Pros

Best part is you are left to do your work with minimal interruption from management. WFH is good. Pay could be better, but is at market. Excellent time off, if you can get the day approved vs everyone else on the teams they have now combined (so you are fighting for the same days off as others).

Cons

Productivity is difficult to achieve, as they continually change review processes, but do not allow you the time to actually adapt and LEARN the processes. Then when you get comfortable with a process, they change it. You are continually told not to cherry pick reviews from the queue but when I look in other team member's queues, they are cherry picking away, ALL the time. Sorry, if you aren't going to enforce the rules with everyone, then don't expect those of us who actually try to pull the oldest tasks from the queue not to be salty and sick of it. It is easy to see other's productivity (look at total tasks) and see that some people clearly shouldn't still have a job, yet they are skating by, month after month with sub par productivity. Why should those of us with high #s even try anymore? ESPECIALLY when bonuses have been taken away.

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.
