Management styles vary widely among the different companies under the corporate umbrella of Centene so it is hard to coordinate marketing campaigns company wide.

Pros

This review is for the Nurtur subsidiary in Dallas. My co-workers are great. The atmosphere and workplace is great.

Cons

No standard processes. No development/test environment. The database called "B-I" is a free-for-all, with people developing directly in the system being used by the users. This DB was designed by someone who had no idea what a true BI system is. The code is replete with cursors, dynamic SQL. Applications keep being developed in access (by this mgr) and then must be supported by IT.
