Pros

Really none. The company is terrible.

Cons

This is by far the worse company I have ever worked for. Maximus assumed the SMB Govt contract by purchasing a small company while they were taking over the contract. Maximus boasts to have 18k employees, but fail to mention that they have a large amount of turnover and employ mostly TIER I and low level help desk agents and techs. They don't have a large amount of TIER III Engineers. The treat employees on contract horribly. They have contracted out the HR department, which has no phone number to call to. Only an email with a 2 day reply timeframe. Health insurance is a joke, and they force employees to provide birth certificates of all family members, after SSNs have been provided as well. Pay is in the mid range, when outside of the DC beltway. Onboarding was terrible. It took their outsourced IT department 2 weeks to get logins to the multiple sites, to complete required docs for the hiring process, which is due 4 weeks once hired. This is after the start date, not before. Be warned...Maximus is a company to steer clear of.

Pros

Paid Holidays, a good amount of sick pto and regular pto.

Cons

They have been doing a few rounds of layoffs and not hiring new staff. I feel more like a number than an actual person. They removed the incentive program and keep pushing for better numbers, but there is no drive to do so.
