Pros

Job is flexible, VTO is offered when available, also flex-time and LWOP. Two medical excuses per quarter and each is good for 3 days, it is without pay though. We have a hotline for calling in, you accrue points that roll off but if not responsibly monitored can lead to termination. It is remote, and equipment is provided.

Cons

Stressful calls, rude clients, you are micro-managed and every second of your day is monitored. Any deviance from scheduled talk-time is construed as call-avoidance. Management is not consistent and when you question conflicting directives you are threatened with insubordination write-ups. There are a mass onboarding of new employees every quarter due to absurd turnover, making labor dispensable and HR ambivalent to our concerns regarding quality of management.

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.
