Pros

Money was good and people were kind when before one's face.

Cons

Everything aside from my pay was a nightmare most of the time. Now, I am no saint. This company is the epitome of why America is failing and is on national hospice entering 2023. Centene is a wolf masquerading as a caring shepherd for all: employees, shareholders, and least of all= those poor folks who have Centene in charge of their Medicaid/Medicare. To work here= suspend your own soul and prepare to deny others healthcare they need to please your boss (make monthly supervision go better). Who cares about 1...or even 10... enrollee(s) or beneficiaries of a healthpolicy? Nobody, except for Centene and how to squeeze every ounce of profit from that poor American neighbor. When some generation wakes up in America and makes PUBLIC all things people should NOT be motivated to profit off of (i.e. healthcare; prisons)? The way we look back in horror at slavery and working conditions in 1800s/early 1900s? That moral horror is EXACTLY how anyone with a conscience will view American healthcare/prisons from 1945-> present. Centene allows you to profit off the ME train until it consumes you.

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.
