Pros

Remote, Good Coworkers, Easy to Digest Training

Cons

Supervisors monitor your computer and record every call you do. No freedom and must always by your computer ready to take phone calls. I would get pinged by supervisor if I take a break a little too long. You have "coaching sessions" twice a week where you get criticized if you dont say script properly. Your schedules are changed without warning and not given an input, nor would it be changed to your preferences. ( I had 10 AM - 7 PM and wasn't allowed to start earlier) Customers that call in would be raging and rambling with questions that can be found on the home website. You would also get pinged by manager everytime a phone call drags out past 5 minutes. They would have 10 people taking calls, and 30 people sitting around "supervising" aka doing nothing. Not a good ratio for those answering calls, while "supervisors" act like backseat drivers. Not good for the mental health of those answering calls as the pressure is all on them. I would be taking 100 phone calls a day dealing with angry customers, with one caller queued up after the other.

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

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.
