Any Suggestions on Good Company to Work For? - Old Timer

Posted: Jun 12, 2013

All these bad reviews of companies have got me scared! Can anyone recommend a good/decent company to work for? Thanks!

Everyone has their own version of good - It just depends on what you are looking for

For instance, I work for Landmark and like them tremendously. I have worked on the same account for going on 5 years. Yes, I've had trouble in the past with low work, but I've ridden it out. There is a lack of communication, but for the most part that doesn't bother me. The mileage of other people varies widely with this same company and there are many who don't feel as generously towards them as I do.

I've worked for what is now Nuance and almost lost my house. Other people love them. They are big enough, though, that SOMEONE has to be happy working there. I say the same thing about M-Modal. Every once in a while you'll get someone come on the board from one of those companies who is in the sweet spot of a good team lead, plenty of work, and one or two accounts without crazy account specs. It can happen.

What makes a good company is as different as everyone who is working. Do you want lots of feedback from your team lead? Do you want your team lead to leave you alone and let you work? Do you want one account? Do you want many accounts? Do you want to work weekends, nights, days, mid shift?

The pay range seems to be all about the same right now, so you won't have a lot of negotiating room there, unfortunately, but I've heard of some people negotiating slightly higher than the "industry standard" (I hate that term) that is being bandied about right now. That brings me to the platform - some are better than others. I have personally worked on Bayscribe, Dictaphone, Escription and MModal. Bayscripe and Escription are terrific, Dictaphone less so. I didn't work on MModal long enough to really have an opinion, but it didn't seem too bad to me. A lot of that also depends on how well the particular database is managed and how well the MTs are trained to do the voice recognition. Bad editing can screw up the SR just as much as bad dictating.

How much do you need to be able to pay your bills? Factor that out into the number of lines you would need to complete at 4 cpl and then see what platform has the best reputation for being able to produce those lines (Escription, quite frankly) and then go from there.

You did a great job summing it up, and no angst! - OutsideLookingIn

The only accounts that are not overstaffed are the terrible ones that no one wants to work on and it is imp ...

I am currently working at a hospital as a Lab Assistant in Pathology. My job has many different responsibilities, but majority is transcription – which I love!

I used to love my job, but as the years have passed, I have found myself disgusted to go to work. This is due to changes in personnel and too many people not ...

I've been with TransTech for about 2 years, but I'm going to back to working with people now that I'm not having to deal with military moves anymore. I thought I'd pass along to the job hunters that TransTech is a good place- they pay on time, have a good work load consistently, and not too much ESL. It's not for you if you don't want to commit to 40 hours or work a few holidays, but it's an honest gig that you can make a living with. ...
