Pros

The schedule was the only good thing.

Cons

The first negative experience I had with this company was the first time they decided to lie to me. They were ramping up a new call center in Boise, ID and telling people what they wanted to hear to pull them from their current occupations. They told me there would be performance based bonus incentives. There were not. They told about 2000 employees they would have jobs for 36 months. They laid off 1800 of them after 9 months. Even though employees were constantly asking if this was going to happen due to low call volume, they were repeatedly told they would have secure jobs.

Remote, adequate training and guidance and usually everything /software works - minus regular hiccups.

Not too many - a few misunderstanding s about training classes and roles but overall, not bad.

Pros

Had a few really exceptional coworkers

Cons

One reason I was hired was to bring in new ideas and work approaches; however, when I tried implementing anything new, some of the “old school higher-ups” would balk and were never open to anything new or better. My management just looked the other way and didn’t support me. As for training, I wasn’t offered much in the way of onboarding other than being told to read a lengthy “standard operating procedures” document. No real opportunities were offered to shadow anyone so I could learn in real-time. A typical work week was 60+ hours and often stretched to 70+. It was exhausting and demoralizing. The job was not sustainable and I’ve never been more relieved to be done with a place. I cannot recommend Maximus as a place to grow your skills or to give your time. Turnover seems to be relatively high at Maximus and there are far better places to work.
