Horrible experience at Meridian

In Reply to: Meridian - Wondering
What you have heard about the owner is all true. She is nice as pie one minute and then evil the next. The QA process is horrible. You have routed work and will not have it when you need it. I have to say the system was okay but that is it. Oh, if you do not send your time sheet in on time or you do and they say you didn't, expect not to get paid. Run!!!!

horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.
That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
I'm considering TRS now. What was your horrible experience?
n.m.
My experience with them was horrible, too.
I was also told the same thing by the rude woman. If you don't like it, quit. We only want people here who meet our needs. We need weekend editors for the offshored work and people to work the night shift AFTER I was hired to work days. Merit sucks, too. I'm so glad I got out of there and found my new company.
8 cpl as an IC is horrible for any MT with experience.
That's equivalent to about 6 cpl as an employee with benes. No thanks!
My recent experience with them was horrible.
There are a couple of MW cheerleaders here who bash me every time, but there are far better companies out there. They offshore. The sound quality and ESLs suck, for lack of a better word. I got ZERO QA feedback. They send out tons of emails and documents that don't even apply to everyone. They were completely rude and unhelpful to me.
Had a horrible experience with this company and could not with a
clear conscious recommend them. Check archives or scroll back to November for details.
Most horrible experience in my life! nm

Same experience...awesome to work for, horrible platform..sm
I've been an MT for close to 20 years and am most productive on ER accounts where I can create my own templates and Expanders out the ying yang. After 2 months and the worst line counts of my entire career, I had to move on. I do want to point out that PM does have some of the nicest, most helpful staff I've ever worked for! The platform is the ONLY reason I left.
I had the same experience. Horrible account, nonexistent communication. What's wrong with these
nm
Horrible, horrible, horrible place. Unlike the other poster
I actually worked there. Sound quality is horrendous. The account I had was the worst ESL I've ever had and I do 85% ESL so I have no problems doing ESL. Frequent management turnover. When I was doing QA the work was so bad that I pretty much had to redo every report. I hear about how well they pay, but they don't pay that well and certainly not enough to compensate for all the other stuff.
Worked there 2 years ago..horrible, horrible, horrible.
Would totally avoid them at all costs.
SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm
nm
Horrible accounts, horrible sound quality, etc
The only time SoftScript would not be wonderful is if you aren't doing your job. They are an extremely professional company. Sounds like someone may not have lived up to their standards.
Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.
Horrible company, horrible dictators, ESL
at its absolute worst, sound quality horrible. The MTs I did QA for were horrendous. They made up words, obviously didn't use a spellchecker, couldn't get the hang of something as simple as copying and pasting Preop diagnoses to postop diagnoses and would type same again and again. QA manager would send out updates for new drugs, equipment and have things misspelled, frequently got e-mails that evidently were sent because someone wanted to feel important, absolutely no useful information, management problems, lots and lots of turnover, including management. The CEO has no clue about transcription and is in it for the money. After talking with him you feel like you need a shower.
Horrible platform. Horrible communication.
Horrible people who say one thing and then when you do what they say, they get mad and act ugly.
Enough of a bone?
Meridian
Okay, I've checked the archives on this company and I am coming up with both good and bad. They've offered me a job and the pay is more than anybody else has offered. What does anybody know about their internet-based platform called Med Write (spelling?) XL? Please tell me what you know and help me make an informed decision. Thanks to you all for your input.
Meridian HCS
How is this company to work for? Do they have good benefits, pay, dictators? How is the management and communication?
Meridian
I worked for them for a short time and it was awful. The accounts were not as wonderful as they made them out to be and if you don't do exactly what they ask, they get nasty with you. I say keep looking.
Meridian
Well, I have been here a few months and I honestly love it. Everyone is helpful and yes they are a bit picky, but it has been a great learning experience. Yes, work is slow in the beginning on the 5-report system, but it worked out great for me. To each her own ...
meridian
So, do they harrass you about not meeting quota? I really don't need benefits, but they did offer me a nice line rate. I know a few folks who are working there and are pretty happy. I just don't want to be constantly harrassed (I can stay at MQ for that :-)
Meridian
Pays great if you can tolerate the *itchy office staff. Worked for them and left because of how they treat the people working for them. Too many Other great companies out there. Good luck!
Meridian
Thanks for your comment but for my sake and one other MT who is considering, can you comment further on itchy staff? Sure would appreciate it.

