Centene reviews

The above two stars are GENEROUS and ONLY given because the benefits are that good!!! STAY AWAY!!! Management is OPENLY hostile and rules via intimidation and fear!! ADULT PROFESSIONALS are treated like CHILDREN with SCREAMING and PETTY RETALIATION!!! PUBLIC humiliation is used to bring employees in line and personal productivity numbers are publically posted so those with lower numbers will have their efforts and reputation trashed. Writing employees up for returning one minute late from break is a waste of everyone's time!! Nepotism is RAMPANT and the more incompetent a manager the higher they are promoted to get them away from people! If you're in the inner circle you can do no wrong!!! Unethical behavior including federal violations among management all the way to the top is commonplace and when it's reported the whistleblower WILL be shown the door!!!! Integrity is PREACHED but again NEVER ENFORCED!!!! There are NO promotional opportunities for most departments and while life balance is preached it is never practiced. It's so sad that a group of very talented employees is treated so unprofessionally. Turnover in my subsidiary was 71% two years ago. Magically those numbers were "massaged" to 22%. The employees I worked with were AWESOME and TRULY talented professionals. It's beyond pathetic they're leaving in droves! I left after 10 years. I'd still be there because I loved what I did and who I worked with but ultimately had to get out when I got a headache and felt nauseated every Sunday night at the thought of walking in the door Monday morning. It was an AMAZING company when I started 10 years ago. It's so sad as I was truly passionate about how we helped our clients and patients. I still am and would go back if management improved. What a waste!!!

I was hired because I had the knowledge and back ground as a nurse to assist their members,educate them on disease process, and preventative services. Hiring professional licensed RN's to preform these duties, this was going to make a difference in the member's lives. They claim to be all about the members and verbalize this information in your interview. Well in my interview at least, I specifically ask them if I would be able to actually case manage the members. Yes, they said that is why we are hiring only talented knowledgeable nurses. It saddens me to say that was all a lie. This is corporate america they have no idea what actually caring for people means, nor do they care. The managers are appalled by questions because they have no clue what the answers are. They spend most days behind doors in meetings and if you have a question DO NOT ASK..... The training is unorganized and done as quickly as possible. If you do ask a question management will swear they have already given you all you need to be successful. This is a call center. The goal is to contact as many people as you can, engage them in case management, and then call to say hello once every 1-3 weeks. Nothing more nothing less. Just meet state requirements. I was excited about the changes the Health Care Reform was designed to bring, but nothing has changed. The Medicaid/Medicare dollars under served, privileged, and the elderly Americans need, still continues to line the pockets of others. I am true nurse at heart. I armed myself with knowledge and resources , so I could share it with my members/patients in hopes of educating them on how to achieve a better quality of life . I hope by sharing my knowledge, care, and compassion to others,if only small or one person at a time, I can make a difference in someone's live. ITS QUALITY NOT QUANTITY........JUST SO YOU KNOW ........I am not angry just thought any nurses who are looking to actually be a nurse, this may save you some time.
