Pros

Working from home and the nicest co-workers who are always willing to help. Good benefit package but forget taking the time off promised when hired.

Cons

Poor management and terrible work/life balance. Expected to work unlimited overtime 6 days per week without any additional compensation. High employee turnover. People are so over tasked and overwhelmed they just walk out. My friends have all found better paying jobs for an hourly wage elsewhere. The pay is terrible if you count the hours worked. This is basically a sweat shop for RNs. Training was terrible. We were clueless and managers even more clueless so we had the pressure of being unprepared and having to figure it out on our own. Extremely stressful work environment.

Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.
