Pros

Maxim is a great under the gun training ground for recent grads who dont know what they want out of thier career yet. If you can survive is gives you alot of the skills needed to excel in tough environments. You get a make it happen attitude that will help you in your career now matter what you do after your days at Maxim. Its a fun place to work and if you can balance the work hard play hard mentatlity it will be a great experience. You get a look at corporate america in a small office setting allowing you to get a taste of both worlds and figure out what is best for you.

Cons

Turnover at Maxim has always been an issue to my knowledge. Our group of over 20 had about 99% turnover during 3 years of tenure. Some new hires would not make it past lunch due to the lack of training and immediate pressure to preform when you dont really know what you are doing. Some excel in this model many dont. If you are one of the lucky few to make it past the first 6months you are good for at least another. if you are not promoted within a year your days are numbered and in essence they work you untill you move on.

Pros

As a registry RN, I only work the shifts that I want to.

Cons

Cheapest in the industry on the pay that the nurse receives. The average hourly wage for a TELE trained RN with ACLS and several years experience is $35 - $40 an hour. Maxim only offers $30 per hour. It's a slap in the face and I won't be doing shifts with them. They simply do NOT respect their experienced licensed staff. The whole office has the air of walking into McDonalds: Get ém in, get their credentials, Get ém out. No personalized placement effort is made. And they pay that same insulting $30 per hour regardless if you are a new Med-Surg nurse or a Telemetry nurse with ACLS and 20 years experience. The twenty-somethings working in the office do not even seem to know what the difference is between, Med-Surg and TELE and refer to BOTH as "Med-Surg shifts". They also do not understand the difference between TELE and DOU or any other step down unit. ACLS is just a new burger offered with fries at Larry's Burgers down the street to these inexperienced young ones. Uh...thanks, but I hear my other registry on the line and they have a stepdown DOU unit that needs someone with my experience, training and licensure tonight. And their rate of pay, $36 an hour. So go insult someone else with your way-under-market rate of pay. Oh, and to the clients thinking of using Maxim to staff your facility. Just don't do it! You really DO get what you pay for.

Pros

Depends on the office, but if you have a great Account Manager you can have a great experience and learn a lot about the healthcare industry. The pay is not that great, but there is opportunity to earn more. Base salary is around 35k, but you can easily make 45k - 50k in an average office. This salary range is for a Recruiter. There is a lot of turn over in the organization and the do sell you a dream, that if you stay long enough you will be able to manage your own office. Overall a good first job.

Cons

Poor Account Manager can have a negative effect on your experience. There is a lot of turn over due to the fact that they do not have an incentive plan for longer recruiter level employees. You do not receive merit increases to your base salary for longevity. You are expected to produce your own raises through commission on services provided. The company has been through some growing pains and recently have a better grasp on quality and compliance. The company has been moving towards a more clinical mindset which has impeded growth. I believe that they are still attempting to find the right balance.
