Can anyone tell me about ScribeRight? I checked the archives. Seems some like the company and others don't. Can anyone who works for them or has worked for them expand on this a bit? Is the owner really that picky?

Anyone has recent experience with Med-Scribe out of FL that could share, good, bad, or indifferent??
Thanks. I want to make an informed decision if I proceed with them. As everyone, you get tired of wasting your time on companies that are not worth it so I'm doing a little research on this one. Can anyone help??
ScribeRight- good, bad? sm
The last posts in the archives are from Feb. 2005. Anything new since then? TIA.
While I'm indifferent about a union ...
... I take pretty big issues at some of your points.
First of all, it seems to be a catch-all idea that you can tell someone to start their own company or quit bitching about the way things are. And that's just not right.
Basically, what you're saying is that people don't deserve decent treatment if they're employees - only if they're willing to start their own company and treat their employees a certain way.
It's completely devaluing the input and contribution of workers and it's a quick way to try to make a person feel like they're not worth fair treatment as they are. It's unproductive and tired.
Secondly, while I don't make slave wages (or even close to), I do (we all) have to make some pretty huge concessions to do what we do.
Not many other professions in the United States asks you to:
1. Sit for hours while waiting for work, and being unpaid for it.
2. Flex hours on a whim to bend to their needed schedules, all while being unpaid for the hours that may be missed.
3. Carry out extra work (such as calculating line counts, tallying time sheets, paperwork, company emails) and being completely unpaid for that, as well.
4. Flatly refusing to give raises or to pay relative to experience.
I'm sure there are more things out there, but I'm too tired to think of the negatives right now.
I was just talking to my mother the other night about how, when I started in MT 12 years ago, the average company paid 7 to 8 cents per line. Two years into my career, I found an IC position that paid 13 cpl.
The majority of companies still start people (regardless of experience) at 7 to 8 cpl. And if I ever found an IC job that paid 13 cpl at this point, I'd weep with joy. This is certainly not in keeping with inflation, and I can see how some of the slower typists could really struggle.
My opinion on whether or not we need a union is pretty noncomittal. I haven't really thought about it.
But our profession DOES need regulations, so that we can perhaps FINALLY get the respect that the majority of us deserve. This means that we, as transcriptionists, have to be on the ball. And it means the MT companies will have to start recognizing the importance of transcriptionists to their livelihood. It will mean respect on both ends, and it won't be a lot of fun, but it will change this profession for the better - and most of it in the name of patient care.
With so many different jobs switching to a work at home type situation, it's time for us ALL to cast off the guilt we have that keeps us justifying our treatment with well, at least I get to work at home ...
And I rambled. I'm sorry. I should stop typing now, especially since these snowflakes are slowing my computer down from a typical 130 wpm to what feels like 7. Heh.

Wonderful lady to work for! You won't be sorry.

there was a posting about 3 weeks ago on someone asking the same thing. about 2 responses came back positive about the company being great with a great boss, but dont remember other specifics like insurance, etc.

You need to type at least 800 lines a day plus 1000 lines on Saturday (they are strict about this) and submit a schedule and stick to it pretty tightly. If you can do that, I think it is a pretty good company. Not sure on benefits--dont' think there are any--IC status.

Any recent information on ScribeRight Transcription?
ScribeRight
  Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Do you like it there? What platform do they use? Do they pay on time?
ScribeRight
The owner is very controlling, very picky, and often very nasty. Do a search on this forum by splitting the word into scribe right and you get more hits.
ScribeRight
Lisa is a wonderful person to work for. She is very honest, always pays on time. She has high standards, but she is fair.
ScribeRight
I worked with them last year, and quite frankly, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone! Granted, I learned a lot, but the owner and QAs attitudes really stink! It's mandatory you work Saturday's. The pay isn't what it should be for what you have to put up with....sorry. 
ScribeRight
My contact with ScribeRight was limited;I didn't get past the contract phase, and my friend found that their line counts were way below what she got with her line-counting software.
So, my advice: Don't even try to make any changes to the contract. That sends L into a real tailspin. Be sure to use your own line counting software and compare it to what the company is determining the line count to be.

I currently work for ScribeRight. Email me with any questions----would be happy to answer. :)

One more company (sigh) ScribeRight?
Well, I have been looking and looking. I have interviews scheduled with Transcend and also Softscript. I did research here on the boards about Softscript, and didn't like much of what I heard.
I also had a very nice woman from the boards here contact me and offer to refer me on to her company, and gave me numbers for contacts there.
So...today I was contacted by Scriberight. They seemed very nice and the testing was quite easy.
Anyone know anything about them? I'm sorry to keep posting these, but I have had to change jobs twice in the past two years due to lack of work, unstable companies, bad pay, etc....I would just like to stay put for a while and I value your opinions.
Thanks!

ScribeRight Transcription out of Washington...any info on this company?

The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Yes there is! Good pay and good bonuses and good benefits.
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
Adminstrative Assistants and VanBelkum. Good companies, good pay!

Spheris supes/QA are good, insurance not good; they offshore
nm
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

Had the same happen here, heard the same thing, good references and good ....sm
job record will get you better $$$ if you are willing to promote yourself, search like crazy, talk to everyone, etc., but I have never been paid a cent more for CMT, what a waste, and all the years I paid my dues to AAMT, what a joke, they did NOTHING to better our field, just took the money for better conventions, as far as I can see.
Good owners, average-low pay, good dictators sm
Send out checks the next business day after they receive the bill. Only work when you want. It's a nice p.r.n. position.

I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people
I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had. Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year. I followed my manager from another giant company.
I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start. The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced. Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it.
There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments
