Pros
enjoy working with the adults in my site, whether hourly or salaried ...the work life balance is getting better somewhat. the MORALE is finally being paid attention to ..at legacy ESI sites we are are open to changes for the better .. not sure about the other side ...after 10 years almost happy with my pay and quite happy with my time off accrual rate .. great stock plan and 401K .. and even with the thing i have concerns about ... not even remotely ready to leave the company... i want to stick around and see what happens ..we continue to change and evolve and i want to see what the 'finished' product is in say about 2016
Cons
Extreme LACK OF COMMUNICATION So what really happened.is what i would like to know .. we were told we bought Medco.. then the packaging pretty much said we merged with them.. now it feels nothing like that .. but more of a takeover ... thought we as a company were taking the best of both sides... but i don't see that .. just feels like we are becoming Medco... and frankly Medco didn't handle things well enough to continue on their own which is why we paid cash for them right? .. so give legacy West some love and attention and look at some of our best practices rather than go arrogantly through the day and think you don't have to implement some changes or how about basically appreciating that we saved your a$$ets from bankruptcy; oh and only legacy Medco people seem to be being promoted up at this time ... all the new names and faces are not coming from the legacy ESI side .. for example my Sr Director just stopped coming to work .. now we have a new interim one who is legacy MEDCO.. maybe she is going to get to know our ESI side of things but I'm not as hopeful as i used to be about that
