Magna IV Engineering

While working for MAGNA IV Engineering, I found that the job was very enriching for a young worker when I worked there. Being a person of little experience at the time, I found that they had a passion in teaching me the ropes and helped me immensely in finding my niche in the company. With their competitive salary rates and flexible pay options, high pressure occasions felt relatively comfortable and were very easy to overcome.

On the other hand, I unfortunately fell victim to not getting a ton of repetitive training and at some occasions I wasn't trained at all in some parts of my job which unfortunately lead to my dismissal due to inability and lack of expertise.  

All in all, I would recommend this company to anyone who is experienced in the electrical engineering field and would say overall it was a very good place to work.

I had fun working in the field and I enjoyed the work, it was hard, it was challenging, and often shifts were back to back but there were numerous times where I was put in a position that I had to take a stand for the good of the company as liability was an issue and I was thrown under the bus for it.  I had numerous letters of commendation from clients but was told I was not aloud on sites that I did have to take a stand which was a lie.  
There is nothing quite as hurtful as a company that you sacrifice for so hard and they toss you out without a second thought.  I was once written up for looking intimidating, I have heard that manager is gone now and maybe things will improve but I am still down and out because of what this company did to me when I did so much for them.  I would caution anyone from working here for too long, take the opportunity to move on as soon as it comes up.

this company does not value the employees, they will work you relentlessly and than sit you sometimes for a month straight or more.  The electricians here are under appreciated and treated as low class.  If you are a tech this is a good stepping stone but no more than that.  Training here is terrible, there is no on the job training or mentoring just work relentlessly until it is done and then they expect you to home study on your own in your free time.  You are given a cell phone on the first day and with it are pretty much expected to be on call you will not get foreman rate for foreman work and scheduled raises only happen if you hound them.  Overhead costs for this company are huge due to the extravagant home office leading to poor equipment and poor wages.  This is a revolving door get what you can get then get out.

If you enjoy being overworked and under appreciated this is the job for you.  This is a very elitist company that often recognizes social prowess over hard work and skill.  Much of the equipment is antiquated and  unreliable.  Safety is always a back burner item and if you push an issue the office manager will threaten your job.  Many of the client managers will throw people under the bus to cover for their lack of action and preparation.  This company as very narrowly avoided serious injuries or fatalities through lack of proper training and supervision.  This company is on a sure path to catastrophe and unless you work in the office it could very well mean your life.

Magna offered me plenty of opportunities to learn and grow in the industrial and commercial electrical field services trade. I had a chance to experience highly technical scenarios and develop my problem solving skills. The position came with a lot of out of town work and cyclical work periods, but I didn't ever have a tough time getting hours.  Further, when I wanted to make the move to a supervisor role, the company helped find a position for me to move up. I always enjoyed working with my colleagues and felt safe in the field. The company encourages participation at all levels in safety.

While I worked here I enjoyed the perks the company had to offer like team building events, chili cook offs, summer bbqs, decent salaries, opportunity to move up etc. Unfortunately, at the end of the day non of that matters if your co-workers are verbally abusive, management plays favoritism, and any issues you bring up are not dealt with. It felt as though they wanted to put a band aid on things that were wrong in hopes that it would just heal on its own and go away. At the end of the day the money wasn't worth it.

Elitist, poor work relationship company. Safety not taken cared of by the management and non-existent safety person at any time. Ambitious, smart, non-experienced young technicians ready for a safety catastrophe to happen. Management far apart from the field technicians with very few exceptions. Office job people never go in the field to actually see what team is doing. Big, apparent strong company with broken sail, skipper went missing. Sorry...

Worked there for over 5 years. No raise, two pay cuts and took on three positions. But they always pay on time so that's a plus!
Upper management needs a complete refresh. Complained about things and suggested ways to improve loss and wasted time and effort but no one listens.

They also don't really reward you for hard work. It seems like the ones who work less get more recognition. But there's alot of favoritism that goes on here. Whether it's because they hire family or close friends.

Don't care about employees, cut wages and benefits every year.
Long periods (2-3 months) of no work (you don't get paid)
Managers don't do what they say. Management is horrible
People don't work here all career, this is a step for your career.
People here are not nice. Watch out.
Don't even think about advancement if you are not white and speak english well.
Provide great internal technical trainings.
Too many good companies out there to work for. I have been with 3 employers, Magna is the worst.

I have personally learned a lot from my time at Magna. My personal supervisors were a major benefit in my personal advancement and encourage me to learn and grow in all areas of my field. I feel that it is time to move on and explore other companies involved in the electrical field where I can continue to personally grow as well as expand my knowledge and career.
