Pros

Work remotely. Slightly above average salary and benefits

Cons

Most calls are from angry customers who have called multiple times with the same problem and still no resolution. But it's impossible to solve complex problems about issues such as medical claims, pharmacy claims, etc in the 800 seconds allotted to each call. Centene's system rewards reps who do a poor job but do it quickly.If you take the time to analyze the problem and actually get it solved you'll get poor performance reviews. Take your quality customer service skills elsewhere. Toxic leadership structure.

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.
