Pros

Centene ( Illinicare) has great benefits, pay and work life balance. Co-workers are great and always willing to help out when asked. Location is convenient with two office locations (Westmont and downtown Chicago). The work for the most part is easy and the membership is great.

Cons

Some of the worst management, HR and upper level management I have ever worked for. Upper management makes decisions based off a spreadsheet not know how it really effects staff or members on the plan. Managers are hired with little to no management or people skills. And the ever changing processes on how to properly perform your job only to be audited on it from 3 months ago when the new process was not in affect.
