Maxim Testing

[Areumda]

Has anyone tested for a job at Maxim. I have a job interview on Tuesday 08, 2014. Recruiter said it will be 2 hours including an interview. What should I go over to prepare to the interview. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Recently talk with them and found that they are not up front with all you need to know. Like, they don't tell you that you have to do "their orientation" at minimum wage until you are almost out the door. To me, minimum wage is a deal breaker....

If you decide to talk to this company (Maxim) be sure and have your questions ready so no slippery sleazy stuff pulled on you.

I just accepted a PDN position with said homecare company, with full awareness of the 'bad'. At this point in my career, I just need a place to be a nurse. I don't need hand holding, I don't need to be told when I'm doing a good job. I don't expect much of anything from them except to provide me some cases and a paycheck. I'll determine if I'm insufficiently trained or sufficiently trained, I've been around long enough to know myself.

I've spent the last six years working for what probably is an excellent hospital system where every other day I was told how valuable I am as an employee, decent benefits, very fair and professional management. Scratch a bit beneath that surface and it's no different than any other business or corporation. No more 'loving and smoochy' or 'fair' or whatever. I didn't 'need' all that extra stuff, but I most certainly did when years ago when I was building my confidence and career.

At least Maxim is 'honest', it looks like a bare bones kind of corporation, no frills or promises. I certainly didn't get any or expect them either. I no longer feel like I need to be 'incubated' or pampered and padded, just provided work and paid :) What negative I've read or heard has been all about nurse's expectations when they signed up. OF COURSE a company is going to toot it's horn and gather as many money making nurses as they can get their hands on. But the truth is right in front of your face if you want to see it. The gals in the 'office' are cheerful, the Clinical Manager is smart and pulled no punches during the interview, and the nurses I've encountered so far are professional. As long as they pay me, utilize me, and provide basic support and education, I got the rest of it :)

Just want to clarify... While I've heard bad things about maxim, but I have 1 Friend who enjoys working Peds home care cases with them. She said they are flexible with her schedule, as she only wants to work a few days per week.

I personally consider Maxim to be rather sleazy and do not want to work for them.

Agreed

I worked for Maxim in NY many years ago and they were wonderful. In MD. and Fla. HORRIBLE everything quoted in this thread is absolutely true. They have been cited for fraud and embezzlement as well. They are masters of bait and switch.
