Pros

Vacation time Pay Flexibilty in work times and when vacation times. My manager is very nice Benefits are pretty good

Cons

A lot of favoritism. The ones who do all the work are overlooked while the "bullies and backstabbers' are the ones who are promoted.

Pros

Good salary, good health benefits, preventative wellness program, healthy inexpensive cafeteria food, nurse on-site, opportunities to win tickets to sporting events (employee pays a $15 fee for baseball games at the Co. suite) and concerts, including the Fox theater

Cons

Sometimes managers with "get it done at all costs" attitudes and who have poor people/line management skills are promoted very quickly; there is also a lot of "good ole boy" favoritism; the work/deliverables is daunting---the overlap of projects can be overwhelming. Training is a "ask for it and you might be approved basis" else it's up to the employee to figure outtheir career path and request and obtain training, while still maintaining their exisiting job. If there is an HR issue brought to the attention of some managers, they will discipline the person bringing the issue to the attention of management. Do your job, get it done, "d--- the torpedos, full steam ahead!"

Pros

Good Medical Benefits Good PTO Benefits Good Education Reimbursement plan

Cons

With the current managment team in place & promotions of folks with the "smile up & kick down" attitude, San Antonio Centene lacks a trustworthy, teamwork atmosphere. It's us against them mentality, individual agendas. It is unfortunate because, the parent company has a great philosophy. Managers & Directors with no managed care experience let alone, management experience.Promotions of folks that can barely function in their lower level positions and are not team oriented but smile at the boss. Overlooking current employees with team work attitudes & excellent backgrouds. Long, long hours, immpossible deadlines, poorly thought out & implemented processes, hostile work enviroment. No professional confidentiality. Retaliation is the norm & keeps good employees from sharing with HR.
