DiskRiter Anything good to say? - MT On Edge

Posted: Jun 07, 2012

Have applied at DR, read all the negative stuff on here, is there anything good? Bad situation at present job, hate to jump from the frying pan into the fire, but the pay offered at DR is better. Can anybody help me?

Other MT Company - Hands On - wondering!

[ In Reply To ..]
I started working for this company and haven't really gotten a lot of info about how they run things. I had to ask about cpl which is horribly low and have no idea about how they pay, other than they mail you a check. I am going to approach them about this as I am getting a bit concerned and don't want to continue working and not get paid. Has anyone had any experience with Hands On? I am pretty sure it is owned by a woman named Cindy. TIA!

Fine for me at Diskriter... - anon4

Have been with them now 3 years full-time second shift. My account has mandatory OT frequently. I'm very content and hope to be with them till I retire. They certainly pay on time, my account is straight typing and not difficult, QA people fair and helpful. I have no complaints. I don't know how it is for anybody working any other account at Diskriter, however, or how the new folks get treated these days. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thank you!! - FedUpMT

I appreciate your response...I am aware that most of the MT posts are from people unhappy with their jobs, so thanks again.

Worked for them for many years, left recently and left on my own accord. I had steady accounts, mandatory OT every week for nearly the last 3 years and actually had to take a cut in line to 7 cents a line transcribed...my QA maintained at their required, they just do not compensate for longevity or experience... found a company who does... time will tell...

What is the good, the bad, and the ugly with Diskriter? I am looking for information about pay, benefits, how strict they are when it comes to schedules, management, available work, etc. If you are new there, how was the interview?

As a long time MT at DR, I find the undoing of Diskriter to be most upsetting. Anyone else have any thoughts? People have left in great numbers and continue to leave.

Stay away from Diskriter who has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board. I worked for them and it was THE worst experience of my life. It is a very big hospital they are referring to with lots and lots of facilities associated with it and lots and lots of account specifics. You need to have a certified degree as a rocket scientist to work for them. They chastise you and make you feel worthless. The QA will knock you down, and then you have to waste YOUR time to prove them wrong, which they always ...

Please feel free to e-mail me, if your experience cannot be posted on this board! Thanks! ...

Thank you in advance! By the way - anyone work there? From what I have learned is an MT, depending on the position you are hired, may get benefits from the Diskriter or benefits from the hospital in which you are assigned? Is that a good gig? Hospital benefits rock! I miss them! ...
