Pros

Decent Pay/benefits Good opportunities if you are on the right team

Cons

If you are a racial minority prepare to be passed up for promotion Poor work life balance Constant turnover due to poor management They don't let go of toxic employees that have been poisoning the company for years They were supposed to provide a roadmap to allow folks to have career opportunities and failed to provide it let alone stick to it. They will continue to lose all of their good employees and don't appear to care as to why it keeps happening. They like to claim that they are all about diversity and inclusion but there is clearly a ceiling as to how far you can go. There is a reason that you will see not a see an African American in any high position at Centene's Information Technology department let alone in Cyber Security.

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.
