Pros

Benefits, training on the systems, and pay were the only pros I can think of.

Cons

Everything else was awful. This is a revolving door position that is focused solely on sales. For the most part you talk to people who have left their employer and try to convince them to open an IRA with Empower. While this can be a good fit for some people, it is not the right fit for everyone, and the only two offerings Empower has is a brokerage IRA that a client can get just about anywhere or a mutual fund only IRA with high expense ratios. Although these two options are very likely not the best fit for the customer your job is to find a way to convince them it is even though the companies values state they “do what’s right for the customer.”

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.
