Pros

I've been fortunate to have been reporting to caring Directors. Director is very caring and supportive about getting your work/life balance in, (as long as you have your main issues are taken care of). Amazing work group/people. My immediate work group are very knowledgeable and professional.

Cons

Company has gone through a tremendous growth way too quickly and in my opinion no thought was really given as to how it was going to affect the individuals who make the company work. Lots of key folks were lost due to lay offs or people just too stressed to stay. Unfortunately this means that those who are left are picking up the slack without any additional compensation for the extra hours and holidays worked. Being salaried, overtime pay is not an option. Year end ratings put you up against your peers in a competitive fashion. Unfortunately, sometimes hard work doesn't always put you at the top percentile. Overworked, makes you feel underpaid for what's expected. You do more and more is expected in the name of year end reviews.

A chance to be a change agent in improving healthcare in the US

Pros

Working for Express Scripts is an opportunity to actually make a difference in improve the quality and cost of healthcare in the US. I finish every day knowing that I accomplished something important. Is it a challenging environment? Absolutely. But that challenge is what keeps us on our toes and doing our best work. Overall, I work for kind people who are fair and always providing positive feedback. They have a personal life and are supportive when my personal life (i.e. kids, family) need my attention. During Super Storm Sandy, by boss was the first to call me to see if I was ok. And I had only been working for him for 6 months. I miss my Medco colleagues, and adjusting to a new work culture from afar has been hard. But Express Scripts is a good place with good people who are all working to make the cost of health care more affordable for patients and payers.

Cons

Being a remote employee, I do not feel as if there are as many growth opportunities as there were before the merger. While frustrating, I don't believe the grass would be "greener" elsewhere. I earn a fair salary, I have good benefits for my family and my retirement, and I have a good work/life balance.

Director at Express Scripts

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

To some extent, Express Scripts is a "meritocracy," work hard, get promoted. ALL the offices are the same size and there are no assigned parking spaces, no matter what level. This may seem petty, but its an important aspect of the culture. Bonuses can be lucrative based on company performance.

Cons

Express Scripts is a very political place to work. At a certain level, employees spend a significant amount of time managing PERCEPTIONS of themselves and their performance, as opposed to their actual performance and outcomes.
