Sofscript for Recent Grad Good?

In Reply to: Softscript for Recent Grad Good? - recentgrad
I would warn anyone off from working for SoftScript (SS). I worked for them for a whole two weeks (middle management) and couldn't stand the owner or JG (his counterpart who actually runs him and the business).
My experience with this company would warrant my saying RUN, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

Softscript for Recent Grad Good?
Recently graduated from 1 of the Big 3 & SoftScript offered me a position. Mixed reviews from what I saw - anyone have an opinion on them considering I have no experience yet? They are offering 7 cpl. TIA.
Anyone know if SofScript is any good
X
Yes...these days that is good for a new grad.
Unfortunately at first many new grads can only do 100 or less lines an hour but it is NOT bad to start since many, shall we call them sweatshop companies, are offering 4 or 5 because it's a mentoring experience.
Sofscript
Horrible horrible... and its run by MTs... unbelievable..when I worked there people walked out in droves.
ANYONE CURRENTLY WORK FOR SOFSCRIPT?
I'm thinking of applying but the only info on them is from 2007. Thanks!
Nothing good. Recent post says you get
paid when they get paid.
recent post are very good but
if you go back aways, yikes. I am always concerned when this happens. Raises the question of concerted effort to rehab a company's rep. Proceed with eyes open, I would say.
all OSI info is old in archives. Anything recent good/bad?
mostly -- are the lines an absolute bear to get; i.e., will I have to work 12 hours a day to get 1000 lines? Or do they seem fairly fair won?
Thanks
Do a search. Lots of recent stuff--good and bad. nm

No recent info on Execuscribe, anyone work for them, is there pay any good?
Thinking on a career move, going with them FT, but would not like to waste time testing if pay is lousy. 14+ years with acute care.
Thanks so much in advance!
Would like to hear from recent WEBMEDX employees. Good/bad/ugly? (nm)
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??
Lots of recent info here, and definitely not all good. Search the boards. nm

new grad help
Hello, I am a new graduate of the Career Step training program. Can anyone give me guidance as to how to find work. I am applying like crazy, but no one wants to give the unexperienced a chance. I am hoping the year of school was not all for nothing. Thanks for any guidance you can give.
To M-TEC grad
I am also an M-Tec grad. Axolotl is on our COC. Why don't you go for it and send them a resume? They will waive that requirement for M-TEC grads. Good luck!
M-TEC Grad
Can you tell me if the graduates are being told they will be hired after graduation? You can all share in the over-hiring that we all experience and the lack of work and the crummy ESL dictators.....
Another PCDI grad
No, don't give up. While I will say that PCDI does not really give a good insight to the real world of MT, I feel pretty good about my abilities, and have 2 jobs. If you really want to do this, you can. If you can find a different school and want to, then by all means go for it. I don't believe at all that just because you go to PCDI you will be hurting for jobs. Once you test for companies, and if you have the determination to succeed, you will be fine.
you said off shore and New grad MT's
which means if I pay my experienced MT's 9 cpl, then the newbie should get 4 cpl, because I have to pay an Editor 5 cpl to QA their stuff to get it up to the 9 cpl quality. But then everybody screams about newbies only making 4 cpl????
What CPL rate could a new M-Tec grad sm
with no experience for a national (acute care) expect. 
Not necessarily. I was a CS grad...

If you are a VLC grad, I can provide you with
.
As an Andrews grad, I highly
I felt well-prepared when I got my job and never regretted having paid top dollar for my training; as with many things, you truly get what you pay for. In fact, many of the national companies prefer Andrews grads or M-Tec grads as the previous poster mentioned and as a newbie you will need every advantage. Good luck to you.
Determination/PCDI Grad
I agree. I graduated in July 2004 and have had SEVERAL opportunities to test, and even work with National company. I had no problem at all finding the 2 jobs that I have now and ALWAYS do very well on the tests. I also agree about detemination...since it was a driving force for me to excel in school and to get a job. I got EXACTLY what I set out to do! I have to say that if the original poster has enough determination, she will get her just reward!! She can do it!! Don't give up!
Anon. IF you do not know what an Andrews grad is then you don't know this business
Andrews school produces only the best baby!!!!!!!No exaggeration here. Ask anybody on this board about Andrew graduates. We produce like pros, which I am.
typo, I type 1,200 a day or more. Yes I really do. Andrews grad. HOORAY!!!!

