Pros

New CEO desires to take company into current times, and they are attempting to be more transparent. Some employees are great people! Currently allows to be fully remote depending on your manager.

Cons

the old boys club ways are imbedded deep in the company’s structure. The only true goal of the company is to the stock and shareholders. The work towards the other goals, but employees always comes up short with benefits, compensation. They constantly understaff promising to hire more ppl. But then take take 2 years to staff the dept, or they do a reorganization. There is a big disconnect between saying your care about evoked and actually not improving the compensation.

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.
