Pros

The veneer of Centene.. benefits, on site medical clinic, parking, low cost health insurance, expansive cafeteria are all wonderful perks. But they are not enough to remain at this company.

Cons

Let's start with hostile work environment and bullies! This company is ripe for a lawsuit "listen up HR" Why is Medical Management the last to approve choices when this company is health insurance? Medical Management is unethical. Centene does not follow the law for their UM and CM programs. States need to audit to discover these violations of law. Promotions occur for those who do not have enough knowledge but stay there due to this culture," it has always been done this way". No changes will occur. Those knowledgeable leave as soon as possible or are driven out by their managers who are threatened by knowledgeable employees.. I have watched a Director get promoted after she bullied managers and staff over and over, even when it was reported to HR. HR is does nothing but lip service, if that, and won't investigate any charges. Just because Centene can manage this population less expensively than the state doesn't give Centene the right to exploit the Medicaid population.

Pros

Promoted multiple times, only to be let down when the "right job" was available. 401k, stock options are okay. Too many good ole boys who only kiss upper managements butts to then be laid off.

Cons

Started out as what appeared to be an amazing place to work, but at an unbelievable low amount of pay. Their hiring from within process is only useful if you aren't trying for a manager or higher position. Work you to death, especially if your job involves traveling. You will travel double or higher the amount they tell you. ZERO comp days for all your time away from family, and weekends to "get you there on Monday by 8:00 AM", which is a failure to work life balance. Working from home is a no no because they'd rather see "butts in seats" Bonuses are a joke! Management is a joke! Hire outside the company to those who know nothing while passing up hard working inside staff who know the job inside and out! RUN AND FIND A DIFFERENT PLACE TO WORK!
