Worst experience of my life!!!! I considered
I went to work there and management put me through the ringer, literally. Please, do yourself a favor and find another company.
Spheris was the worst experience of my life!
Horrible, HORRIBLE accounts, and no one to speak with if you encounter trouble - just voice mail! I didn't even give them 2 weeks notice because it was such a waste of my time, which I have never done before with any job that I've had. I wish you the best of luck in your job search. After 7 years of service, they should treat you better than that.
The exact same experience I had. Had the worst ESL dictation I've had in my life, was in tears NM

My worst experience ever was with her.
Isn't it funny how some find a home where others run? Maybe it was timing. Who knows? I would not recommend taking a job with her but sounds like some are quite happy and treated well.
Good luck!
Worst experience of my career.

Most horrible experience in my life! nm

I so agree, in my experience some of the absolute worst MTs
were the ones with all the so-called experience! Obviously that says a lot for where they had worked. I have heard too often many companies do not do any type of random evaluations or spot checks on the MTs or that the QA department is short-staffed or not so great themselves...so there's a couple of possible reasons.
I worked for this company and it was the worst experience of my career.
I would advise you to search the archives on this board. You will be able to make your own decision based on that info.
horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.
That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
Getting the worst shift and worst work are two different things...
If you are new, you may not get the best shift, but everyone should share in the difficult work. No one person should be stuck with ESLs because they are new. Maybe the new hires won't get first pick of holidays...things like that, but shouldn't get stuck with all ESLs. Doesn't make sense.
Worst of the worst...I agree with RUN
Please - don't learn the hard way! You will only waste your time and run the risk of not making anything to boot unless you have a relative who is a big city lawyer. Under the sugar coating is something very bitter.
Please do not go there. It is the worst!

MDI-FL is the worst of them all.

Worst than the 1st one, can't believe she did it again!
nm
I don't think it's the worst
If you're fast, you might just make production.
No they are not. They are the worst

