Precyse Answers - MooseLips

Posted: Apr 22, 2014

To those with questions regarding working for Precyse I can answer you. Don't do it. We were just informed that we now MUST make at least 260 LPH (previously was 240) OR ELSE. That's for ASR. The straight typing minimum line rate has gone up also---and those are few and far between plus usually only the very worst reports come in as regular transcription. The sound quality is terrible. A lot of the jobs go to India. You only get credited for time that you're playing the dictation back or typing (they know exactly how long you're not actually "doing something" on the computer). Oh, and did I mention the NJA on a regular basis? Which is the reason I have time to be on MTStars right now. I've been with Precyse close to a decade. Why do I stay if it's so bad, you ask? Because when I read the posts on here everything else sounds just as bad if not worse!

Thanks for you input. I've been debating between Precyse and Softscript and need to know by tomorrow morning. This is definitely going to help me make the choice. Thanks for taking the time to post. :)

thanks also - nice of you

to let us know about current situation at your company. Fortunately, I decided against continuing interview process with Precyse a few weeks back.

Thanks also-nice of you...response - blah, blah, blah

Wisest choice you made all year.

ad back up. That must be some account, since many have posted here about applying and not fitting the qualifications.

Ad back up reply - Blah, blah

[ In Reply To ..]
They are not meeting the qualifications because if you areu experienced they have to pay you more than they want to pay. They are hiring newbies and paying them 3-4 cpl an hour..could you live on that? I make only a few cents more and am not making it now.

I agree with MooseLips - Blah, Blah

Yes, they just raised the lph requirements and took away bonus pay and are watching us like hawks. They know when you are in and out of the chair, 50% of the audio quality is horrendous, don't send more than 7% of your work to QA, but don't DARE get a critical error either. They state now that 80% of their MTs ALREADY meet the 260 lph, so the other 20% they are undoubtedly seeking to eliminate since we have lost so many domestic transcription clients to EMR, outsourcing, and the client insisting on discounted rates for domestic transcription.

However, they are hoping we quit with the horrendous working environment so they don't have to lay us off and pay unemployment. I feel the same as Moose....why am I still there? I read all the other posts and you are all in the same boat, just a different page or different version of the same substandard working conditions.

This career field is on its death bed. I just hope Johnna Shook and all the AS at Precyse have their Mercedes payments caught up because their MTs are barely getting by. Chris Powell and the senior staff should be ashamed they run such a company. And those silly Town Hall meetings. Give me a break!!!

They took the bonus away? Which one, for production or - shift differential? Do they still pay sm

[ In Reply To ..]
the quarterly $60 reimbursement for internet?

They took the bonus away - blah, blah

[ In Reply To ..]
Effectively immediately they no longer pay the production bonus. I was not aware they had a shift differential? I have been there 2-3 years and work 2nd and 3rd shift and have never received one. I also knew of no quarterly reimbursement for ISP

Get ahold of your manager or HR, 2nd and - 3rd shift had a differential. sm

[ In Reply To ..]
It comes out to about 1 cpl increase. There was also a differential for working weekends. However, if you work 2nd or 3rd shift and a weekend, you only get one differential, not both. They always said they were going to do away with the internet reimbursement so evidently they have, unless you got grandfathered in for it. If they hem and haw around about the differentials, flat out ask them when they stopped and if they're still in effect, why aren't you getting it.

Differential - Blah, blah

[ In Reply To ..]
Thanks for the info sm. I will contact one of them today.

Good luck and hope you get some good news. I would love - to be a bug on the wall during sm

[ In Reply To ..]
that conversation.

Curiosity is killing me - did they do away with the - differentials? sm

[ In Reply To ..]
If there are no differentials and no production bonus, what perks are they giving MTs, if any?

Reply to curiosity is killing me... - blah, blah, blah

[ In Reply To ..]
No differentials, no production bonuses...they state they are looking into something down the road in "2015" along the line of incentives...but I would say they perk you have is simply having your job and getting your paycheck on time. This industry is on its deathbed, at least the transcription side of it is.

Wow. They used to be such a good company but - sm

about 6-7 years ago brought in upper management rejects from MQ and started to slide. Then Chris Powell came and at his first town hall meeting declared that they were putting all their focus on coding and the IT side of the company, and in the last 10 seconds of the 2-hour call, said thanks to the MTs for the great job we did, after cracking jokes with Sharon Fremer and the other 2 upper management ding-a-lings during the whole call who thought he was so funny. They took your incentives and differentials away yet made a $5 million profit last year (I hope you got that email about profits that he mistakenly sent out then tried to retract). Yep, MT is on its way to extinction and Precyse has no problem undermining its employees who are keeping Powell and his cohorts in crime in their leather chairs and high tax brackets. Even Jeff Levitt was a nice guy for the first 5 or 6 years, then the work started changing and disappearing and the transparency and open door policy for emails and contacting upper management went down the drain, the door closed, and the chain of command got real secretive and protective. Their vision and value is making money any way they can and stepping on anybody to get what they want. I hope they at least let you keep your current line rates for a while, and it will be interesting to see what excuse, if any, they give when they start lowering that too.

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. ...

1. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter – A Greenfield filter is an example of an IVC filter as is a Christmas tree filter, and there are other kinds.

Throwing this out to any and all--MTs, management, office staff, programmers--regarding the Crescendo MedRite XL platform for transcription.

I work at Precyse and it seems things have been strange lately and I was wondering if any of my fellow slaves know what's happening there.
