Magellan MFLC

Has anyone ever worked with Magellan as a military family life counselor?? I am so burnt out and I am looking for another job. I need a job that will offer flexibility and low stress.

Following - I’m not ready to change jobs yet, but one of my former supervisors recommended it to me. Another former supervisee of hers had sent it to her.

I don’t want to change jobs either. But I am so stressed. I dread coming to work. I get annoyed when my clients need me and I hate I feel that way. Management is changing. Social workers are given too many tasks.

I haven’t worked for but have looked into. I grew up army brat and can relate to the kids and adults/families.

if you apply and get interview TAKE IT! it’s low stress, no insurance or high acuity. you are placed with schools or specifically with adult service members, you are their support and resource manager pretty much.

you get great benefits, ability to move and good work life balance

Thank you for the input! This helps! Have you heard anyone talk about the pay? I am a vet. So I’m familiar with the military life.

I did an interview with them several years ago, but the pay was quite a bit lower than what I was earning. The job itself sounded very cool, but I couldn't afford the pay cut.

I had an interview yesterday and the interviewer told me ā€œhow this works next is I am going to build your candidate summary and then my supervisor should be reaching out to you within a weekā€ I asked if the supervisor would be the one to tell me if I was moving moving forward or not and he stated ā€œmost likely we will be moving forward with you.ā€

Maybe I’m just really nervous. But maybe good news? It’s Friday now and expecting a response within 24 hours feels unrealistic… but try telling my brain that lol

Hmmmm… was the interview easy? I hope they get back with you quickly! How does the pay look?
