Pros

Office culture is one of solitude. You work in a cubicle all day, and must be very quiet. The case reviews can be interesting with some challenge for a nurse with good medical knowledge and the ability to link it with Medicare requirements.

Cons

For a salaried position, the company treats its employees as if they are punching a time clock. Watch your lunch break if you get one, because many of us just worked and ate a bagged lunch in our cubicle. The area is monitored with security cameras. Often times, staff were expected to work on Saturdays for no additional pay. Training for new updates could include a webinar for 10 minutes--or a teleconference if the phone system allowed. Management is not truthful about production numbers and deadlines. They dangle the word "bonus" to staff in order to increase productivity--only to find that the bonus does not apply for the time period they needed to up their numbers. Team supervisors were not helpful, and would admit that the employee probably knew more about a particular review, than they did. No help or guidance at all.

Pros

Excellent company to work for, hard working and results driven. I left a long and rewarding career in the same industry to go to work for the MAXIMUS NYSOH project as a long-term and high-quality career move. I think the company is excellent with a great work ethic and a real desire to do the right thing and achieve psotive results.

Cons

Unfortunately, as much as I respect the company,there was a personality conflict with my particular director A micro-manager that I feel was more concerned about process than progress. Although it was made clear in my interview that I am was independent thinker and results oriented person who simply can not thrive under a micro-managed environment, it turned out to be just that. In my previous job, I simply could do no wrong; in this one, I could do nothing right. I feel like the job I was hired for and the responsibilities defuned in the job description were really never operationally implemented, which left me with a lack of understanding of the expectatons and direction in the position. I recieved little to no direction and was simply expected to "do the job" although the job never really developed. I was "pigeon-holed" into a role that was not my expertise and forte which unfortuntely did not set me up for success. I was eventually allowed to resign from my position. Please note that this is simply my experience and others may or may not have the same viewpoint and it is unfortunate and very disappointing that I was not allowed to continue my career at MAXIMUS.

Pros

Colleagues were the only silver lining.

Cons

Told everyone during interviews that contract was for 36 months, and then after 8, laid off 90% of workforce. Reclassified training department in a retaliatory fashion by cutting wages and worsening benefits package. Horribly hostile work environment, even Human Capital couldn't be trusted with day to day issues. I would not wish for my worst enemy to be employed here, and if they were, at least it wouldn't be for long.
