I applied last year and would have taken the job, had I not been able to accomplish the same pay without a "schedule." Pay excellent in this industry, at least it was when offered to me, and they had a tiered program for cpl increases based on production. I just did not want to work third shift at this time, so I did not re-test when offered. But if I wasn't happy where I am now, I sure as heck would have jumped at the chance to get on board there.

If I may ask... - Where do you work now?

You don't have to answer, just curious where you're happy. Some prefer not to tell, and that is fine.

Before you ask, they are not hiring. They only hire when they need to. :) Been there since June 2011, the longest I've been anywhere since the MDI/Transcend debacle a few years back. :)

I tried working for them for a while, but I found the dictation to be very difficult. I wished I had been able to do it because I think it would be a great place to work.

It is a great place to work, for sure! What did you find difficult, the ESL docs or the actual dictation? Sometimes I think I do ESL better than US doctors, but that is to my advantage in this industry! :) Hope you find a good gig, if you haven't already. :)

I really liked the people there too...that's why I hated to leave. It was actually the amount of ESL dictators and also having so many different types of work. I probably should have hung in there, as I certainly haven't found any place thus far that has treated me as nice as they did. You're a very lucky person and evidently very good at what you do!

Global - IC or employee?

Since has schedules I'm thinking employee? I need some decent insurance bad, and a decent paycheck.

nevermind - I just saw it. nm

Pay is decent, and they treat you very nicely. But the dictators are HARD. I rarely get my main work type anymore and each shift spend lots of time doing reports by heavy-accented ESL in a different account/work type than what I usually type. After about the third or fourth one of these in a shift I don't make very much money and not meeting my minimum line count. I have gotten to be well-acquainted with the difficult dictators within my usual work type, but hardly ever get that anymore. Half the dictators I have typed tonight I have never even heard of.

Looking for another job and very sad about how this has turned out.

Has anyone tested with them? Here's their testing process if you're interested......it's a hoot! I got a Word document which asked me to supply the correct spellings. The auto-correct feature already did this for me when I opened the document, so that was a no-brainer. There were questions in which I had to choose the correct way to word a paragraph, etc. There was one that was especially troubling to me, it required me to choose the correct paragraph and it listed several ...

have heard it gets slow during the summer, particularly July-August, but this slow? I love it there, I really really do. I read, below, about people who said just get used to the slow down and I am trying, but I am not evening making minimum. It all seemed to happen after the computers were switched over or whatever it was mid-May with lots of work and now barely any. I need reassurance that it always is this slow and will pick up in the autumn. In the meanti ...

They have terminated some office/administrative people and now have eliminated weekend incentives and given pay CUTS to transcriptionists. Work is nearly non-existent. At the beginning of the summer they said it was a temporary slow down and would pick up shortly. Instead it seems to be getting worse. Anyone know anything?? I really really like this company and hate to see this happening. ...

Someone asked about them and I am bringing it back up to the top. One person said it all now VR, another said they saw their only account in the "Nuance pool." I don't get it. First of all, what is a Nuance Pool? I work for them and although work has slowed down, if Nuance was now contracting, wouldn't the work be completely gone? Also as for all VR, it's about half and half. We are hoping the summer slow down will end soon and work will pick up ...

It appears that Gulf Coast has either severely cut the hours, or laid off most of their IC transcriptionists. I was laid off. This was a nice company to work for, and I would really feel bad for them, but they told us things that just weren't true since last summer when they started losing work. Plus they appeared to deny the rumors on this website back in September. Then we got a really nasty email from the main supervisor a couple months ago all about how they were ...

I'm stuck at mmodal after 2 buyouts and a job there is precarious at best. This board is just as depressing and bad as theirs. Instead of all the run away and don't go there stuff, what is the insurance, and what is that quarterly bonus thing about? My friend I worked with from DSG before they got bought out my mmodal went to Nuance on an escription account and actually likes her job, plenty of work, good super. I suppose it's all in the roll of the dic ...

I am scheduled early morning and I have checked all day, every day and there is no work. I was moved off an account where I always got my lines in even if I had to flex a bit, but these new accounts have NO WORK ALL DAY. This is unbelievable and scary. Is this happening acro ...
