Pros

- Hours - PTO - Pay (if you negotiate appropriately) - Schedule - No accountability, you can suck at your job and it not matter. Only way you are getting let go is if they downsize an area.

Cons

- Human Resources is awful - Promotion system is complete trash. You promote one level at a time, which is fine. But if your next level is Manager and you haven't demonstrated leadership skills you should not be promoted to manager. - Growing so fast they don't have time to do things right. Just get it done and we will fix it later - Managers & supervisors are never available, most are not good leaders to begin with. - Odd hiring practices. I have seen highly qualified people turned away and low level gas station cashiers hired. - Managers and supervisors run in "clicks". You have a better chance of doing well if you are a butt kisser than a steady top performer. - Main concern is climbing the Forbes list - CEO lies or plays dumb during Q & A portion of all employee meetings - technology is way past its expiration date

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.
