Pros

Above average compensation, great opportunities throughout the enterprise, convenient locations, nice facilities and decent benefits.

Cons

Those with positional leadership roles do not take accountability for their departments. Instead they ignore issues until there is a major financial implication or a potentially high profile complaint surfaces. At that moment, they expect front-line members to drop everything, work extended hours and often spend most of their day on phone calls. They will often deflect responsibility to other departments or the front-line members creating an image that their direct reports are not competent. There are also, "clicks" in which leaders utilize the talent of only their preferred direct reports and will push them to higher opportunities. They also, utilize the talents of individuals and then pretends as if they did not contribute and then hands that person's efforts to their preferred team member, who was not skilled in the tasks. This is not he-say she-say, this is direct first hand experience.

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.
