Express Scripts Employee Reviews about "work from home"

Pros

work at home, layoffs are rare, great benefits, monthly bonus, periodic contests to win prizes or redemption points, good management, friendly employees, paid vacation, paid time off, low turnover

Cons

schedule, high seniority, benefits don't kick in for 90 days, 4 weeks training, periodic changing of rules, some issues with phone system, outdated software

Advice to Management

Offer early retirement packages for senior employees to free up better shifts for lower seniority employees, update computer software and servers, quicker updates on upcoming rule changes, update the phone software, have benefits kick in after 30 days

Pros

The building/cafeteria are very nice and pleasant to work in, the people can be kind and the PTO is generous- 20 days total. The work from home policy is also great

Cons

Very strict hierarchy- your perceived worth is determined by your title. There are strict rules stating that you can't even apply for a new position without your manager's approval, and this limits upward growth. It seems like people's actions are motived by the desire to move to the next step on the corporate ladder, not by what is actually the best choice for patients and the company. Too many people with... management titles that create unneeded processes.

Pros

Work life balance is top notch. Aces for work culture. Aces for SUPER diversity. At Express Scripts work is easy. Very easy to love what you do because leadership support is super amazing. As a matter of fact I can't express in words why I just love to go in to the office every day. Work from home is also very flexible.

Cons

I am so comfortable at this job I honestly can't think of any cons. FYI Express Scripts is not what it used to be a few years ago. This company, now a subsidiary of Cigna, is truly one of the best places to work in America and there are statistics to prove that.

Pros

Flexible ability to work from home, great benefits and wellness program, supportive leadership

Cons

Starting in the slow season is...slow. Gain lots of niche industry knowledge but not many hard skills applicable outside of PBM.

Pros

I have worked with Express Scripts for over 13 years even through all mergers and acquisitions. The benefits and work from home are great pros.

Cons

It is concerning to me how employees were let go during mergers and how I have actually heard individuals advise managers not to rehire employees for no reason. There are managers actually bypassing candidates just because another employee advised them not to re- hire them.

Advice to Management

HR and Upper Management needs to ensure that Managers are suited for the job.

Pros

Co-workers Work from home when necessary Flexible work schedule Department team activities

Cons

Heavy workload Too much overtime for the salary Promotion opportunities offered to select employees Poor management

Advice to Management

Annual evaluation percentage should provide at least $1/hr increase Stop expecting high performers to stay when you’re only promoting one employee every five years Provide follow through on your word Stop expecting 50 hour work weeks, excessive meetings, training and random group activities that no one has time for

Pros

ESI understand that life doesn’t happen before 8am and after 5pm. Flexible hours, work from home and amazing people are just a few awesome reasons to work here.

Cons

I wish there were more woman in IT and upper management but that’s just IT in general.

Pros

Work from home, empowered, benefits, pay.

Cons

Only 1 ping pong table.
