Hated it!

I don't even know why I stayed with them as long as I did. There was hardly ever any work. I would ask to be placed on another account for more work, but the other accounts had no work as well?!! No direct deposit. My paycheck was never calculated correctly and it was hell trying to get the money I was actually owed. Having to log every single job you do and every single mistake found in the job plus calculating the line and character count at the end of the day was just ridiculous. I really have nothing good to say about this company.

HATED IT!...nm

I hated SPI
I quit SPI just over a month ago. I hated that place.
I hated it
Didn't make it two weeks. Management style sucked.
I hated it.......sm
But that is just me. too many difficult ESLs, and they make up the majority of that account.....I never liked Docuscribe....
I did not like MT World either and I hated being on IM all day. nm

Ditto, hated it!

Hated their platform, could not
make any money on it. Constant technical problems. I quit.
HATED ExText
Found the same thing. My production dropped dramatically using that system. The cpl rate was great but not worth it. With the time wasted, I could have been earning 1 cpl less and still making more with increased production.
I hated AC years ago, but....
I hesitantly applied for the RAD position. I don't know anything about Rad or Path with them.
I used to work for OSI and hated it
..
My friend worked there and hated them, but
I guess it just depends.
Are you kidding? I hated RadNet!
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Ditto everything he/she said! Plus HATED the time
I hated to have to leave my last job for many reasons.
It was working in-house with great MDs and techs and other clerical people. But I felt the OM was sanity-challenged and I was extremely frustrated by her need to make herself look good and everybody else look bad. If you tried to do anything for the good of the company, she was extremely suspicious of your agenda. I now work for a company where everybody seems to be interested in putting out a quality product in a smart and efficient manner. What a relief to be able to concentrate on work! And yes, I actually took a cut in pay from a great hourly wage. It's a shame to have to do that, but it was better than fuming night and day over work for me.
I absolutely HATED Meditech.
Slow isn't the word! The spellchecker was a total PIA to use and my text Expander wasn't compatible with it either. My company did offer a teensy weensy rate increase but it just wasn't worth it...plus they recalculated the lines on us. Meditech counted 55 characters but our bill rate was for 65 so it was like a double whammy, so what you saw on the screen was not what you got paid for. Total ouch.
When I used Meditech, it was on a dial-up connection and when it dumped (several times a shift), guess what? I lost my work! 100% completely unrecoverable.
Oh the memories still make me wince in pain.
worked there for a month--hated it. nm

Hated it enough to leave a company
that couldn't take the time to use it right. When a company USES it properly, it is not too bad. When they don't bother to have the doc's office fill in the necessary information and then not bother to build the necessary data bases, it is real hard to earn a living.
I hated working for Transolutions
The platform is terrible. I have never in my life struggled getting lines, always getting at least 250 lph, but on that platform, it was terrible. As for United Healthcare, be prepared for your premium to go up with that change because they are very, very expensive. I paid $700 a month at my last company with United Healthcare as the insurance. It was at Spheris, and I left after being employed there for 5 years because of the high insurance premium.
I hated transolutions also... the reason they
have so much work is because they can't keep people to do it. You will receive mountains of notebooks and papers during training to try and figure out, the platform is horrible, they DON'T COUNT SPACE OR PUNCTUATION Keystrokes PEOPLE, tons of data to enter on ADT screen, you have to manually add any doctor that is dictated in the report to the cc list (give me a break), lots and lots of busy work, QA IS A NIGHTMARE. I stuck it out for 2 months just in case the whole thing was just me, but nope, it wasn't, somehow lines just didn't add up. I couldn't get out of there fast enough! I would NEVER work for them or recommend them again!
My most hated dictators are not the ESLs, sm
they are sloppy dictators who talk at the speed of light and mumble but still expect an accurate report. 
You're right that there is a lot of work. I just wish we had a definite payday. It would be nice to know if I'm getting paid on the 4th, the 8th, the 10th or whenever. That would be my only complaint with the place. Otherwise, it is easy work with great people.
Left there last year. I hated the
platform and the dictators and voice system horrible. I was unable to make any money. QA was a draw depending on who you got. Good luck.
hated it, quit after just a few days
because so many things were just plain weird and tons of discrepancies. Some things work with the keyboard, some don't. I could go on.
I worked for them for over 5 years and hated to leave.
I just quit in the last 3 weeks. I loved it there.
They don't hate their employees. As far as your Spheris-specific complaints above, found the exact opposite to be true.
They're not going down the tubes; in fact, they are headed toward taking MQ's spot as #1 in the industry. They are #2 currently.
I had many offers to do QA and even go into management but I preferred to control my income by MTing. I made top dollars with that company and they were always working with me.
I can see you did not have a good experience there. Have you ever enjoyed any company you worked for or have you always had these feelings everytime you left one?
No cherry picking here. I always hated that and love that about
TransTech. Their feeling is that you have to take the good with the bad.
Back in April they did -- hated that platform!!
One of the main reasons I left.
I hated Amphion, lasted 3 weeks
nm
Oracle........I hated it ....soooooooooo slow
xx
Yep...great insurance, but I HATED working for them.
For years I had wanted so badly to work for Axolotl. I was finally hired and found it to be one of the biggest disappointments ever. Left there and never looked back.
I hated YOG. I had horrendous accounts, couldn't get
samples, they called 24/7 wanting me to work extra, even 6 months after I left. I was only there about 4 months and left before Carole sold-out despite saying she would NEVER do it.
My account is on Meditech, which at first I HATED, but now I do not mind so much. sm
You can look up old reports by the same doctor, information about the patient such as lab tests, medications, etc. It just took some getting used to for me.
Like the other poster said, from the email that was sent out the other day, it sounds like they are phasing out part-time people, although I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask, especially if you want to work a shift where they happen to need coverage.
Good luck! 
I used this years ago, first hated it, but once got used to it, it was not so bad. Good luck :)
You will get used to it. Build up a lot of shortcuts, like you are probably acustomed to. I'm sure you'll do fine.
Before you JUMP ON ME, yes, I have done VR with Transtech and absolutely hated it because
I cannot make the same money I can with traditional transcribing and I like to see a good report when I am finished. I am a sole provide for myself and MUST MAKE GOOD MONEY to survive in this world! I am not working for the fun of it. Again, YES, I have given VR a chance with Transtech already -- unable to use expanders/briefs/etc. NOT ENOUGH money to be made with VR -- 1/3 of my line rate, not hardly.
Hated VR. Made less money that straight transcription..sm
I was extremely boring and mindless work. People say they doubled their production/lines with VR. That is true but remember if you make 0.08 straight typing and 0.04 doing VR, you are making the same amount of money. I made about 150 bucks less a month because the dictators were horrible and I had to end up typing almost all the reports over. I will never do it again.
I actually have always hated to be called a typist. I do not just copy type. sm
I am a transcriptionist. 
I did that insurance stuff too. Hated it. Happy to type only 1 voice now

years ago (2001?) someone strongly steered me away from TRX Portland...she hated it. But that's h
d
EDiX ...hated the platform, absent mgmt, no support.
........................................
I hated it there, they sent good accts to India (spheris global). nm

I also worked there. Hated DocQScribe & left after tech person toasted my
s
Really sad where people will readily list places they hated but not name places that are great.
What a wonderful, sharing group of people MTs are. :-(
Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone
love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.
