Pros

It's a paycheck. Not worth the damage to your physical and mental health.

Cons

A horrible "production" environment that will leave you depressed and miserable. Management from the top down are bullies and promote only their relatives and favorite ass-kissers. A lot of reviewers mention the "great benefits". What they leave out is that the benefits are shrinking every single year and you'll spend all of your sick and vacation paid time off going to the doctor to try and get help coping with the physical manifestations of the stress of working for Centene. A completely toxic work environment.

Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are awesome. Healthcare business is a good industry with stability. Overall, work atmosphere is good. They do some nice things too like a thanksgiving lunch and christmas lunch.

Cons

Sometimes management is too quick to make decisions without really thinking about the long-term effect. Tend to make decisions based on what's right in front of them versus what's down the road.
