Take the negatives with a grain of salt... they have been very fair with me and *never* miss a payperiod.

I have been there for a few weeks, run out of work often. Other than that, no complaints. NM

I work for Diskriter, no complaints
give it a shot - - can't hurt to talk to them, everyone can say they have had a poor experience at one place or another - -no problems with management, pay, everyone is nice, communicate with other MTs on my account daily, my 2 cents
I work for Spheris, and I have no complaints. SM
I am level 8 (I think there are 10 levels), I make 9.18 cpl. I have been with them for 6 months. Go for it.
I work for JLG and very happy, no complaints! nm

Shortage of work has been a MAJOR complaint....
with all 4 MTs that I know who work at MDI. We are all trying to stay loyal to them, but it seems as though no one is listening and they just keep hiring!! If you have work, you should be counting your blessings, but it is only fair to let those people seeking employment at MDI to know what a lot of us are experiencing.
Are there any companies that don't work the major holidays? nm

Prior complaints of low work loads and only short reports, so struggle to get lines. How about

I work for a major national and starting rate is no where near 9 cpl for acute care. (nm)

Exactly where is the work - too many complaints of no work from many different co. (sm)
I see posts from MQ employees of not having enough work, MDI, WMX, Transcend and others.
It can't all be going to India. Maybe the people with plenty of work are working instead of posting, but I sure wish they would give us a head's up.
What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Sorry. What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
complaints
Sure, if you have a legitimate complaint or a negative observation about a co., you should feel free to post it. But there are a couple of people who's sole purpose for coming on this forum is to find some excuse for name-calling and launching a verbal assault on anybody who has a different opinion. I for one don't give any credence to an opinion expressed in such an immature manner. If you've had a bad experience with a co., vent about it, but don't harp on it for the next 10 yrs. One person in particular has tried to dominate this forum with her constant ranting and raving over her personal experiences and then insulting the intelligence of anyone who claims to have had a good relationship with the same co. Get over it already and give us a break!!!! It's obvious you never outgrew being a bully, but the rest of us are sick and tired of it.
no complaints
I haven't worked for TRS for a long time, just since October, but I have found it to be a great place to work. I think everyone is an employee, but I'm not sure. You have 12 hours to complete 8 hours of work. They require 1000 lines a day and you have 90 days to get up to that speed. Lines seem to come along pretty easily. When it comes to the overseas thing, I think there is a lot of wrong and misguided information out there about it. I am happy with the decision that I made to accept my position with them.
No complaints here
I have worked for Karol for just over a year and I have no complaints. The work is good and steady, pay is always on time, and she is very laid back and easy to work for, nice person. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

SPI complaints
Lick the stamps was just an expression. Of course, I have more to worry about. I'm being fired by them after tomorrow because I'm refusing to sign away my legal rights. I feel it is illegal coercion to force an employee into signing documents against their own interests. The only lawsuit I could ever bring against them would be for terminal unprofessional conduct, anyway.
I had no complaints while there sm
I worked there over a year, had decent accounts, decent pay. I was IC so no idea about employee side of things. As long as you get your lines in there really wasn't a problem. I would get emails a few times a day with updates on account flow. Yes at times they ask for volunteer overtime if swamped but they also pay incentive for those extra lines, and again it was voluntary. My emails didn't get ignored, as some have stated, but I never really had a need to email them often. Good people working there, always ready to help with a sample. They have a private forum so you don't feel totally alone. They are basically split into 2 groups; DSG1 and DSG2. I worked primarily on DSG1 accounts. I did do some work on DSG2 accounts and personally I thought they were horrible dictators, but that is my only complaint. Perhaps see which you would be on before making up your mind. So why did I leave? I was doing PT work for a local clinic and they had an opening for FT. Any other questions feel free to email.
Love it here. No complaints.
Know your ESLs though or look somewhere else. Seriously. The benefits are great, I am never out of work. They hold you to the line count requirements (and why shouldn't they?!)
good luck.
No complaints with Medware
I've worked there almost 6 years and have had consistent work and reliable pay, and I make decent money.
all I see are complaints about Bayscribe
nm
One of my biggest complaints about this job is
dealing with these people and waiting for work to be assigned. They have taken as long as 30 minutes to get work assigned and they obviously can't read. I ask for 20 minutes of dictation and they give me 35. You know, 20 means 20; 22 or 25 maybe, but they take advantage every chance they get.
I just filed complaints to the IRS..........SM
and sent copies of some of these job ads asking for ICs and listing a shift. I am fed up and sick and tired of this.
I see the numerous complaints on here
This is pertaining to work, not my home life but pretty much of a recluse because that is how I like it, love being able to do what I want and when I want. People gripe on here about their companies. I like the place I work for, have no complaints. Most can say we are all in this together. Not me. Others can get lawsuits, try to hold MTSOs responsible for every little thing going wrong in their lives, have at it. Ok, I don’t really live for myself, I have animals around here also that I care for, how about that? Hubs is pretty special also but other than that, work is way down on my priority list.
I started with them recently, no complaints SM
other than the week of training was only on the computer. I started production IMMEDIATELLY. I would have liked at least 3 days of guaranteed pay. It may be different for you being new though. Go for it.
Problems with board or complaints. (SM)
If you experience problems with any operation of the board, or have complaints about the board, etc., please contact us.
You can find the Administrator or Support e-mail addresses by going to the home page and clicking Moderators. You can e-mail myself through the e-mail option on my posts. The Contact page also has a forum you can fill out for problems.
Thank you,

