Pros

What I like best about working at this company are the people. My coworkers are good people who have in common a sincere desire to help others in need. We do more that what is required to help or members and providers.

Cons

Management has begun to focus more on profit and less on quality of service. Starting this year employees are asked to do more for the same pay. Bonuses are based on the company's (Centene Corp.) performance as a whole where non management contribution is not considered. So, if the company makes a bad investment or decision that negatively impacts the company's financial performance, bonuses are not paid out to anyone. I don't like the fact that employee contribution isn't a factor in awarding bonuses. Another con is that this company's computer network is extremely unreliability. You would think that a fortune 500 company would ensure a stable infrastructure.

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.
