Not what I expected

Pros

You can select your work schedule you think your going to work. Competitive pay

Cons

1. Mandatory overtime. Expect to work 45/50+ weekly 2. Kiss them days goodbye if you are family oriented...0 work life balance. You accumulate vacation time only to loose it end of year because you didn't make the cut for PTO approval. 3. Unorganized management system and lack of communication 4. Inneroffice gossip, just plug in and you'll be fine 5. Although the job function can be performed remotely, WFH is not an option

Pros

- Hours - PTO - Pay (if you negotiate appropriately) - Schedule - No accountability, you can suck at your job and it not matter. Only way you are getting let go is if they downsize an area.

Cons

- Human Resources is awful - Promotion system is complete trash. You promote one level at a time, which is fine. But if your next level is Manager and you haven't demonstrated leadership skills you should not be promoted to manager. - Growing so fast they don't have time to do things right. Just get it done and we will fix it later - Managers & supervisors are never available, most are not good leaders to begin with. - Odd hiring practices. I have seen highly qualified people turned away and low level gas station cashiers hired. - Managers and supervisors run in "clicks". You have a better chance of doing well if you are a butt kisser than a steady top performer. - Main concern is climbing the Forbes list - CEO lies or plays dumb during Q & A portion of all employee meetings - technology is way past its expiration date

Pros

Enjoy churning data to inflate outreach statistics Enjoy earning accrued PTO while being forbidden to use it (for business priorities) (Oh, yes, and no option for a payout upon resignation.) Love to be ridiculed and monitored for exceeding production expectations Can't live without a supervisor at your neck in the few moments he/she is not hibernating behind a closed door. Like having your resume added to the round file because your current employer is Centene Love to work a schedule similar to a burger flipper with an 8th grade schedule. Revel in having every moment (including bathroom breaks) recorded and monitored. Like asking to go potty...send them an application! They can make it happen for you. enjoy being broke with no future growth on the horizon...Centene is the best!! (But, they are great at making promises.)

Cons

There are no cons if you fit the profile in the pros field.
