Pros

Nice campus, centrally located, clean offices, work from home option.

Cons

Express Scripts likes to pull you in, suck all of your creativity out then toss you to the dogs. Highest turnover for a company I've ever worked for. Senior leadership has no idea what is going on beneath them nor do they care, it's all about numbers and HR marches to a whole different drum altogether. One of our leaders said in a management meeting they didn't care about their attrition since there is a line out the door of people "begging" to work here. It's great for Express Scripts, they can hire in 'green' workers and start them out on the lower end of the pay scale with little to no investment on their part. I always wondered why there were so few older account managers employed by ESI, now I know why... Conceit and greed at it's finest. You're encouraged to work as a team but then pitted against each other at evaluation time, even our directors can't figure out why this model is still in place but their feet are held to the fire just as ours. This is not a place to begin your career. I do the best I can to encourage the many talented people I come in contact with to look elsewhere, to a company who appreciates their talents, ideas, innovations and personalities. ESI leadership has already mentioned to us that this website (glassdoor.com) is completely bogus, inaccurate and biased when it was brought out in a management meeting. Unfortunately, leadership chooses to discard the thoughts and opinions of their own employees as if they didn't matter. If I was asked to discard the thoughts and opinions of my clients then I wouldn't have a job, how is this any different? Please don't buy into the hype that ESI is a great place to work because it's a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest employers in St. Louis, at the end of the day what does that really mean, does it really matter to you or your family?
