Pros

Centene ( Illinicare) has great benefits, pay and work life balance. Co-workers are great and always willing to help out when asked. Location is convenient with two office locations (Westmont and downtown Chicago). The work for the most part is easy and the membership is great.

Cons

Some of the worst management, HR and upper level management I have ever worked for. Upper management makes decisions based off a spreadsheet not know how it really effects staff or members on the plan. Managers are hired with little to no management or people skills. And the ever changing processes on how to properly perform your job only to be audited on it from 3 months ago when the new process was not in affect.

Pros

You are not micro managed. Benefits are cheap and good. You get sick time and paid time off.

Cons

Very unorganized. System issues all the time metric is NOT tried and true. Lots of room for improvement no polices and procedures people make things up as they go along.

Pros

Pay is above a lot of other companies in the area.

Cons

Company culture is bleak The top executives do not care about employees - they make decisions that negatively affect us without batting an eye The insurance, while affordable, is a crap company with crap providers There is ZERO work-life balance, no work from home, barely any sick time There is no maternity leave! We have to use disability. It is only like 4 weeks. After using any and all sick and vacation time - I will have to leave the company before ever planning a family, it's not doable here If you ask about this they tell you they're in -line with industry standards, that's BS...I came from a company with 16 weeks maternity leave that is not as highly ranked on Forbes Fortune 500 as here. If "industry standards" are horrible than you are a horrible company for not adjusting for your employees. You can't claim to be a caring company if you don't show it internally first.
