Pros

The onboarding was a good/noble attempt.

Cons

- Industry knowledge was given in specks, when asked. - Structurally this is a house of cards living in a margin. - Leadership swings between completely incompetent or just lying. - Micromanaging and political games played within senior and interim management.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad onboarding made a positive impression, and we're sorry the overall experience didn't reflect what we strive to offer every team member. Transparent communication and strong knowledge transfer are priorities we continue to invest in. We take all feedback seriously as we work to close the gap between our intentions and people's lived experience here. We wish you all the best in your next role.

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
