Pros
The only pro that I can think of is that everyone I work with is in the same boat with the hope of one day jumping off that boat.
Cons
Centene buys up companies without understanding what made them attractive to buy and would rather muck everything up by installing their way of doing things. Tricare is different then all other health insurance yet they have completely ignored that fact and run it into the ground. They love to hire people at the very top for Tricare that have ZERO healthcare experience let alone Tricare experience. They love to use outside consultants that have ZERO Tricare and possibly healthcare experience. They have jettisoned countless people that we actually need and replaced them (or not) with cheaper, less experienced and to be frank, not qualified people. I honestly believe this company likes to complicate things rather then simplify in a well planned effort to never have to answer as to why things are done the way are done because everyone is trying to figure out how to fix things that Centene has broken all in the name of some weird attempt at progress. Everything, and I mean everything is wrapped in layer upon layer upon layer which creates constant confusion. The higher you climb the ladder, the more you will see just how inept at running a business this company is. That is a high level view but if you want to know about the little stuff- unless you are in California, your PTO will reset each year, pay not even close to being comparable to other companies, high cost for healthcare, ; dinosaur ideologies like no remote work ability, stringent dress code, and an utter lack of reward for hard work. Above a general contributor you have to break company policies to actually be able to do your job.
