Express Scripts reviews

No work/life balance depending on your department Way too competitive for bonuses, raises Grew too fast - has a lot to fix

Wow - where to start - this company used to be a fairly decent place to work - but over the last two years they have shifted to a very heavy emphasis on contract labor - over twenty five percent of their work force is now contractors. The Bloomington location is a complete mess - so many IT employees have been laid off over the last year that many knowledgeable people are gone and they are replaced by contractors - not employees. With annual March bonuses paid out - more and more people are leaving voluntarily - they are so fed up with the work environment - laid off workers are not replaced so those left have to take on extra work. The bloomington location is slowly being down-sized through lay-offs and through people who are just sick and tired of management and how they are treating this location - management has to be in a panic given the number of people that are leaving that location. I'm sure they though they could control the downsizing and the job market would keep people there until they were ready to dismiss people - but that's not what is happening - people are leaving faster than they can deal with it. The Bloomington location has not hired new employees in a long time - people leave and are not replaced. The performance review process is a complete joke - forced ranking process so there is always a percentage of people who get low ratings - it just has to be that way - only so many people can get rated highly - so what you actually do over the course of a year really doesn't matter - it doesn't mean you will be recognized for it. The company does not recognize people - they rarely do any company recognition events as they are too cheap!!! For a company that made a billion in profit last year they could do a much better job - this is not a good place to work any longer so you would be better served looking elsewhere.
