Pros

-Easy to get hired. -The job itself isn't hard. -(Some) of your immediate management is alright, depending on who you get assigned to.

Cons

-Because it is so easy to get hired, you work with a lot of ghetto trash, including management. Stuff gets stolen, cars get trashed, fights break out. Maybe I should put this is pros, but because they don't test and since half the inner city works there, uppers and downers are easy to come by if you want them. -Parking is non-existent. If you work anything but the 8-4:30 shift, expect to park about a quarter mile away from the building. The parkinglot isn't lit up at night in some areas either, so bring a flashlight. -(Some) of your immediate management actively practice cronyism, helping some people and sabotaging others, uneven rule enforcement, promotions spoon fed to inept workers who brown nose. -Draconian attendance policy that is set up to get you fired. -The company itself is both inept and malevolent towards its employees, and how it is keeping its contracts is a mystery. -In Rochester, all the promotions went out at the start, don't expect any of the promised "upward mobility" or overtime they sell you. -Getting time off is basically impossible, they expect you to ONLY take time off IF you have PTO, but they only give you seven days a YEAR, INCLUDING sick time. Oh, and it's accumulated, so you get about half a day each month. Good luck taking any time off. 0/5 for work life. They say during training, "We get it, life happens." Hahahaha. No they don't. No they don't. -The psychical environment is soul crushing. Gray walls, no windows, always about 10 degrees too warm and humid. You'd think it was a kitchen. -Doubling back to how easy it is to get hired, since they mass hire anyone, expect to spend most of your day hearing about how the last agent messed everything up. Because they did.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