The largest number of complaints (sm)
about companies that I see on this board are for two reasons: 1) Companies that routinely overhire and make everyone fight for adequate work but still insist on line/hour quotas being met; and 2) Companies that don't communicate well -- recruiters that are more focused on selling their particular service than listening to make certain there will be a good fit between service and MTs and supervisors who are quick to send emails to criticize an MT but are frustratingly unavailable when the work volume is low or when MTs have problems that need addressed.
I have made 3 complaints with the online BBB and it
did not cost a cent. It never hurts to try.
Do you think they'd agree with the complaints, even if true?
This is a tough situation for a company. They are really danged if they do, danged if they don't. There will be people on both sides that say that the management rep is lying. If I was a company rep I wouldn't say a word.
any comments/complaints on SurgicalNotes ?
I used the search button, but didn't come up with anything on them.
Been with Webmedx about a month, have no complaints at all ...
I love working for them. Great, user-friendly platform, really good support and PS. Very friendly place to work. Fair pay, very good incentive program (tiered platform). 
Ummmm...all your complaints are basically
While I understand your beefs with the industry, including dictators' quality, its been this way forever and ever. I've been MTing professionally for 25 years now, and my elders before me said things were always this way, back to when the doctors actually dictated in person with the MT taking notes on a steno pad. Every item is the same, including our pay rate! LOL. I find it a challenging career, but would never stay if I made anything near 15K. Despite all the challenges, shaky companies, etc., I still always minimum hit $35K. Not trying to brag, but have no idea how or why you would stick around for that poverty level income. Surely something else would better suit you, even for a short while til retirement? Here's wishing you a Happier New Year.
No complaints here, it depends on the account, insurance not the best NM

working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

Great company... no complaints.. three years and counting....
I just love it. If anyone has any questions, please e-mail me. This is a great place, and as I said many times before - I found a home.
AccuStat in Wisconsin is a great company - no complaints at all - nm

I couldn't find anything specific in the archives. What are the complaints?

MQ has own board because we got tired of hearing the same repeated complaints about them on the
;P
I have to believe there are some major problems
Some key players resigning and all the messing with wages. Makes you wonder. I have quit so I don't have to worry about it.
Wow, that's a major change.
They used to pay $10.00 per hour for the first 90 days and then put you on production. Yikes.
holidays--major ones. sm
Doesn't matter to me--with all the overtime available at Amphion, it's pretty easy to whittle down using PTO to a couple of hours instead of 7 or 8. But more importantly to me is that as long as I don't have to work the major holidays that are most important to my family--Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's--I'm a very happy camper. I was an IC for a long time before Amphion and was able to take my very first vacation in 5 years last year.
It just depends on what is most important to each individual.
They are not a major company, to say the least. sm
For a small company like that, that is probably a good starting rate. Where did you graduate from? Webmedx takes new graduates for more than that.
I think there is a major flaw
in your thinking when you say something like DRC would allow themselves to be smooth talked by a company. I just think that is a very odd thing to say. On the other hand, go on your merry way - it might mean more work for me! And if speaking intelligently and rationally or seeing a bigger picture makes me sound like management then I guess it's better than sounding like someone who has given up on their job before they even know the reality of what is to come or someone making blanket statements and judgments that do little except invite more of the same. I don't know the future. Acusis may well be the new Evil Empire, but until that is revealed to me personally I opt not to assume it to be the case. I guess optimism is a luxury I have; to each his own. I have no fear of finding work elsewhere with my numbers, I just don't see the need to quit before anything has started.
Sorry - its just that I have a major problem with -

12,000 lines? OMG - what a major RIP-OFF!
Most other companies have a minimum of 5500-6000 lines. How dumb does that company think MTs are? Whatta buncha c__p.
Yep, just one more of the lies. Major
account was VERY unhappy when they found out work was going to India, which is one of the main reason they lost it. See what it cost them in the end though.
Yes, the 6 major holidays, but...sm
...usually there is no work at all. I was told that this depends on the account though. And your rate is x1-1/2 is paid for work done on the 6 major holidays.
major transition
I just stopped working for them a couple of months ago and there is a lot going on. It is true that a lot of American QAs lost their jobs, but now the Indian team leads are losing their jobs and they are bringing in all American tead leads and management. I do not believe they are headed for bankruptcy, but just going through a major transition.
Major Vent - fed up
I have been doing this for 12+ years, and I have decided this is a stupid and impossible profession. An MT should not have to go over and over voice files to hear and understand what at doctor says 3, 4, 5 and 6 times to understand what he is saying. If you do, that means he is not interested in making sure you know and understand. This really hit me today. IF a person were talking to you, would you have to ask him to repeat himself over and over again if he really wanted to talk to you? More so for patient care. If a doctor actually cared about making sure that the patient's information was accurate, would he take such risks that the person on the other end would not understand what he was saying?
major vent
I especially like the PAs who mumble and don't even know how to pronounce the medications and believe they are actually MDs
major vent
What's really fun is when they spell the really obvious words and then slur the important ones! Gotta love the docs!
