Express Scripts benefits

Medical n dental were great

High deductible. Can't use UPMC doctors or hospitals. And unless you have a catastrophic event, you'll never reach your OOP, so you're forever stuck at 80/20. For a company this large, our benefits should be great. Don't brag about the BILLION dollar company if you're not willing to share any of it with the people who bring it in.

It should not be managed by a pay company

Benefits are decent. You earn kudos points for being a good employee that can be used to buy great products. Employer pays part of insurance and matches 401k contribution up to 4%. PTO and VTO available (voluntary time off).

Generous paid time off starts at 4 weeks per year and goes up every 5 years. Company pays for 80% or more of the cost of benefits which include medical, dental, vision

Express Scripts - removing the 'balance' from 'work/life balance'. Don't worry about trying to draw hard lines between work and life, because Express Scripts doesn't seem to have much trouble ignoring the lines. They might even offer to let you work 60 extra hours in exchange for 32 hours off (1 day a month over 4 months) during the summer months. Which ultimately isn't as bad a deal as it seems, since you'll probably be working at least an extra 10 hours per week anyway.

The worst things about the benefits were 1. we had to pay for our generic medications, when prior, they were free; 2. we had to pay for the company to handle our 401k and investments when prior this was free. The best think was that we received tuition reimbursement. We did have accumulated paid time off that we could add up for longer vacations that lasted over a week.

Good PTO, 401k, & Health Benefits

Tuition assistance and ability to get an MBA from UMSL while working can be helpful for many employees who want to advance their careers.
