Pros
- Good experience for brand new inspectors.
-Some of the management is great.
-Great technical support from IT department.
- Year round employment, they’re a big organization and can usually send you somewhere if work is dried up.
Cons
-Low pay
-Benefits are mid range basic coverage nothing special.
- Management expects you to travel but the company clearly doesn’t want to pay for it. (I was stationed over 800 miles from my home and was only 6 days per diem a week)
- Per diem is based on days worked but they’ll send you hundreds of miles from your starting post.
- Some of the management is terrible.
- If you aren’t a friend to management you’re treated differently
- Magnolia services clients well, but gives up too much power to the contractor. When you’re in field, the clients will steam roll you for stopping contractors from breaking policy if it slows production. (This includes safety policies)
- You will not get a raise.
