Pros

-Pay and time off are really good in my experience -If you like to fly under the radar or blame poor processes and/or communication on lack of your work this might be the place for you unless you are a victim of a restructure

Cons

-Poor processes are rolled out with little initial/continued communication -Typically those poor processes are left in place and they just roll out another poor process to add to it -Waste a lot of time, energy and money because of these poor processes -Communication overall is poor -A lot of talking points around simplification but actions do not support those statements -A lot of micro management, pain around time keeping - they also tell you to partake in learnings/trainings but seems that is has to be on your own time because they don’t give you enough admin time to account for it -Wasted so much time, energy and money on critical (at the time) projects that weren’t thought through so therefore get dropped or deferred

Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.
