Pros

The veneer of Centene.. benefits, on site medical clinic, parking, low cost health insurance, expansive cafeteria are all wonderful perks. But they are not enough to remain at this company.

Cons

Let's start with hostile work environment and bullies! This company is ripe for a lawsuit "listen up HR" Why is Medical Management the last to approve choices when this company is health insurance? Medical Management is unethical. Centene does not follow the law for their UM and CM programs. States need to audit to discover these violations of law. Promotions occur for those who do not have enough knowledge but stay there due to this culture," it has always been done this way". No changes will occur. Those knowledgeable leave as soon as possible or are driven out by their managers who are threatened by knowledgeable employees.. I have watched a Director get promoted after she bullied managers and staff over and over, even when it was reported to HR. HR is does nothing but lip service, if that, and won't investigate any charges. Just because Centene can manage this population less expensively than the state doesn't give Centene the right to exploit the Medicaid population.

Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.
