Pros
Not many unless they need you and have to pay you more for your then they will. #RNtruthyourworthmore
Cons
Recruiters job is to pay you as little as possible. The more money they make Maxim the better their bonus. At your yearly review they will grade your Job skills and not your Nurse manager. they will offer you the lowest amount they can say .25 cent hourly raise if you take it they get a bonus. If you say I'm worth more and deserve a$ $2.00 and hour raise then they will do all they can to act like your not worth it and that they just can't afford to pay you. BUT...If you give them the ultimatum of quitting if not given your raise and walk away and go home. The they WILL call you back and give you your raise b/c they would rather make less money off you than none at all. Each quarter they have competitions for bonuses meaning the more money they make Maxim the better their chances for making a bonus. The Senior recruiter makes the most. If you say you will work for less then don't expect to get a raise however you will be appreciated by the recruiters answering the phones b/c you are being taken advantage of for working for less hourly pay than your peers. It's a game of manipulation. As long as your happy, you will not want an increase in pay, and they know this. As an RN you are expected to be exact, ethical, and rewarded. As a recruiter however it's about sales! As long as you accept the low pay then you have no one else to blame but yourself... cold hard truth.
