Pros

Most of our team work hard to keep this ship afloat.

Cons

Maxim is a privately held company which is going through a serious transition. $72.7 million of the $130 million fine imposed in 2011 for Medicaid fraud is still owed to the Department of Justice (search in DOJ archives for Maxim Settlement Agreement). Twenty percent of the workforce was suddenly and randomly fired in November leaving the remaining staff to absorb the burden with no increase in pay or bonus. Incompetent managers in their twenties with no business degree or leadership experience rise in rank leaving their team members to shake their heads. They eliminated overtime for nurses, released Medicaid patients, have a $1500 deductible for medical coverage for internal staff which makes it worthless. Pay for both nurses and staff is substandard. Working 50-60 hour weeks is common. No position is secure. Stay clear of this company for a few years until they have proven they have paid their fine and reorganized again.

The new logo represents our growth as a company and better care for all. We see you are a current employee - have you spoke with your office staff about your concerns? We recommend you do to make your experience better at Maxim. Thanks - Steven

Pros

The most flexible schedule you will ever get in Nursing! The patient and the families were also amazing to work with! When I was there, they also gave a $5000 sign on bonus and if you worked full-time, I think every three months you get $1000 bonus and then if you worked part-time and medicine a certain amount of hours every three months you would get a $500 bonus.

Cons

When they first hire you on, they will try to give you the worst patients. By this, I mean, the patient themselves are wonderful. However, the family of the patient is terrible. They will also make you drive very far to accommodate the patient. Don't worry, though if you stand your ground and tell them that you want a patient that is closer by they will give you the patient that is closer and if you voice that the patient's family is making you uncomfortable and YOU push to get another patient instead they will accommodate you as well.

Pros

I didn't think it was possible to be this impressed with a health-care company given the current state of the US healthcare system but here we are! They truly think of EVERYTHING to prepare and support you off site, in home and ongoing as you work independently. I am not used to that, I am use to being the one who always identifies the risks, voices concerns and ofter solutions as well as offering to help create change. I was hired into a position that I have only clinical experience with some of the skill. Even though I have confidence and excel at winging it when I have been thrown into something new by other companies, refreshing skills and q&a discussions about them to reinforce your knowledge BEFORE you even meet your new patient it feels like pampering tbh. Idc if I think I know everything, I want to know everything I can, EBP does change and any nurse who takes patient care as seriously as I do would welcome all the support. At the end of the day it's not about us, it's about the people who entrust us to provide their loved ones with the best possible care we can give them. I am thrilled to be joing a strong team and company that agrees. It feels like a whole different level of confidence and I am 💯 here for that!

Cons

None so far, will update if change
