Can anyone give me info about Oracle? Good or bad is welcome.

Oracle info - sm

Hires IC only, so no benefits and MT pays all taxes. No set schedule required, but they do require you to fill out a monthly schedule with how many lines per day you will be doing each month.

Latest pay scale is 8 cpl for transcription and 4 cpl for ASR/VR. No overtime or holiday pay. No sick time or paid time off. No evening/night or weekend differentials. They do expect all of their MTs to work at least one weekend day (either Saturday or Sunday) every week.

Platform is Bayscribe, which is pretty easy to learn and very straightforward.

Generally, the staff is nice and easy to get along with, but sometimes their daily emails are not always so nice.

Does Oracle have plenty of work? I want a company that uses Bayscribe and has sufficient work so that I do not have to sit waiting for jobs to come in.

I don't know about the other MTs, but I've been running out of work - almost every day

They currently have an ad on the job board for a new account though (hiring something like 70 MTs), so maybe they'll have enough work for everybody, I don't know.

I worked for them for about a year or so and I always ran out of work as well. (sm) - anon

I also had four friends that worked for them at the same time and they eventually left for the same reasons. As a poster stated above they were generally nice but the daily emails could be a bit much and some of them were really ugly.

I have the low work volume problem too and when I've - EastCoastGirl

asked them for more work they have either blown me off or said they would let me know, but the work load just dropped to nothing.

I have a feeling they over-hire.

I always wonder who's losing those accounts and who is going to get laid off - Happy MT Robin

It's not like there are new hospital systems going up day after day, so the MTSOs are fighting over the same accounts, seems to me. So if they are hiring for a new account that requires 70 MTs, that's a big freaking account. I wonder who'se losing it and who is going to get laid off. :(

I'm a trainer for one of the big MTSOs... - and we get new MTs

[ In Reply To ..]
on board all the time who have left some of the other big MTSOs to come to us.

Just last week one of my trainees, who fits into that group, said she knew two of the accounts I worked on at my company, because her former employer had them before, but lost them. She even trained on one of them--and then never worked it because it went away. I expect the company I work for underbid the company she worked for, and I expect that happens all the time.

And what can we MTs do about that? Not a darn thing, unfortunately.

Rumor has it - mtmt

It is an MQ account.

Saying "rumor has it" on this board is akin to yelling, "Fire!" - in a movie theater. nm

Sorry, no rumor has it. Take it from someone who works both places.

Are we talking about an account in the south? - OTI MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I only work at OTI (when there's work available in my accounts that is) and have been told about the new account, but there was no mention that it was an MQ account. Of course, that's probably not information that they would share with us MTs anyway. You can email me if you'd prefer.

Thank you! One question... sm - alwayslooking

I haven't had much work for months. Since last summer actually. Can never make minimum. I have another part-time job so I'll survive, and I do like that company on a whole, but there has been NO WORK. They keep promising new accounts that never happen. Is it just me? Are there some Oracle workers that are happy and have enough work? I know sometimes it is famine time as an MT, but this is ridiculous. I wonder if they lost some big accounts or somethi ...

Sounds like a pretty reasonable place to work. Hardly ever read any posts here about them so I assume, no news is good news and their employees must be fairly content. Just curious, as they seldom hire. I applied, but I am acute care/hospital transcription and they were looking for people to fill multispecialty clinic account, so folks who have an extensive background in clinic work. Just curious if anyone has started and how they like it. Also curious if there are any who have been with ...

No one answers my emails when I ask why my accounts have no work. It's been going on for a very long time, but so much worse now. I thought a new account was going ot start, but I haven't heard a word about it. Is something going on that I don't know about? I realize they were going to be switching to more SR and MTs weren't all that happy about it (my own pay will be 1.5 CPL lower and only 4CPL for SR work), but what happened?I absolutely hate coming to a r ...

I've just started working with Oracle, and seem to like it okay so far. However, I am reading all these posts here about pay decreases, no work, and no communication. Is this all sudden and not typical of them? I'm a little worried now. I know lots of companies get bashed on this board and some for silly reasons, but I was wondering if there was any truth behind the posts here, or if it's just a few "unhappy" MTs. Anything you can share would be great! Thanks so much! ...

I haven't seen any recent posts about a lack of work at Oracle. Have things settled down to where everyone has sufficient work? I'm working for them PT and have only had 1-2 occasions where I've run out of work; however, my FTE is running out of work on an increasingly frequent basis and, if there's sufficient work at Oracle, I'd be interested in switching over to them as a FT position. Any updates on the status of the work flow? Judging from the email ...

I know that Oracle/OTI's ASR is done on Bayscribe. I have worked on Bayscribe before and like the platform (for straight typing anyway as that's all I've done on Bayscribe). But my question, is Oracle's ASR as good as I've been told? The pay that they're offering sounds pretty low, especially for an IC, but I was told that could be made up for by the increased number of lines produced. Anyone here with experience with them? Is i ...
