Pros

You work with great people who are sharp, professional, willing to help you, and highly skilled in their field. I had the opportunity to work on some amazing aerospace projects during my time there.

Cons

Low pay resulted in high turn-over rate. There were a few long-term employees and I'm not sure what they were paid, but for recent recruits management tried to stem the attrition rate with high raises (in my case 30% increase over 4 years) but ultimately I was able to find a position at another company and still receive a 25% salary bump over my final Magellan salary (and with similar benefits).

Pros

I worked for 2 years as a Quality Control Inspector in the Mechanical Processing Quality Control Department. Both my coworkers and management left me with very good memories – people with culture, knowledge, and commitment. The team creates a great atmosphere, and it’s really a place you want to work at – at least until management gets involved… The Mechanical Processing Department is actually “held together” only by the rank-and-file employees. It is managed by Mr. Stanisław – a person completely out of touch with today’s standards. Lack of competence, outdated work methods, and an approach based on intimidation – especially towards women – are his everyday reality. Additionally, there are private “side jobs” done on the second shift when no one is watching – for example, building a wooden chicken coop using company materials and equipment, and then transporting the finished structure home in a company vehicle. These things happened openly. I have proof. Opportunities for development? Very limited. Promotions and raises? Practically unavailable, regardless of your experience, skills, or contribution to the company. What matters is only whether you “fit into the Excel spreadsheet” and if the manager thinks you fit the table. If you openly say something is wrong or – worse – threaten to take the issue to higher management, you are immediately considered a threat and pushed out. In summary: If you have no ambitions, have a mortgage, a family to support, thick skin, and treat stability at a low wage as the most important thing – you will manage
