Pros

They're being taken away one by one

Cons

* Can't carry over vacation * Only 4 sick days per year * insurance options have just been gutted * Legacy Centene employees are always the ones to get undesirable changes when we acquire new companies - for instance, a 1.5% raise this year to put us "in line" with Wellcare employees * Legacy Centene employees are always the ones laid off * If you're not part of the in crowd, forget promotions * Will be required to go back to the office in person after working efficiently from home for almost 2 years * They will change your office without warning, forcing you to drive miles further than where you were hired to work *"Diversity and Inclusion" is only evident at the lowest pay grades

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.
