Pros

Pay, co-workers, professional physical environment. Great downtown office location. The mission of the organization is admirable.

Cons

Poor leadership. Top down, outdated hierarchical style of management that emphasizes punishment and fear as the primary motivator. Supervisors admit that the workload is impossible to keep up with while at the same time they hold most (except favorites) accountable to meet unachievable performance expectations that do not reflect good case management practices. Management blames line staff for their own failure to improve workflows that are vague and inconsistent. Team building consists mostly of junk food in the break room.

Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.