Worst
Transcription Relief Services. It may be better now, but was absolutely the worst when I was there.
WORST ESL
Ever and the first time I transcribed one, I was given 91% QA on the document. Not to happy about that.
DSG IS THE WORST EVER!!!
Another company who starts off great and then turns nasty! I planned on retiring from there in about 10 years. I actually worked for them for more than 3 years. With their massive expansion a few months ago came really rude e-mails or no response to questions, being switched on accounts with VERY different specifics endlessly, IM messages to interrupt your day for their endless *emergencies,* etc. I produced big time for them and had an outstanding QA record. They abused my good nature one time too many. I am happy where I am right now. THEIR loss!!
DSG for sure is the WORST...
I like when management BEGGED us to go on MTstars and post positive things, because they are getting bashed so badly... and I know for fact that one of the higher ups told me that she goes on and posts and changes her initials... so all of this happy, feel good stuff is probably from the people at the home office...
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Nasty, rude, unprofessional.
I spent most days watching TV because there was supposedly no work, and when I quit they screwed me out of the money that they agreed to pay to ship their equipment back.
EVIL
You need to get a life.....
I guess you had a bad experience, but that says nothing for the more than 400 MTs who are happy at OSi. I don't understand why you spend so much time running down a company instead of being a productive citizen. What you give comes back to you in the future. NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE.....I hope you are happy in your life because the reflection here shows some real issues you probably need to work on.
Get a life.
I too have "worked" for them, as a slave I might add. I work my tail off and do not get paid what I should. You, apparently a company suck up, get paid what you deserve. Some of us do not. You are not in the know. I am looking elsewhere as we speak because I cannot and WILL NOT take it any more. Get a life. It is not just me as other people have the same complaints. Unless you WALK in our shoes just SHUT UP.
You must have no life. No wonder lol
/
me get a life?
ha ha ha ha. That's original!! Spelling police?? You have such an original way with words!!!! Things that make you go hmm? What year was that? I am so laughing and laughing.
Sure, but I have a life too..
get a life
.
You are the one with no life
I have not been on this site cheerleading for this lousy company for the past year.
Get a life...
You don't know me from a can of paint. You don't know the OP either, so get over yourself. CHEERS!
you think i have a life?
hah!, work, eat, walk 2 miles and do it again :) but really, its fun still. i never even filled out any 'stuff' about me really. but when you get 30 or more people on there that have a little something to share, it doesn't feel like we're boring !!
Run for your life!
The cornerstone platform is the worst I have ever worked on. I have just found another job and will be leaving in about 2 weeks. Keep looking, you will find a better company.
set for life
Wow, I know that when I went to school and got started doing this job, I didn't think I wouldn't being doing it for a good company. I wasn't educated on scam artists, and thief's in this business. I never start any job thinking I am going to do a half XXX job, and leave work undone and so yeah, I put in all the hours that it required to get the job done, I didn't get paid for my work, I got ripped off. I am not a negative person, I set out to be successful, happy, and yes SET for life. I'm sorry that you don't agree with that, but that is why people have 401K plans,and retirement funds and buy a house.
take over your life is right.
I spend most of my day doing this work. They say come back later in the day when there is work. You get a few hours off, but you can't plan anything.
Oh, I DO have a life
A quite wonderful life, because I do WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO EARN AN INCOME TO KEEP MY FAMILY AFLOAT.
I don't post on here to complain that wow, my job is so wonderful that I just HAD to waste interviewers' time and perhaps push another NEEDY MT out of the running but I had to turn down a job because it required I work a weekend day.
Get a grip. The post was complaining/whining/whatever you choose to call it. If you're in a position to turn down a 'wonderful' job, more power to you, but don't get on here and complain about having to do so.
The only objection I have is that she should have put the name of the 'wonderful' company so someone willing to work and put in the hours and schedule could have applied.
Perhaps YOU need to get a life...a life where you have bills to pay, are the sole breadwinner, and don't waste the time of MTSOs and try to push other MTs out of the running for apparently kicks and giggles, since she's so happy at her current job.
Sometimes I'm totally amazed by the ignorance on this board and whom people choose to side with or against. Guess it must depend on the lunar cycle or something.
*Eye roll*
It is not "THE WORST"!
Please, give it a try. I love it and I work out of the Dallas office. I have a couple of friends that have worked out of other offices and were not exactly thrilled, but I think the Dallas office is the best.
Definitely the worst at communication!!
If you have problems, oh well.. If you have a complaint, oh well... If you check is always penalized, oh well... If you have realized that the line counts NEVER add up with ANY program, oh well.. Now, you get the idea. They could care less. There is a reason why people from other countries should not run an American business. They have no idea what your saying or care and you cannot get through to them in PLAIN ENGLISH because they do not understand that language. They only understand "PENALIZE" that is their favorite word. I am sorry but I had to vent.
The worst part is...
I've been there a long time, took their crap, worked extra when asked, always had quality above 98.5, always made my line count, worked the last 2 months straight because they were behind, now there is hardly any work, worked all the major holidays for the last 2 years and this is how they repay that kind of loyalty. It makes me sad and I feel like a fool for being used for so long. All I want to do is type and do a good job. It won't be rewarded there unfortunately. I'm worried about going from the frying pan to the fire but it can't get worse than the above can it?
