Great if you don't care about quality work

Pros

Great campus, great location, reasonable pay and benefits. Looks awesome from the outside.

Cons

Chaotic mess of conflicting agendas, absent management, lack of planning, constant fire drills to keep "important" people happy. Whenever you call out inefficiencies, they just shrug and say it is "The Centene Way". As much as they are acquiring, the profitability can't stay forever. When the pendulum swings it will be ugly.

Pros

Opportunity to learn about health coaching & working with professionals in your field of expertise.

Cons

Long hours with minimal breaks. Micromanaged with by unqualified managers & management. No opportunity for growth & development of profession. Poor communication resulting in Important pieces of information not being shared with the team to tightly control the actions of the team by its leader and result in a situation that is the polar opposite of teamwork. Within that time I was employed a new person came in as my counter part with less education than I and got promoted 3 times based on favoritism, young, friends with management.

Pros

There were some very smart, kind individuals who worked there.

Cons

It was the most unorganized, chaotic corporate environment I have ever worked in. Management was awful, almost abusive at times. Leadership by fear was common.
