I have been told and read that Medware offshores. I think you can do better.

There are many American companies that do not offshore. Please steer clear of any offshoring companies at any cost.

Read the post again, it says Transcend is taking new clients. SPHERIS offshores therefore they are
Transcend does not offshore and they are sponsors of MTStars.

Just read you post - I was also told this in the
X
How comes this person wasn't reported to the monitor board? I told someone to read the red note on
I'll probably get banned for writing this, but my comment was much milder than this. I didn't call anyone any names. What's up with this?
SPHERIS offshores
They told the hospital I was working in that they didn't but low and behold, they do. They joined up with Healthscribe, who makes no bones about the fact that they have a company in India. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS THAT THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK.
Whoah! I did not know OSi offshores-how do you know this? (sm)
I've only been there 9 months. One of the reasons I applied to OSi was that I heard they did NOT offshore.
I have enjoyed 'almost' every minute of working for them. I have only run out of work twice and then they switched me to another account so I could keep going. In fact, lately, I've put in extra time because the workload is so heavy.
I am not fresh out of school, either, been an MT for 11 years, but this is my first national. They pay on time and direct deposit. Bennies are decent. QA are nice to work with, and they all are willing to answer questions anytime. They don't bug you either. No whips are cracked over my head. If I have a problem with my service at home... which I had power failures twice (just my luck-never had any in 15 years), no problem. I made up the hours later.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the posts against OSi. They've been good to me, but if they offshore, I'll be thinking differently. Maybe I'll suggest they offshore the ESL work to them. 
I really want to know where you got your info on outsourcing. TIA.
The offshores should be charging more, too....
... even though lots of their work is cr@p.
company that offshores. sm

I won't work for a company that offshores.
Do you care if your company offshores? ...
It really chaps my buns, and I will not work for any company that sends work out of the U.S. How do you feel about it???
I always ask if the company offshores. I have turned down
multiple positions because the companies offshore. I'm now in a dilemma as my company has started offshoring. They are not taking work from me to offshore, but they could not find enough qualified MTs to keep TAT where it needed to be and we were having to work like dogs. They knew they had to do something so they went offshore. I'm still not sure what the difference is - if they have to proof 100% of the offshore work, why can't you proof 100% of U.S MTs and train them trained, even getting a newbie, someone who didn't have the attitude that this is they way I've always done it, etc. I've seen the work that comes back from India and it is not client ready.
I have several years invested with this company. They pay better than anything I have been able to find thus far, I'm comfortable with my accounts, the platform is easy, etc. So what do I do now? There are very few companies that don't offshore, either to India or another country, and they are currently training women in Trinidad, so more work will eventually follow. If I do find a company that doesn't offshore, how long will it be before they do start offshoring. I honestly never thought I would be in the position that I am.
don't work for a company that offshores
The only chance we have, since our president obviously doesn't care, is to NOT work for any company that offshores. Hang up your headphones and walk out.
Otherwise, all is lost. You may have a job today, but it will be gone tomorrow - just as soon as they can get those offshore jerks trained enough to spell "dokter."
But the problem is, as long as the offshores
sell themselves so cheaply, even those workers in the US who have not been displaced will still have trouble eking out a living on such a low wage.
Spheris also offshores to India. Shameful.
Transcend does not send work offshores...sm
and continues to fight against offshoring.
Not true. I work for a company that offshores.
Good grief.
Transcend has taken on new clients and Spheris offshores so they are not allowed to

I just saw another MT site advertising a service that offshores that boasts the company as
transcription companies in the US! Of course, it doesn't surprise this long time MT considering the owner of the site highly promotes offshore transcription. I am disgusted and have canceled their newsletter.

Medware
Anyone with information on Medware. Would appreciate any input. Thank you in advance.
Medware
This was the worst of the worst for me. I went back to working for a hospital (at home) after a month with them!
Medware
Can anyone tell me how long it took to get hired with this company? I spoke with a recruiter last week, who acted like everything was all set and haven't heard from him since. I did send himi an e-mail, but got no reply. I didn't want to call and be a pester either, but I would like to know something. I was just curious if this length of time was normal or not....Thanks
MedWare
Well, on the other side of the coin there is the fact that they have an easy-to-use platform, you get feedback/corrections for every report you send into QA, they offer good medical and dental benefits that are affordable, there are 7 paid holidays and at least 10 vacation days per year given, my supervisor is approachable and allows flexibility within reason, and, in my experience at least, we do not run out of work frequently.
The fact that they have a subsidiary in India does not bother me. Nowdays, it is a fact of life in this, and many other businesss.
I've been very happy in my years with Medware and have no plans to leave.
Like I said... I know not everyone agrees with my views on this, but I did want you to have another opinion from the opposite side.

