Working at Express Scripts in Saint Louis, MO: 14 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Saint Louis, MO Area

"Express-Scripts was a great place to work, until the Cigna merger. A lot of good people left and/or was let go as a result of job elimination or the job moved to Cigna HQ. Employee benefits also took a hit as ESI moved to align with Cigna offerings. It was sad to see the end of another great St. Louis pillar."

"Overall it's not a bad job."

"Unprofessional immature environment, that if you are favored, can get away with anything. Pros: Work is consistent. Cons: Childish people play around on the floors. Co-workers are out of hand. There are clicks among the floor. People playing around and hacking through people's cell phones, Facebook accounts, googling other employees they don't like, names, so they can get their addresses and locate their homes on the main computers, so they can make references, when those victims are not home, and say that they were in the home, watching cameras, etc, continuing to harass. Employees can't stay unsupervised for short or long periods of time, without creating problems with other people on the floor. Repeated reports of problems, and then the problems still exists months after the fact. I learned that if working for this company, choose the work from home option. The main floor at the building is a mess. The positive side is, they have good benefits, 401k, health insurance, etc. But the 13.50 an hour is not worth the drama/circus around you."

"I began working for Medco in 2009 and was retained after the merger. I have been rated a high target to stretch performer for all my reviews. In my 30 year professional career, this is probably the worst company I've ever worked for. Pros: Few if any. Work at home is allowed but limited. Bonus for upper management. Free prescription benefits if using mail order pharmacy. Cons: No work life balance. Compensation for phone and Internet access for work at home employees withdrawn after merger. Constantly shifting goals and plans. Constant organizational changes. Year-end calibrations rigged to justify quick terminations, rather than actual employee performance and skill set. In my experience, the stingiest company I have ever worked for. Old, antiquated equipment (still running 5+ year old laptops with W-XP on a majority of employee platforms)."

"I have worked for Express scripts, a large fortune 20 company, for a year and a half now. I am looking for something more stable as I am a contractor currently. I have managed multiple projects simultaneously with budgets of up to $1M. I have worked on short and long term projects and have a strong technical background."
