Pros

nice offices, good co workers, fair pay

Cons

No one managing the plan actually lives in Pennsylvania or knows anything about the state. The senior management has had almost 100% turnover with no communication or explanation to the employees. All employee meetings used to be held and never happen anymore, The whole plan is run by two guys, one who lives in florida and one who lives in tennessee and just drop by the office on occasion. but god forbid you want to work remotely for a day--not ok for you, just for them. the call center PC team has dozens of privacy violations that don't get addressed. that management blows off the compliance team publicly on calls. the whole thing is a joke. Membership started out strong and keeps declining. no word on when the rest of the contracts that were promised will come through.no one talks to the employees so no one knows what's going on.

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.
