Pros

Flexibility as registry nurse. Paycheck

Cons

Management/ Recruiters do not have a good working realationship with Nursing Staff. Shifts cancelled and not communicated with nurse. Staff will double book the nurse at two different hospitals and take the highest "bidder" then call the low bidder and tell that facility that the nurse cancelled. Then the staff would call the nurse and say the hospital cancelled but they have another shift for them. A friend of mine got DNR'd (do not return) at one facility because they thought she was a flake. Staff at that hospital called her up and asked why she had been cancelling so much. Thus the investigation began exposing Maxim's unethical practices that destroy the nurse's hard earned reputation. Pay is lower than average. Do not treat the nurses with respect but are condescending and insulting. Will schedule you to work when it is your day off then try to harrass you into taking the shift. The list goes on and on. Transferred offices, same treatment.

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.
