Pros

Pay increase to join company. Hours of flexibility. Use to company credit card without having to go through hassle of reimbursement.

Cons

The market I worked in was a newly implemented Health Plan. There was MINIMAL support from the Corporate level and the people hired in the market had no Healthcare experience. How can you manage and function a Health Plan without that? Workers were very unprofessional and Management and above never took ownership of any issues. Ultimately the Health Plan advised they were pulling out of the market no less than 8 months of "going live". Luckily this was something I recognized and left prior to all this. This company still leaves a bad taste in Providers mouths.

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.
