Beware of Precyse - Waste of time

Posted: Nov 07, 2014

Beware of this company when interviewing as the interviewer puts words in your mouth that you never had said. Be very careful and write down all you say to the intereviewer during the process. What a waste of my time interviewing, passing the test, etc.

I wondered about them after seeing their recent ad. Literally NO - current info on them at all in archives.

And nobody ever posts about them. Is that good or bad? Meaning no info available on the company?

I posted 10/23 with current information. NM - anonalso

your schedule? What words did she put in your mouth? I'm curious as I recently tested for them and am awaiting their response. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sharing, that sucks. - nm

I have a phone that records conversations on tape. I don't play their games. I learned to cover my buns a looong time ago.

What is it that she said, if I may ask? Just started with them...see msg - Typer

Wondering if maybe I made a mistake!

Not offered job - Not the OP

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm not the OP, but I had this same thing happen. I thought things were going well in the interview. She asked me what reports I felt comfortable with and which ones I don't. I said I'm comfortable with all of them but my leave favorite is Op Notes. When the interview ended, she said I would get an email soon with the offer or non-offer. I got the email and was not offered a job because she said that I SAID I was not comfortable with Op Notes. I had to reread that several times because I know I didn't say that I wasn't comfortable with them. We all have our favorites and non-favorites, and it's not like I CAN'T do Op Notes, they just aren't my first choice. So I was like, well, it's not meant to be. A few days later, I was offered another job, better in my opinion, so it all worked out. But I agree with the OP.

Ugh...none of this sounds good. - sm

No one in this thread has really commented negatively about them per se, but none of the comments are actually good feedback either. Hmmm...

Waste - of my valuable time

[ In Reply To ..]
That's exactly what happened to me too. Her side kick called me and told me I was not comfortable with doing all reports so they were looking for other people and I never said anything like that and my past experiences proves it - I've done all. This particular interviewer T does not know how to conduct an interview IMO. What a waste of time passing the test only to have words put in my mouth.

Are you not feeling right since you started with them? - Or second-guessing yourself? See msg

[ In Reply To ..]
I only ask because you've already had your interview and been hired on. I applied, but have not heard anything yet. I was just curious just in case they offer me to test. I have done some researching and what little info available on them kind of makes me feel a little uneasy. So by all means, please share if you are having doubts based off of a bad vibe that your getting or anything that may have come off as questionable since you started. I don't want to test, interview and possibly even get hired only to realize I should have paid attention to my gut instinct. Thanks in advance for your response.

Just a few weeks in and jobs went from overwhelming to - nothing. - Typer

I wonder if a bunch of us (there were several also trained the same time as I was) just "trained" the system for them or it was all offshored. Either way, I am thinking it's time to move on. I love being an MT, however, this is all just so discouraging. Good luck to you either way.

Operations - Amuck

Wow, this serious sounds like a company to avoid. This company is weird in their operations. They contacted me through email to test, I did not seek them out and now all this.

do you have secondary acct? my primary is rarely low. usually looking for help. - NM

Your vibe is not wrong about Precyse. They are big time LIARS! QA will harass you to death over little things! They are just starting to give raises and reviews after many years of asking about raises. They will demand much of you and you can expect little if anything positive in return! They will speak of integrity as that is part of their company motto, but believe me when I tell you none of them have integrity but they will expect integrity and loyalty from you. The WFCs are the only decent people out of the entire company! The only thing Precyse has going for them, is they pay on time, you will have benefits (but they are expensive), and you'll have a paycheck it may be low some pay periods, and average the others, but still not enough to retire on, save, or plan for the future. By the way, did I say they are liars?! They are pretty disgusting people, and barely qualify as people, they are subhuman!

Same experience here basically... - ExMT

[ In Reply To ..]
The interviewer was horrible - ALL over the place, reading or talking to other people at the same time, kept me on the phone OVER an hour, hyper, rambling - clear indication of how the job would have been. I almost feel bad for those who work there...maybe the money is good, I don't know, but what a downer to have to put up with that all day, every day.

Can anyone tell me if Precyse still has Precyse University for training. I went to work for them a few years ago and quit because I was only doing 1-2 hours a day for a couple weeks going through the University and waiting for things to be approved in order to move on and was not making any money, got fed up and quit. I would like to reapply but do not want to if they still do Precyse University training. ...

Have any of you or someone you know worked for Precyse? Any information appreciated, good or bad. If you or someone you know has worked for them, how do they compare to MModal?

I have a friend whose relative is a one of those aspiring Wall Street'ers and he was interested in hearing about my work as an MT. He had done some research and looked at the publicly traded companies in our industry. With the growth of an ageing population the documents we provide is more and more needed. But that also creates a potential for a takeover of publically traded companies. Just my (or his) opinion. ...

