Pros

I have worked for Centene as a pharmacist for 5 months now and I am still waiting for the "catch". The leadership has been warm and accessible with a glaring absence of drama or micromanagement. The work/life balance has been spookily relaxing, similar to what I imagine life being like working in the Nordic countries; I work 9-6 M-F at home in my jammies. My colleagues are smart and kind and helpful. And more importantly than anything... the WORK is fulfilling. Centene genuinely cares about transforming the health of the community, one person at a time, and so do I. Compensation is honorable. Benefits are ample. Time off is generous. 10/10. A++

Cons

None that I can think of.

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.
