Any thoughts on this company? I had them send me app packet this week, looking for some per diem work.I know they have companies all over the country. Thought this might be a good way to check out some other areas of the country! Anyone have any experience with them? I am here in syracuse NY!

I have only heard good things about Maxim, considering i have worked there for a few months now. I enjoy the young atmosphere wheni take my timecards in, nd they all know my name and as questions about my life, its a nice place

I've worked for Maxim and like others have experienced the good and the bad. In general, they are a good company to work for. It is an advantage that they have offices throughout the nation. The key is in establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with your office staff. But this is the key in working with any agency (or should be, sometimes you have to be related to the boss). You can find several comments and threads about Maxim's home health and staffing division on this site. They also have a travel division known as Travelmax. I would recommend trying them out. And I have to agree that the friendliness and concern of the office personnel was a bonus for me. Most of the time, the internal employees I worked with showed a genuine interest in patients and employees. It was a pleasure to take my paperwork to the office.

Nice. Sounds very much like my agency, although not Maxim, but a privately run agency. Our foks all work together well.. office and nurses all work together as a team. I like that a lot. That's the way it SHOULD be.

Guess some agencies don't seem to have that teamwork aspect, from what I read here. That's really too bad.

After I reported to them of an illegal activity that they were doing within 24 hours they took me off of my schedule and that was a friday at 6 pm. The following monday they fired me stating outrageous claims against me. They are a very scummy agency to work for. The offices in Miami are all run by kids who have no degree in the medical profession. Believe me when I say that be careful if you decide to work for this company.

Ditto-where I used to work, there were several investigations for Medicaide fraud and malpractice (clueless nurse let Vent kid die),,,

what part of the country did you work in? There is a forum under www.indeed.com for Maxim go there and read what they have said about them under there. You will be very surprised at how open they are about what the company has been doing.
