Cons
Maximus is the sort of company people talk about when they say a place doesn't have a "work/life balance" but rather a "work/recover-from-work balance." Only work here if you need a job while you look for another job. - You will be underpaid and overworked. - Unreasonable production metric goals. - Very obvious racial lines as far as who gets into managerial and executive positions. - Works with McKinsey & Company. - Absurd break policy that requires you to spend your PTO to go to the bathroom. - CEO gets 6 million dollars in compensation while you don't even get a living wage or stock options. - You don't get dedicated sick/personal/vacation time off, just general-use PTO at a rate of 1.53 hours/week until 2 years in where it goes up to 2 hours. Anyone hired before 2017 gets significantly more PTO and execs get unlimited. - The health insurance (Anthem BCBS with Express Scripts) isn't very good; huge deductible and out of pocket maximum and Express Scripts will fight you if you take any medications that it doesn't want to pay for, even if you have tried alternatives before. - They talk a big game about contributing to your HSA and then make you jump through hoops to get the full amount they say you'll get. - Departments are never on the same page as each other. - Values profitability above all else, including the needs of the consumers. - Even within one department, job procedures are unclear and often contradictory. - Management is completely uninterested in consulting the people who do the actual work on how the job should be done.
