Full of promises, but lied to every one of their 2000 employees. - Training Specialist Maximus Employee Review

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.

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.
