Pros

Pros: • A large, publicly traded company — though that’s about it.

Cons

Cons: • Inept Management: Both upper and lower management in the Bronx/Brooklyn area are ineffective and lack leadership. • Financial Instability: Stock price is at a 52-week low, with financial issues trickling down to cuts in member benefits (e.g., OTC cards and Medicare DSNP/MAPD plans). • Inferior Products: Plans are weaker than competitors like Healthfirst, VNS, and Elderplan. Seniors end up worse off with Centene’s offerings, and members frequently complain about poor customer service. • Employee Neglect: Sales employees are treated poorly. Despite being a billion-dollar company, the culture is dismissive and unsupportive. • Untrustworthy Practices: If you give a 2-week notice, they’ll try to “term” you early to avoid paying out. • Sales Struggles: Selling Centene’s Medicare Advantage plans means pushing an inferior product in a market with several far superior options. Worse, they pressure you to sell WellCare (a plan many doctors avoid because of payment issues) instead of Fidelis, simply because they want to push that brand.

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.
