Pros

Pays decent depending on your department, convenient and central location, cafeteria and gym are great..easy to move up and around.

Cons

This place looks good on the outside but once you finally get inside, everything isn't what you expect. Management is awful. No work life balance. There is no flexibility. Working from home is discouraged. It feel like a prison, cameras watching you everywhere. Everything is a fire drill. No sense of planning and executing effectively. Some departments are Better than others. There is no privacy. It's very uncomfortable. You have to go to stairs to get privacy, even the stair case has cameras. This is not corporate America bc everyone is treated like a child. High turnover. Everyone that was hired within the last year are already searching for other jobs. There are so many unhappy people but they stick around for the money.

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.
