Maxim Healthcare Services Reviews

Pros

Good experience... It's a good way to get your foot into the door in the professional world. They have high internal turnover, so they are almost always looking for someone

Cons

On call- You have to be available to them 24/7. That really cuts down on personal time and the places you can go. E.g. the movies because the office may call you and need you to solve problems with the schedule. THIS IS EXPECTED OF EVERYONE, EVEN THE NEW PEOPLE

Pros

helping people to be healthy

Cons

lacks organization
expects long work hours for low pay

Advice to Senior Management

Start being more complliant with your own policies. Unprofessional behavior of staff is never challenged becuase they need warm bodies to work.

Pros

Maxim was a great first job for me. Very demanding but plenty of options to move into well-paying roles for motivated new grads and young professionals looking to get into sales. The company is very flat so upward mobility is often a problem when you outgrow your position.

Company has undergone a lot of changes, the culture has been changed entirely as a result of their Corp Integrity agreement. Was a really fun place to work in my twenties and I made a great living.

Cons

New culture is one of fear and compliance.

Really low, almost laughable, base salaries. They say "it is a performance-based" company and they mean it. Salaries havent been truly updated since the early 2000's.

Advice to Senior Management

A lot of Lazy and Cheerleader type Regional Managers. Many, if not most, should be replaced. Some good talent higher up the ranks but there are a lot of unqualified people at Maxim. The company grew at a very fast pace and frankly, Maxim outgrew its braintrust.

Consider the effect that a policy will have, in totality, prior to implementing said policy. Perhaps that isnt possible with your current Government Supervision.

Pros

Great experience for recent college grads.
Learn all aspects of a business

Cons

On Call at least 2 nights per week
At least 10 hour days
Have to be drinking the Maxim Kool - Aid to get a promotion

Advice to Senior Management

Promote on performace

Pros

They provide great training. The office environment is typically young and fun. You are able to reach out to people for help although you might get different answers from everyone. Maxim hires great internal employees. Regional Managers are great as well.

Cons

Long hours, little pay. High turnover. As a recruiter everything will be your fault. You have to learn to accept it and move on. There is a constant battle between clinical versus sales. Now days, clinical will always have the upperhand where in the past it was the other way around. Expect to be on call and have to carry the phone with you everywhere.

Advice to Senior Management

Give the recruiters some more credit. They are the work horses of the company.

Pros

they worked with me to find work closer to my home.

Cons

an deticated and hard woking employee should be compesated for there for there hard work.

Advice to Senior Management

I feel that a employee should be paid according to there evaluations and commitment to there duties.

Pros

Very good bosses and office staff...now that they got rid of a few.
Pay every week
Good support from supervisors

Cons

Low...low pay !
Poor benefits
Not steady work
Hiring process is extremely long and uncertain
Not compensated for the level of skill they require. Want experts for extremely poor pay.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to find cases for all nurses. Stop hiring nurses when so many do not have assignments..that's pointless! Work the nurses you already have. !

Pros

Lots of cool technology.
Some very smart people.
Casual.

Cons

Current CIO has an old boys club mentality and takes a scorched earth policy to change.
They ruined the family atmosphere that used to be the best part of Maxim.
Worst communication and information sharing of anyplace I've worked.
Zero work-life balance.
IT Managers are techie geeks not real managers.
Morale terrible because of layoffs and manager who can't manage. People hate coming to work but leadership doesn't notice or don't care.
They only give you 6 paid holidays a year and the benefits at Maxim are a joke.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay people what they're worth and stop hiring all your friends. Provide clear roles, org structure, expectations, a real performance review process, and meaningful career path. Build relationships with your staff. Don't assume everyone from the previous regime are idiots.

Pros

Good entry level position to learn valuable information about running a business.

Cons

Maxim is in a difficult industry and has not diversified its services to combat a spending freeze on government programs.

Pros

Computer skill training, management stays within professional boundries, negotiable hours, learning opportunities, and performance feedback are just a few of the reasons I enjoy working at Maxim. Being able to work with patients with special needs on an individual basis strengthens my skills, as well as provides a rewarding feeling.

Cons

Currently, Maxim does not offer tuition refunds for higher education in the field of Nursing. However, Maxim may offer RN to Master's tuition refund in the future.

Advice to Senior Management

Communication, appreciation and recognition between office staff and outside-of-office staff has improved over the past year, however, these seem to be the most important concerns I have heard about from others.
