I have an idea, let's try this - sm

Posted: Jun 13, 2012

I know people are happy at their jobs and I applaud you for finding the right fit and hope it continues for you---I am asking all you happy MTs to post the name of the company you work for?!?!?!?! You are willing to share all other information about the company share the name with us---we all want to know which companies are good out there, all we usually hear about are the bad ones, no hesitation there to share the name for sure.

No secrets here... - Happy2

I work for Oracle Transcription. Have for years. They only hire ICs, that is absolutely the only draw back I can think of about the company. Great accounts. Great management. Great QA. Great platform. Above all else, courteous, respectful and they treat ICs like ICs (gasp!!!) You tell them how many lines you will type per pay period and you type when and if you want to. Period. I will never go anywhere else if I can help it.

Oracle - sm

I have heard a lot of good things about Oracle, definitely must be one of the good ones for sure - Glad you got with a great company (or should I say two lol)

I would love to get a response from them - Snow Bunny

[ In Reply To ..]
but they have yet to respond to my online application. It's been over 48 hours.

You have GOT to be kidding!! "It's been over 48 hours?"!!!! - OTIer

[ In Reply To ..]
I work for Oracle too, great company, but 48 hours.........seriously?!! They get hundreds of applications. First of all they aren't hiring right now, and secondly, for Heaven sake they don't sit and monitor every application that comes in every minute of the day!!!

I agree - but

[ In Reply To ..]
geeesh...could have said that a whole lot nicer...maybe someone like 48 hours really is nothing when it comes to these companies getting resumes, give it some time and hopefully you will hear something...yea sounds better to me.

You would be silly to post the names of any jobs you value - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
The best MTSOs don't like to see their names plastered everywhere. Also, they don't want to start hearing from hundreds of unhappy MTs who want to go to work for them. They already have their sources for new MT applicants. If they find out you posted their name, you may be one of those unhappy MTs looking for a good MTSO.

Doubtful - anonon

[ In Reply To ..]
I highly doubt a company would go out of their way to search to find out who was behind a post that praised their company to fire them. I think that is the silliest thing I've ever heard.

I would suggest not going in and telling them you posted about how great they are - Just saying

[ In Reply To ..]
Not a good idea.

See?! - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
If you don't want to be helpful, don't post anything. This didn't answer the OP, you are actually telling others what to do, and then threatening that anyone who says they like their company and it's a good one may be fired! I wish mods would delete exaggerated, non-factual posts like this. How ridiculous. And how on earth would you personally know and speak for how "all" these best MTSOs feel? Another silly tangent instead of helpful info that just clutters up the OP's response thread.

you would be silly - MT nomore

[ In Reply To ..]
Thats a new one, because we always wanted to see our MTs brag about us. As far as having people apply, as a company, you always want to have people applying, means you are doing a good job keeping your people happy!

Sorry, I will not post the name of my company - Mrs. B.

[ In Reply To ..]
because my boss has asked me not to. It is a mid-sized national and the last time I posted its name, HR was flooded with apps from newbies, MTs from the matchbook schools, etc. HR is a small department and they just do not want to have to deal with all that. Instead, if I know someone PERSONALLY and know their work ethic and the quality of their work, I mention them to my supervisor. Only THEN do I tell the person that my supervisor would like to see her resume. BTW, my company regularly gets bashed on these boards, but I make a great wage and have never been happier in my life. (I have worked for three major nationals as well as small companies.) The company I work for now does advertise on this site, to perhaps you will get lucky!

One thing you said - tells the story

[ In Reply To ..]
your company gets bashed on here, I think you are embarrassed to say who it is for fear of others lashing out at you and calling you a liar and believe me I can totally understand that, everyone has their own and different experience with companies, glad yours worked out but at least be honest and say that's the reason. I think that's why a lot of people won't post names of companies - sad situation all the drama these boards can create!

It does not tell the story at all - Mrs. B.

[ In Reply To ..]
Please do not make assumptions. To do so does not serve you. The reason I will not give out the name is because my boss asked me not to. He does not want to deal with newbie apps and people from matchbook schools. That's all it is. And I do not blame him.

