Pros
Empowerly's commitment to supporting students and counselors is unparalleled. They regularly offer training sessions, webinars, and workshops that help us stay current on the latest trends in higher education and college admissions. I have found these opportunities invaluable in enhancing my own knowledge and skills, which in turn, allows me to better serve my students. Additionally, the company provides a wealth of resources for students, from internship and scholarship databases, a dedicated essay editing team, customer support team, and research team. The support team is always available to answer questions and provide assistance, ensuring that students receive the guidance they need to succeed. But what truly sets this company apart from other places I've worked is the dedication to building a community of counselors. They foster a collaborative environment where counselors can share best practices, exchange ideas, and support one another. I truly believe I am doing my best work here.
Cons
Sometimes students are matched to you who are not a good fit and parents have unrealistic expectations, but that's just due for the course of this kind of work.
