Maxim Healthcare

Is this your company?

My time at Maxim taught me how important good management is for a company to run well. It starts at the top. - Personnel Coordinator Maxim Healthcare Employee Review

Pros

-Met a few good people, and still keep in touch with them. -Paid once a week, every Friday. -It was close to my house.

Cons

I was completely overworked and underpaid. Since I was hourly, they wanted to cut down on my overtime. I was told by upper management that my job wasn't that hard, and shouldn't take me that long to do. Then more work was piled on, so I had to do more work, and had less time to do it. At one point I was reprimanded for taking a 40 minute lunch at a nearby restaurant, and I was told if I wanted to take a lunch and sit down at a restaurant, I had to first ask if that was okay. Otherwise, my coworkers and I were expected to eat at our desks and work through lunch, considering the phone never stopped ringing. The nurses that we staffed were completely underpaid as well, so we ended up having to hire nurses that were under qualified. Those patients deserve better nurses and better care. We were expected to staff all shifts all the time, and hire multiple nurses every week, but they created a hiring system that made it very difficult to get people hired. Lots of red tape and frustration. It felt very counterproductive, and pointless. It has a very high turnover rate. Within 16 months of working there 7 people left, including me. After I left 2 more did as well. Benefits are not good. Very high deductible - covers nothing until the deductible is met. I was very sick at the beginning of the year and had to get a prescription. It cost me $226, and that doesn't include what I had to pay for the office visit.

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.
