The people who are posting most negative posts
have not worked at Focus in a long time. I work there now and think they are great. I have had no problems. Pay is always on time, nobody bothers me, and I always have plenty of work....only work on 1 account.
Try to be less negative? There is only negative here. It is a depressing way to start the day but

the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.
No one HAS to employ you. No one MUST keep you in employment.
As an IC, your unemployment isn't coming from the account of your contracts! It comes from YOUR tax payments!
No negative sm
So......okay. Send her to Andrews, she may as well get a decent education for her money.
Why is everyone so negative?
Life is too short to complain. Just pray about it and it will all work out the way it is supposed to.
negative
is anyone ever positive on this board. you have to draw your own conclusions. you have to look out for number one, yourself.
Negative
Read the contract carefully - you are responsible for covering your agreed upon shift if for any reason you can't work it yourself.
They really just seem to be contracting out the work to other businesses, which is OK I guess, but not very practical for the individual IC.
They may have changed the contract, but when I questioned this and a couple of other items, that's when communication ground to a stop.
not just that she said something negative - sm
they have to prove the content has cost them. and we do have a right to voice our opinion no matter what. like it or not.
Not all positive but not all negative..
At least I stayed busy with them and not sittling idly waiting for work like now.
NEGATIVE POSTS...SM
And your post of being tired of complaining and negative posts isn't a complaint in itself?
I think you just have a negative attitude. Why
Actually, you sound like one of those people who complain about everything. I am really sorry for you. Wish you could be happy too!!
And on top of everything else you have no idea what you are talking about. You have been proven wrong on here at least 2 times.
So your experience was not negative?
I thought they sounded decent until I read these posts, and was disappointed. I don't want to go out of the frying pan and into the fire. The only thing holding me back is I'm not sure I want to commit to FT.
This is how negative things
spread that may not be true. I also work for Sten Tel. Can you please look at the information you have and list the name and address of the company that is listed on the paperwork.
negative posts
It's always good to know what you're getting into before it's too late. There are companies out there that are not even mentioned on this board and those are the ones to work for!
I have not heard anything negative at all. nm,

Why is it that any time an MT has a negative
comment to make about a company or one of its supervisors, it always has to be a disgruntled ex-employee?
Not always a negative thing..
I understand and respect your points made. However, as mid-size MTSO, I no longer include my company name when advertising on some sites. I have placed ads and have hired excellent MTs. The first couple of times I advertised and included my business name, it was obvious that people looked up my website for all the contact information. Then my phone and fax started ringing for days, as well as clogging my email. Granted, many were from MTs, but there was a HUGE amount of unwanted solicitation from countless offshore companies, wanna-be-tell-me-how MTs, insurance companies, coffee companies, to name a few. Larger transcription companies probably have the staff to devote time to this, but I do not. I certainly did not mean to offend you or your abilities in any way.
Negative maybe--but true.
While I worked for the company I was paid about every 4 weeks with it stretching to 6 weeks at one point. Often I had to ask when checks would be sent out. I was never paid weekly---not once.
I agree with parts of your post. There were some very good accounts.
As for my negative comments--they are true based on my experience with the company. Good to hear your experience has been better.
Not all negative on Spheris
I have been employed for 1 year and am a happer camper. It just may not be a good fit for everyone. I hope you give them a chance to decide for yourself.
Absolutely nothing negative.
They really are the best of the best!
not the OP, but yes the insurance is a negative
nm
I also had a negative experience here
She would never commit to a position with me even though I have 20 years' experience. I tried again with her another time and same modus operandi...
With all the negative posted about them can't believe
anyone is consideringn working for them.
Yes, there is something negative said at one point or another about
it is when you have a lot of people saying the same negative things about a company that you must take notice and that is the case with Focus. It is not just one or two people who have had a negative experience. It is about a boat load of people who were recently lied too and treated badly. It is about a boat load of people who all say they are an Indian run company as recent as a month ago.
Why do people insist on turning a blind eye?
My experience was negative
but it was a while ago... so things may be different now.
Not being negative when I say they are out of work
I am simply stating that there is no work on my particular account. Doesn't mean they overhire, doesn't mean their a bad company, just means the doctors haven't dictated! But, no work is still, no work.
I didn't say anything negative. ??
I was the one who said her response to you was harsh. :(
Negative WEBMEDX
I agree with you 100%. They are honestly a totally unreasonable company to please and if you don't personally know someone in their company, you can never count on having a job when the next day comes, because they will let you go, as fast you can turn off a light switch without any reason or notice!
Why so negative about Transcend?
I continue to read negative comments about Transcend. If Transcend was such a bad company to work for we wouldn't have so many dedicated employees. I am NOT a suit. MLS is what I am and what I will continue to be at Transcend. I originally came on board with MDI-FL and the company has only gotten better since merging with Transcend. We have 24/7 support, open door policy with CEO, COO and president, company newsletters spotlighting MLS and their hard work. The company always keeps you in the loop. They will take your calls any time day or night. They do make you feel part of a team. I work closely with at least 60 other MLS and none of us step on each others toes. We all do our work and HELP EACH OTHER and never have problems with making $900 ppp. Only the people that don't want to work or not willing to work will not make productivity. Transcend team leads, managers and SUITS treat us all with respect.
What's up with all this India outsourcing? Yes, I am an American. My husband was in the military for 15 years. I am pro America. Fact of the matter is the work needs to be completed. If MLS aren't willing to work 3rd shift or flex (adjust) their schedules, then the work needs to be completed by someone American, Mexican, Chinese, Indian. There are plenty of hospitals that staff their own MLS yet when they are in jam they outsouce their work to us. Guess what, that is probably what Transcend has to do to meet TAT and not pay penalties.
Change is always hard and not easy for a lot of people but to those of you that work at MDI-MD and do read this message board, don't believe everything you read. Stay where you are. Don't quit your job. Its not as bad as other people are making it seem.
Change always comes bearing gifts.
Do you have negative post radar?
There are a ton of positive posts on here so your theory makes no sense. Your problem is that you don't want to hear ANY negative posts. For some reason you take them a little too personally. What's your stake in it to be that annoyed and only want bliss and happiness? Welcome to the real world.
A negative post may be a "cry for help". Maybe
someone has complained all the way up the chain of command and still nothing has been done, so this might be the last resort. MDI is not noted for good communications with their employees and the team leaders they put in are not improving that situation - in fact, may have made it worse.
Yes, yes, and yes. The only negative, IMO, is the voice quality sm
which could be a lot better on the accounts that I do. Other than that, FC is a great company; staff is wonderful.
Negative posts are allowed. (SM)
As long as there is no language or vicious name-calling, etc., positive or negative posts are allowed.
If you are just coming here to cause trouble, however, you probably should post elsewhere.
If you have issues about posting policy, contact the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com).

