Vantaggi
Great-West says is mission is to help people retire with dignity. They really drive toward this rather than it just being lip-service, which I appreciate. The company has been improving its benefits and has made progress toward a more modern work environment (i.e. jeans, more flexible work time). The best thing about Great-West is the people. In general, the employees here are truly the nicest I've ever worked with.
Svantaggi
While Great-West is making progress with things like benefits and a modern workplace mentality, the progress can feel a little slow at times. The company is financially conservative, which overall I can appreciate. However, sometimes policies (like travel) don't align and sometimes they need to invest a little more in their employees.