Medware
Medware has gone through a lot of changes recently and not all of them good. The mentality is based on quantity, not quality. If you want to push through a lot of charts for low pay and no raises, then Medware is for you.
Only a couple of positives: They do not deduct for errors, pay is made on time, vacation pay, but you have to work 3 holidays a year. Platform is easy to use. Flexibility in scheduling is a huge plus.
MedWare
I have been happy there and am in my 3rd year of employment. In my personal experience I can say that I do not have accounts that are "picked over" due to outsourcing. Mine are great, as is my supervisor.
Medware
What's the general consensus with regards to Medware? Thanks in advance.
medware
It doesn't make any sense. I passed it but they keep telling me I only scored an 82. HOw can you score an 82 when all your answers are right??
Medware
I had been with another company for nearly six years when I switched to Medware. I love Medware! They're like any other company wherein benefits are available, but you are required to work 40 hours a week and produce your required line count. Isn't that just the same as other companies? QAs are quarterly, the pay is fair, and I have had great supervisors...just the best!!! I think some of the comments I have seen about Medware are harsh. I've worked for the worst and feel Medware is one of the very best!!!
Medware
I absolutely loved working for Medware. I worked for them for about 6 months. I quit, as I was moonlighting and working a fulltime job. It became too much. I would go back there in a heartbeat though!
Medware
I currently work for Medware and love it. The people are all great and I always have work.
Go with Medware! SM
GREAT benefits, GREAT team leaders, GREAT atmosphere just to name a few things. I worked BRIEFLY for JLG and was not very happy with them at all. The people were GREAT but the platform sucked. Also, I was not able to get much flexibility in scheduling. I have been with Medware for a year and a half now and absolutely LOVE my job and actually ENJOY coming to work! HTH!
MEDWARE INC
Do yourself a favor and do not work for Medware INC. 'Where there is smoke, there is fire.'
Regarding Medware
Someone who is disgruntled and who does not care to state WHY not to work at Medware. I work at Medware (on the Merit side...used to work on the Dictaphone side as a shift leader and delta) and I am VERY happy here, and have been for over 3 years now. It is still a great company to work for. Yes, there are a LOT of changes that have gone on over the past 1-1/2 years, but so far, have all been positive, so unless you care to elaborate, "I" love Medware and hope to retire here. As with any any job, there is ALWAYS going to be something that someone is not happy with. I think if you talk with the management personally (and respectfully) you might agree. JMO!!
Medware ---so far, so good --
Startup is quick. Supportive trainers. Like their platform. MT-friendly software.
Medware or Spheris
Medware wasn't a bad company and the benefits were good. The only complaint I had is they told me I would get a certain account, but when I started I ended up with 3 others, not including the one they told me I would get. I was started on all 3 at the same time and yes it got confusing. I worked for Edix, now Spheris, and the schedules were very very rigid there.
Can anyone tell me what Medware insurance
rates are for 2 people (me & hubby)?
Thanks!
Feedback about Medware?
Okay, gang, here is one more. I see that they are listed as the 2005 and 2002 AAMT Employer of the Year, and I am scheduled to test with them tomorrow.
Any feedback, good or bad, on Medware?
Medware has benefits???
The only benefit I heard of was their paying half of self-employment taxes. They said they do not offer full-time employment; they offer statutory employment which means they offer one benefit--the full-time employment tax half-payment. Where do I find out about the medical, dental, etc. you mentioned?
Do you find BayScribe easy to use and to learn?
About how many lines per hour is your average? How many on a good day? I'm just wondering about what productivity people are REALLY having in the company, as opposed to what a recruiter might tell me.
Information on Medware
Thinking about working for them. Any input. Thanks.
Medware and Meridian?
Anyone know anything about these companies. I'm currently working but really need to get at least a part-time job as our work is extremely slow and I get the feeling that they are losing the account that I currently work on. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
I suggest trying Medware
I'm starting with them 7/1, but I can tell you the hiring process was one of the best I've experienced. The recruiter was super friendly. Once I applied, they got back with me within a few days. Also, the testing process was very reasonable. Great benefits from what I've read (on here) and they don't change your accounts frequently. Take care and good luck!
I too worked for medware
a few years back and absolutely loved it! I had to quit do to personal reason. Great bunch of people!
I believe Medware is hiring for ER accounts right now. sm
