Pros

The only positive thing I could say about working for Maximus Federal Services is the unlimited supply of Keurig coffee...that is it!

Cons

The project manager provides little, if any, guidance. The process changes every day, and everyone is expected to "figure things out" for themselves. There is little, if any, training going on. Clinical Nurse Reviewers are exempt employees. They are expected to work well over 40 hours every week, and very often weekends. Constant threats to job security instead of positive reinforcement.

Pros

Remote, adequate training and guidance and usually everything /software works - minus regular hiccups.

Cons

Not too many - a few misunderstanding s about training classes and roles but overall, not bad.

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.