It is extremely flexible. You submit a schedule to them weekly marking what times you will be working. You can work anytime of day/night/whatever. Full-time requirement is 12,000 payperiod (2 weeks). Not sure about part-time. They higher newbies and they pay is pretty good.
Meridian
Do they hire part-time employees? Do they pay more than 7 cpl to start?
meridian
I don't know if they hire PT, but they do pay more than 7 cpl.
Meridian
Great company. Good pay, good QA, pay always on time. MedRite is easy to use, ESLs depend on the account, but not a high % of ESLs.
Meridian
Could you e-mail me, please? I would like to ask you some questions about this company, if you would be willing to talk to me. Thanks!
Meridian
Most of the accounts use Med Rite, easy platform, QA is good, they expect good work-2 weeks of paid training if needed, decent benefits, good company overall.
Meridian
I worked for them. They have HORRID communication and don't treat emplyees well. Feedback is all but ZERO. There are better copmanies out there...
Meridian
Cannot speak from experience, but just heard from 6 MT friends they are all promises until you are hired........then very, very rude, if not down right nasty!
Meridian HCS
If this is the same company, based out of Indianapolis, IN, it doesn't appear they have a website, however, it does appear that they are a member of the Medical Transcription Industry Association -
http://www.mtia.com/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=39
There is a valuable link - it lists all companies that are members as well as provides links to those companies with websites.
HTH,

Meridian
I am unimpressed as well. Very unprofessional.
Meridian
I sent you an email!
JAG where are you from? Meridian here.. nm

MERIDIAN
Stay away from Meridian!
Meridian
Anyone have experience with Meridian. Good or bad? I saw posts regarding the owner and negative QA experiences.
Meridian
I have worked there well over a year - never a late paycheck. It's always in the bank shortly after midnight on payday.
I haven't found the perfect place to work, but Meridian is quite good.
Meridian
I'm there, I'm glad I'm there, I can make good money, I have a flexible schedule, my managers are wonderful, QA is great, pay is always on time. I've heard the stories about the manager. I had one instance where she was rude to me, but that has been worked out. The tech guy is iffie, too. He knows his business, but sometimes he can be difficult to work with. On the other hand, he can usually fix whatever it is that needs to be fixed. There is no place that has 100% satisfied employees, but I'm satisfied and I'm happy. If you know your job and do what you are supposed to, it can be a great place to work.
Meridian sm
Does anybody have anything new on this company. I heard a lot of bad things in the past about the manager.
I noticed the contact person on the jobseekers board is a different name than usual. Did the other person leave?
Meridian
I have been with Meridian 3 years. I am always busy, get paid on time, good account, vacation. I don't use their insurance, so I cannot comment on it. The tech guy is a bit of a pain, but don't have to deal with him too often.
I can't speak for the other companies.
Meridian
Has anyone worked for Meridian and did you like the company?
Meridian
I currently work there and would recommend them. They offer great flexibility in scheduling. However, there is not a lot of communication between staff and MTs. They don't really provide any training, so if you are a new grad, I'd look elsewhere. QA staff are very nice.
Meridian HCS
Does anyone know anything about this company, good and bad?
Thanks.
Meridian
I worked there and they put me on 2 accounts immediately, not good accounts and the QA was terrible. Also they didnt pay me for my last check. Not good company at all...
Meridian....
I have worked for them for about 6 months now and I love them. Great people to work with. QA staff really nice and helpful. Good pay and direct deposit always in on time. Great accounts also. Flexible shifts, just meet line counts. I think you would like it there.
Meridian
Does anyone know if Meridian is still around?
Meridian
Hello - Does anyone work for Meridian currently? I have looked in archives but most everything is older there and was just wondering what kind of place it is - Stable?
Meridian does VR.
It says on their home page that VR is part of their core strengths.
RE:Meridian
After having tested and interviewed, told I would start ASAP, two months later they finally got me started. They call you if you are two minutes late logging in, they take their time answering any questions. The sound quality on the account I was on was horrible, the dictators are horrible and the QA was never the same twice. I'd stay away if I were you.
Yes Its the same Meridian
It is the Meridian Healthcare in Indianapolis area. Yes, it WAS a fairly local acocunt. Yes, it is now gone. Yes, the boss was a real witch to me when I had been a great employee with great QA scores for over 3 years.
