What Trans Companies should I avoid/See message - Rusty

Posted: Sep 26, 2014

Okay, so done with Mmodal. I am seriously looking for a new job. What companies do I avoid? Are there any companies worth looking at out there? I could use some guidance with this since my past experience has been with mostly small local companies, that is until MM bought them out. Oh, I wish for the good old days. Thanks for all your help :)

Though I am a bit embarrassed to say this, I have worked for more - sm

companies than I care to admit and I have yet to run across one worth looking into (been working for MTSOs for 20 years and I would say I have worked for 50 companies at least). All I can say is what might fit you may not have fit me.

Sorry, all of them - Because...

...you have your sign. The small place got bought up by the big place. That's what has been happening for years now.

If you are wanting to chase transcription companies, that is your choice. But meanwhile, I would seriously set your sights on getting out of the biz like many of us have.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Get out? I'm in my late 50s and this is all I have ever done. I did some menial crap before going to school as an MT, but nothing I could do now. No heavy lifting, standing on my feet in one place. I just want a steady workflow, not NJA all day, everyday. Wow, this is depressing.

I love saying that word..."Googling." Sounds so naughty ;-D

Anyway, seriously. Set aside some time to sit down at your computer and search for "transcription company" and plug in your state first. Then, do those same 2 words and another state. And then another state. And so on.

This will pull up any little guys who don't get much, if any, air time on this chat site. The little guys are where it's at and you may be pleasantly surprised! Good luck!

My neighbor recently asked me about work-at-home jobs (she is disabled), and I was able to find the following for her:

I am the person who said "all of them, because..." I am 59 years old. I got out when I was 57. I understand what you are saying--it's not easy, because that's all that's on our resume.

I totally understand about being our age and not able anymore to do heavy lifting or continued strenuous activity or standing for long periods.

If you are choosing to stay in the biz, please go in with your eyes open that if you find a "nice" place to work in MT, that it isn't going to be "nice" for long.

Yes, it is depressing. I got out by telling everyone I knew that I was looking for work, and an office job scheduling patients in a small doctor's office came my way. Also, when doing a resume, highlight your computer experience in how you word your experience, and be sure to put in the cover letter or Objective section of your resume that you are looking for... whatever it is, clerical work...

I am not discouraging you from staying in the business, just go in with your eyes open so you aren't disappointed when the next "nice" MT company goes belly up or sells out.

I am in my late 50s too and I am getting OUT, have been doing this since I was 18. I finally value myself and my job skills and REFUSE to be part of the global feminization of poverty for myself, my daughters and granddaughters. 20 years ago I made $50,000 PART-TIME, full benefits, at the hospital I worked for. I am seeking to work via my own accounts with local doctors where I, I, I, I, I, me, me, me, me, will decide what wage I will take and what wage I will not. My TIME is MONEY. No more OT for free, down time for free, no wage increases, nothing to look forward to, barely survivable wages.

I would avoid ALL of them. MTSOs have ruined - the profession and offshored it.

Do you ever find it annoying when you are getting enough work each day in the pool and all of a sudden some of the doctors or accounts "disappear", and when you ask your boss about it, they do not respond to your question? It is not that I am inconsistent with my coverage on the accounts or doing poor-quality work, I am off of QA and do not get any negative feedback, or any feedback for that matter, from the client. ...

DicTran had few reviews online so when we looked into purchasing their platform we could only rely on the deceptive sales presentation from their owner Bill. The company claimed to be able to satisfy all our needs but after we paid them communication became a major issue. Our MT's hate the platform since it forces them to use their custom software which has numerous errors. When we try to contact them for support they just might as well not exist. The worst part of the experience is we pay ...

Sciance Transcription is a company sending most work to India, doesn't pay. I mean, I worked and I am not getting a paycheck. I have had to file a complaint with Labor Commission. They are not honest and do not communicate. When asked if we get paid the 0.095 per line for the # we see...or...are they still deducting spaces from that number? They won't answer you. They pay for black characters only, so you could think you are getting paid for a 1000 li ...

Been with this company for 11, almost 12, years and now we have new QA who have NO clue what they're doing. No report is sent through without their checking it and messing it up first. And no two QA make the same changes. It's so frustrating to love a job and then dread working due to the unprofessional editing. No wonder they're losing accounts left and right. We're normally without work and I think my loyalty showed I was going to be there, at ...

I'd avoid Softscript like the plague. They are about the worst company I've ever had the misfortune of working for. They turn over staff constantly, the backstabbing and nasty emails from "management" never ceases, and finally, they set you up for failure. Always out of work, PTO is terrible. I could go on and on, but will not. I worked for them for 2 long and tortuous years, and I would not recommend them to anyone. ...

I tried to get my hours switched just by a half hour earlier this week. I normally work 6 am to 11 am central time and i tried to get her to change it to 5:30 am to 10:30 am. Instead she emails me and wants me to change my hours to 12-5 pm because supposedly 90% of her workers work the night shift. If so many MTs are working the night shift, then why am I constantly running out of work during the day hours? She asks me to help out today by working an ext ...

I recently worked for Saince for a few months, and was recently laid off. I feel like I have been not told the truth from the beginning about this company. They said they were NOT a company owned from India, but yes they are. They said they wanted full-time employees, but when I was laid off they said that all of their employees are considered "part-time." I was also told I was caught in a numbers crunch and I was caught in the middle. They also told me they wanted ...

Avoid Saince. They are intrusive, constantly calling and they don't pay. They hijacked my PC for 33-1/2 hours and their paperwork said they pay $10 an hour and then today I was told they only pay a flat rate $100. HELLO!! THEY OWE ME $335 BEFORE TAXES THANK YOU! They pay by black character only which means you don't get paid for spaces so you type 22 reports a day and average about 600 lines. Nice! When asked if you get paid according to the line co ...
