Pros

People are nice, learn a lot.

Cons

Work demand are unreasonable, little work/life balance. They come first & that goes without saying as there is no way to finish the amount of work in a regular day. However, this does mean more job security. Benefits keep changing for the worse. I was told this was told the employee are really valued & appreciated & I don't see that coming across at all. They speak of someday it will get better...

Pros

Health/Dental/Vision, On-Site healthcare, Nice Cafe

Cons

Stressful environment: noisy, glass cube walls, somewhat chaotic. I will probably only be here a short time. I wouldnt consider Centene to be a place where you would have a long time "career". From what I have seen so far there doesnt seem to be many long time employee's left.
