RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

Pros

Very few-benefits not good, pay is not good, expectation of a 70 hour work week (if not more), horrible management all the way up. The Express Way values are written everywhere but largely ignored by management. Nepotism, favoritism, unfair work policies, toxic work environment, unrealistic goals, and just plain terrible people.

Cons

Completely clueless management-Site Director was not aware where I sat after running the place for two years. Never left his office. Never engaged with employees. His VP was worse-would fly in once a quarter without a clue in the world how our business ran, but would sit us down and give advice. Of course, it was all wrong, and she was condescending and rude, but we smiled through it. The business plan changes every six months, so whatever you were working on the last six months needs to be thrown out because the focus is now elsewhere. I cannot recall working for a company that cared so little for it's employees. The company thinks of them as replaceable cogs in a wheel.

Pros

Not sure if it’s startegically great idea to have ITDirector / ITSenior Director /IT Vice President. Is Director are so inefficient that they Senior Director to watch them and is Senior Director are not doing their job that they need Vice President to watch . From Director level To Vice President level what is the job difference amongst them . They are just doing copy paste of their responsibility and taking more pay checks . The CIO should merge these 3 roles into one and save money and let the Director be efficient enough and do the work . You need one Director to manage 5 manager ,.for what ? Are the resources so unskilled and unethical ? It’s time for senior executive to THINk .

Cons

All Director / Senior Director are covering each other backs to keep the pay check running .

Pros

The pay is excellent for younger people looking to get started and they do promote within from what I had seen while working there. They're generally fair with benefits if it's absolutely your only resource to them and they do offer a decent amount of PTO for their employees. They're also generally agreeable when it comes to missed days and time off so long as you give notice ahead of time.

Cons

As I said, great position for younger folk just starting out, weather or not your supervisors believe that. The real problem with the company falls on the supervisors. It's not ENTIRELY their fault as I believe some just had poor training and were put into positions they weren't entirely ready to take on, however that isn't exactly an excuse because the regular employee suffers from the lack of adequate assistance and understanding. Most just seem over-worked and under-qualified for their position. There's also the extreme issue of favoritism and it seems that some can get away with hardly working while they'll crack down on people who meet their daily quota when they decide you aren't taking the position as seriously as they'd like. It's not a particularly hard or serious job. Most of your work will be simple clerical things and it'll definitely feel more like customer service than anything else they tell you. It's a job at the end of the day, there are good and bad parts and it's no worse than any retail job you can get. Just don't put too many eggs in the 'Express Scripts' basket. It's not a career.
