Be wary of AssistMed ad - TSpe

Posted: May 19, 2012

Whatever you do, be careful if you apply here. One or 2 supervisors have gone to foreign lands. They lie to employees. My supervisor got fired and then those of us who liked him got fired too. Very, very shady employer. And, you'll be up all night working if you ever volunteer to help more than scheduled.

yeah! and you don't get paid OT for it either - anon

same as another unnamed company being sued for the same!

At this point, I am wary of ANY MTSO. - sm

just say NO! If we refuse to work for 3 cents a line, no benefits, and pay our own taxes out of that 3 cents including 15% social security, they have to go up, the problem is somebody will take it, which makes it "the norm" for the rest of us. Anyone that takes a job at 3 cents a line is hurting us all!

I am moving and want to keep the local doctor I type for by utilizing my WAV pedal and software. However, when I approached the doctor about this, she was wary of having me be hundreds of miles away and typing for her. She doesn't mind the format because she had a previous transcriptionist use it, but she was "local." Does anyone have any suggestions or comments to help me out with this? Thanks in advance. Anything would be appreciated. ...

what they offer in terms of compensation with all the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the QA/MT positions.

Was offered a management position with Assistmed for an extremely low salary (well below industry standard). There was no organization. Duties were "assumed" with no job description that was suitable. The account manager I was working for literally "dropped off the face of the Earth" after I had 5 days on the job. The HR rep subsequently managed the account and had no idea how to manage. Was subsequently ask to "move to prodution" which my wrists don't allow ...
