Pros

Nice people Many positions posted - Not easily attainable Nice offices Great lunch - Sodexo Great 401k Nice PTO Workout facility

Cons

HR is way too political and limits the growth of great employees. They use things like "number of years" to tell you exactly where you need to be in the company. You can't go from F to H because you skipped G. Express Scripts wants to empower the employee (they say), but what they do is really do whatever they can to put you into a system where you go to work everyday, give it your best, go home, and get a marginal raise at the end of the year. If you have a desire to jump the ladder quickly and not be a 50 year old person sitting in a cube, or if you have a desire to move around the company (horizontally) and experience everything the company has to offer, this company isn't for you. You will be limited, unless you know a VP personally. The rating system is crazy - as it gives your manager the ability to determine whether you deserve a 2%, 3% or 4% raise. If you can prove you did an amazing job, your boss can come back and say "you didn't collaborate enough", or "you aren't aligned enough" which in turn sets your "stretch" rating down to a "target" rating... meaning you are getting a shorted raise/bonus. The company pinches pennies, and some managers take it upon themselves to pinch the pennies you might have forgotten to pinch. Fun fact about PTO - they will pay you for your PTO, but if you don't give a full 2 weeks notice before resigning, they don't pay you. A two week notice is a nice thing the employee does for the employer, but they use the two weeks notice to strong arm you into providing it. Seems like legal theft to me.

Pros

As an employee, bonus amounts can be fantastic.

Cons

You have no opinion outside of theirs. Resignation to their way is very much like brainwashing unless you are a VP.
