Pros

Able to work from home and pay was okay, then it goes downhill

Cons

Hired and told it was such a wonderful company (all lies) Training goes on for about a month where your bombarded with information that you couldn’t possibly hope to remember and will leave you overwhelmed. Told that you can just access the information later and you’ll be fine. You’ll have access to a group chat where they’ll help you. No. They just throw you out to the customers and say good luck, who by the way won’t be pleased with the fact you take a while to find what they need. It was super stressful and the equipment provided cuts off what people say so you have to ask customers to repeat a lot. Their system is horrible and had numerous problems which you have to report. You’ll be expected to complete calls in a short time. My advice don’t work here it’s just a lot of stress. It’s not worth it at all. Your recruiter will tell you how great it is but listen to your gut and say no thanks. Unless you enjoy call centers I wouldn’t recommend this position to anyone. I can assure you there high turn over rate. If I could I would’ve rated it lower.

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.
