Pros

Break room has snacks you can buy on your lunch break. Pay is ok if you have a degree. Good job to get your foot in the door in the pharmaceutical world

Cons

You will be doing the work of 3 people at once and be told that it is not considered “exceeding expectations”. Some days you won’t get to have lunch until 6-7 hours into your shift depending on how packed the manufacturing schedule is for the day. The manager watches you through the cameras all day everyday. The PTO policy is horrible: accrued with no sick days, no FMLA leave until 1 year of employment. Write ups are passed out like candy.

Pros

At Empower, you have the opportunity to build a future that is dedicated to providing a healthy future for all. When I think of my grandkids, I know I am doing them and the community around them well by serving at Empower. Empower also takes great care of its employees as it's an employee first company. We love our machines and we love more those who help create and maintain them!

Cons

Commitment & Dedication - This isn't a company for those who are not committed to raising the standard each and every year.

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.
