Pros

The pay is good and that is it.

Cons

Horrible workplace culture. Unachievable success metrics. Bosses who lie and hang their employees out to dry for their own personal gain. Bosses who do not care at all about their employees families, mental health, state of mind, or well being. Bosses who come after people with a disability to step on them to get ahead. Bosses who actively pursue retaliatory and unnecessary disciplinary action against top performers for questioning their judgement. Bosses who do not care about military veterans or their service. Not healthy at all whatsoever. Stay away especially from senior-level roles and especially if you are a top performer. Narcissistic leaders do not enjoy seeing top talent thrive. Run fast and run far.

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.