Why - ls

[ In Reply To ..]
then did you bother posting on the OPs thread. They asked for people to tell the name of the company they work for if they are happy there. all you did was boast about how happy you are and then say my boss told me not to tell. Sort of defeats the purpose.

I posted too, to say that it isn't smart to plaster your employer's name around - and cause them extra work

[ In Reply To ..]
When I work for an employer, I work in their best interests. I don't go on boards and encourage anonymous strangers to flood them with applications. If I thought I might do it, I would check with them first to see how they felt about it.

Others may not have written a reply here but were smart enough not to talk about their company in public without their permission. It's just common sense.

To be more specific, I want the people who own/manage/work for any company that I like and respect to spend time doing things that bring in money for them. I'm not going to do anything that will waste their time.

Posting Company Names - Stubby

[ In Reply To ..]
The problem with posting the names of companies that have happy MTs is that the hundreds plus of MTs who read this board will then inundate these companies with emails, phone calls, etc., unsolicited. Most GOOD companies don't want that kind of attention and for someone who is very happy, keeping the office/HR staff happy is as important as the MTs being happy. If people would just be happy to FILE AWAY the "good company" information and refer to it when they see postings for open positions that would be fine, but unfortunately that is not what happens. I (and most other happy MTs) are not willing to create hardship on the office, anonymously or not; I want them to care about my quality of life and I in turn will care about theirs. The thoughts of them receiving 100s of resumes, emails, phone calls does not equate to a good quality of life.

Addendum - Stubby

[ In Reply To ..]
I should clarify that I am speaking primarily about smaller companies, not the larger companies that probably can accommodate the heavy traffic that giving high marks on this board might generate (and might actually enjoy it), but like my home office that has only about 10 people including owner, payroll, HR, account managers; asking them to field that kind of traffic would be a nightmare for them!

Stubby - Mrs. B.

You said it more perfectly than I did! That is it exactly.

Totally disagree - no company is going to

[ In Reply To ..]
fire you for praising their company, can't believe that was even said!

[ In Reply To ..]
Hey SM, those happy in their jobs are no longer with the contract companies. I was a member of the contract hell for 8 years with 3 different companies and it sucked big time. Unfortunately, hospitals are outsourcing now and not seeing that keeping us under their employ gives them so much better quality! MR Management is getting so lazy (I was one, I know!!)

Posting Company name - anon

Why would we put our jobs in jeopardy by posting a company name? They usually have enough people already. The more we post the names the less work we have.

No secrets here either - MxSecure - CB

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm sorry so many people posted JUST to tell you that they won't (!) and hijacked your question.

I'm pretty confident in my position, and my company's ability to handle emails and resumes ;). I've been happy at MxSecure, and I don't think the owners will be "upset" that I believe it's a good company to work for and recommend it as one of the better ones. I transcribe about 75% straight, 25% VR. Pay is average but there are incentives for both. Benefits, holiday pay, no weekends are some of the perks. Nice people too. I haven't seen any ads, however, since last year, so don't believe they are hiring.

mxsecure - offshores

[ In Reply To ..]
that's why you won't see ads for them here.

seems like a contradiction then - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
to have nuance and medquist boards, when they offshore too.

I actually liked MxSecure - just me

[ In Reply To ..]
Liked them, worked for them several years back. Wish I could have stayed, but I was too injured and working another job I absolutely hated that paid higher. What good is a higher pay when you do everything to avoid it and not much line count though is what I told my husband. Now I wish I would have stayed, as medical benefits are gold to me.

Request to post the names of great companies. - Happy MX MT

[ In Reply To ..]
In reading this thread 2 things strike me. First, that someone would think a company would not be happy with its employees posting good things about it. Being inundated with apps and emails? Hello? If they're not hiring, they either save the emails/apps for when they need to hire or they delete them. It's not difficult. This reasoning is insane to me. Almost as insane as people refusing to state names of companies on this site.

This is called the Company Board afterall. Why would you be reading this board if you didn't expect people to mention names of companies. Yes, I too work for MX and yes, I too am happy (though they did cut everyone's pay when they went to employee-only status). I actually like the fact that someone wants to hear of the good companies out there. Too often this board is just full of griping and one might wonder if there are any good companies still out there.

