Thank you for the direct feedback. We are not going to sidestep it. Empower went through significant leadership and structural changes in early 2026 — including workforce adjustments and infrastructure challenges that affected people's daily experience. Those were real, and the frustration they caused was real. We do not expect a review like this to land differently just because the intent behind the changes was strategic. Since then, new senior leaders have been brought in across operations, technology, and commercial functions specifically to address the gaps you describe. Infrastructure investment — in systems, processes, and operational reliability — is a stated priority for this year, not a vague future plan. We wish you well in what comes next, and if you are ever open to a conversation about what has changed, the door is open. — Empower Pharmacy

Pros

A few things I'd tell anyone considering Empower: We're AI- and innovation-forward, so things move quickly and actually get done. We're early enough that you get to design the foundation, not inherit someone else's. And the mission is real — everyone supports getting patients access to affordable medicine, and the care for that mission is evident in everything we do. Fast, foundational, mission-driven, and team forward.

Cons

Fast pace and a still-being-built foundation cut both ways: priorities shift quickly, some processes and tools are still maturing, and there's more ambiguity and manual work than at an established company. It's a strong fit if you're energized by building and comfortable with change — a harder one if you want everything structured and settled on day one.

This captures the Empower experience for builders with unusual clarity. The tension you name — between the opportunity to design from scratch and the ambiguity that comes with a still-maturing foundation — is exactly the trade-off we want people to understand before they join. Your advice to management is worth repeating: invest in people as fast as you are growing. That is the challenge and the commitment. The tools, support structures, and development paths have to keep pace with the speed of the business, or the speed breaks people instead of energising them. We hear that. Appreciate the candour — this is the kind of review that helps the right people find us. — Empower Pharmacy
