I just tested with MModal, how long should I wait for a response or can I call them for the scores a - quietlydisquiet

Can't imagine ever reaching the point of desperation where I would chase MModal down for a job.

Are they that bad? - quietlydisquiet

I have been putting out resumes and testing everywhere since Monday and no one has gotten back to me. I hate the holidays, all my freelance clients are on vacation and not giving me any work ATM. So frustrating. Just a phone interview or something with any company would be nice...

YES. - THEY ARE.

NO WORK. Keep looking.

LOL ... you should read down this list of threads - for an answer to your question

You're probably not going to get a lot of positive responses to your question so it's best to read up on MModal for yourself by scanning down the list of threads. Most of us have never heard of anyone actually "eager" to work for this company - it's actually kind of humorous. It's like someone ASKING to be booked into a prison cell.

I see them advertise everywhere. - quietlydisquiet

Oh well, on to the next... so many tests I wish I was getting paid for all these lines but hopefully I will get something that will keep me busy soon. I've been freelancing for a local doctor who is old school since I lost my hospital job. Not sure how much longer he will be around, he is always out of the office lately so I really need to find a good MTSO. This is my first time on the site, there is so much going on here. I will go look around more for sure.

You would be much better off ... - anon

Finding the "Company Board" option on the list of topics in the menu on the left and doing a search on some of your companies for some honest feedback from people who have worked there before testing, etc ... that will save you a ton of time and aggravation. The truth is, there are very few (if any) good MTSOs out there anymore.

Yes MM can be frustrating and aggravating with pay, work availability, etc., etc., but if you need insurance it is worth the aggravation. The insurance, premiums, and deductibles are hard to beat compared to other companies. I have been with MM for 10 years and get discouraged and disgusted but the insurance keeps me going. There is good and bad with any of the companies, everyone has their own opinion so make your own choices and form your own opinions. Good luck!

Are they that bad? - Beyond bad!

[ In Reply To ..]
This company is beyond the worst of the worst. Do you really think you will make money with MM? I highly doubt it. If you have a job and are in limbo, do something temporary, or if you can find an MT job other than MM, go for it, but STAY AWAY and I mean STAY AWAY from this spawn of the devil!

They require - old and burned out

99.6% accuracy so just a few inconsequential words (like "and" or "the") left out and you fail, could be put on 100% QA at 3 cpl less than you were hired for. Don't do it.

Started with MModal years ago when they were Healthscribe (they were wonderful back than, lots of money made) After about two years or so, company changed names to Avicis (I think) and then merged with Medquist a year or so later.....that was the beginning of the end for me....Stuck with it for about a year after the merger and just could not survive on 4.5 cents a line. The program they were using did not "learn" like it was "supposed to" and I ended up having to pretty much completely retype all of the voice rec crap. Not worth it. I was working 12 to 13 hours a day just to make ends meet so when the opportunity came for me to get away from Medquist (aka MModal) I ran as fast as I could and took a couple of girls with me. FYI

MM just stinks and now you don't even need them for insurance. Nm - Dead and dying

If you work part-time, MM is tolerable...just. - NM

Part Time at MM - No benies!

[ In Reply To ..]
If you work part-time, you don't qualify for insurance though or did they change it? Used to get partial PTO, but don't know if that is still around or not either.

Working at MM - Been There

[ In Reply To ..]
I was in the same situation are you are and I took a job at, then, Medquist before the buyout. Anyway, started off okay and in two months I was without out work, berated beyond belief, horrible accounts, horrible VR and so on. I had to get out and it took me a long time to find another job. Had I now taken that position with MQ, I could have found something decent and not wasted my time with them, not to mention the money I lost in the process. Take heed of what is written here about MM and run away! In fact, I would tell them you are not going to work for them, based on what you have read about them. Of course, they will deny it. I applied at Nuance and after reading the posts, decided to stay clear and told them what I read and how that made me decide not to work for them. They had some pat answer as I am sure they have heard it before; plenty of happy MTs, can't please everyone, blah, blah, blah. MM will probably do the same thing, but at least you can have your say and let them know how despicable they are. Also, they will lie to you like crazy! Again, run!

I was with company for 25 years. Worked - part time and was let go in July.

[ In Reply To ..]
All I can say is GOOD LUCK! It was the best thing that ever happened to me was to be let go. I saw the writing on the wall and went back to school 2-1/2 years before I was let go. Why was I let go? No one can tell me why, just that I was an excellent employee and eligible for rehire, but NO WAY will I ever work as an MT. I have a new job after school and I can say, I LOVE MY JOB. I even am getting paid for 7 days off during the coming holidays.

see this proves they are hiring - after laying off

[ In Reply To ..]
so what's up with that? why did they lay people off only to hire more? Does anyone have an answer?

Looking for cheaper labor and no computers - just saying

[ In Reply To ..]
All new hires get paid 8 and 4 and have to provide their own computer. Obviously this is a strategy coming from Shaw to lay off tenured employees who make more than 4 and have company computers in order to save money. Of course they will tell the new hires 8 and 4 but little do they know that 99% of the work is ASR, there is no typing and at 4 cpl at the required 150 per hour they will make $6 an hour. And when their computer cannot handle all the upgrades the company throws at them they are out of luck. Only at this company do they think we deserve to be paid less than minimum wage.

The pay sucks! - Daisy

[ In Reply To ..]
Not only does the pay suck, but God forbid you make one small error and you will certainly be told about it. Nevermind all the corrections you make because the ASR is so bad or the dictator has extremely poor grammar or you have fixed his/her errors when dictating the sex of the patient (dictates "he" when it should be "she"). For every 5,000 things you correct, you will never hear a word. If only the doctors could see the mess ASR makes of their dictations.

The Pay Sucks - Everything does

[ In Reply To ..]
at this company. Read these posts, they are for real. The only thing that I cannot understand is why we work for this company. I do feel MTs are leaving, but not fast enough and you are a testament to them hiring again, after laying off/firing so many good, qualified MTs, because they want to save 3 or 4 cents a line on them. The post about VR was right on the money or lack of it. You will not transcribe, despite what they say and they may start you out transcribing and you will feel that you are doing okay, and then the rug will be pulled out from underneath you and when you fall, no one will be there to help you up, least of all this company. It pains me that I spend the amount of time I do working for them and I am looking all the time. I have put a limit on my time with MM; if nothing by the end of the year, which is fast approaching, then in January, I look outside being an MT and take another job, no matter what it is to at least get away from here and move on. Don't waste a second of your time with MM; they will destroy you in the end and they could care less!

To answer your question - Anon2

[ In Reply To ..]
I tested with them a little over a year ago and passed the test but I didn't go to work for them. They didn't tell me my test scores and don't know if they share them, but they should get back to you within a day or two to let you know if you passed and advise you on the next step in the hiring process. I don't think it would do any good to call.
