High turnover of MTs. Inconsistent workload. SM
Posted By: BTDT on 2008-08-27
In Reply to: ScanMed - Any Info? - Just Me
I have a friend who works there. I've resisted the urge to join her because she hates it, but it pays well. The owner can't seem to manage workflow and threatens MTs with cutting them off if they don't work extra. Now that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I don't need the hassle. Proceed with caution.

Friend is with them. Workload is very inconsistent, even before the holidays. nm

High turnover.......
I live in New Jersey and this is a not a good company to work for....read the old posts about this company in the Archives. Not a good company....
Very high turnover....
They always keep running the same ad every 3 weeks or so, so that should tell you something about them. I did not like testing for them at all, so I just gave up! Horrible dictators.
Very high turnover rate at this company (sm)
You have to ask yourself why do they lose so many employees. This is not an MT oriented company. I would say that they constantly advertise because they regularly lose MTs.
Actually, a high turnover rate more likely means
that the GOOD MTs are staying put and the MTs who had to cheat on their test and/or lie during their interview, have no experience, or are just job hoppers tend to run off when they can't hack the accounts they have been assigned.
Reason for high turnover of MTs I guess

I agree with what you said, high workload
all the time. I could work 24 x 7.
A high turnover rate means all the good MTs
leave and only MTs left at the company are probably the ones who had trouble getting the job they have let alone leaving to find a new one. That's what a high turnover rate means. Not to mention, why would anyone want to work for a company with a high turnover rate? Something's wrong if people keep leaving.
It's called logic and deductive reasoning. And some people in this neck of the cyber woods are sorely lacking in both.
How do you know there is high turnover? The companies I have worked for get new accounts. sm
They hire because of having more work, not because their current MT's are leaving.
Some of the companies hire constantly because of turnover but most do because of growth.
The BS that MQ has done over the past few years has opened up a lot of new business for many good companies and it looks like that will continue for a while until CBay either runs it to the ground or converts all the accounts they possibly can.
High turnover rate? I don't think so. I have worked with the same group sm
for the past 2 years and the only change has been that the account got busier and 5 or 6 people were added. Keystrokes is a great company, and they do a lot for all of us.
High turnover rate with good reason; email for info.

Good luck. If you can live past their inconsistent
you'll next have to worry about running out of work.
Overhire, inconsistent work flow..Been there doing that. Cant afford to stay.
Need I say more..
I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

also seem to have turnover as well - nm

Thanks! I wonder if the keep their MTs or have a big turnover. Seems
like people dont stay very long.
Heavy turnover
Big turnover on this account. They constantly advertise. Look elsewhere.
Is this a new account or just turnover etc?
?
They have a huge turnover in office as sm
well as MTs. Someone gets fired at least every 3 months. Big into power game playing. Do it this way or else. Yes, very disorganized and someone is talking behind your back all the time.
Major turnover with new pay scale...
hmm...I wonder why!
They offshore. They lie. They have enormous turnover.
Mainly because people don't heed the warnings and work for them anyway and then end up quitting right away because the warnings were right.
They employ somewhere around 900 American MTs and around 3800 Indian MTs. They had a big shake up back in may and fired a bunch of QA people and some management people as well. My facts are straight as I got it straight from the horses' mouths.
Focus has a tremendous turnover. Their
management/tech support is largely Indian. I would not put Focus on my list of companies to consider.
Anyone currently working for DSG know if they have a large turnover of MTs there and how is it
to work there at the present time. Just looking!
Workload
I work at Cymed and I have never run out of work. Do H&P, consults, DS, etc. for a hospital account. Not sure if it depends on your account or the office you work out of, but I have always been able to get my lines in. And they pay on time, direct deposit, which is always GREAT. Good luck with your decision.
MDI-MD workload
I honestly have never run out of work with MDI (2+years). My primary has been quite busy. The owner told us they had 3 new accounts starting in April, so I would guess that is what you are waiting for. I'd give it a while longer--they really are a great company.
How's the workload there?
It seems I keep hitting walls with companies that don't have enough work for me.
workload
I also work for Scan. I don't think there is a shortage of work. It seems like she is always asking for people to work and when they don't she has to adjust the amount of work that comes from the client. It's like people want to work only when it is convenient. I personally thnk she should get rid of the ones that don't do their required lines and find people that actually want to work.
Thanks, TT...How about workload?
I would rather sacrifice a little in the pay department in exchange for a reliable employer. Is there always plenty of work?
Workload
I don't know what region the OP works in but I have accounts in three different regions and there has not been a no work situation in many months. usually they are asking people to work overtime. Sometimes it might be light for a day or 2...Like last week (not in my primary) but I saw in my secondaries that work was a little lighter than usual but I figured it was people taking the last vacation of the summer as I know in the south and west kids started school and here in NY college started this week. This week, back to OT.
Ever changing workload
If those people had any clue what they were doing, things would not be the way they are.
Have you ever worked for a company who suddenly sends out an email that says -we got a new acount- -it's already been added to your pool- -here are the account specifics- ...and has done this repeatedly with no warning whatsoever.
No human can keep all of those account specifics straight. If they had a brain, they would divide up those accounts and lessen the number of accounts in the MTs pools. In other words, if there are 100 MTs, put 3 accounts in 50 MTs' pools and the other 3 accounts in the other 50 MTs' pool. Does this not make sense?
They are so thoughtless and inconsiderate...will assign jobs to you without telling you or asking you if it is ok to do so, and then will send an email ordering you to stay on the system until you have completed all jobs assigned to you.
Unbelievable! I'm outta there as fast as I find something else. Hate it...hate it...hate it.
How's the workload at QT this week? NM

