Pros

Great health benefits, Great co-workers, great vacation time (you will need it b/c you earned it), pro/con: option for overtime

Cons

Growing too fast that the management is losing touch with its original plan. Sadly Centene has become what it did not want to be and that is, just another corporation. Remember this quote: "Underpromise and overdeliever." Its not happening, it cant because every contract is signed no matter if the contract can be fulfilled (underdelievered) Quality is sacrificed for numbers and in an effort to remedy this it has turned into more work with less time to complete the calls, call attempts, documentation, and also have a chance to go to the bathroom or even eat. Managers are all very young and inexperienced most this is their first management career. This is a recent development.

Pros

Growth means more open positions and the capacity for lateral and upward movement. Managed Medicaid is needed by the States and with the implementation of health exchanges even more growth is probable. The company invests in IT.

Cons

Overwork is the norm. Work life balance is poor. Management can typically focus on the new business and by default not on the current customers. Documentation of work processes and information sharing is poor. There simply is not the time to do this. Growth is outpacing the capacity of staff to do quality work, and management does not seem to have any accountability to find solutions that give employees the training, tools and bandwidth to succeed. Contracts are signed regardless of the capacity for the company to succeed at growing the business effectively. The management style is very top down, and blame is more the norm than is helpful.