Personally had a very negative experience.
Platform - antiquated. Supervisors - a mess. Account - not much better. I was extremely disappointed, but should have posted here first. Generally a negative consensus. I was a hospital employee, which is supposed to be the best, as opposed to their other offer of Diskriter employee. No thanks. Oh, yes, also very old equipment and unstable system. Wish there was a positive I could share, but I don't personally have one.
All the negative posts were removed.
I would have to assume it is because Davis supports mtstars although Davis has never advertised for employment here. They use the 'other' MT job site.
Pay has never been on a timely schedule and comes late no matter what is said differently. There have been many instances of bounced checks. Because of that and problems being able to have work every day, I left there. The pay scale was just re-vamped so I don't know what kind of money can be made. That'll have to be answered by someone else. Maybe with the new payscale payment will be able to be made on a regular, timely schedule.
Things are always changing so who knows? Maybe it would be a good fit. Good luck.
There have been some negative posts about them in the past. nm

Mostly negative posts on a search. nm

Many negative posts about them if you search. nm

I know of someone that had a very negative experience with them and moved on right away. nm

Hmmm... maybe not everyone believes everything negative put forth here
and I know I don't :)
Don't know, but the posts from 2005 about them are quite negative. nm

Seems like you have worked everywhere and have something negative to say about every company out the
a quite a few pages of posts as I have been off the board for a few months and your name pops up with something to say about just about every company.
You must be a wonderful person to work with. I am sure your employers love you and your horrible, the sky is falling, attitude.
Maybe it's time for you to leave transcription and find another field but obviously you hate everything about it. How can you live so miserable all the time?
see negative feeback on Spheris
Read back a few pages and see all the negative feedback on Spheris. Don't see how they could be considered.
Older posts were negative. Not sure why. nm

All those are Negative points in my book! Keep looking, please! nm

regarding negative reviews for Axolotl
Most of the negative reviews from Axolotl are very old. I have transcribed from 14+ years and I have never found a company that even compares.
You might have a couple of disgruntled employees who could not and would not take pride in their work and maintain their quality posting negative things!!!
If you are looking for a good place to work with good benefits and you take pride in your work and can produce quality transcription, then you might want to consider taking a look.
Why couldn't you just save your negative
comments for your own post?
JUST get out of the business if you hate it so much.
Recent posts about them are VERY negative. Might want
