Pros

Used to be the co workers. Until everyone realized how abusive the owner is and they left. Now the company is full of little mini Tracy's.

Cons

The sad truth of Maxwell IT is a lot of employees have given a lot of themselves into trying to make this company successful but the owner is crazy and dishonest and not loyal. It's her way or the highway. She hardly has any IT knowledge and you will receive about 20 calls a day from her to the point where it tempts you to walk out. Clients are constantly unhappy and they have constant outages. The lack of knowledge is sad. As I said before, the owner hires people with zero experience and tries to mold them into mini Maxwell's. It may be easy to get a quick job here but stay clear of this revolving door. People are rarely fired but they do quit because the stress and overworked hours and dealing with crazy isn't worth their well being.

Maxwell IT Response

Let me start by saying how sorry I am that your experience with us wasn’t a positive one. I’ll be the first to admit that some changes and improvements are needed. We have made some changes in the last couple of months to improve processes and empower team members to take more ownership of projects. But, nobody is perfect, and we’re still in the process of improving processes and building a stronger work culture. That said, I want to address a few points from your review: 1. I like to hire people who are experts in their field and can deliver value to the clients. Yes, sometimes I take chances on people who have more potential than experience, but I do it because they are resilient, humble, dedicated and eager to learn. If that’s the definition of a mini-Tracy, then I see your comment as a compliment. 2. I am not, nor have I ever claimed to be, the world’s greatest IT expert. Do you think Elon Musk of Space X knows how to make a rocket? Of course not. He counts on the people around him to be the experts and deliver on his vision. I’m not a billionaire technology entrepreneur, but I do have goals, dreams and a desire to make an impact. I surround myself with the people I believe can help make those things a reality.
