Medco Health Solutions Employer Reviews

Nice co-workers. I was also a trainer for a while.I made some very good friends there.

This was one the hardest job I ever had. The team I worked with was good, however the training was lacking. The management team was difficult to work with

loved it here pay was good benefits good would recommend to anybody

very fun place to work always something new a real learning experience

A typical day included answering members phone calls. Providing accurate information to members and providers with an up-beat tone. I have learned to show great amount of empathy. The management is ok depends on your manager. The hardest part of the day is after providing members with all solutions they have regarding their prescription benifits and – more... they still cannot afford their medications, I can get a little emotional. The co-workers are awesome and become family and they are my most enjoyable part of the job. – less

Medco now Express Scripts is a great place to gain experience in the work place. Not sure about a career.

My day involved duties of a staff pharmacist with responsibilities dedicated to Drug Utilization Review (DUR). In this capacity, reviewed patient profile for drug interactions, adherence, dosing regimen, food-drug interaction, and drug-disease state interactions. When problem identified, was involved in interaction with doctors, patients, and patient's – more... care-giver to resolve any potential problem in patient's therapy which may arise. Medco very proactive with training and CE offerings. Management vigilant, but let us do our jobs as pharmacists. Overall, a good environment to work. – less

Called the Physician's offices on behalf of the patient's PBM to educate them of the patient's plan regarding formulary/ non-formulary / brand/ generic medications.

22 + years ago I started in the mail room at this #1 mail order pharmacy. Since then I have grown to become the person I am today; {A leader} my coworkers "friends" say I someone they can confide in to help them not only on a professional level but personal as well "they called me the dept therapist/mom LOL"
I have true friends that have become well – more... more like family now. "we have shared our lives and grown together through ups and downs, tears and smiles, accomplishments and defeats."
I can say there was never a time I didn't enjoy my job "I was very content" – less

Really enjoyed working here, unfortunately our department will be closing and we will be layed off

It was a job that offered lot of advancements toward your career goals. It a knowledge base company that strive on assisting employees to advance to the next level of his or her career.

Express Scripts bought Medco and they are the cheapest, money hungry animals I have ever seen. They took or sales department and robbed us of commision, and they ask in return for HIGHER NUMBERS. People there now have to look elsewhere for work to feed thier families because of this. Tough to get fired from the place, I will say that, and about 19 days – more... paid off the first year. Insurance is not bad, but I still have to quit after they cut my pay by 30% b/c of the commission deal. – less

Great co-workers and work culture. The company provided lots of chances for advancement.

Co-workers were great, management could use a bit of work. Compensation was suffice, benefits, union and some OT. Not much room for advancing unless the manager, super or someone in HR really liked you.

There were daily challenges that came out of no where every day. You had to be able to take the challenges and turn them into a positive. The Senior Management team was superior. My peers and subordinates were the best. The hardest part of the job was making sure we delivered all client and internal commitments on time, since we had so many all the – more... time.

The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to deliver the systems solutions to both internal and external clients. – less

I did enjoy working here. I learned a lot and was really treated fairly by the staff and upper management. It was a family atmosphere. They only hired and kept the best.

Scheduled over 100 daily prescription deliveries through in-bound calls

you need to be a certain person to be able to effectivley work this job and if you are you can reap the benefits. You need to be able to stay on task and be efficient as possible to be this person. Patience is the key because you are going to be dealing with a lot of angry people all day. That is not to say you deal only with these type of people but – more... I would say a majority of people are not happy to speak with you. They tell you there is room for advancement but in the four years I have worked here I have seen exactly two people get promotions and they only promotion they offer is to the dept manager. Apparently there is no other better sales job in the company besides this one. – less

Medco was a melting pot of very talented people. Being a workstation manager you are able to assist in resolutions through out the enterprise, learn new challenges daily.

I enjoyed working with the families. My typical day woule be to register patients, collect copayments, check insurance information, answering calls, copying and updating patient information. My coworkers were great and helpful. There was nothing really hard about the position. The most enjoyable part about my job was interacting with family and children.
