Pros

No pros the job is all about keeping the people calling back over and over

Cons

No first call resolution allowed, basically HHSC or Maximus doesn’t want us to resolve issues right away they want us to give the least information as possible so the applicant can call back it’s called job security. I have lots of experience in leadership and I was not allowed to resolve issues that were important for the clients to know. I felt stuck snd not able to do what the job needs for the applicant and the state workers wouldn’t have they’re work cut out for them. The states can not staff enough workers because of Maximus business ways of thinking. Maximus should allow the reps to do more as they train us to so the state workers get help. This is the worst place I worked because I thought I was gonna help the problem the HHSC has with so many applicants having to wait so long for a answer to an application but instead I couldn’t help but see and feel I was part of the problem because Maximus wants job security. In sane

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.
