Pros
There's plenty of work to do in a company this size. If you like to build and develop people and systems, this is a great opportunity. If you like to support customers directly and make a huge difference for them, this is a great opportunity.
Cons
If you're looking for a typical job where you can do average work and get by, this isn't the place.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
flexibility, health related, growth opportunities, good culture
Cons
Unstable due to many mergers
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
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.

Pros
Can negotiate rates upon hiring , great health Insurance plans, lots of opportunity to move around, all benefits/deductions, are exempt status are handled electronically. If your supervisor likes you, chances are you will succeed
Cons
Low balled upon hiring, micro-management in some departments, 30 min lunches in some departments, supervisors can block department transfers at free will, supervisors can fire and harass employees and HR does not help, hiring process from job fairs can be disorganized. Hours can change including weekends with no notice or objection (even if those aren’t the hours agreed upon per hiring), Sr Leadership/Mgmt walk around like everyone else is beneath them. Not fans of work from home prior to covid.

Pros
This is a large national company that is growing. There are many opportunities for career growth. This company encourages continued learning and growth and offers Centene University which includes free access to LinkedIn Learning. Pay and benefits are good. The pay and benefits are good.
Cons
While employees nationwide have been working from home during the pandemic, it is not the typical policy of this company to allow employees to work remote. The dress code is business casual to formal. Jeans and sneakers may be worn as a reward. If your spouse has health benefits through their own employer, they will not be covered as a spouse under your policy. You will have to provide proof that they do not have other coverage.

Pros
Never boring Fantastic teammates Willing to pay for training Does a lot for community Job with a good mission Growing fast Crucible to hone talent/get job experience to prepare for your final career stop
Cons
Product over people Leadership sets deadlines Psychological safety only in small pockets Very little incentive/rewards Surprising little opportunity to move around. Most positions are opened with someone in mind or leadership reorgs to fill. Only know how to put out fires, not prevent them. Very chaotic and fast paced. Very little trust and a lot of micro management Seem to struggle with planning. Nearly ever project in my large area over the last 7 years has only been successful through the heroics and generosity of the amazing employees to donate their personal time to meet commitments that their leadership made without consulting the . Repeatedly told the most important thing in our org is to hit our dates. Very little diversity of thought. Senior leaders hire people who have their worldview of leadership. People who voice different views of leadership or give feedback about the impact of the current style are marginalized and in some cases have been shuffled out There are frequent cycles of low employee engagement and lots of talented people leaving. Do not seem to understand how expensive and inefficient their current leadership style is.

Pros
-You can listen to your headphones while processing claims. -You get major Holiday's off
Cons
-Micro Managed. -Unorganized. -Mandatory OT on occasion, Including Saturday's from 8am-noon -No proper communication with analyst on job function. -With consistent changes within the company, no one relays that to the analyst who are actually doing the work. -Rushed floor training (you will learn new claims when on the floor and your lead or supervisor will rush and show you how it goes and assume you know how to solve the claim after showing you once or twice. The problem is, is that the claims are complex and not all the same. They cannot continuously help because of course, they have work of their own). -Work flows (a list of directions to follow to help resolve the claim) are almost never up to date and are hard to follow. -Upper management are super judgmental and uncomfortable to converse with and exist around. -You will get audited by the state if you pay a claim too much or too little and depending on the amount, it can lead to termination. -Everyone is expected to move up as an analyst so that more claims can be processed. This new training includes a salary increase after it is complete. So, at the end of training, there will be a test and if you do not pass, you still have to process the claims when you get back out on the floor but you will be making the same amount as before the training, so you are expected to do twice the work for the same pay, because since you did not pass training, you will not making get the raise but are expected to do the work. -So many more, a book load to write.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
CEO actually cares about the world and people and employees, morals exist here, enough creative freedom to make a difference
Cons
Its massive, 40k+ employees and at times communication can be difficult cross teams
