      Now that I have your attention with the 1 stars, let me first say that this company deserves zero stars! This IS SHADOW BANKING AT ITS BEST! Every review that I have seen had absolutely nothing good to say about this company and neither do I. *** telecommunications company that I work for was purchased not too long back by a private equity firm, and since then everything has went to h*** in a hand basket. Why would such a great company (past tense) decide to do business with Empower ? So they can STEAL YOUR MONEY!STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, SHADOW BANK

      For 3 months Ive been trying to move my money. I call every week and I get a different excuse each time. The only reason I gave 1 star was to open this page.

      Empower is the worst business that I have ever dealt with. They took over ********** and now handles the retirement funds for my company. It has been a nightmare trying to get money from my retirement funds. Mistake after mistake on empower side made things difficult. My advice is to stay away from this company. I gave a one star rating because I had to put something but my real rating would be minus 5 stars.

      As the executor of his estate, I have been trying to close my father's ******** ****** ************************* Plan (401k) for 3 months, and Empower has dragged their feet, created obstacles and generally been unresponsive. Empower is a disgace. Their lack of response and incompetence is disrespectful to his devoted and life-long empoyment (RCA- GE- *****************************- ******** ******).

      THE WORST COMPANY to deal with! They put up roadblocks to keep you from getting withdrawals. I have been trying to get a withdrawal for my daughters summer college session and it has been an absolute nightmare. Employers....DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR EMPLOYEES...Find another provider for retirement services.

      I fortunately only have just under $10,000 in the account which I will discontinue funding. They told me today I don't have enough in my account to take a loan out. This is why I root for the bank robbers in movies!

      Nothing but a pack of thieves. Lowdown crooks. ***** close to $80,000 from my annuity is less than six months. There needs to be a class action lawsuit waged now. No one company can be legit and lose someone's retirement savings that quick. It took decades to obtain what they lost in stole in six months.
