Pros
Steady pay. Health insurance. Honestly, I am trying to reach the 20 word minimum for this section but there really are not that many pros of working here.
Cons
As a recruiter you are salary and paid for 40 hours, you are expected to work a minimum of 50, 8am-6pm. Don't let anyone lie to you, that's what you will be working. There is NO lunch break, you have to be assertive and say you are leaving to get something to eat but you will be eating at your desk. Or you won't be eating at all. Now for me, I am a recruiter but in title only. I spend maybe 5% of my day if I am lucky recruiting. Most of your day is spent dealing with call outs from workers and appeasing angry families. If I'm not dealing with scheduling then I become a referral taker which consumes a great deal of time. About two months in I was handed the flu and wellness program with little to no advanced notice and training. This is a job in and of itself and extremely time consuming. Bottom line you will be doing the work of 3-4 positions with the joy of only 1 poor salary.....Moving on. ON CALL BEWARE DO NOT LET ANYONE LIE TO YOU IN THE INTERVIEW PROCESS. If you are a salaried position you will be taking on call. I can only speak for my office but our set up is on one week off one week. It is 24/7. You will receive calls in the middle of the night at 3am and you have to answer!!!!! All weekend your phone will be ringing, and you Will be taking work home with you. I was completely lied to about this aspect until I did a pit sit and another recruiter was nice enough to be honest with me. On call will ruin your work life balance. Next.. The state of my specific office is in compete disarray, several people in my office are extremely rude and disrespectful, and when it was brought to upper management their response was very insulting. In closing. This review is intended to reflect my experience with Maxim in my office. With that said when I was sent to recruiter training almost every other recruiter there had the SAME exact stories and experience. If you were like me and needed a job at the time to break into the field I understand what your going through. Just BEWARE what you are getting yourself into and go in with an exit strategy. I am happy to say I found a better paying job with better hours. So next week is my last week with this company. I hope you this review helps you make the right decision.
