The only reward one gets for doing your job well, is more work. No words of encouragement or praise. Just more work. No matter which department you go to, you will be underpaid and have terrible benefits. Management will constantly tell you that they are looking into making sure that everyone is paid the market rate but these are just empty promises. Don't fall for them. Every single company I interviewed for before leaving Maximus, I always requested 20% more and I always got interviews. That's so sad. I regret staying for as long as I did. Don't even get me started on the amount of micromanaging. If you ever choose to work there, lets hope you never have to use the bathroom.
