Good Place to Work

Analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaried employees enjoy a good life/work balance (work from home is available in most departments), paid time off (which you can use before you accrue), and a decent competitive benefits package. There is potential for growth in all positions which include senior and manager levels. Direct, mid-level management is generally good.

Cons

Communication appears to digress when directives are pushed down from upper management. Suggestions are dismissed or go unheard which many times leads to confusion.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and benifits. Other employees are really nice. Among the workers there is a can do attitude.

Cons

They get rid of you if you are over 55. Nobody ever retires from Magellan. No management employee ever thanks anyone for a job well done. You are expected to be on call 24X7X365 even when on vacation.
