      Pros

      Decent pay Great benefits Abillity to relocate Ability to be promoted Flexible schedules available Good amount of time off work

      Cons

      Sometimes inept senior management Impotent HR - allows rank and file employees to get away with a lot Favoritism is rampant Low morale No real praise for hard work The people who can b.s. the most are the ones who go the farthest Authoritarian corporate structure Much wasted time on start-up projects that never come to fruition or come to fruition only doing a portion of what they're supposed to do Unstable network/network constantly crashes corrupting work

      After recent changes in management, authoritarian rule raises it's ugly head at a specialty company.

      Pros

      Good Health Insurance Good Options for Tuition Reimbursement "In the trenches" employees are pleasant to work with Some competent upper level managers

      Cons

      Raises are very small for non-management employees (1-3%). New senior management has resorted to intimidation and "nit-picking" tactics to try and motivate poor performers. This has caused a severe drop in morale, causing poor performers to do worse and good performers to seek new employment or contemplate looking elsewhere for employment. The extended family and teamwork atmosphere that existed prior to recent management changes is rapidly disappearing.

      Pros

      Centene had a very good base compensation schedule and is generous with stock options and a bonus plan. They invest in the newest technologies.

      Cons

      Very little focus on the management and leadership of its employees including senior executives. Each plan has had multiple Chiefs in the last couple of years. No coordination between the Corporate functions and the plans.
