I went through their whole testing bit, got called twice for interviews, once with a guy and then once I passed the test, some lady called me.  They said I did well on the test, but they only offered me 7.5 cpl (5 yrs exp).  I need more than that so chose to not go with their company.

Hi! Does anyone happen to know if you can switch from employee to IC at Medware?

Also, if you are an IC, what time frame do you have to do your work?

THANKS!!

I agree - the management nominates themselves and then they vote for themselves. Medware has some very active members in AAMT.

Medware also offshores in a very big way. You can run a check on Google for Medware India to see for yourself.

Has anyone worked for both companies and could tell me which is better?  Trying to decide which company is better.  The offer is about the same for both, benefits seem about the same, so just trying to decide who is the easiest to get lines with, easiest to work with, etc.  I have looked through the archives and good and bad about both, so not sure what to do.  Thanks in advance.

And I'm doing a pretty heavy ESL account.

I worked at Medware for 2 years, with 15 years critical care experience.

My primary account was outsourced while I was spending my own time creating templates for it, not knowig the account was in the process of being outsourced..  As the work dwindled, I inquired, only THEN to learn the account was being transcribed by Medware India.

Medware India...ever see that in any of their ads or hiring information? 

And for a company to receive an American Employer of the Year award while outsourcing work, to me is professionally offensive. 

 If for whatever reason one is not happy, leave.  If happy, stay.  It is as simple as that.  I left...

Any information on Medware and what they are like to work for??

Missy:

thanks for your reply. What else can you tell me about them. I was offered a position for part time and I am considering taking the position. Is there platform easy or clumsy? Do you get a lot of ESL dictators? Thanks in advance.  Lucy

Can you tell me if they use MS Word or WordPerfect?  I would like to use Smartype for WordPerfect 5.1.  However, my current company uses MS Word with a size 10 font.  It's so small that you have to increase the page size to 150%.  But when you do this, the right-hand side of the page gets cut off.  Plus you have to remember to put it back down to 100% when you're done with the job.  Their word Expander has NOTHING in it.  When I asked about that, I was told that way, the MTs can personalize their own program.  How stupid.  You can personalize SmarType all you want PLUS you already have thousands of words already loaded.  The Word Expander they use has ZERO words loaded, so you spend half your time stopping and making your shortcuts and THEN have to be sure they are spelled correctly.  So if you're not sure of the spelling, you have to look it up, and this takes MORE time.  So I really am not happy with this company.  The people are nice, but nice doesn't help me make 1000 lines a day.  The tech guy is going to try to load SmarType for MS Word, but he told me there is no guarantee it will work because of the typing platform they use.  So now I'm looking for a company  that has a good number of normals (this one doesn't), will let me use SmarType and will not have the problem of running off the right-hand side of the page.  Maybe I'm asking for too much?  I don't think so.  Their doctors do not dictate clearly.  There honestly is not one good thing to say about them except that my supervisor and the tech guy are nice.  But that doesn't bring in a decent paycheck.
