Pros

Empowerly has been truly one of the most formative companies I've been at. Though hectic at times like any startup, it's a lot of hard work and good work. - Without Empowerly, I wouldn't have been able to dip my toes into multiple departments and leadership was very supportive of wearing multiple hats - I also learned a lot of leadership and core skills - Colleagues are brilliant, some of the best people I've worked with - Pay is competitive and market rate for a growth stage startup, with opportunities to move between departments Being here genuinely accelerated my career, and I'm grateful for Empowerly for giving me this opportunity

Cons

Like any startup, you will work long hours and be on call on weekends. But at the end of the day, they are transparent about the nature of the work and you're not going in blind. The support from managers and colleagues really make the work enjoyable no matter how hard it is.

Pros

The flexibility is the biggest part. The platform makes it easy to edit essays and give feedback to students. I enjoy seeing their reviews after I give my feedback. Managers are supportive but hands off.

Cons

Work availability can fluctuate depending on essay volume.

Pros

Empowerly has a great environment for counselors. Out of all the counseling companies I've worked for (and I've worked for pretty much all the ones that folks have heard of), Empowerly's technology, culture, support functions, and team is by far the best.

Cons

Probably a better scheduling system. Sometimes the software we use for scheduling is a bit confusing
