Pros

Compensation is about the best thing going for them.

Cons

You will help others with your knowledge and they will promote those you help instead of you! They will lie to you and tell you that you will get a promotion but then you will receive a slap in the face when someone that is always confused gets the promotion you were supposed to! You get no credit and you will get nowhere unless you are in the special little group of people they like. There are also people the management will listen to but they will mean you no good. There are so many liars and deceitful people that work there. Some of the QIS will make trouble for you when they realize you may know more than they do! If you do decide to work here…don’t do anything extra! Someone who doesn’t do a quarter of what you do will be promoted right in your face. It happened to me so I know it happens. Just go on to a company that will appreciate you and treat you as such an appreciated employee.

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.
