Are there any good companies - D


Posted: Aug 24, 2013

I was wondering if there are any good companies to work for? I worked in the pathology department of a hospital for 8 years and now I am looking to work from home, but it seems like all the transcription companies I check into have a lot of negatives about them.

They need to put a big post at the top of this board - answering this very question.

Scroll down and read. You are NOT going to find someone that gives you a list of the "good companies" because they are few and far between and those MTs that do work there aren't going to give up the name and have the company receive hundreds of resumes.

Your best bet.....Look and see who is actually hiring and do a search on that company and see what you can find out. After you have done that, there is nothing wrong with coming on here and asking for specific information about a SPECIFIC company, but the random "Give me a good company" spill has gotten quite old for the MTs here who MANY are struggling trying to find a good company themselves.

big post - best idea I have heard in a long time - sick of this question

I assume these questions are coming from new MTs, but, really, it's like asking someone to find you a job. Your response was just excellent.

yes - there are

But you would have to define what good means to you and then match that with the opinion of every MT who posts here and then determine if your definition and theirs really match and then decide if the negatives are really positives or the positives are really negatives and if good is really bad or bad is really good and then decide for yourself how to go to some real research and find a job.

Hi, I have worked for Precyse for 2 months now coming from a major health insurer and making good money. Precyse pays on time, leaves me alone to do my job, seems to be a great company. However, pay is like most MTSO's, not great. I am making less than half what I was making before. It seems that the poster who stated to research companies and decide what "good" means to you gave you good advice. Nowhere have I seen pay commensurate with the knowledge and expertise we must have as MT's. Hope this helps.

D - please sm

By now, after (or hopefully before) asking your question, I hope you have looked around this site, especially the Nuance and M*Modal boards over there to the left. IMO, there really is no good company left in this business. MT is a dying and really pretty much dead "career." Even if you look at that "other" job site, it's the same companies constantly looking for help, basically because they have beat the rest of us to a pulp, for lack of a better word.

Again, if you take some time to read these boards, many (or most) of us are trying so hard to get out of MT completely. I know because I am one of them. I am just about finished my schooling and hopefully will be out of MT in the very near future (and I have no intention of looking back). Maybe the hospital you work/worked for has another position you can "slide" into?

because nobody can actually claim medical transcription is a good field to go into right now! Let's just be honest at least! We're being replaced, and what's left is mostly garbage jobs.

Even someone who has managed to hang onto something good, cannot say that the industry as a whole is in good shape, not when point and click is being rapidly adopted, as well as off shoring, pay and benefits have been stagnant for a decade or slashed, and many community colleges have dropped the program altogether.

M*Modal is Awesomesauce! - Amazeballs!

Don't listen to the haters, and don't waste your time "researching."

Trust me - cross your fingers they accept you and hope you can get in with the good guys!

Wow you sound like corporate!!!!! - too bad

Good Companies Out There???

Are there truly any good companies out there??? I can't begin to tell you how many I have been through in the last couple of years. I finally thought I found a good home with JLG, been with them since August and for the most part been pretty content. Then, we got bought out and guess by who, MQ! Now I have been with MQ before, twice! And both times leaving because I was not happy with their CHANGES! And here I am once again grandfathered in due to the buy out.

I have been working for an excellent company for seven years. Unfortunately, they were put out of business by a bunch of poachers from one of the national MTSOs. We were well paid and treated like gold. Now I'm scrambling trying to get applications out, but nearly every company I have considered has turned out to have at least two horror stories about not getting paid, being underpaid, mistreated employees, etc. Is anybody out there having a good experience? Does anybody have first-hand kno ...

Good Companies And Bad Ones..
May 21, 2015

I see posts on here from time to time complaining about employers.  Granted, some employers are worse than others and some are just plain bad.  However, I think we get so wrapped up in "ourselves" and what we want, that we forget to take a lot of things into consideration when we are up on our soapbox in a public, yet "anonymous" forum.  Let's just get it straight here - there are no "perfect" companies -- just like there are no "perfect" individuals - but there are some comp ...

I love my job! And before anyone asks, NO, I will not give out the name of the company, because I don't want them being overwhelmed with emails and phone calls. Yes, I did look for this position for over a year, and worked for one not so nice company and two wonderful companies that just were not a matc ...

Are there any good MT companies out there any longer that actually pay something that we can live on?  I know all about the "if you want to earn more, work more" deal but honestly, the pay has depreciated so much you would have to work 12 hours a day to make what I used to make in 8.  Didn't go to school and get into this field of work 15 years ago to make less than a waitress.  Any good companies out there? ...

Are there ANY good companies out there? I only see negative about every single company that is hiring. Seriously, only negative.  Never a good word about any of them.

I've worked for MedQuist, need I say it?  Both of these were not my choice but buyouts of fantastic companies.  So, let's hear it.... are there any good ones left? ...

I'm certainly getting discouraged by reading more and more on this board.  I used to work for MModal when it was Medquist and they seem just as bad on here.  TTS has bad reviews.  Seriously other than working at an office, which simply isn't feasible for me, are there any reputable, legit companies out there?  I went to the job seeker's board, but it seems it's all FT, or Nuance/TTS/MModal.  Glad I kept my other job, but I had wanted a little extra i ...
