Should take better care for Employees

Pros

Good leadership and opportunities to grow within the company. However the Employee need to have that self-determination to take the leap. Centene recently developed good benefits like the paid parental leave, though very late in the corporate world among other pro-employee companies in Healthcare.

Cons

There is more room to grow for HR in employee retention. The Company is more focused for having appetite on big acquisitions, whereas contributing to Employee 401(k) savings to vesting 100% only when reached 5 year tenure, which is absurd. No Work/Life balance.

Pros

Benefits, 401K savings plan, food nearby.

Cons

Failure to promote from within with obvious credentials, Will ask you to do projects and as soon as they're successful will dump you off them, No holiday benefits for anyone except Day shift, internal department policies dont match HR policies. Not enough parking spaces for employees. If you think you're getting promoted here, just wait. Someone way less qualified will get the job.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay was decent. Free food.

Cons

The work environment was terrible, management and your other coworkers would not help you learn and treat you terribly if you had any questions. Expected you to learn everything yourself in less than 2 weeks, management changes there minds on standards every day. benefits are sub-par. Only good thing is the pay, and really for everything you do and are put through and how you're treated it should still be more.
