Pros

work from home & working with the Medicaid population

Cons

upper management does not support staff. I sent an email to my supervisor about not having access to my call reviews. I sent a follow up email 2 weeks later. 2 weeks later I sent one more. 8 months later I was asked why I was not reviewing my calls. I advised I was waiting to regain access and my supervisor blamed me for not sending a 4th follow up email instead of taking ownership of her oversight and fixing the issue. I complained to HR about her unresponsiveness. 3 weeks later I was let go because as I was speaking on a call, the caller interrupted me and I asked them to please let us both speak one at a time. I was told I spoke over the caller and that was the reason I was let go. The caller was understandingly upset because the company has sold claims processing overseas to pay less and in the last 8 months I have seen more incorrectly denied claims and incorrectly upheld appeals than I have in the 5 whole years I worked there combined.

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.
