Pros

The pay is decent and comparable to area hospitals

Cons

horrible training. Constantly being pulled off of regular work to put out fires. Managers are all buddies that have left Health Net and brought a top-down cliqueish culture with them. I have a masters degree and they asked me to answer phones....no thanks

Pros

Beautiful HQ in Clayton. Tons of Perks offered such as car wash on site, dry cleaning, clinic, etc. Decent benefits - besides the fact you work in Managing Medicaid HMO's and are in insurance industry - premiums could def. be better for such a large corporation.

Cons

If you are in any production position expect mandatory over time. As in Years of it. Upper Management does NOT have time for training; being available; etc. Expect managers to multi task, such as email, IM, Phone and constant co-workers walking in at all times. If you aren't one to agree and be willing to do all asked of you (regardless how you feel) - do not expect promotions. Can work all the overtime you want from home remotely but no options (often) to work from home otherwise. As example, there are many, MANY Jefferson County and Illinois workers for Centene that are hired on at HQ in Clayton - at any moment you maybe moved to Chesterfield which is much more of a hassle, and further commute for many coming in these two directions. 80% at one time of a department worked in Jefferson County as example. 80%! Lack of training in general. Much of the training (department wise) is insufficient.

Pros

Good health benefits if you participate in Healthy Pathway program Cafe is nice plus as an employee you get a discounted price as an employee.

Cons

I have been here less than 5 months and I am ready to leave. Many of my issues are the same ones others have already posted. Senior management acts as if you should be happy you have a job.
