Unfit Managers and Directors ruining the experience at Centene
Pros
The Clayton office is beautiful. Very modern and clean. Best part of the building is the cafe, great employees and food. Co-workers are great, they actually turn into you family as time goes on. Some of the VP's I had the pleasure of meeting are WONDERFUL. They are down to earth, smart and really know how to treat there staff. It really depends what department you work for, some are good and some are just down right terrible.
Cons
I unfortunately accepted a job in a new department with no leadership. The person heading the department did not have the knowledge to be running the department in the first place. I have no idea how this person was hired. Many people on the floor stated that "he/she knows how to talk, that's it." And truly, after several months on the job, this is the only thing the director of my department did: talk. No work, but just talking to co-workers and her/his best friends on the floor. To make things worse, this director hired the most incompetent, degrading, racist manager ever. Many people who worked with this individual complained but our director was too busy with his/her own personal life, they did not want to get involved. The manager was truly evil/unethical to all in person and even on the phone people did not want to deal with him/her. After our department went to HR about his/her racist and sexist remarks, nothing was done. The department that was created is truly a waste of money. I wish I realized what I was getting into before accepting the offer. But I'm glad I moved.
