Pros

The only pro to working at Ambetter is that you can negotiate a higher salary than that you can find elsewhere for the same level of position.

Cons

Managers across multiple levels have poor leadership skills and give no substantial direction for their teams. There are gross inefficiencies across multiple teams and promotions are given out for no reason. There is no automation and teams are created to do meaningless if any work at all. Multiple people recieve a salary to do absolutely nothing. Unless you're applying for an actuarial position, the work you do will probably sit in a folder.

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.