I thought they were the worst. (sm)
After I was hired and before actually beginning transcription with them, I had an inkling it wasn't going to be nice when I was mailed account specifics including lots and lots of QA memos with things like HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE THIS?!!!! and countless similar things. It may have just been one or two people, but that kind of thing is infectious in a QA department.
As far as the accounts, not just ESL, but the worst quality ESL I've ever encountered.
The owner was known for her rants on another well-known bulletin board. She also said she wouldn't sell, so when she did, naturally people were upset. Of course it was her right to sell, but those kinds of promises should never be made.
I count them as one of my worst experiences. I left after a short while and never regretted the decision. I was only sorry that I had to put such a stupid-sounding name of a company on my resume when looking for a real job.
Their accounts are the worst! nm
Yes. Not the best but not the worst. The best thing is that I do not
run out of work, and I am a high producer. That is very important to me.
The worst thing is that most of these SM
companies actually work to hire and keep the 2nd set--the ones who really don't want to be there. The rest of us, well we can hit the road if we don't like it--that's why we have to hop around so much.
my worst is in sacramento..sm
He speaks clearly, but he has this irritating habit of, after dictating for about five minutes, stopping, and saying no, don't say that, say... and then I have to erase everything I just typed and start over again. I have begun charging extra lines for this, though, because after all, I did type it. It was not my fault he had to have it erased. grrrr...
The platform is one of the worst
go down. If you need help with tech support, you have to email them and it takes hours, sometimes days for them to get back to you. Then sometimes your report does not show up on the line counter and you have to notify tech to get paid, because somehow it did not go through and another MT typed the same report.
Any account you go on will eventually be on VR, and they only pay half your line rate, the standard is 4 cpl for VR. The program is not user friendly.
No matter what they tell you when they hire you, they will eventually put your account on VR, and it can take months and months to get it down because the system does not seem to learn. Also, my training, well they kind of throw you to the wolves.
Also no production incentive, etc. On VR, it can take longer to edit the report than to type it. You can expect your checks to drop when they switch you to VR. All they will tell you is to be patient and it is a learning curve, keep trying, etc., etc., etc. In the meantime, your bills get behind, you can't afford things.
I am sorry I went with this company and am hoping to get out.
your worst enemy...
...is AHDI (formerly AAMT - note the absence of American in the new name)...while you are educating the public about Homeland Security violations, AHDI is going to be ACTIVELY working against you, facilitating & promoting CMT certification of offshore MTs (& making a ton of money doing it) & using their significant political and financial clout to globalize medical transcription under the noble-sounding rubric of Contributing to Global Commerce or some such malarkey. In the end, they have totally pulled one over on us--started out as an educational organization, more or less; exponentially grew their membership; & while no one was looking, ceased being an educational organization and became a political organization -- entirely switching their focus to the support of offshore outsourcing. Meanwhile, the MTs to whom they trafficked the CMT certification now appear to agree with their political stance simply because they are affiliated with the organization.
There are only 2 reasons I can think of for an organization to so completely betray its membership ideologically: Money & Power. Not necessarily in that order, & probably both.
Needless to say, I didn't renew my CMT certification & don't plan to ever again.
Worst Company
I too feel your pain about losing your account to India, but unfortunately it will be inevitable that everyone will lose their account to India at some time or another with this company. It seems with them, they use the US MTs to gear those accounts up for the client, make their work look really good, while in the background training the India MTs to take it over one day, and they usually do. Spheris is the worst company out there. If every US MT would just not work for them anymore, it would be a perfect world...wouldn't it!! Unfortunately, that will never happen, hence Spheris living on and screwing yet just another MT over and over again in the process. My sympathies to all MTs that have to stoop to try make a living at Spheris, I will only hope for you all that you find a better company that appreciates you and your hard work one day!!
Yes, they are by far the worst place I
have every worked.
Worst company ever!!!
I worked for Cymed for almost 2 years, but they were bought out by SPi in the summer of 2006, and things really went downhill after that. I left a year ago, and it was the best decision I have ever made! I hear that things are even worse there now than they were when I was there. They treat their MTs horribly and don't even pay for spaces. There are MUCH better companies out there to work for! You will get totally screwed over by this company.
SoftScript is the worst I ever saw
.
I would not wish MQ on my worst enemy! Was there for
almost 10 years and can't think of 1 nice thing to say except that I'm not there anymore. Can't help you with Webmedx, but they must be better than MQ. Best of luck to you.
they certainly aren't the worst
I asked my supervisor about the tiered pay scale a while back and they told me that it was to encourage more production out of us because it is easier to manage 1 of us typing 15000 lines a pay period than 3 of us typing 5000 lines a pay period. As far as all the hiring lately, I heard they have a lot of new accounts coming on.
I don't agree with everything they do, but I've been with most of the big names and eTrans is way better than any of them. I can actually get my work done most days without even hearing a peep from anyone at the company other than the occasional email.
Would be my worst nightmare also. NM
I can't imagine why anyone would apply for a job like that.
