      Constant Chaos

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Centene is a growing company with a mission that you can believe in "Better health outcomes at a lower cost". They care about their members and the communities in which those members reside.

      Cons

      There is so much growth in the business, but they are not growing the teams to support this new business. We try to put processes in place to manage this chaos, but there is just too much work and not enough people or hours. As a result, there ends up being a lot of escalations and constantly changing priorities causing an environment of constant chaos and people being spread way too thin. It would be different if you could see an end in sight, but that light at the end of the tunnel is really a train heading straight towards us.

      Corporate World - Fast Paced - Expect not much "home life"

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Beautiful HQ in Clayton. Tons of Perks offered such as car wash on site, dry cleaning, clinic, etc. Decent benefits - besides the fact you work in Managing Medicaid HMO's and are in insurance industry - premiums could def. be better for such a large corporation.

      Cons

      If you are in any production position expect mandatory over time. As in Years of it. Upper Management does NOT have time for training; being available; etc. Expect managers to multi task, such as email, IM, Phone and constant co-workers walking in at all times. If you aren't one to agree and be willing to do all asked of you (regardless how you feel) - do not expect promotions. Can work all the overtime you want from home remotely but no options (often) to work from home otherwise. As example, there are many, MANY Jefferson County and Illinois workers for Centene that are hired on at HQ in Clayton - at any moment you maybe moved to Chesterfield which is much more of a hassle, and further commute for many coming in these two directions. 80% at one time of a department worked in Jefferson County as example. 80%! Lack of training in general. Much of the training (department wise) is insufficient.
