Yes, some really great, talented people have left, and that's

In Reply to: I'm curious as to what the problems are. It seems like a lot of familiar names are gone nm. - anon
always a danger sign to me. If upper management keeps being mentioned as a reason these good people are leaving, somebody should take notice. This company seems to be hemorrhaging talent and keeping an incompetent, power-hungry suit. It's hard to know whether to leave or stay. I would not recommend them to anyone right now.

System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You can be gifted and talented
and have all of the experience in the world and still not be happy. With that said, to simply say that this board only displays negativity is wrong. The negativity displayed to help others in this profession keep away from companies that may not pay. Others that join today will read these posts regarding different subjects and be glad they did. Others will stay with this profession never having found this board. Just like the old saying goes, you take the advice you want, and throw the rest away. If you do not like negative posts, then you need to find another board because to simply say that someone here is not as talented or gifted as you because they have made a negative statement is negativity on your part. Please look in the mirror and practice what you preach. Have a great day and thank you for posting here.
I left MQ too...got a great job at a new company. nm

Soooo many people have left!
I know that at least 20 or so people quit around the same time I did! Even though it is super annoying, it is sometimes funny to read their e-mails when they are panicking because they don't have enough people.
You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
Run by people who left MedQuist...probably fed up

There were just posts about SR people being left go
typing. Something smells fishy there.
may people have left spheris sm
Yes, I worked for them for 9 years and finally had to leave because they cut may pay in half. At least 4 people from my team alone have left, and I suspect many more are leaving. Horrible insurance with sky-high deductables, abusive team leaders, no holiday pay, expectations to work most holidays. I never got a raise in 9 years. Terrible place, they just keep cutting benefits/pay/perks.
Bravo! Great post. I left TT but I will always speak very highly of them.

Diskriter - interested in talking to people who left. SM
I am presently working for another company and am somewhat satisfied. Am considering Diskriter. I do not want to make a wrong decision. If you worked there and left, please let me know if you would be willing to give me some information (bad or good). I know people hesitate to get into specifics on this forum - email me and I will contact you. I am just so hesitant to make another change.
Any happy Transcenders out there? I know a couple people have left, not sure why. nm
Agree with this. Some lucky ones have great accts. Mine were awful, so I left. nm

I have heard other people comment on lack of work and have left for that reason. How much of an
issue can this be. Also, is the sound on these accounts poor. That is the other problems I have heard people comment on. I was really looking for uptodate comments. How bad are these issues at present. I dont want to leave one company with no work problems and go to another one with the same problem. I cant be available 24/7 to get work with having a family.

If you look back in the archives people left when they realized they couldn't make money with it.

Great, there are people out here who...
are the sole support of their families (who usually need to eat regularly, wear clothes and shoes and need electricity and other "luxuries."
You would tell someone in that position to be grateful for the opportunity to spend time with their children in that case? How much quality time can a parent have with kids if they are worried about paying the bills?
Great people....
I was hired by Alltype a couple of weeks ago. Everyone is professional and friendly. They pay excellent and they hire both employee and IC status. When the account that I was hired for was having technical problems they offered me an hourly wage compensation becuase it was not my fault. Now thats a company that cares about their transcriptionists. I'm pretty sure I'll be with them for a long, long time.
Great people nm

These people who think 40K is great sm
weren't around when this was a real career, when the pay scale was 11 cpl+ as an employee with benefits and a normal amount of paid time off during the year, equipment provided by the company, internet paid by the company.
Fast forward from then until today and what you have is a clerical job with clerk salary.
Yep. Great people.
I worked for them many, many years ago, but absolutely love the owner, Cindy, and her husband. (Back then, not sure about now), the pay was great and I felt like a member of the family. Highly recommended.
The people are great to work with
and the pay is good and on time. I do find the work isn't as steady as I'd like though, but hey, that's the MT business, right?
Pay is a bit low, but great bunch of people. sm
Clinic work is super easy -- 7 to 7-1/2 cpl -- and I think acute care pays 8-1/2 cpl. They pay once a week, direct deposit, work is done in Word.
Hope this helps.
Great for some maybe....but they are nice people...nm

That was great. My heart goes out to the MDI people, too. nm

Seems like the problem is becoming more widespread. Well, the people that think MQ is so great may
not after they are in the same situation. You know, things are great until they arent. One thing is for sure, it will change and all these people that are getting bonuses etc with tons of work are bound to be right along with us in the very near future. Guarantee it. MQ is after very VERY short TAT and so that will become companywide as it is already. Cant run a 1 hour TAT and have people not running out of work constantly. That also is a given.
Great people..AWFUL platform!!!nm

Consider yourself in the inner circle. She is great to people she likes but
quite the opposite if she does not. There is no pattern either, all a whim. I am lucky that she likes me, but I am afraid that the knife will someday be in my back.
JLG as a company has been great to me. Do not let the recruiter spoil the opportunity to work for a great company. Just grin and bear it because once you are in, you do not have to deal with her.
I work for Allegiant too - great people and a

Great people, IC only, low pay, easy accounts, sm
direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Good! Great people to work for!

Just by posting that here will help a great deal of people
Thank you!
Forever, people had 2 jobs, not just MTs. And great
This is what i mean by you pilot your life, your life shouldnt just be floating you thru life. Over the course of about 2 years, I have made conscious effort to make my life work for me. Figured out what platforms I like, what type accts. What kind of equipment works best for me, how to efficiently handle docs and files. In word based platform, I am Speedy Gonzales as far as how I get in and out, how I process docs. Still spend same amount of time on actual edit and type, those you can only do so fast and be correct but all other aspects, I am fast. You find your fit, which is not a one size fits all. But, working 2 jobs is not the territory of onlyl the MT world. My dad did it while my mom also worked as RN.
Ohhhhh, sooooooo true -- Transtech tech people absolutely stink anymore since ____ left. He was the
greatest! Hated to hear that he had left. We got some real doozies for tech help now. The MT ends up training them. They are clueless as to what to do when we need help. TRUTH!
They ALWAYS have a BAD attitude in their voice, too -- like we MT's are a bother to them -- thought that is what they get paid for.
Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!

Worked for them years ag. GREAT people to work for. nm

Proscript is a wonderful company, great people. nm

Great place. People are super to work sm
with and answer your questions, etc. Pay well and always on time. If I ever work at home again, I will go back there first.
Great bunch of people, plenty of work sm
pay on time, around 9 cpl depending on account (without spaces) or 8 cents line (with spaces). Some accounts use long distance with Laniers others use Emdat, others use a different word-based platform that is real easy to learn.IC only, you commit to a set amount of lines per day, 24 hour turnaround time, they leave you alone to do your work. I would have stayed forever but I needed the benefits.
Transtech has great people but work has been low for 5 months...nm
nm
I only worked there briefly, but great people, and pay always on time. sm
They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit. The account that I was on used ExText.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Proscript is a great place. Nice QA people. nm

Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Good luck on whatever you decide.
I've heard the pay isn't that great, nice people tho. NM

Good accounts, great people, plenty of work. sm
I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned. I still find them to be the best for me. Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise).
I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work. As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there.
Good luck & I hope it works out for you.
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm

Do you know what scares me? The great disservice you are doing to the people whose medical reports

Metro in Georgia is one. Give them a call. Great people. nm

I love it there. Tons of work, great people. I am 100% happy.

Great people, difficult details on accounts to remember...nm

I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
FN is a great company full of wonderful people who treat you with respect. SM.
But they only want to pay 4.5 cpl for SR, 5.5 for heme/onc. Can you believe that? Also, workload has been very, very low for a very long time.
