Pros

I worked with Maximus welfare to work program in Tennessee and I enjoyed helping clients gain employment or degrees while in the program. If can be fulfilling work when you are helping clients become self sufficient.

Cons

The management is terrible and incompetent. Employees are not held accountable for their work when it is not done correctly. The good employees are overworked and underpaid....no appreciation for hard work. If you do not like change this is not the place to work because procedures change at the drop of a hat.

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.