As a recruiter, I'd hire an Andrews grad in a New York minute. You're doing a great job of se
They are properly trained. They are ready and able to work from day #1.
Wouldn't YOU like to have training that made you a hot commodity the minute you graduate? Maybe you should go back to school so you can be an arrogant MT and not be penalized because you aren't cutting it.
As a famous model once said Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Good luck in your future endeavors.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

What recent changes? nm

This was recent thank you
I did take a leap of faith with them and they do pay on time now. They turned that around but nothing else. I stuck up for them and got burned bigtime. All I said was they do not understand what an IC is and were very rude when I pointed it out. Not a vendetta, just a warning. Check them out and ask a lot of questions for clarification. That was all i was saying.
Anything recent on SPi - sm
Since the archives are acting up, need something current on SPi from someone in the know. Pay, work schedules, how they are to work with, etc.
Thanks.
Not recent, but I can say ...
Of all the companies I've worked for, they were by far and away my favorite. Easy platform, great dictators, (mostly) fantastic management. But, it's been over 4 years since I've worked for them.
I had been with them for a couple of years, had my set dictators, and they hired a new manager for my account who completely ripped everyone up and around and didn't communicate at all what she was doing or why. Long story short, there was a pretty big fall out with that account and several of us left. A month or two later, I heard she was fired.
I think about going back to them sometimes, honestly. And I would in a heartbeat, if they were like the old T-C I worked for back in the day. Can't say if they are or not, but historically they were a great company to work for.
Good luck!
Is there anything recent in there?
Everything I saw was from 4 to 6 years ago in the archives when they were using C-phones and only hiring IC's.
Does anyone work there now or worked there recently with any insight?
Anyone have recent info on OSI? nm
.
6 to 7-1/2 cpl for the most recent job posting!!! Don't think much of us, do they?...nm
s
What's up with all the recent firings?

Anyone have any recent OSI information?
Are benefits as good as they sound? How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology? How are they to work for? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Any recent info on DSG?
Have been offered a job and wondering of pros and cons. TIA.
two recent interviews
I thought you might enjoy these two tidbits from recent interviews with unnamed companies. When I asked the first recruiter/owner about the insurance they offered in their ad, I was told that contract had lapsed and there was not a new one signed yet. She went on to volunteer her opinion that people are better off without health insurance -- that way you can use the free clinics (TRUE story). The second one advertised 8.5 to 10 cpl transcription and 0.4 to 0.5 VR. Unfortunately, those positions (although I applied within minutes of the post) were filled but I was offered 8 cpl transcription and 0.3 VR. Bait and switch much?
You will see that their most recent posting was for QA!
nm
Any recent information on
TIA
Anyone with recent info on
how work is at Stenomed, ad on job board? TIA
Yes, recent experience
I applied in late August, but it took until just a week ago to receive passwords to work.
Very hands off management in my opinion, although very polite on phone. I think there is just not enough staff.
Also, very low error rate threshhold , but currently no QA and/or no way to flag a report. I was very very uncomfortable with the set up so I did not proceed.
YOU; however, might have better luck. :)
MDI-MD - Recent Hires
Just curious - if you had a phone interview, was the recruiter on time to call you? I had one scheduled but haven't received any contact.
Anyone else with this experience?
Any recent info on TNI?
Feel free to e-mail me if you don't feel comfortable posting. Thanks!
Any recent SPi info? sm
The archives have nothing very recent and nothing very nice to say about this company. Have things improved there over the last year? I notice their line count requirements are lower than most companies. Does this indicate an inability to provide MTs with enough work or good sound files? ANY recent information would be appreciated. Thanks!
Did you apply to either of their most recent ads and if so
did you hear back from them?
Recent TTS info anyone? (sm)
Wondering if anybody could post updated, recent info on TTS as to how the work load and getting paid on time have been for the past 6 months or so ??? TIA.
Is two months ago recent enough?.....
....I sincerely doubt they have changed their ways in the past two months, since I was terminated.
Be very, very careful if you accept any of their offers. Everything stated in old posts here are correct....and I know this by first hand experience and also from co-workers who had been there at the same time as I was, and experienced same or worse.....eventually.....
I wish you luck, but I'm afraid you will be sadly disappointed, perhaps not right away, but given enough time, if you go to work for them.
I noticed recent ads for MDI-MD
on MTJobs says full and part-time IC positions are available. Something new they are offering?
Was this a recent move?
Because it seems like everyone has been pretty happy there, that is, not hearing much complaints here on the board. Lack of work maybe?
recent posts...
Pay is late. Recruiter takes forever to get back with you, if ever.
