Pros

You get to collect a paycheck.

Cons

- compliance nightmare - terrible onboarding experience if you can consider what they call onboarding any type of training - stuck in their outdated ways - the accountability for the brokerage team lacking any leadership or understanding gets pass around to anybody but the manager - horrible company culture - forces OT without communicating that in the hiring process - the amount of gossiping the director and managers engage & initiate is surreal given their ages - witness multiple team memeber have anxiety attacks due to the lack of leadership and workload and the director and managers blamed it on the rep, which th no self-reflection - the manual process and lack of management involvement is a compliance nightmare waiting to explode.

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.
