BEWARE - DO NOT APPLY - fstgrl

Posted: Jul 25, 2011

I would totally be leery of this job. They are liars and cheats and are always wanting you to work your days off and over, but pay you NO OVERTIME!! THIS COMPANY SUCKS AND DOES NOT GIVE A RATS BEHIND ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. I have worked there 4 years and never got a raise, much less any respect for the 21 years I have worked as an MT. They have no respect for their employees. I WOULD NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.........

where? what company? - huh?

I am no longer there and I do have a grip. Ask anyone who works with me. These people are a joke. I worked with the Radiology Sup for over 9 years. 5 for a different company and 4 for TT. So I do know what I am talking about. I don't just spew hatred. Only my experiences with them and what the facts as they are true according to ME and ME ALONE. I am simply doing what everyone does on here and that is put my OPINION out there. If you don't like it, any of you, don't read it and move on. That simple. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am factual and fair. I have dealt with a lot of companies out there in the past 21 years that I have been doing transcription and these people by far are the sneakiest, backstabbing worst liars I have ever had to deal with. If you don't like what I have to say or don't agree, it doesn't bother me in the least. Only I know what I have been dealing with and I know what is true and what isn't, through my own experience. I am sure others have theirs, good and bad. Just saying...

I respectfully disagree - sm

They have bent over backwards for me during a time when I needed a lot of time off and needed to flex my schedule for a few months. No company gives raises anymore. All companies run out of work, but TT understands low work times and allows us to flex when we want.

you have your opinion, I have mine - fstgrl

Obviously..........They are all liars.

respectfully disagree----naive? - kibbles

[ In Reply To ..]
Seriously....you really believe the "flexing" is a favor to you?! Wow, I didn't quite look at it that way. After spending 8 hours looking for work and being told to flex when they panicked about TAT..for some reason, I didn't see as they were doing me a favor by "allowing" me to flex and be on call 24/7. I guess it is all just in how you look at things.
Just my opinion.

I totally agree on this. I have children and a life other than transcription - flexing not something I am grateful for

I have a friend whose relative is a one of those aspiring Wall Street'ers and he was interested in hearing about my work as an MT. He had done some research and looked at the publicly traded companies in our industry. With the growth of an ageing population the documents we provide is more and more needed. But that also creates a potential for a takeover of publically traded companies. Just my (or his) opinion. ...

I recently responded to an ad on Craig's List for an MT medical editor because I'm interested in getting into that. I got a test and a bunch of info back from a Larry Perrone of ANP Transcription. Fortunately I googled ANP before doing anything and there are piles of complaints here and at other sites about them not paying MTs. I sent Mr. Perrone some samples of comments MTs wrote about their habit of not paying us and told him I won't be working for them. So beware! I guess ...

I'm sure we are all aware, but if considering employment with them be VERY careful. I have gone round and round for days with them that legally they cannot require a schedule of an IC...but they don't care, one bit. Told me to look elsewhere then, after passing their testing, etc. I cannot believe a company this supposedly big does not even try to care when this issues is addressed to them, makes me want to report them. I know many companies that have been fined for this exact thing an ...

On Call does not care because we work for BS and not for him. Do not work for these people. This happened to at least 2 MTs in the past 4 months. ...

There are reasons why a company has to keeping hiring for the same positions over and over again. Inscribe is that company. Most of the Tx are IC's but are forced to do the work of employees, i.e., training new transcriptionists, editing their work, being on call 24 7, computer-generated phone calls telling Tx's to get online any time of day or night, being on instant messenger AIM while transcribing in order to be able to help new people while you are transcribing - ...

My company was bought out by Nuance several months ago and it has turned into a complete nightmare! Not only are the managers and sups arrogant and awful, but literally all the decent work has been sent to India and we are left with the dregs. The benefits stink, The people stink, I feel so sorry for what you are in store for. At the time of the buyout, we were told nothing would change. That lasted for all of a month. Then BAM! Watch out! ...

BEWARE AND BE SURE you are truly an Independent contractor. This info is available on the IRS.GOV website (type Independent contractor in the SEARCH box and then click on IC defined). I was going to work for a company who later informed me that i would be REQUIRED to look up patient information that was not dictated by going to a different website and searching thru the paperwork looking for the information. I know from experience that doing this seriously cuts into My Line Count and MY PAY. I w ...

Beware: If you are thinking about becoming a Medical Transcriptionist ask yourself these questions first - Do I like working every weekend and Holiday? Do I like working more than 80 hours a week to just barely make more than $10/Hr.? Do I like having to worry about losing my job in a year or two to a computer? If your answer to any of these questions is no, than you might want to reconsider becoming a Medical Transcriptionist. The perk of working at home has lost i ...

Just quit there. Seriously lacks organization. Their India "allocation" team throws bits and pieces at you, very low volume, but then hammers your IM to death. Example, a 12 minute report is assigned, I would just get started on it and within less than 10 minutes they want to know where it is. WTF?! If the 2 US managers are out of the office and the India team is in charge, it's a nightmare. Then, even if the US managers are there, it's slim pickins as far as volume goes and then they ...

You can do with this info whatever you see fit, but I'm just sayin'...if you're applying w/M*Modal, they will not even consider you if you've EVER been terminated. They do not even consider any circumstances whatsoever. I was terminated from my last MT position after they laid off all my help but still expected ME to do ALL the work. Go figure. From what I know from my old pals there, the MT situation there is still totally hopeless. Karma's a right? ...

Do not work for Accutran in Indiana unless you want to work for free. I got my money JL owed me 3 months after submitting an invoice after threatening her with pressing charges for theft. She had many excuses as to why she could not pay me including blaming Obama. She also lied to me about when I was going to receive my check. She believes it is okay to not pay an MT in a timely manner. She told me when I started, I would be paid 30 days after the invoice ...

There are so many things wrong with this scenario I cannot even wrap my head around it. Fight your supposed errors with everything you can. Someone who thinks the word is eye-cycle instead of icicle should not be doing audits. Just my humble opinion. Especially now with the 99.7 standard looming. One error is all it takes to fail now. ...

Surprise, I was made to feel like an idiot again yesterday. In the middle of the report the doc mumbled a drug so I went to look it up on an old report. I got a message that my password expired and to change it to continue. I did so. When I got back to the 77 line report, I got a 3 line error, not sure what it meant but I clicked okay. It acted normal for rest of report. During next report, got the same error, did not understand what it meant, clicked okay and continued. What it should ha ...

I use a program called DSS2Wave which converts DSS/DS2 files to Wav files. I LOVE this program and have been using it for over 2 years. When I went to renew it earlier this month, I never received the code for the license. Program is unusable. I can't even get it off my computer to reinstall the 30-day trial, and there isn't another program out there as good as this one. Thankfully I paid via Paypal, and after attempting contact multiple times via the email, website, phone number ( ...

i just received an email from a MT that is in another country asking me to consider a business deal whereby I would send her work and take 30% of her pay for myself. She emailed me directly from one of my posts here. She may be sending this letter to many on this board as I do not know why she would have just singled out one of us. I reported this to the webmaster and just want to give a heads up to all on the board. ...

It sends you to different websites when you try to go to McAfee, Microsoft, etc. It is called Koobface. Be careful, I had it on both my desktop and laptop. ...
