Pros

Pay is above average compared to the market. Centene is a very successful company and you can tell the middle management cares about their employees. The coworkers are all very caring and fun to work with.

Cons

The worklife balance compared to the pay is incredibly poor. The pay is good for a 40 hour week not a 50-60 hour week for 6-7 months of the year. Pay increases excluding promotions need to be higher for the work ethic required to work at Centene!
