Pros

You get what you put in, if you do your best, you get the best experience. Middle management is great and has the best view of what is happening on all levels of the organization, but are woefully unable to do anything about it. Advancement is very possible as long as you're meeting your metrics, Albany is a ramp site and always hiring in all departments.

Cons

The attendance policy strangles any work-life balance. An unscheduled day off nets you -4 attendance points, -8 on a critical day. The only way to earn points back is to get perfect attendance for a month (meaning you can't be late even once), you then earn +4 points back. You begin with 40 which is also the maximum amount you can have, no banking for a rainy day. If you dip below 32 points you can kiss farewell any advancement opportunities. Compensation is great for entry level positions, but increases in salary as you advance are marginal at best. I've never seen a salaried position below $40k before working for this company.

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.
