Express Scripts reviews

Training portion of the role essentially didn’t exist. They basically throw you in with the wolves right away. Sure that’s a somewhat good approach to get your hands dirty but right off the bat you take over a former employees duties in like the 2nd week. You always have a full plate of work to do then every other week, a higher manager will ask your team to get an urgent project done and then your plate is overflowing. Back to the quick training, I essentially was burnt out in the first month there and have lost all motivation and desire to get my tasks done. It’s been pretty painful trying to power through my work to get things done on time.

If you find yourself on the wrong team, you'll be managing tedious second-rate processes with limited impact and no real hope of making a significant difference. If you enjoy treading water you'll be fine, but if you get bored of the same thing every day you may not be happy. There are jobs like this at every company, but the size and growth of Express Scripts has made these positions much more prevalent than they used to be. It's much more likely to find yourself in one of these dead-end positions nowadays. It feels more crowded than it used to, and the roles are smaller and more focused on mind-bending levels of detail about really specific things. Actually getting meaningful things done has become very difficult as it requires weigh-in from countless people with their own highly specific needs. Decisions only get made at the VP level, and then often with politics and turf fallout. If you find yourself in a losing or forgotten piece of the organization, jump ship - trust me, you'll be sorry if you don't.
