Pros

Overall, Centene is a decent company to work for. While I worked there for four years, I was on two different teams during my transition after moving to another state I was grandfathered in my tenure with the couple months gap because I was hired on an internal application for my second position. I really appreciated that because the only reason I left that position was due to state rules saying that I had to live within the state and I was moving to be closer to family. The insurance that they provide is also adequate though expensive.

Cons

Everyone knows that healthcare means you work in a dynamic environment where change is anticipated and not avoided. However, the changes that I underwent at Cine or dizzying nauseating and for a Neurodiverse person, it was almost impossible for me to use the given benefits in order to get accommodations or get placed in another position. In the end, after improving my production and surpassing the requirements for my position, I was terminated because I made a mistake on something which they said I knowingly falsified documents when it was an honest mistake. of course you cannot prove knowledge in a court of law I cannot present any evidence so I also was rejected unemployment insurance, which left me without a job and without my four years worth of contributions to my unemployment insurance. Depending on the market, you’re in or line of business that you serve you have to accept the fact that every state does not have the same budget and therefore every position is not going to be fairly paid.

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.
