Pros

You will make friends for life bonding over a shared experience of trauma.

Cons

The mindset of this company is do first plan later. Leadership never thinks about the end goal but will be rushing you to proceed without providing any guidance on what is needed. This creates a situation where you will constantly be redoing the same project. Turnover is between 25 and 30 percent across the organization and the average employee tenure is around 1 year. Leadership has said on multiple occasions that anyone who leaves the organization is not mentally strong enough to cut it here. On the rare occasions you hear from leadership it will be so they can tell you how much better and smarter they are than you. The amount of money spent on redoing the same project or spent churning out hires is in the billions. The Centene business model is not sustainable and will require serious changes for this company to make it to 2030. But hey, stock price is up so as far as leadership is concerned there are no problems. Don't be one of the 10,000 people who leave every year. Save yourself the heartache. I wish I would have.

Pros

Pay-its high because of the rediculous level of turnover-thats about the only pro.

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked. You are treated like you are in middle school. Dont take more than 5 minutes in the bathroom or you will get hunted down. Lots of angry women yelling at anyone in their presence. If you are of a certian demographic you WILL be bullied and harrassed. Basically you make cold calls to disconnected numbers all day and get yelled at while doing it. I have never worked somewhere with such a high rate of turnover. I cant wait to quit this job.

Pros

You can gain experience to get a better job with a better company.

Cons

I pay over $500 a month for a family PPO, they do not offer a HMO. On top of that the pay is ridiculous, several people in management make less than their direct reports. Good hard work does not pay off for you at Centene they will only use and abuse you. TC was taken away. Approved PTO is being revoked and shift changes are being required with less than 24 hour notice. The new senior leadership is horrible and they do not care about taking care of their hard working employees. The Mayor of Sacramento should not be proud of bringing Centene to Sacramento, they have already broken numerous CA labor laws. It's only a matter of time before wage claims and law suits are filed. I would not recommend Centene for employment or as an insurance carrier.
