Centene Diversity And Inclusion FAQ

Pros

Pay, internal opportunities, diversity and inclusion

Cons

Corporate culture, professional dress, appearances matter more than actual work product

Pros

Pros: huge company with potential to grow within, excellent pay, great benefits

Cons

Cons: certain departments foster a "Karen" culture, needs to be more diversity and inclusion in ALL departments within the company

Pros

Strong teams, good people, focus on diversity and inclusion is a positive, company growth in a solid sector (healthcare)

Cons

Company growth due to mergers and acquisitions is creating overwhelming workload, and in some key departments, there are not enough people to do all the work, which is creating burnout. People work long hours. As of this writing, the company won’t allow 100% remote work after the pandemic, leading some to leave for jobs that will.

Pros

The company has a great vision statement and values diversity.

Cons

Multiple acquisitions makes career longevity unpredictable. Employees are let go, because their position has been duplicated with the influx of new employees from mergers. Employees are over worked and unrealistic timelines are placed on projects.

Advice to Management

Strive for better work life balance. Stabilize employees work environments. Become better at project management to minimize the fire drills.

Pros

- Switched to WFH quickly when the pandemic started - Salary is great

Cons

- No diversity in executive leadership - Racism in the commercial segment - Collaboration is difficult with internal partners - Corporate has a very stiff mentality (i.e. business professional dress [no jeans or sneakers ever], no carry over of vacation time even during the pandemic when people were not able to take a proper vacation, no flexibility to WFH until pandemic started)

Advice to Management

You are losing out on top talent by not having a more lax mentality on simple things. Let employees that work at the corporate office wear jeans and sneakers on Fridays, allow for WFH a couple days a week, and show more diversity in your executive leadership. The extracurricular "diversity" groups are far from diverse and are not promoted within the organization across the board. I was here almost a year before I found out about them. It's the little things that make a happy employee and attract and retain top talent.
