Pros

Very large company, so it is easy to find yourself surrounded with some pretty talented people. There are some really hard-working people at the company who really try to make a difference at the state level.

Cons

Senior leadership is very out of touch. The company also promotes unqualified people to management, leaving employees puzzled as to why this is. Annual reviews tend to be a process where employees are attacked for perceived shortcomings that were never addressed throughout the year. This appears to be a tactic to avoid giving a pay increase.

Pros

-Good pay -Good benefits -Overall decent management -Great company culture. There's a "champion team" that really tries to do cool events and keep employees engaged. -Diverse work environment

Cons

-Lack of organization (sometimes people just seem lost. From management and down) -Terrible project management. No forecast of work demand whatsoever, so thursday or friday you'll be told that there is an urgent need for saturday work -LONG hours during open enrollment (but you can't be mad at that, they tell you up front) -Ignorance of internal talent. Always hiring management externally -Kind of a lateral playing field. No clear options for advancement or growth -Zero percent professional development. Long orientation and then you are thrown in to learn as you go and these are people's ACTUAL HEALTHCARE FILES THAT WE ARE HANDLING. that is frightening. -Numbers driven. Emphasis on processing a certain amount of files. They are moving towards measuring quality. But it hasn't quite gotten there. You can fly by if you meet "tracker" numbers. MAY get audited. Scary scenario as well when talking about people's ability to access health care.

Pros

Salary & Benefits; Paid well only to keep employees from quitting

Cons

HealthNet Merger has ruined company morale; constant chaos; no clear direction; unrealistic deadlines for merger of applications & teams. If offered a job at Centene DO NOT ACCEPT IT. If you need a job, plan on staying for a year or less.
