Pros

100% remote Good benefits $85k base, paid hourly (overtime eligible)

Cons

Too many to list: Unrealistic goals Systems are archaic, always something wrong Inferior product offering, embarrassing Bait and switch client meetings; offer complimentary review, then pitch products that don't fit for the client Tons of Cold Calling, was told there wouldn't be any Managers are unqualified vs advisors they hired Lots of promises from management, ZERO delivering; blame advisors for the complete mess the Director and management team built Lots of gaslighting from management making advisors believe they're the problem

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.
