Express Scripts reviews

Countless con's. Like i said, the bonus is great - but the company wants you to believe that the pay is above what other companies are paying and the bonus gets you out of the league. I drank that Kool-Aid for years and then went out found a job with a hire base and a gazillion other perks including a very competitive bonus structure. They dysfunction has grown since the acquisition. Employee surveys were taken and there has been no action taken to correct problems. Leadership was focused on cost cutting and sent many jobs overseas. Now they don't know why they don't have any SME's left. HR is powerless and inept. The calibration system sucks but I still believe in the principles. It's just that nobody has the desire to make it consistent and fair. It is truly a popularity contest when it should be about the work you produce. I've been in those discussions, and have witnessed the politics at play. This is about somebody's career, not how well they talked about the stuff they weren't delivering. Talk is cheap and the company rewards those that spin, not those that do because the leaders don't want to take the time to really dig in figure out who is doing the actual work and who is only talking about it.

Outside of the headquarters, jobs are limited and remote/virtual opportunities are limited. Express Scripts' unofficial policy has been to hire outside the company to get the skills that they need for any given position instead of promoting and developing existing employees. Recent employee survey results were so bad that management would not publish the results. Lack of opportunities and training was one of the top complaints according to Senior Management's review of the survey. Other concerns included poor pay and poor work-life balance. Express Scripts has certainly earned their place as the 2nd worst company to work for in the US. Recent (2014) customer feedback from physicians, patients, drug manufacturers and insurance providers has also been extremely negative which is a reflection/result of the cutthroat, efficiency driven culture that the CEO George Paz has developed at Express Scripts and forced upon the newly acquired Medco Health Services.
