Their reputation has gotten so bad, that they have to use another name when they
I applied for a job at Gold Standard Medical Transcription. The reply I got was from Softscript, saying they were interested in having me test for the position. When I emailed back, I asked if "Gold Standard Medical Transcription" and "Softscript" were the same company. The reply I got was "Yes". So their reputation is so bad, they have to disguise themselves with a new name....
Obviously not soon enough to save the reputation of
the company and possibly some good MTs. If there are more like her around there, no wonder they get such bad comments.
I think they have a good reputation, but they don't
They do have a seem lot of happy employees, though. I don't work for them, just try keep tabs on the different companies on here and how they compare.
They have a lousy reputation
I'm so sorry for those affected by this. I don't think I have ever seen a positive post about that company in the several years I have been coming to this board.
all you did was confirm SS's reputation TY!!!!
WE REST OUR CASE!!!!
Softscript reputation
Apparently, you're the designated apologist for what I would describe as a criminal enterprise, in my opinion. If you are so enamored by them, why not divulge your real name? There is nothing good, decent or kind about this company. Lawsuits a plenty; some settled out of court and hidden. Over 200% turnover of personnel annually because no one likes the management or the supervisors- most are uneducated and many lack any tact whatsoever; losing many contracts. Can't find one fellow MT who thinks it is worth the stress they put you through. Bunch of know-nothings and do-nothings run the place. Trust me, this company will be belly-up within two years! Good luck!
I think having a reputation for suing MTs for
posting on a message board will 'scare off MTs' more than anything else, LOL.
They have a great reputation -- I think it would be fabulous! nm

They've had that reputation for years now. How DO these
s
Good point. I was just speaking of their reputation.
Yes, I second the motion on everything the other poster. Bad test files and reputation
for no pay. I know there was a controversy on here way back about her not paying or something. I cant remember it all but it did not sound good.
Focus has always had a bad reputation as an Indian company to name a few issues
so my belief is that they include that so it sounds like a more creditable company. JMO
the alternative is to allow reputation-damaging lies to go unchallenged ...
Without understanding exactly why TT decided that this lawsuit is worth it on balance, doubtless they were aware it would cause controversy and some (most likely temporary) backlash.
The company I worked for 10-15 years ago that similar sued a couple of ex-employees who went on a rampage bashing them remains one of the largest, if not the largest national around ...
As I said, I don't recall anything about damages ... it may simply have resulted in a court ordered injunction to post no more ...
The medical transciption industry is highly competitive. With the economic downturn of the last year I had expected more than a couple bankruptcies ... I suspect the move from local MTSO's to Nationals is responsible (since they are more likely to qualify for keep-float loans and have more deep-pocket hospital clients who pay on time -- as opposed to shoestring doctors' office practices) -- they also have the deep pockets to pursue litigation.
Again, apparently the people at TT felt that defending their good name in this case was worth it.
Softscript has a very poor reputation. Search the archives and you will see negative info going way

Just checking
Linda Hill and TU are both alive and well. What do you want to know?
Checking
I am going to check mine as well. I understood they paid for this on the first page only is this correct?
Okay, just checking. Please
Any way you can send me an email, cassy? I have some information but would rather not post here (you'll understand once I tell you)!
try checking with the BBB
i am a religious person and would be skeptical of a company that invoked His name in this business.
I would suggest just checking into other
companies to see if you can find a fit for you. I personally have gone back to IC work because I'm tired of the hassles you have to deal with as an employee. Good luck to you, hope it all works out in the end.
enough already with checking spelling and - nm

Checking on Spheris
Need help.....anybody out there work for Spheris? Need honest opinions about the company please!
I'm checking into it. Thanks for your patience.

From my checking around TTS has lowest pay

I will be checking on this. No fair
I currently work QA there and am paid by the line. If they are bringing on new people at an hourly rate, then we all need to be switched to hourly.
Checking credentials
Agree with you Gourdpainter, checking credentials explains many things. The roller coaster started the down slide several years back and will pretty soon be at the point of no return, if not there already. One could sing the song The Way We Were.
ok. just checking. thought maybe the whole
board had been blocked for some reason or other. lol. pouring cats and dogs here, and supposed to have a condo association picnic today! not without my scuba gear! Have a nice day too.
Hi Siren, I was checking the MD-IT website and sm
they acquired SecureMTSource back in June also. Maybe if you check out some of the people who went through it already, that might help. Try a search for SecureMTSource.
I applied with them before checking with MT Stars...
but their offer was so low-ball I declined, after taking their rather rigorous and pain-in-the-neck test. Then I remembered this board and started reading... and thought phew, I dodged THAT bullet!
This is not just about MTSO checking credit. It is

I just spent a lot of time checking the web and the
personally attempt it. Maybe you will get some good feedback from people who actually work there, but there was enough information here for me to realize it may not be the place for me personally... I will see if you get any responses, because I am wondering if there are good things there too... Good luck to you!
I've been checking mine today
They seem pretty accurate, same as for the past +1 year.
One supervisor I had actually said, "They should be checking these reports." uh no, not dr
and she still has her high-paying job while me and others are in the dirt.
There are so many things we MT's need to look for when checking out jobs opportunities ...
We can ask and ask questions, but hard to cover all the bases. There is so much to weigh when looking into these companies anymore. Transtech offers us 11 PTO days, but no sick time, vacation time, NOR paid holidays. Only paid for the holiday if you work it !
I guess the office employees didn't get paid for the holiday, even though they were at home and the office doors closed !
Have been timing off system and checking back in every so often (sm)
so I don't show too many hours on. Used to work for Medquist and their time clock made you paranoid about things like this.
I'd suggest checking the link enclosed. There are

If you're paid by the line, and not for checking - sm
demographics, then the more time you spend checking demographics, the more you are working for free. A little bit of it is one thing, a lot of it is quite another.
Personal computers and have no idea WHAT they are checking for, but they will not get a chance!nm

calculus is with and acalculous is without. I knew that, just double checking. Thnx!

That is why I left. I spent days sitting in front of the computer, checking for
work every 5 minutes (or less) for 8+ hours trying to get work. On my days off I used to work 12+ hour days to make up lines, but then they hired people for Friday-Monday work and then there wasn't extra work to make up lines. I would get up at 3 or 4 a.m. and try to get work. I gave it a good try, frequently asked STM for more work, went over her head. They didn't seem to care, meanwhile I'm taking $300 to $400/month out of savings to cover my bills.
