Pros

Provide good benefits and opportunity to have a positive impact or the lives of people in the local community.

Cons

Lttle support from corporate on new projects. New project managers and supervisors are left on their own to implement new processes and train new hires. Many supervisors promoted to position without supplying them with adequate training on how to be a supervisor. Thus they overloaded themselves with work that should have been conducted by their subordinates. Resulting in project objectives not being met according to contract requirements. That is when corporate decided that the project needed help. Resulting in forcing employees to quite and terminations of employees that didn't really have a chance. I could not stand to watch.

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.
