Pros

Pay, Benefits, Vacation Time, Bonus

Cons

Centene will blind you with a good salary and benefits. Then try to flash a corporate culture for your first two weeks of on boarding. Job descriptions are not accurate. Many people not doing what they signed up for. Development jobs are being replaiced by Pega Contractors. Managers do not live up to their end of the deals and the CEO sends a completely different message than what the senior leadership does. During reorganization Michael Niedorf stated that he valued the employees that he had, and wanted to find other areas for them to work. He must not know that the senior leadership laid them off in favor of outsourcing work for a system (Pega) that is a poor solution to the efficiency of an in house built system. the managers have no care to the employees or contractors and bringing this up to directors falls on deaf ears. If you want to just collect a paycheck and not do a job that you love, then this is the place for you. If you want pay and job satisfaction, look elsewhere. Centene states that they want to be the IT hub of Saint Louis where everyone who has an IT background wants to work. The culture they show you and the culture that is actually there are two different things.

Pros

I have to use 5 words - so - Free Parking in Clayton MO.

Cons

There are too many to list... However, for anyone that started around 2012, please ask HR forthe copy of your DL, SSN, card etc. They lost them. When you leave, you sign a document that you won't sue them in order to get your severance pay...

Pros

My co-workers were an outstanding bunch of people. We are struggled together. We tried to assist each other as much as possible.

Cons

States on hire you have so many holidays, vacation time, but makes rules to where you have to fight against co-workers to use your time off. Cannot bank or roll over vacation pay, lost if not used. Management allows being treated like pions, encourages hostile working conditions.
