Pros

The pros of this company are the health insurance and CEO at our local office are great and we get weekends off!

Cons

The cons to this company are that there is no room for advancement and if you try and advance out of the call center, some supervisors are a hindrance because they dont want to lose people off of their team. No one wants to work in the call center for years and it's unfair when they have qualified applicants in the call center, yet they want us to refer people to the company. The call center is the least paid dept with the most rules and regulations! You're a valued employee until you want to get out of that dept and then you get railroaded until you are forced to look for other jobs outside of the company. Also, this company will pay you less if you have a degree in this dept. This job was supposed to be a foot in the door kind of job, but now it has become a dreaded part of my life and I am actively seeking other employment.

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.
