Horrible experience

Pros

Paychecks, insurance and days off.

Cons

Management is a joke. People are promoted and hired by who they know not what they know. Managers gossip about their employees openly and love to brow beat them. Everything you do is monitored, even the conference rooms. Sterile, uptight, reactive environment. Do not work here, you will be sorry.

Pros

Centene offers a good salary and potential bonuses. I would only recommend Centene to individuals who want to get experience and who have no outside of work commitments.

Cons

Centene grew so fast it couldn't support existing business. As an IT Manager we were constantly shifting staff between new business and putting it continuous fires with existing business. We were forced to make staff work 80 hours a week, nights, weekends...whatever it took. Everyday I came into a dozen new problems that cropped up overnight. Centene is NOT the place to work if you have a family and want to keep it. In addition, the stress of the environment literally made me physically sick. I ended up in the doctors office for high stress and exhaustion. It took me months to get back to normal after leaving Centene. In hindsight, I should have paid attention to similar reviews for working at Centene. I let the high salary persuade me. No salary is worth selling your soul and sacrificing your health.
