Pros

- The company is trying to help some of America's most needy people - Recent shift to more flexible working conditions (e.g. work from home) is a big plus - Pay is pretty decent compared to other companies

Cons

- Too many people with competing agendas and little interest in collaborating - "One CenTeam" is a pipe dream at this point. - Lack of organization and clarity on priorities at varying levels - Bad "leaders" (at all levels) are left in place for too long. - Too many people are not pleasant to work with and negatively impacting others. Unfortunately, this seems to be getting worse, when many were hoping it would get better with a new CEO.

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.