Not a good workload at all EVER
This company overhires too. All the good dictators are assigned or MTs choose those over the hard ones. All the crap is left. They are flexible, but as the saying goes, early bird gets the worm and if not, you WILL not have work.
Is the workload picking up at MDI yet? nm

Transcend Workload
I've been with Transcend 5 years. We get 4-hour updates on our individual accounts including the number of jobs available as well as the number of MTs assigned to each account for that day. I just checked. There are 20 jobs to be transcribed with a total of 12 MTs available to transcribe. Do the math. There is never enough work to keep your benefits for full time.
Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.
Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
One word, they do not monitor their workload
Simple thing to do, then everyone would have enough work, but they refuse. You will never have enough work, they do not care, they just want the work done. You are just a number, they will promise you the moon, and definitely not come through.
Oh great, just what I want to get rid of. I am looking for a steady workload. nm
:
Yes, editing (Escription) workload has been very low.
I agree with you there and if that is what everyone is talking about, yes definitely. The rest of the accounts are not slow. However, Transcend does have a lot of editing for people that want to edit. MDI doesn't specialize in it, so when Escription is slow - there is not a lot to fall back on.
Low workload 70% of the time and was told
NM
I meant a consistent workload.
Sorry, it's been a long night at the computer. I should have caught that.
Are there any companies with consistent workload?
No matter how many accounts I get, there never seems to be enough work and now, with the holidays almost here, all of my accounts are picked bone dry. Bah humbug.
Has the workload at MDI picked up for anyone? My accounts are still really low. nt

Don't know about turnover but new clients coming on board - GREAT company
It is not FutureNet's fault for the problem with workload..sm
They have a priority to their clients - get the job done as quickly and professionally as possible. They had hired sufficient amount of employees many months ago and was told that everyone was not helping out like they should. I, for one, happen to have fallen into that category due to family illnesses and some problems of my own. So they were forced to go out and hire enough people for coverage. I was not one to complain, because I had no right, about the overhiring. The work was there and we had a chance to do it. Bottom line - everyone was not doing what they were supposed to be doing for one reason or another. So it was our own faults that the overhiring or whatever reason it was. This time I am not letting that happen. I don't know what has changed the circumstances for their to be plentiful amount of work lately but I like it and I am going to do everything in my power to keep the work going steady and not be delayed. We all have to do that. Actually instead of complaining about them we should be putting that energy into our work and we would see a difference.
Otherwise, they are great! They understand problems when they occur. Also, pay has NEVER been delayed or wrong in the whole year I have been with them. They are professional and always there to answer any questions that you need. QA gets back to you if you request a report to be sent to you for future reference. And the staff that they have to coordinate everything is NOTHING BUT THE BEST!
So, if you are complaining about them I feel that we would have never been in the situation we were for the past several months if we ALL had not done our job like we should have.
Again I, for one, feel like I had let them down somewhat, even though most of my problems were uncontrollable so I am now going to show them that I can be the dependable MT that they once hired. Let's all work on that together so we won't have this problem again.
Not being rude with the above post - just hoping that my co-workers will work together so we can have plenty of work but get done ontime. Hope no offense was taken. 
How is workload at Futurenet and income potential? sm
I will soon be starting with Futurenet and I wanted to hear from some of the current Futurenet MTs. Thanks for all the information. You may e-mail me privately if you wish.
Dictaphone controls Transtech workload, for the most part.
If you search, you will find plenty of recent info on Transtech.
I meant your WORK or WORKLOAD. Gads, need more coffee!

Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
Workload has reached a manageable level with everyone working scheduled hours.
Voluntary OT is still available on some accounts.
