Proscript low volumes
Proscript has just had layoffs for no work.
READ THE ARCHIVES. There are volumes and volumes

Sandy used to be the recruiter for Proscript. Is Proscript now Opti-Script, name change?
Just curious..
Work volumes....
Work volumes have been pretty low across the board. We were told at a town hall meeting last month that they would be recruiting MTs from within the company to work on these new accounts that are coming on board soon in order to solve low work volumes many of us have been encountering. It's not very comforting to hear that they are doing exactly what they promised not to do (hire new MTs for these accounts).
FOCUS WORK VOLUMES
I just wanted to add that I find plenty of work if I work between 5pm and 11pm, eastern time. If I want to work during the daytime, say between 8am and 5pm, the queues are often empty (3 of them). There was one time that I logged in at 4am, and I found the queues all empty at that time as well.
Good luck.
That speaks volumes for the respect MTs have for

My experience was low pay, low work volumes
But they were very nice. Unfortunately, nice doesn't pay the bills. :/
I have noticed low volumes but so far no emails. sm
Maybe it depends on your account.
QA is good, they are fair - DSG not the only one with low volumes
Some days I think the industry itself is in a death spiral... there certainly has been a yo-yo effect for a while now on volume.
My suggestion is that people start looking in other directions at least for back up/part time income. I could be wrong but I just don't see a reversal happening in this industry.
Not only is VR working against us, it will only improve with time - and possibly to an extent that will even reduce VR positions. Likely more software is in development that will further erode job opportunities and/or drive down wages.
Outsourcing is playing a huge role as well.
Not to create or add to anyone's panic, but read the writing on the wall before it's too late - diversify your skills and don't put all your eggs in the transcription basket, cuz me thinks there's an egg-sized hole in the bottom. insert wry smiley face here.
Unless she can provide large volumes of
eventually the big co's with their guerilla business tactics will stomp on her little business, too.
Low work volumes, horrible sound
What is going on with Transcend?
I am about to leave also and I never thought I'd see myself type that!
Great company, low escription volumes but..
hopefully it will pick up. I really love working for them. I only want to edit, do not want to type
actions and attitudes speak volumes
....
My experience is work volumes fluctuate SM
but fairly predictably, and a full shift is virtually always available IF you choose to adapt work schedule for those days and periods when work is plentiful.
Until recently health benefits were available for a 36-hour workweek, now it's a 40-hour work week with some flexibility.
Working that full schedule, though, a skilled MLS (medical language specialist) with a well-developed and used Expander who is familiar with the assigned accounts can make good money, and many do. The incentive bonus schedule is quite good and rewarding to high producers.
Percentage of ESL is quite high, but they're as doable as any others once familiarity with their dictation is achieved (typically they know we can't understand them and try to vary as little as possible from their standard verbage).
WebMedx specializes in mid-sized community medical centers. No Cleveland Clinics or UCLA MC here, which is the biggest drawback I know of, really the only one, with this company. This type of workload does contribute to getting that high-line-count familiarity, though. Accounts and formats are typically easy to learn, with relatively little in the way of fussy individuality to keep track of.
I do believe WebMedx is genuinely trying to get and hold onto good people by treating them well. Absolutely no complaints in that regard in all the time I've worked there.
So, welcome, NN, and best wishes on your decision, Decision. :)
Your positive attitude speaks volumes! Good for you! sm
I worked for JLG in the past and it was a stable, quality company. There are always bumps in the road for everyone--even for companies.
I wonder if these students aren't doing some Webmedx dictation already with work volumes as they
It ain't all the economy. They are either OVERHIRING incredibly or the work is going somewhere else. Definitely. They should have the decency to be straight with us.
anyone know anything about proscript?
Anyone know anything about Proscript, how is the company?

Is anyone working for ProScript now who could give me some input?

Anyone work for or have any information on ProScript???

I've never piled up the lines so easily. My account has very few ESLs. Email if you want to talk.

