People of various cultural backgrounds working together, management tries to accomodate needs of employees in regards to education or personal time off. Friendly employees who generally share in good rapport with one another.

Cons

Low pay for industry standards. Can be extremely stressful due to the requirements of the job. Very little opportunity for vertical career mobility. Very low raises awarded after each year in the job.

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.
