despite the heavy negatives

i vote MQ; tried a couple smaller companies -- but when you roll into the mix all the various factors, its my choice place to be. and furthermore, its my family's sole income and as a FT employee -- i'm not even worried about the lawsuits and all. The company is constantly improving. There are no signs of sell-out or collapse, only of strength.

MQ & MDI NEGATIVES
I'm just curious why both MDI-FL and MQ get so many negative posts on this board versus the rest of the companies out there? Is it because these two companies are so large so there are more employees to complain, or is it because they are really just very bad companies to work for?
I'm considering both companies, but see all of the posts on this board and am a little nervous about making a change.
MQ negatives
And ya know what? For all the so-called "perks" of working for MQ, what did MTs get MT week? Oh, yeah, a chapstick attached to a key ring. Who knows, next year Frank will pass out dog turds wrapped in pretty red ribbons, and there will still be MTs who say MQ was thoughtful, and we're all ungrateful. Oh, well.
wow, that's a lot of negatives...
in your paragraph itself for me. You could try, but I think I would try for something else in the meantime. That's a lot to be concerned about.

 what about the RAD accounts? I read before that they had good RAD accounts, but do they actually train you or do you just jump right in and make your production? I am waiting for my interview from the recruiter who came back from a trip a couple of days ago. Any info appreciated!
Although I've seen many negatives on this board, I'm very
happy at JLG. Not having DD is the only negative I can think of.

Negatives, no benefits, have to provide your own long distance, (sm)
internet platform for file transfer but audio is through phone line so you have to either rent or provide your own C-phone. Pros 24 hours to get lines done each day but do have to work 2 weekend days a month and provide a schedule 2 months in advance. Have heard several accounts are heavily loaded with ESLs. You work as statuatory, therefore, file your own taxes.
If you have experience & can get past the negatives, SmartMed uses dial-up & has an ad at top

Is anyone happy at OSI in Douglasville, GA? Lots of negatives in archives - SM
but I also remember reading some positive comments. I am a CMT with 30 years of experience, and I need employee status with good, affordable health insurance. I so wish I could fine some place where I can stay until I retire, or at least a long, long time!
Yes, VERY heavy ESL.

Why would getting top heavy with
I can understand not answering emails but top heavy with management really isn't any of the MTs business.
Transcend's positive posts stay here cause negatives are deleted! That's the trend!
You cannot rely on honest referrals on this board, especially the archives. They are edited and deleted forever. Just as the negative posts on the Transcend forum "magically" disappear once discovered...Don't be so naive, unless you're the one "editing"!

Big turnover on this account. They constantly advertise. Look elsewhere.
OSI heavy on the offshoring, I believe.
Heavy ESL account...sm
I happen to work on the heavy ESL account at Axolotl. It is difficult, I won't lie. There are not many Asian dictators, but I have many years of experience with ESLs and I do find it to be quite difficult. I have only been with Axolotl since July and just moved over onto this account a few weeks back, but it was my secondary prior to that. I think with time, they are very doable; however, it is not a huge money-making account. I can't come near the 250-300 lph I used to be able to do (which might be age showing, too), but I love this company and they are very accommodating in many ways! Work has been slow lately, but is supposed to be picking up as this account brings on more work. If you are up for a challenge and would like to work for a great company, I'd say go for it. They are really, really good about filling in blanks and providing feedback and you can even relisten to the job which helps you learn them better! e-mail me if you'd like!
Heavy ESL is probably exactly why I got that callback...
now that you mention it. Before I quit, they had me in a very heavy ESL account. That's not specifically why I left (didn't help), it was a combination of things, mainly that I couldn't move through the junk quickly enough to make a decent paycheck anymore and knew it was not gonna get better there. Of course, I was told at the time that was all they could give me. We do not have a fit for you, yeah, buddy. Going back would just mean more mistreatment. I personally hope they have to fold.
Count on heavy Mon and Tues and then
computer up to 14 hours or so a day to wait for work to drop in to get your line count, or you can just work 365 days/yr. They will tell you to work outside your schedule if there is not work and expect you to have a consistent daily line count.
You are NEW !! TransTech is HEAVY into VR. Where did you get your info from?
Every account is about 75%-80% VR -- unless it a new account which the voice machine has not been able to interpret the doctor yet. You just wait . . . your turn is coming for VR. They beg for more editors to be trained each and every week.
How well does eScription do on heavy ESL physicians?
Also, how long after using this platform did you find yourself doubling in your productivity? Anything you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
How many of these VR lines for heavy ESL dictators?
Thanks.
Their pay is the pits unless you're a heavy producer. nm

Doesn't that chip on your shoulder ever get heavy?
Maybe you should consider a career change. Being locked up all day away from the real world has obviously made you bitter and a tad dillusional. Have you considered counseling?
On my TT account, the only times heavy editing
Is required is if there is a bad connection (static and muffled connections wreak havoc with Escription, as with any VR system). Other than that, my production is probably 2.5 times greater than it is with straight transcription; essentially, the means my pay increased slightly with the transition to VR.
I believe the poster means that if you cannot catch *nonsense* the system churns out and correct it, then that person really shouldn't be an MT because details is what our jobs are all about.
Wow, that's a sturdy, heavy cup -- I'm surprised. I didn't take the job with them sm
about a year ago and I have had regrets a few times, but seeing all this I guess God was looking out for me and I made the right decison after all. I'm so sorry that this is happening to everyone. I never heard of cutting someone's pay after hired but then again, a lot of things have happened in the past few years that I never thought would happen.
Good luck.
Lots of people like it here even though the ESL load is supposed to be heavy. nm

HEAVY ESLs, will not switch accounts if you are having difficulty, and more...sm
Plus you have to pay $25.00 every payday to get your check UPS to you. Now, I never have known UPS to charge $25.00 to mail a letter overnight! They must be making profit off of it. The worst ESLs ever! I have worked for many years as a MT but NEVER had this horrible of ESLs. Not to mention the VERY RUDE QA staff! Supervisors and work flow are nice. I would think twice. But pay was always on time and always correct. You just have to balance out. They used to run out of work too. Don't know if that has changed or not.
