Pros

Benefits are okay...although most companies are more "up and coming" with their benefits. There are some good people left; although most are being "run off" by the leadership.

Cons

Leadership follows a very disciplinarian style. Threatens employees of disciplinary action to motivate instead of leading with respect. Very old, authoritative leadership style from the 80's is seen across all levels. Many leaders have very unrealistic expectations of their employees and are expected to work 60-70 hour work weeks. There is no work-life balance...nor is it encouraged.

Pros

Centene had a very good base compensation schedule and is generous with stock options and a bonus plan. They invest in the newest technologies.

Cons

Very little focus on the management and leadership of its employees including senior executives. Each plan has had multiple Chiefs in the last couple of years. No coordination between the Corporate functions and the plans.