Proscript - sm
You are right..it did say that by February there would be work, and I still have not heard anything, only that there is not enough to go around at this time....
Proscript
I used to think they were the best company out there, but they have certainly changed recently. No communication, and the communication you get is certainly not positive! I have no idea what happened to this once really, really good company!
Which Proscript? (sm)
I applied to a company called Proscript months ago, and was told they would love to have me on-board in March, which was great for me as who wants to start new work during the holidays. Now that it's almsot April, I thought I'd check back, but I'm confused: I can't find the web site that had the phone number, only the one linked below. Do they off-shore? I thought the recruiter I spoke to said they definitely did not, but I also found this:

This is the phone number for Proscript in Sarasota, Florida. 1.800.867.0428. I worked there at one time. I do not know what this other website is, whether they are changing or not. Good luck.
proscript- me too!
Well, this is funny since I was actually recruited by email by Proscript back in October. I interviewed and was told I had a job, then heard nothing for a while, then was told they had hired all they needed, and would be needing me in February/March. Now it's almost April and I haven't heard from them either. I was put off so many times by them before I don't know what to think. Thankfully I have a job that I am actually comfortable in.
Are you with Proscript?

Sorry 'bout that...I meant to post a reply here but accidently clicked on reply by email. Anyway...Proscript is a great company!
Proscript
Please feel free to email me privately if you wish.

Has anyone heard if Proscript has a 10% QA maximum, for keeping insurance benefits?
proscript
I just started working for them a few months back. Wonderful people, but their platform is the worst! Type and type and get nowhere!
ProScript
I just accepted a position with them; worked for them years ago when they were DDI, before the Q bought them out; nice people to work with, good pay and benefits; don't know what their accounts are like now but can't be any worse that this!
proscript
See message below. Today is my last day with this company. They are the BEST and NICEST people to work for, but their platform is the worst I have ever seen, and I have been in this business 30 years! You will make more money to go to McDonald's to work!
Proscript
Proscript is a great company to work for. Work has always been there for me....just your normal low times....holidays summer vacations. But other than that....great place. Pay always on time and the people are wonderful
Proscript
Can anyone tell me what platform they use, along with whether or not you have access to previous reports?
Proscript
Would that be mad as in angry or mad as in crazy? Ha!
ProScript
I have worked almost 40 years as an acute hospital Tx/QA. I am highly respected and have always respected my employers, (hospital or service) until now. ProScript has turned from a friendly employee supported service into a company (in my opinion) of bottom-feeders. After working for them almost 5 years we discovered an error in my pay (I was an employee). I contacted them and the VPO called and said I would be paid within two weeks. Then one lie after another - six weeks later I had to file with the State of California to get my wages. My hours were cut (IMHO as a payback) to 29 a week forcing me to quit. I don't know about you - but, anyone who lies to me especially about my money is not trustworthy. I could go on and on about the quality of work product and others but bottom line is they cannot be trusted! I still believe a person's word is their bond.
Proscript
Anybody else work for Proscript?? I've had very little work since it seems Christmas time...Anyone else with this same problem?
Proscript
Hi fellow Mts: I know there are pros and cons for every company out there. I need some an answer about anyone currently working for Proscript out of Sarasota. Florida. I am thinking of something PT, maybe FT. Are they basically a good company to work for. What platform do they use, do they pay for spaces and what is the basic line rate. What is the percent of ESL. I have some exp. with that but it is not my favorite, some are good and some I have had were so bad they had templates for these doctors and drove me crazy. For MTs working for them now have you had any trouble getting your pay. Thanks for information.
Proscript
This might be a good PT job which I was kinda looking for and they were looking for 2nd shift people. I might just check into it though. Thanks
? about Proscript sm
Does Proscript hire employee or IC status. Can anybody tell me anything about this company?
Proscript
I was hired to do OPs. What they did not tell me was that any normal dictations the client wanted them to use (more than I've seen with any other company), they did not pay for. Therefore, you worked your hind end off and it seemed like you were getting a lot of lines when, in fact, you were not.
So, for the question below about quarterly bonus pay with Proscript, good luck trying to get that because it goes by your line count.
Proscript
Looking for information on Proscript. Thanks 
Proscript
There are a few good people there, but the communication is HORRIBLE. You can email until you are blue in the face and never get an answer. Don't know about the VR account, but the other accounts weren't too bad.
ProScript
Anyone currently work for ProScript? E-mail me if you do.
Proscript
Have you tested and/or been offered a job yet? I would like to know more ifo also!
proscript
I tested with them today and it was the best test I have ever gotten to take yet and believe me I have gotten a lot of tests
I tested with them today. It was the best test I have ever gotten by a company and BELIEVE ME I have tested with many!

Are there any transcriptionists out there who are working on the acute care/oncology account and would care to share their experience. Are you able to make any money especially since the cpl rate for both straight and VR is so low? Percentage of ESL dictators, etc. Would love to hear what you think of working for them. Thank you.
