Weigh the pros and cons
I used to work for a company that I THOUGHT I couldn't stand, but made very good money. Now, as time passes, I regretfully realize it's the nature of the business anymore (to feel like you're in a perpetual JCAHO survey and everything is STAT to compete with the Third World workers). Plus people are managing it now that have never transcribed and have no clue at variables that affect production. I actually miss the hospitals now, too. The grass is always greener . . . Be careful. I made a switch a couple of years ago and the people are nice enough, but do knee-jerk reactions and switch people around all the time, affecting MT's ability to make money and benefits, don't seem to believe in a day off unless you make it up. The result? I'm absolutely fried, producing less than I ever have in my life, feel like I have no life, and I want out of MT as soon as another option becomes available. If you're making decent money and can get an occasional day off without penalty, I'd stay (if it were me). It's getting harder and harder to make any money unless you have your own accounts anymore (or happen to luck into good accounts working for a service).
Can anyone who is employee status at Medscribe weigh in on the bennies? (sm)
Is the insurance expensive? Are they flexible with schedules? TIA!
