Pros

Benefits are decent. Offers up to 4% company match.

Cons

Since the merger from JPMorgan/Putnam to Great West Financial, things have significantly and drastically falling apart. The company has done a poor job of engaging employers to unite as a whole. Morale has hit rock bottom and people are unsure of their roles and responsibilities. There has been a lack of emphasis placed on critical system issues with no resolution of fixing crucial mistakes. People do not know who to contact for specific questions or concerns. This company was stingy in terms of their willingness to spend on integration efforts by not allocating sufficient resources during this process. There is also a lack of diversity in management and leadership.

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.
