Pros

Had the opportunity to work in a school as an LPN.

Cons

There is not one honest person in the office. The head recruiter is the worst! They try to woo you into taking cases by telling you how wonderful and easy they are. Everything that comes out of their mouths is lies. There is NO communication at all between the staff and they all sit within the same 4 walls. No communication between the office and patient families. If you work for Maxim be prepares to be thrown under the bus for EVERY mistake the office staff makes. I have been forced to apologize to administration for office staffs mistakes. You are told to do one thing and then berated for doing what you're told to do. If you speak up for yourself they will pull you off the cases you have worked with for months and enjoy forcing you to work hours that do not allow you to take care of family or have a life and cut your hours so badly you can't make a living wage. I have not had one paycheck that was compensated correctly, I'm always shorted. They will tell you they have overlooked your nursing paperwork and time sheets and tell you that you have to wait until the next payday. This is very common for all of their field employees. The office staff receives their full compensation. Once they know they have made a mistake they will avoid you like the plague because they are too cowardly to face up to their failures. I wouldn't wish for my worst enemy to work for this company!! Don't fall for their lies and smooth talking to get you in the door!

Pros

1. Stable healthcare company with established reputation * Maxim Healthcare Services is well-known in healthcare staffing and home healthcare, so there is job security and established systems. 2. Strong administrative/coordinator experience * Great resume builder for future roles in operations, healthcare administration, recruiting, account management, or project coordination. 3. Relationship-building role * You work closely with families, caregivers, nurses, and clients, which builds strong customer service and communication skills. 4. Mission-driven work * You are helping coordinate care for families who genuinely need support, which can feel meaningful. 5. Potential growth opportunities * Can move into recruiting, branch leadership, healthcare operations, account management, or regional leadership. 6. Structured office environment * Predictable tasks, processes, scheduling, documentation, client communication. 7. Benefits and corporate structure * Usually offers PTO, healthcare benefits, 401(k), and more stability than smaller companies.

Cons

1. High stress / constant urgency * Healthcare staffing often means call-outs, last-minute schedule changes, unhappy families, and scrambling to fill shifts. 2. Heavy phone and email volume * Much of the day can be reactive rather than proactive. 3. Limited flexibility * Often requires strict office hours (commonly 8–5), which can be hard when balancing kids and school pickup schedules. 4. Emotional burnout * Working with patients, families, and caregivers can become emotionally draining over time. 5. Staffing shortages = pressure * If nurses/caregivers call off, coordinators are often responsible for solving the issue immediately. 6. Can feel repetitive * Scheduling, documentation, follow-up calls, and compliance tasks can become routine. 7. Compensation may not match stress level * Depending on market/location, pay can sometimes feel low compared with workload.
