Pros

Very helpful coworkers, diverse environment, supervisors are very accessible. Good benefits once you are granted permanency. Overall its a good job if you are young, quick to learn, and dont have kids. There is potential for growth, Ive witnessed it. You need great phone manner and patience, though, because clients can be rude, annoying, and utterly unknowledgeable about what they are talking about. So if you have a bad attitude or are not much of a friendly person, you will most likely be terminated at some point because each call is monitored, lol.

Cons

Company policies are overly enforced and a bit extreme. As far as time and attendance, its worse than high school. There is a whacky and obscure point system employees must abide by, otherwise it will affect their time and attendence or "adherence" as maximus calls it. In training whichbis three weeks you cannot be a minute late. If your late even by a minute two times, youre fired. You also cannot miss any days. If you are sick, you better get to work or look for another job. They would.probably throw a doctors note in a shredder. Basically if you are not dying, there are no excxused absences. You cannot clock in early, not even by 2 minutes. Its gotta be on the dot.. I feel constantly watched and micromanaged. There is no transparency in this company. The computer system needs to be improved. It will randomly clock an employee out and it counts against you. So basically you have to make sure the system isnt screwing up, Id say once every 10 minutes. Oh and managers never follow dresscode.

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.
