Pros

This company has a lot of potential, the SLT are vibrant and positive. Beer o'clock.

Cons

When starting the business I asked for instructions on how to complete basic daily administrative tasks essential for audit. I was told by my colleagues and my manager not to bother as "we never do it". Six months later, after figuring out, off my own back how to do it, Head Office comes down like a tonne of bricks on the office stating they have not been done and have failed audit. On top of this I worked with racist, homophobic and disgruntled colleagues who were obnoxious, lazy and didn't give a damn. My line manager refused to verify my work as he was too lazy. This meant that although I was exceeding my target by at least 25% each month, my figures were only showing that I was achieving between 10-50% of my target. This affected my bonus and most importantly my morale and was what led me to look elsewhere for a role. I am now earning double what I was paid at Maximus, and am given more autonomy and respect, as well as consistently achieving my targets and being recognised. They lost a good worker in me, and many of my highly qualified and hard-working colleagues also left due to the absolutely shocking treatment.

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

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.