I recently responded to an ad on Craig's List for an MT medical editor because I'm interested in getting into that. I got a test and a bunch of info back from a Larry Perrone of ANP Transcription. Fortunately I googled ANP before doing anything and there are piles of complaints here and at other sites about them not paying MTs. I sent Mr. Perrone some samples of comments MTs wrote about their habit of not paying us and told him I won't be working for them. So beware! I guess ...

I'm sure we are all aware, but if considering employment with them be VERY careful. I have gone round and round for days with them that legally they cannot require a schedule of an IC...but they don't care, one bit. Told me to look elsewhere then, after passing their testing, etc. I cannot believe a company this supposedly big does not even try to care when this issues is addressed to them, makes me want to report them. I know many companies that have been fined for this exact thing an ...

***** hires subcontractors and pays out of her personal checking account. Says she pays every week, but does in the beginning then things happen......wrong postage used on check, somebody else got your check, wrong address, etc. Several weeks late and then cannot leave voice message, does not answer IM or email. On Call does not care because we work for BS and not for him. Do not work for these people. This happened to at least 2 MTs in the past 4 months. ...

There are reasons why a company has to keeping hiring for the same positions over and over again. Inscribe is that company. Most of the Tx are IC's but are forced to do the work of employees, i.e., training new transcriptionists, editing their work, being on call 24 7, computer-generated phone calls telling Tx's to get online any time of day or night, being on instant messenger AIM while transcribing in order to be able to help new people while you are transcribing - ...

My company was bought out by Nuance several months ago and it has turned into a complete nightmare!

BEWARE AND BE SURE you are truly an Independent contractor. This info is available on the IRS.GOV website (type Independent contractor in the SEARCH box and then click on IC defined).

I know from experience that doing this seriously cuts into My Line Count and MY PAY. I w ...

Beware: If you are thinking about becoming a Medical Transcriptionist ask yourself these questions first - Do I like working every weekend and Holiday? Do I like working more than 80 hours a week to just barely make more than $10/Hr.? Do I like having to worry about losing my job in a year or two to a computer? If your answer to any of these questions is no, than you might want to reconsider becoming a Medical Transcriptionist. The perk of working at home has lost i ...

Just quit there. Seriously lacks organization. Their India "allocation" team throws bits and pieces at you, very low volume, but then hammers your IM to death. Example, a 12 minute report is assigned, I would just get started on it and within less than 10 minutes they want to know where it is. WTF?! If the 2 US managers are out of the office and the India team is in charge, it's a nightmare. Then, even if the US managers are there, it's slim pickins as far as volume goes and then they ...

You can do with this info whatever you see fit, but I'm just sayin'...if you're applying w/M*Modal, they will not even consider you if you've EVER been terminated. They do not even consider any circumstances whatsoever. I was terminated from my last MT position after they laid off all my help but still expected ME to do ALL the work. Go figure. From what I know from my old pals there, the MT situation there is still totally hopeless. Karma's a right? ...

Do not work for Accutran in Indiana unless you want to work for free. I got my money JL owed me 3 months after submitting an invoice after threatening her with pressing charges for theft. She had many excuses as to why she could not pay me including blaming Obama. She also lied to me about when I was going to receive my check. She believes it is okay to not pay an MT in a timely manner. She told me when I started, I would be paid 30 days after the invoice ...

There are so many things wrong with this scenario I cannot even wrap my head around it. Fight your supposed errors with everything you can.

One error is all it takes to fail now. ...

Surprise, I was made to feel like an idiot again yesterday. In the middle of the report the doc mumbled a drug so I went to look it up on an old report. I got a message that my password expired and to change it to continue. I did so. When I got back to the 77 line report, I got a 3 line error, not sure what it meant but I clicked okay. It acted normal for rest of report. During next report, got the same error, did not understand what it meant, clicked okay and continued. What it should ha ...

I use a program called DSS2Wave which converts DSS/DS2 files to Wav files. I LOVE this program and have been using it for over 2 years. When I went to renew it earlier this month, I never received the code for the license. Program is unusable. I can't even get it off my computer to reinstall the 30-day trial, and there isn't another program out there as good as this one. Thankfully I paid via Paypal, and after attempting contact multiple times via the email, website, phone number ( ...

i just received an email from a MT that is in another country asking me to consider a business deal whereby I would send her work and take 30% of her pay for myself.

I reported this to the webmaster and just want to give a heads up to all on the board. ...

It sends you to different websites when you try to go to McAfee, Microsoft, etc. It is called Koobface. Be careful, I had it on both my desktop and laptop. ...
