Pros
Great benefits! Opportunity to move up. Fun to travel
Cons
Having to pay certain things out of pocket at first
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-Knowing that you are going to work every day helping Veterans is a great feeling -Opportunities to move around the company into different positions if it becomes available -Made friends I will have for the rest of my life
Cons
-Unrealistic expectations put on recruiters in underserved/sparse states. -Other VA contractors pay more than VES does for compensation and pension exams, so you are starting out at a disadvantage from the get-go -Requirements for things such as handicapped bathrooms to qualify recruited providers are only enforced with VES, not other VA contractors, which shrinks the pool to recruit from -Call lists/ways to reach doctors are archaic -Once a provider is found and interested, they must jump through too many hoops for very little pay to motivate them to actually become certified, although the pressure never ends on the recruiter -Constantly being micromanaged from one direction or another -VES refuses to properly compensate providers based on their region/distance from Veterans -Terrible culture - people were fired left and right for all the wrong reasons - this left a terrible taste in people's mouths about working for VES

Pros
Remote work, flexibility, rewarding work
Cons
Since Maximus buy out benefits, pay, PTO, day to day tasks/workflow, and employee culture and quality of life have all suffered. They spend a lot of time and energy trying to fix/revamp what’s not necessarily broken and ignoring real issues/areas that actually require attention. Recurring issues with payroll, union organization, lots of pushback from employees on health benefits that are less than desirable. Hopefully it’s just growing pains as Maximus actually listens to employee concerns/ideas. Also Deltek, for the love of god, please consider going to ADP. Deltek time & expense is pure garbage.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★

plenty of work to keep you busy
Cons
Too many unnecessary changes and uncertainties
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Lots of work but hardwork pays (MOST HONEST/DETAILED REVIEW YOU WILL FIND FROM FORMER EMPLOYEE)

There is tons of work, you never have any free time but if you are single or working as a first job it is perfect. There is not much room to grow unless you work over 70-80 hours per week and are competing for a spot as a team lead or a team supervisor. The overtime pay is good, you are salaried but they structure it hourly. Remote is nice. Supervisory staff is very transparent and are really willing to help anytime necessary, even after hours. Often times you will have to put in an additional 2 hours minimum per day to meet quota or secure incentives. If they see you slacking or not meeting quota they will work with you and see how you do in different departments instead of the QA department. They do not want to fire you but also know that they do mass hiring's every few months so you know you can be easily replaced. For some people it makes them work harder, for others it adds tons of stress
Cons
There was quite a bit of micromanaging for the first few months, but that is due to the fact that there are tons of policies that you need to be familiar with so the VA does not bounce back any of your documents (after that it is upto your team leads discretion how they want to supervise their team. Some can be relaxed and some are super stickler for hourly check ins). The job is heavily quota based and there are incentives but you have to close an obscene amount of documents and be top 3 or top 5 in your whole department to see those benefits. The documents you will be reviewing are 30-60 page documents depending on what specialty you are reviewing. They are real cases so even the SLIGHTEST error (such as marking a selection but also marking "other") can flag the document by the VA. BEWARE OF THE DOCTORS. Some of them are straight Aholes. They take ages to sign off on the documents and you cannot send the documents out to the VA/count as quota being met unless they sign the documents. If you remind them once or twice they get an attitude. Be prepared to work and be prepared to work/stare at over a million of words (maybe even more) a day.

Pros
Work from home is about it
Cons
Micro managing, unrealistic expectations, ever changing procedures
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Not a bad PTO policy and my department has a good remote set up.
Cons
Upper management is only interested in doing as much as possible with as little as possible usually putting the crunch on their employees without a huge bonus or incentive.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You are able to work from home as a Quality Analyst
Cons
The job was decent before the buy-out. The quota can get the best of you sometimes if you can't beat other people to the reports and if you don't meet your quota that week, you're expected to work in the middle of the night or early morning when less people are on to work towards meeting it. After the buy-out, they stripped away all bonuses and incentives to work harder. Even if the work is not available, you better still make quota. There are people doing some SERIOUSLY unethical stuff there just to make quota. Something I was not comfortable doing. The medical insurance is very expensive and the benefits are not good. The pay is not comparable to the workload. It destroyed my mental health working there. I hated every minute of it and had to talk myself out of quitting DAILY (many veteran employees have voiced this same feeling to me).

Pros
Remote but it's not standard in all departments so ask when you interview. Original owners and family are gone after the buy out.
Cons
Remote work is looked down upon. No advancement opportunities. No tuition assistance. Parental leave is non-existent. You have to use your PTO. Bonuses and performance reviews were stripped away after the buy out. Thanks for taking away that holiday bonus we were anticipating. Management lacks communication skills. Micromanagement is the norm. Employee turnover is frequent. After the buy out, those who stuck around didn't get any sort of compensation. Valuing employees is non-existent. Daily timesheet entries make you feel like you're working at McDonald's.

Pros

Inept upper management inhibits workflow unnecessarily.
