As a whole, Centene is toxic. NurseWise is even worse.

Pros

Decent benefits and free parking in Clayton

Cons

Just to name a few: You will work long hours. No work/life balance. If you are called in on Christmas Eve, you better damn well show up. Not a job for anyone with a family. Managers adopt a "Hitler" like style and micro-manage everything you do. (Even though they have no idea about your job). Managers are inexperienced and a detriment to the employee's welfare and health.

Pros

Pay is decent and work environment is great. This company is growing, and they allow employees to move around to different departments to grow and develop their skills.

Cons

Processes change all the time and not always for the better and never well documented. Managers allow a few strong employees to carry the bulk of the workload.