The pay at MX is just barely average nowadays, but I've been with them a long time and think they're great! They have expensive benefits but do offer them. They have a TON of holidays and generous sick time. I rarely run out of work. And like a previous poster, I would never dream that they would have a problem with an MT complimenting their (our) company.

If an MT is comfortable with her skill set, why would she feel uncomfortable telling other MTs that she works for a great company-- and NAMING that company? We're all in this together. My theory is that if you don't want to share the name of the company you work for, you don't feel too secure in your job (or you're paranoid).

MX Secure! Out of Scottsdale, AZ. Yes they offshore to the Philippines and you should know this before you apply.

Request continued - Stubby

[ In Reply To ..]
Well that is one, narrow-minded way to look at it (must be paranoid or lack job security??!!).

Another way to consider it is just as I said before - in a small company that does not employ a recruiter who can spend 100% of their time screening applications and interviewing, but rather a small office where staff wear many hats and recruitment is very low on their list of things to do (except when they have an actual opening), posting their name on this board is not doing them a favor. The truth is most smaller companies, even when hiring, do not use this board or any of the other MT sites to recruit, but rather prefer word of mouth referrals. Most companies now, not just in this industry, also do not want unsolicited resumes/applications; when there are openings, they will ask for them.

Now if someone posts on this board asking a question about the company I work for, I will gladly answer it (and have done so in the past), but to just give company names in response to a generic post, i.e., good or bad companies is not prudent in all cases.
That doesn't necessarily mean we are paranoid or inept; perhaps CONSIDERATE of others would be a better analysis (at least in my case).

Stubby - MX MT

I'm sorry if my comment sounded condescending. I hate the fact that I contributed to the sometimes negative posts in these forums. I still don't understand your viewpoint nor that of your employer who doesn't want their companies swamped with applications. In this day and age, it's nothing to delete them with a flick of the mouse or throw them in a file if you get them in the mail. I can't understand why someone would not want a large base of applications if they need to hire someone. If they only hire by inside referrals, left them post this on their website.

It's sad that the gripes about companies outnumber the useful and helpful info re. good companies out there. (And this is like 10:1 IMO.) If there weren't MTs willing to talk about their companies, there shouldn't be a Company Board forum. Again, this is just my opinion but I think it's cool that enough MTs are willing to help their fellow MTs obtain a GOOD job with a GOOD employer by actually disclosing NAMES and wages.

Continued - Stubby

[ In Reply To ..]
Well, I don't know your background, but I have worked in-house and in various offices and even the act of having to clean out your email inbox can be overwhelming some days.

I used to be a residency program coordinator and was responsible for screening all applications to our program - let me tell you that there were days where I received more than 500 application submissions; at one point my mailbox had more than 6300 total emails (that I kept trying to get time to move to folders, etc., but was too busy). I too had many other responsibilities in my position and it took exorbitant amounts of time to screen, keep or delete the applications. I disagree that most companies want a large base of applications - circumstances change (quite often in this field) and likely, depending on the age of the application, the information is not current, especially when you consider that most small, GOOD companies aren't experiencing much turnover and therefore would not be referring to those saved resumes in a timely fashion. In an office environment, all time is precious and the constant receipt of unsolicited calls and emails definitely impacts a person's efficiency and having frazzled office staff is not the best use of human resources.

Like I said if someone posts a question about a company I currently work for or have worked for and I feel I have something to add, then I will gladly give that information, good or bad. I just don't like the shotgun approach to obtaining that information.

The company board functions as it should - there is plenty of good information about a lot of specific companies on this board (I agree the gripes outnumber the useful) with many different perspectives as to what constitutes good or bad; those are really relative terms - other than not paying correctly and on time, the parameters for determining "good or bad" are quite subjective so we all must weigh the information given and apply our own critical thinking to it to make the best decision for ourselves. I too believe it is important that we share information about specific companies when asked, I just choose not to wreck havoc on my home office to PROVE that I'm not paranoid or inept in answer to a generic subjective question.

very considerate. Wish more people thought like you do - just me

[ In Reply To ..]
How very astute you are. Nothing like trying to transcribe accounts yourself and run a company, and then place an ad to be completely buried in applicants who all want personal answers back, up to 14,000 responses at once. It is impossible.
