Pros

The only good thing left is the benefits. All other benefits have been slowly taken away.

Cons

Sneaky, disrespectful managers with selective memory. They tell you one thing one day and deny ever saying it the next. God forbid you have any criticism the only thing this gets you is a bullseye on your back. Upper management has taken every perk away from the employees only to turn around and give themselves bonuses raises and unlimited days off. The workload is unachievable no matter how many hours you work. When the company does well on an audit the managers will take the credit. If they are bad the lowest employees are to blame. I would say only take a job here if it is your last resort.

Pros

Ability to learn about managed care, nice state selection of health plan locations, employee benefits are good, technology is slowly improving; an opportunity exists to overhaul the organization and place employees in positions that best match their experience and skill sets, an opportunity for standardization across plans exists in certain areas of business operations

Cons

Lack of growth, favoritism, values & integrity not enforced, operational deficiencies, employees in jobs that are not a fit based on skill set and experience, inconsistent policies across plans; claim processing operation could use a complete overhaul, to include some standardization with policy and processing

Pros

Great health benefits, Great co-workers, great vacation time (you will need it b/c you earned it), pro/con: option for overtime

Cons

Growing too fast that the management is losing touch with its original plan. Sadly Centene has become what it did not want to be and that is, just another corporation. Remember this quote: "Underpromise and overdeliever." Its not happening, it cant because every contract is signed no matter if the contract can be fulfilled (underdelievered) Quality is sacrificed for numbers and in an effort to remedy this it has turned into more work with less time to complete the calls, call attempts, documentation, and also have a chance to go to the bathroom or even eat. Managers are all very young and inexperienced most this is their first management career. This is a recent development.
