Pros

Benefits like 401K match up to 6%, Off most holidays, commissions every 3 months well almost since the transition to Centent Corp., 9-5 hour job, 1hr lunch, flexible schedule when needed, In a good neighborhood "Rego Park", great work space well where I am located "Welcome Center". 5 sick days 18 Vacation days, your able to Flex a day to work on Sat.

Cons

No overtime ; they are stingy, Upper Management are ignorant; they keep implementing new rules and workflows but does not make sense, they have no idea what we actually do, upper managment do not have realistic goals, it is all about numbers forget about helping people, micromanaging even when you take over 20 min daily break to take a poop, they want to monitor even when you burp, There phone system of aux codes are dumb. They protect people they like even when it's a misogynistic little jerk who smells like dirty old man underwear, smokes like a chimney, and walks like the hunchback of Notre dame, they protect their leadership team even when it is against the labor laws on such discriminating treatment of workers.

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.
