Express Scripts reviews

Every team works in silos. Everyone only wants to own their one area and have nothing to do with upstream or downstream processes. There have been so many director level and above firings in the last few years that no one wants to put their neck out. If there is an error, senior management may be looking for a scapegoat instead of trying to attempting to coach and retain talent. It is also an extremely meeting heavy culture, another sign of the bureaucracy. Most people will not pick up the phone and many get so overloaded with emails that the only way to reach them is out 30 minutes on the calendar. Most directors and above that I know have meetings booked solid, often double and triple booked, from 9-5. Compensation is below market, though many higher up in the company have massive paychecks. There is always the pressure to work more. My group is more lax than others but my unwillingness to regularly work more than 50 hours a week will probably be career limiting.

Management is a mess. No reviews, one on one meetings are constantly pushed back or cancelled outright, feedback is hard to come by. Lay-offs always seem right around the corner. Overall business model is sketchy and it seems like earnings are going to keep falling, but the executives will always get their money. The merger with Medco was a mistake. Employees are numbers to management; I've been referred to as a 'budget item" Use of forced ranking is dehumanizing
