Pros

You can gain experience to get a better job with a better company.

Cons

I pay over $500 a month for a family PPO, they do not offer a HMO. On top of that the pay is ridiculous, several people in management make less than their direct reports. Good hard work does not pay off for you at Centene they will only use and abuse you. TC was taken away. Approved PTO is being revoked and shift changes are being required with less than 24 hour notice. The new senior leadership is horrible and they do not care about taking care of their hard working employees. The Mayor of Sacramento should not be proud of bringing Centene to Sacramento, they have already broken numerous CA labor laws. It's only a matter of time before wage claims and law suits are filed. I would not recommend Centene for employment or as an insurance carrier.

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.
