Pros
Multiple locations across the U.S. and expanding into new markets
Cons
Centene is too busy expanding to invest in their employees. Centene’s talent acquisition team employs deceitful tactics when working with potential employees/applicants. This includes promoting Centene as a corporation that cares about their employees, offers a flexible work schedule, a balanced work-family life and competitive bonuses. These promises were found to be lies. Centene’s policies are stuck in the past. They refuse to offer flexible work hours and demand an 8-5pm work schedule. Salaried employees are not treated as such and making schedule adjustments to meet the necessary needs of a family (ie medical appointments) are frowned upon. Bonuses are sparing and many excuses are provided by senior management as to why bonuses are not higher. Furthermore, Centene does not take the time to find qualified persons for their management teams. Managers are under qualified and extremely unprofessional. Incidents such as racial slurs directed toward team members, inappropriate personal comments from directors and threats to “write-up” entire teams were only a few of the disgusting behaviors seen by management while employed by Centene. Sadly, when reports were made to Human Resources little if anything was done. This is not an organization of integrity.
