      Worst Company Ever! Poor Management, Rude, Not Family Friendly

      Pros

      There are no pro's to working for Centene! It was all good until they bought out my company and changed everything. All the good supervisors quit. Now I know why.

      Cons

      Centene bought out HealthNet and turned it upside down. Been working from home (hired to do so) for 3 years, now we're told with 2 weeks advance that we need to work in the office now. It's a 45 minute drive with traffic to the office and I have kids to get off to school in the morning. The managers are terrible and rude. They don't care about employees. Everything ran fine under Healthnet. They only let 1 person take vacation at a time from our team of about 20! With that policy, we are fighting each other over days and will never be able to get approved.

      Gross inefficiencies and lack of managerial talent. Specific to Ambetter.

      Pros

      The only pro to working at Ambetter is that you can negotiate a higher salary than that you can find elsewhere for the same level of position.

      Cons

      Managers across multiple levels have poor leadership skills and give no substantial direction for their teams. There are gross inefficiencies across multiple teams and promotions are given out for no reason. There is no automation and teams are created to do meaningless if any work at all. Multiple people recieve a salary to do absolutely nothing. Unless you're applying for an actuarial position, the work you do will probably sit in a folder.

      Lots of growing pains and disorganization

      Pros

      Pay, co-workers, professional physical environment. Great downtown office location. The mission of the organization is admirable.

      Cons

      Poor leadership. Top down, outdated hierarchical style of management that emphasizes punishment and fear as the primary motivator. Supervisors admit that the workload is impossible to keep up with while at the same time they hold most (except favorites) accountable to meet unachievable performance expectations that do not reflect good case management practices. Management blames line staff for their own failure to improve workflows that are vague and inconsistent. Team building consists mostly of junk food in the break room.
