Pros

National level forward thinking Flexible hours Base pay little higher than normal Little supervision

Cons

Total pay package much less than Financial Adviser Never tell you pay and bonus goals until after Q! and sometimes Q3. Field management weak because they are not well trained. Mgmt focus on sales and not train and manage staff. Most critical expect you to be financial advisers but compliance training not match operations process so financial advisers have unnecessary personal liability. Not have enough legal resources to approve basic letter of information required for retirement readiness review after one plus year. Not have enough professional adult training resources to use them for transforming the field to advisers. HR weak.

Pros

Empower fully supports work life balance. They also support and encourage community service. I like the fact that they match not only by monetary contributions, they also match actual volunteer hours with money. Management at all levels is committed and invested in you professionally and personally.

Cons

None that I have found.

Pros

It is a consistent paycheck in an industry that isn't going anywhere. The benefits are average to slightly below average. If you are lucky, your immediate manager will be a real person and not just a faceless suit.

Cons

A caution to the culture : Empower is more interested in APPEARING to be a good place to work instead of actually being a good place to work. The employees were instructed by HR to leave a Glassdoor review IF we enjoy working at Empower. They made no mention of everyone leaving honest feedback regardless of their feelings about the company. That is incredibly telling about the culture and priorities of the company.
