In Reply to: Does anyone have any thoughts on the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN? Would you relocate to work ..... - PathGuy
I was offered a job there but at the time I wanted to work from home and they only wanted in house. The Mayo system itself is very impressive. I can't tell you how much I hated Rochester though. Hard to find affordable housing for one thing and the most UNFRIENDLY people I have ever seen. From the clerks in the mall to the other people in our apartment and neighborhood, just plain rude and snooty. I have never been so glad to move in my life. Think twice before moving there!!

Rochester....
Never lived there, but visited there a lot - had a friend who lives in that area. You are right about the standoffishness of the people. Not friendly at all.
Also, to the OP - it's coooooooooollllllllldddddddd up there! The ground is usually covered by snow in October and you won't see grass again until April or May.

there? Would you like to work there? Would having worked for a place like this look good on a resume? Just want some opinions here. Thanks everybody!!
:) LOL...well, I was born in CT and lived in OR most
of my life, so I'm a yankee through and through! I lived in SC for 2 years, though, when I was in the Navy, but that's my only southern accent experience. Funnily enough, my first-born son had a southern accent for his first couple years. (He was born in South Carolina.) He would crack me up by saying, I doun't wanna go ta baaayed! I doun't wanna take a naaaayap! Where's my Batmaaayan? I wanna go ta MACdonaud's! :) :)

They do not employ at-home transcriptionists there and have very few medical transcription companies. Because they have National Healthcare, all work is done by government employees in the hospital/clinic. Not sure if Ireland is the same way. I continued to work for a company in USA but they have since sold.
It will be short lived, believe me. nm

I was told because I lived in Fl. I have checked,
xx
Also, when I lived in Manhattan during 9/11 was down for a LONG TIME - no work
and my pay had dropped to almost $14/hour from $25/hour. No phone lines, no work coming in, no way to transcribe.
Gosh, I definitely pick all the wrong places to live!
We've lived your yesterday for 4 weeks straight
Don't believe for one minute that they don't know why there's no work - they just don't want to tell you because you'll start looking for another job. Mass quantities of work don't just disappear without a reason - and that reason is usually profitable to someone other than an MT! How long can you survive getting 4 hours a day (sitting there trying for a total of 12 hours), 6-7 days a week, for 1/3 of your former paycheck? Beware, your occasional day of no work might turn into a whole month of it!
Like somebody said below, this used to be a real job. Not anymore.
They used to be McCoy Business Services. I worked briefly for them when I lived in Louisville. SM
I don't remember anything specifically negative about them. Just that the pay was kind of low and I didn't stay long because of that. The work was okay. Mostly local accounts from the Louisville area.
Sorry, the older I get, the shorter my memory. I can barely remember yesterday!
