I was offered an oncology account by Iridium Services today.  Does anyone know anything about the company - good or bad?

Iridium has rules that NEARLY everybody follows.  Two main ones are you only do your preferred pool and you don't suspend work.  One person specifically continues to do work NOT in her preferred and to suspend work that is NOT in her preferred.  AND she appears to get away with it as it happens nearly daily.  Below is a post on this board by that person.  There seems to be a lack of teamwork on her part, which she so vehemently was excited was present at Iridium. 

It may be time to start job hunting.  It is so hard to have any trust in management when there is a favorite or 2 who is allowed to not play by the same set of rules as the rest of us struggling to get lines and have some money in our paychecks.  This company has sure not lived up to its promises to transcriptionists at all. 

Not that I have to explain

myself  to you I will respond.  I decided to join Iridium 4 weeks after I was contacted by them.  I also was told that Iridium outsourced, which was the reason for my original post.  I would never work for a company that outsourced and I wasn't going to jump ship before I had some information.  I worked on the account for 8 years at my previous employer, and like most professionals give notice of their intention to leave.  I left my previous employer with the understanding I would be transcribing the same dictators, which has NOT happened.  I have one, and that decision came from the account administration because it was the DOCTOR's choice.  Do you feel shafted by everyone that started working after you because you were there first, or do you just have something against me?  So much for the teamwork I keep hearing about, and how great everyone is.  Maybe next time you'll reveal your true identity so I can respond to you directly.

I am so tired of the games of management, promises that people will follow the rules not being kept (as in no apparent consequences), my preferred pool forever changing, hurrying to save work for the weekend and either having none while others have lots, and then if you do have lots, you work your tail off to get it done only to have no work monday morning.    

What has this industry come to?  Fast food work ALMOST sounds appealing ...

Would anyone with knowledge about this company, please post what their platform MDinTouch is like.  How are they to work for, good and bad.  Anything you would like to share would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Spectramedi, Breitner, SPi, TC Transcription, All Type, NEMT, etc.... 

Does anyone know which ones pay editors hourly as opposed to production?

I am a small MT company that has been blessed with a fabulous MT and QA team.  Recently I sat down and looked at every paycheck sent out from our payroll vendor.  I was really shocked at what I found.  I think a more appropriate term would be embarrassed.  This team works harder than any group I have ever seen and manages to push more than a million lines a month.  Can anyone suggest any technologies that would help increase volume without any additional effort on their part?  I have been looking into Dragon Speak as a way to increase volume assuming they would be primarily editing not transcribing and the accuracy states close to 99%.  Any comments?

I haven't seen anything posted about them, so thought maybe that was a good sign.  Any information would be appreciated -- platform easy to use, pay on time, difficult docs, etc.

TIA
