Pros

Nothing, Nada, Zero and None

Cons

Profits are the only driving force. This company made their Billions off of taxes- This company loves it when the economy is tanking. At a town hall meeting a little over a year ago the VP Speaking visibly showed disappointment when talking about the economy--At the time the economy was doing good, therefore membership was dropping. The company deliberately declines providers claims, they down code provider claims without justification, when provider rates are increased they hold off implementing the correct rates, when providers are due large incentive checks, they date the checks the first of the month--deliver them a month later. (for a month they are earning interest off of Billions of dollars given to them by the state to give to the providers. It is a very weak and cowardly company--The only way they can figure out how to increase profits is by putting the screws to the provider. They can save money if they overhauled their internal processes. The company is extremely top heavy and few in management are capable of making decisions "on their feet" They put up a façade that they care about their employees and want your suggestions. Try and make a suggestion and you'll see it's a waste of your time. You get no feedback. Yearly Raises a minima-2%--they give out incentives instead--this way there is no obligation to pay you more the next year or the year after that.

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.
