Pros

- None really its a job and a paycheck

Cons

This company keeps growing when its not ready. When they bring on a new company they will find a reason to lay off current employees or fire them to make room for the new company person in the same position. - Pay is very lacking for what they expect - Micromanagement 100000% - The company is so far behind in technology software companies wont help them until they update the software to something recent - They will deploy to the production env with out testing or having a backup plan - They say they will promote from within but that is a lie. - IT has no basic process for anything - Documentation is lacking completely - They will over work people that are trying to move up and never promote them - You have to be in position for a year before you can apply for anything - HR doesnt know what they are doing - Most HR stuff is handled by third party since HR cant handle it

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.
