Pros

Really can't think of any pros when it comes to Express Scripts.

Cons

Where shall I start? Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Raises are based on your popularity, if you're tied with a peer when it comes to your raise, whoever is better likes gets the highest raise. Express Scripts WILL NOT give the top raise to every employee who deserves and/or earned it. If you do get a raise, it's only pennies. And as far the bonuses go, again it depends if they like you or not. The better you're liked, the higher the bones. They don't believe in giving everyone the top raise and that is coming from a supervisors mouth. What I've noticed as far as promotions go, African Americans and Middle Eastern people are the ones being promoted. I could go on and on, but I won't. I'm not a bitter former employee. I put in my time and left on great terms. Just not a place to retire from. I would rather clean bathrooms then work at ESI. Glad my prison sentence is over.

Pros

Most people are generally friendly, at least a few people are willing to collaborate in each department. The majority of employees try to do a good job

Cons

Everything else. There is no work-life balance for anyone, even for direct supervisors. Management is expected to give the lip-service about patient care and quality of work but outside of meetings everyone knows there is too much red tape, miscommunication, and poor training to get the work done correctly. This company cares about its bottom line, never let them tell you different. The pay depends on who you worked for before the merger. From the Medco side, they have announced massive layoffs and closed entire facilities, then hired on the Express Scripts side for lower pay. With lower pay comes less experience, just another barrier to quality care for the patient. Raises and bonuses have been frozen for 3 years and I don't expect that to change. The employees have nothing to work towards or achieve other than their next paycheck and that is the only thing that keeps most of us there until we can find something else. They also REQUIRE you to use their services or the prescription plan won't cover the medications at the same rate. I've learned that this requirement isn't just for employees, its also for patients (including my own mother who works for company in contract to Express Scripts.) I have never, EVER felt so undervalued as an employee.
