Former Employee – worked at Medco Health full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Works from home they provide everything, offer different schedules to accomodate you, you get $1 raise after 90 days. Benefits are great, You get a generous amount of vacation and sick time. You get bonuses for doing your job.

Cons – you will get burned out quickly, Jan is their high season and no one is allowed to take off during that time. You feel like someone is watching what you do all the time. They are more micro-managed b/c you do work from home. The company is still starting people out at $12 since 2005. You would think that they would offer a higher pay after being in Charlotte for 7 years.
