Pros

Experience and opportunity to learn Workday

Cons

Management was not the definition of what a manager should portray. The work environment was very childish and unprofessional. Do not work there if you are somehow disabled (they tend to laugh at you behind your back), and if you're from a different culture, they will give you a dirty look. Leadership was a joke, and managers only cared about their favorite people. All they cared about were metrics and numbers. They were careless about how the employees adjust or feel. The employees' opinions were worthless. The workplace culture was "never say anything to anyone" or ”never complain to anyone,” as the accusation will be taken out of context and reported to HR. HR never takes your side. The employees were encouraged to tattle on one another to HR. I left because I didn't particularly appreciate how I was treated by my manager and felt her attitude towards me gave me no job security. My manager was a bully.

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.
