Pros

Interview with senior leadership in Missouri was phenomenal. The position 100% matched my background and expertise and I was excited to continue on a path towards being an employee with Centene

Cons

After a phenomenal interview I was SHOCKED to find out that Centene does not allow their employees to work from home or telecommute. In a managed care setting, we have to be able to focus on our individual tasks and an office setting is extremely counterproductive in making sure that what we have to do for state contractural requirements every month and quarter is done timely and effectively. I was disappointed that they didn’t realize I lived over 3 1/2 hours away from the their office site and never asked me if I wished to relocate.

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.
