Pros of working at Maximus

Beats a blank

Cons of working at Maximus

Harrisburg location has poor leadership likely contributing to the high attrition, uses programs that don't function properly causing major stress when performing your job duties, poorly managed, has no clue to true customer focus or customer service. The only company I ever worked for that doesn't use a time clock to record worked hrs, you manually keep track of your own hrs. - is this even legal?

Maximus benefits

No perks apply to me and the benefits are too expensive.

What do you like best about Maximus's CEO and the leadership team?

Choose not to answer.

How would you improve Maximus's culture?

Implement a time clock system. Truly build around customer service and build & improve employee skills to be more customer service driven.The con to this is that most of your operations & leadership employees have little to no call center experience, which explain why the call centers have issues being customer focused and seem to be more client focused.

How did you prepare for the Maximus interview?

Choose not to answer.

How does your compensation at Maximus compare to the industry average?

Below average.

What's the diversity at Maximus like?

When you need to use third party translating companies to translate the calls, not diverse enough.

What brings you the most joy at Maximus?

When my callers express how unexpectedly pleasant and professional their call was. The end of my shift.

Competition, lack of transparency.

I have zero trust in leadership. My major concern is that this for profit entity would sell its soul for a contract.

How would you improve Maximus's culture?

Reestablish the basic purpose of Maximus and ensure adequate training and support for employees.

How did you prepare for the Maximus interview?

I did not prepare but if I had I would first and foremost evaluate its mission for consistency in its approach to employees.

How does your compensation at Maximus compare to the industry average?

I have not studied the industry average and cannot honestly answer this question.

What's the diversity at Maximus like?

Barely adequate and likely to decline in this anti DEI environment.

Going home.

Pros of working at Maximus

My colleagues- because of the discrepancies at the leadership level - I felt very united and has a strong sense of camaraderie with middle management

Cons of working at Maximus

Favoritism by leadership and disparity in salaries and titles- very top heavy at the senior level.

Maximus benefits

The freedom to plan events and incentive programs for employees. While the budget was sparse, it forced me to be more creative, and without a lot of oversight. It made me more resourceful, and my team closer because we depended on one another.
