Maxim Healthcare reviews

-corporate bureaucracy -overwhelming pressure to produce sales in high volume over high quality. -lowest salary for a recruiter out there - hands down At Maxim, you're working in a niche market. The only staff we hired are nurses and CNAs. Nurses are truly ungrateful and know that you need them more than they need you. Maxim has tough Margins because so much of their office revenue goes to corporate while recruiters make 15k less per year than they should be and nurses are paid 20-40% less than they would in a comparative at any other agency. The nurses are tough but Maxim gives them NOTHING. No PTO, no guaranteed work, very unaffordable high deductible health plans they can't afford and they lose it if their client is sick or in the hospital and they miss work. Recruiters makes 36k with a tiny commission plan. Usually 100 buck a week. Recruiters do not have a coordinator or scheduler. They act as recruiters, HR managers, care coordinators, schedulers, and operation managers while earning the salary of receptionist. It's truly a shame. It's the perfect entry-level job because you learn more than you ever would have dreamed but take what you learn and get out in favor of more rewarding opportunities. Also, many recruiters want to grow into HR management. Maxim only wants You to become Business Development Managers which is a fancy title for business to business direct sales. The attitude at Maxim is greed and act like commission-only vacuum cleaner salesman when they should be focused on quality care delivery to the patients they serve. They will take nurses from a difficult case to work on a higher revenue case and leave the other client without care and then let them fall off their roster. I've seen it happen many times.

Very low pay, no pay raises because "you are paid at the government rate" There is a high turnover rate in staff. Lots of scheduling problems. They say they have flexible hours to fit your schedules but give you a hard time when your hours don't work with what they have available (which is usually cases nobody wants). Really poor benefits package, have to work there for 5 years before earning PTO, office staff and "higher ups" get Christmas bonus, etc rest of staff do not! Field nurses got a microwaveable soup bowl while other staff got a bonus check. They make you feel like your not an important part of the team which makes me always wonder why they don't realize if it wasn't for the people working in the field they wouldn't have a company. Finally had enough when my new client they offered me lived 43 miles from me but still wanted to pay me at the same low wage.
