Pros

The pay is good, and the family health insurance plan offered is affordable. Opportunity to work in the field a couple days each week.

Cons

Work 60-70 hours/week so Health and family take their toll. It's a highly stressful environment due to the numerous process changes that don't make sense. Upper management is far removed from what is actually going on, and suggestions for improvement are ignored. The training department is also far removed from the realities of the job, which equates to 5 weeks of unproductive training, and new staff left without a clue. Due to the employees being overworked, highly stressed, unappreciated, and in close quarters, 3 or 4 sick days are easily used up due to stress related illness and burnout. This company lacks effective communication. Important information many times does not make it to the level of the supervisors and staff.

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.
