note, I am a Top Producer and currently lead my team in monthly production. So I am not some inexperienced lazy salesperson, I am a under-compensated producer and closer.

Pros

Responsible Time (which is truly encouraged to be used and is one of the only things keeping people above water at the moment); great coworkers

Cons

Company is growing too big, too fast and employees simply cannot keep up and are burning out. Too many changes at once and employees feel senior leadership does not notice or they simply don’t care. Associates who have been with Empower since the beginning are saying this is not the same Empower they once loved working for.
