Pros

Empower will provide everything you need to do excel at your responsibilities in your role. All you need to do is show up and perform. If you are a team player and a hard worker this is a good place for you. The benefits are great and the people are all like minded.

Cons

Expectations are high. If you don't want to work, you are in the wrong place. Things are always changing and you will be expected to keep up a quick pace. The needs in the financial industry are high paced as well. The tools are here but you will need to be a self starter and a great listener.

Empower strives to be as diverse as the customers we serve. We believe doing the right thing means understanding, supporting and leveraging the inherent and acquired differences that make each of us unique and valuable.

How we’re taking action

  • We offer inclusive benefits to same-sex partners, paternity and maternity benefits and transgender transition benefits.
  • Through partnerships with groups like the Latino Leadership, Disability:IN, Human Rights Campaign Institute and Women in Pension Networks, we’re expanding our pool of candidates.
  • Our Business Resource Groups rally around common interests, experiences and identities; today, more than 20% of our associates belong to at least one Business Resource Group.
  • Our Diversity & Inclusion Council monitors and communicates progress about our initiatives and also advises on future efforts.
Who is Empower?

Simply put, we’re a financial services company on a mission to empower financial freedom for all. We work with individuals and all sizes of organizations to offer investment, wealth management and retirement solutions, along with the free Empower Personal Dashboard™, so everyone can have a clear and simple understanding of where their finances are today and where they’re headed.

Headquartered in metro Denver, we serve customers nationwide through offices around the country and internationally. We hire associates in a variety of fields who thrive in a collaborative work environment, seek opportunities to grow, enjoy solving challenging problems and appreciate a flexible work environment.
