Pros

Close to the Train. Only thing good about this company.

Cons

They HIRE 25-50 people a MONTH this is because of the following reason. - They encourage distrust, by belittle everybody in front of the team for every little thing so anybody will throw you under the bus to save themselves. - Average pay but when you work 60-80 hours a week you only make about ½ of what you would make any other company. - Favoritism is very bad in this company too, all departments. In my Dept. if you were not one of the guys you didn’t fit in with the team. - No team work, because you don’t trust anybody. - If you take a vacation day chances are you will work on that day too. Save yourself don’t work here they will chew you up and spit you out.

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.
