... is an understatement. I would pull some of those jobs that had beentranscribed in India and there were some that had entire sections crossed out and retyped because they were wrong (and scary wrong too - wrong medications...). The hospital I used to work for uses them and when I still worked at HealthScribe India was doing this hospitals discharge  summaries. I refuse to use that hospital because I know the transcription will be of very poor quality andI refuse to play games with my health and the health of my loves ones.

they are a good company.  They weren't for me because I am used to working my own schedule.  They require you to work specific hours (usually you can choose them) and I just couldn't do it with 2 small kids.  (If something comes up you can e-mail them and make up the time later.)

They provide all equipment.  Their QA staff is really great - positive and helpful.  You will most of the time get your QA stuff back within a few hours - always within 24 hours.  Their platform is easy to use.  I worked on quite a few accounts while I was there and they were all pretty decent.  One had some crummy ESLs as the majority, but I didn't work on it much so can't say if it would have gotten better with time and adjustment on my part.  (I usually adjust just fine to ESLs - these were mumblers as well)

They do have good benefits and you can accumulate PTO, which you can use at any time you wish - all or part of it.  So if you just need extra money one pay period, you can ask them to add it on.  You can also check your balance of PTO at any time.  Also, they have direct deposit and pay is always on-time - without exception.  They also mail you your stub and it always came exactly on time.  Also, the payroll person is very accessible for any questions, etc.  She even sent an e-mail out to us once because the paystubs (direct deposit was already in the bank) were late and she wanted to apologize - she had used a different post office.

The other thing that was a drawback for me, but you may not mind, is they do send out a lot of e-mails with account updates, asking for help, etc.  That's not so bad but it was 3-4 time daily thing and they started getting to me.  However, they do also offer bonuses quite regularly and other incentives too.  They do believe in motivation and recognition for those that go the extra mile.

Also, they do quarterly reviews and do value quality work. 

They are a good company overall.  I know you will see various opinions on this board about them, but the only 2 negatives for me were as above - the e-mails and the set hours.  Honestly, though, if it weren't that I was so bogged down with my children's schedules, I would have stayed with them.  If you can handle those things, then the positives outweigh the negatives. 

QA people, some of which were hired only a few months before they were fired, and they just now fired a lot of their upper management.  Something is in the wind at Focus and it smells like crap!  Don't work there.  If you do decide to ignore the warnings, don't believe anything they tell you!  They lie to you right up until they call and fire you.
