Pros

I appreciate the quarterly bonuses that we receive.

Cons

Payroll is weird. We are paid twice a month, three business days after the 1st and the 15th of every month which means sometimes it can be 3 weeks between paychecks.

Pros

Really none. The company is terrible.

Cons

This is by far the worse company I have ever worked for. Maximus assumed the SMB Govt contract by purchasing a small company while they were taking over the contract. Maximus boasts to have 18k employees, but fail to mention that they have a large amount of turnover and employ mostly TIER I and low level help desk agents and techs. They don't have a large amount of TIER III Engineers. The treat employees on contract horribly. They have contracted out the HR department, which has no phone number to call to. Only an email with a 2 day reply timeframe. Health insurance is a joke, and they force employees to provide birth certificates of all family members, after SSNs have been provided as well. Pay is in the mid range, when outside of the DC beltway. Onboarding was terrible. It took their outsourced IT department 2 weeks to get logins to the multiple sites, to complete required docs for the hiring process, which is due 4 weeks once hired. This is after the start date, not before. Be warned...Maximus is a company to steer clear of.

Pros

None. below industry pay, no continuing education programs, no professional development program.

Cons

MAXIMUS is the type of place that will try to offer you blue skies and more but in reality they are the most racist, most condescending, and the most dehumanizing place to work. College grads definitely beware before accepting an full time offer. Here are a couple of reasons: 1.) All Huge Trump Supporters- one of the top executives had a Trump mannequin with the sticker stating "deplorable lives matter" 2.) They recently took away their tuition reimbursement policy of $1,200 to 0 since they believe that having a Project Management Certification benefits all employees (news flash it doesn’t) 3.) There is no mentorship or feedback review process at all- even if you try to ask your supervisor for feedback you will get a typical response of “let’s set up a meeting” followed by nothing 4.) Human Resource department has the highest turnover of employees in all of the departments which speaks truly to how H/R treats their employees. 5.) High school drama. (Favoritism) 6.) Nothing ever grows here— the people seem to be stuck in their old traditionalist way so when you have an idea it will 100% of the time be dismissed. 7.) Not enough work but they expect you to be glued to the chair for 8 hours (aka be a body in a chair)
