I worked at the Director level for Express Scripts. The Senior Leadership of the company has fallen under the influence of Jack Welch and all of his management principles. Most notably, as a Director, Sr. Director or Vice President - you are expected to go thru all of your direct reports every fall and rank them. You then are expected to summarily fire or lay off your "bottom 10%" every year. I worked for a newly promoted (and very cocky) Vice President out of St. Louis who basically fired me because as a Director I refused to "manage out" (or fire) one of my analysts that this Vice President considered to be in his bottom 10%. I refused to do this and paid the ultimate price. The reason I refused was this... thie employee improved their performance after I mentored and coached them and put them into a more suitable position.

Top top it off, before I was fired (laid off), I helped save Express Scripts almost 1 million a year in expenses. I also had the highest employee satisfaction ratings for all Directors in our department. In fact, I had achieve zero negative turnover for my department for my entire tenure. How did Express Scripts reward me for this? I was laid off (fired) right before Christmas, along with several of my staff. Nice...

In the end, the Vice President that I worked for was, to be honest, a swaggering ego maniac! He openly admitted to others the he himself lied about his salary when he joined the company years back. After I left Express Scripts, I logged an ethics issue against him on their confidential "Ethics Hotline". Well, that was a joke. He still has a job and I know for a fact that other employees in "lesser positions" who were guilty of lying about their previous employment records were met with instant dimissal. I hope that these folks come forward and retain the biggest, fattest, baldest lawyers they can find to sue the pants off of Express Scripts and it's Corporate Leadership.

By the way, I do have to agree with the other review from the former employee out of the Tempe, Arizona mega pharmacy. This company is a joke!!! If you are considering taking a position with Express Scripts, I promise you this: If you join Express Scripts (at any level), you will have "The Sword of Damacles" hanging over year head... from the first day you start until the day you leave. AVOID WORKING AT EXPRESS SCRIPTS!!!

This place sucks to work at. The first week I started working there was when they started giving me trouble. I was invited by the lead supervisor to make suggestions to improve productivity. I thought I was qualified as I had just come there from Caremark after their Dec. layoff. I typed up a page of suggestions like a proposal. I was hoping to get a raise if something I suggested was implemented, saving the company money. They only started me at $10/hr. I turned it in. A week later, the shipping supervisor, a b**** named Mryna, pulled me into her office. Instead of taking it as constructive, she took the entire typed page as an insult to her company. She told me I had a bad attitude. She put me down so bad I cried on the spot. I went on with work hoping to avoid trouble. Things were ok for awhile. Then two months later, I was pulled into the office again. Another supervisor had always been flirting with me and I ignored him. This guy flirts with every girl there. He had told the shipping supervisor that he had seen me trying to fix something on the machine which requires a password, of which I don't possess the knowledge. The shipping supervisor informed me that they changed the password on account of me, which is ridiculous. I was given a final written warning. I was never even given my first warning. I told her that I was not messing with the machine but she didn't hear me. I was sent out of the office again. The written warning disqualified me of receiving a bonus check the next week. I was bummed. They were trying to find ways to fire me so I quit. I'm still seeking employment. My husband who still works there informed me that they are now trying to make changes to the sorting method, which is one of my suggestions on the typed page. Now that I'm not there they can't pay me for that idea. The next day my husband worked, he got written up along with some other co-workers for bogus things. It's again time for bonus checks the next week. They only promote immigrants at this place. They find ways not to give you your bonus check. Half the shippers have left. Morale is very low. They don't do anything about sexual discrimination. Don't apply to work here. If you know someone who wants to work at Express Scripts, tell them about what happened.
