Proscript Sour Grapes Much? - Sea_Lovin_MT
Posted: Mar 13, 2010
Wow, you know it is amazing how aggressively vitriolic one person can be when they can't accept change. Is Proscript perfect? No, and there is not one company out there that is PERFECT.
All this whining and moaning about VR, folks we have known in the industry this was coming and would be a HUGE deal for 10+ years! There is money to be made but it is a different mindset. Saddle up or move on.
Proscript's VR is no worse than any other, as a matter of fact, I find it easier than most. I'm curious about all this talk of loyalty and how the company screwed you. Where is all of this loyalty on the MT side now that PS has had to go through changes in order to STAY IN BUSINESS AND GIVE US A JOB? HMMMM??? We were paid outstanding for a long time, and we know it. Yep the gravy train ended, but then the smart ones always knew that it would. There is no company that can pay us transcription lines for VR work and stay in business.
It hasn't always been easy going through the changes and sure I miss that money, but I love this business, it has afforded me a life I would not have had otherwise and I will continue to grow and change WITH IT.
If you can't do that, put on your big girl panties and find another career path that allows you to work at home, raise your kids, be there when people need you, and still manage to make an honest wage. It is NOT Proscript that has the problem, it is those that refuse to roll with the punches and embrace change.
Oh brother...we hear from another lemming.sm - Kiddin?
[ In Reply To ..]We were long time employees who were told we were no longer valued employees, had our benefits revoked, our pay cut by at least 40%, watched long time good accounts disappear, and decent management literally disappear into thin air. Now get real and stop telling us we are whining. You haven't a clue what a good company it was to work for in the past. I don't think one of us long timers said it was perfect, but we were treated with respect which is definitely missing now.
Having a different opinion hardly makes me a lemming! - Sea_Lovin_MT
[ In Reply To ..]The pay at PS is industry standard, benefits are hard to come by for everyone, and as far as respect, you get what you give. I have worked for a LONG time and know very well what is out there. If you are this "disrepected," miserable, and angry, you should move on. There are plenty of people happy at PS, who think the management is great and are glad to have steady and abundant work.
Too funny! Why then are they always begging for help? NM - NM

Because they have a lot of work... - Sea_Lovin_MT
[ In Reply To ..]which is a positive not a negative, it means growth and job security.
Proscript and lemmings - not there
[ In Reply To ..]I could not have said it better than this post did. I loved the phrase "we came to the decision that there was no business reason to have an employee for benefit status." The decent management DID disappear into thin air (pushed and shoved out under our own gaze). They have only a handful of accounts in total, and team leads always have to beg to get people to work.

How very mature of you - Sea_Lovin_MT
[ In Reply To ..]So anyone who is happy with their job is the WWOW? Get over yourself, the air must be really thin up there on that high horse of yours. This is exactly why I don't regularly participate in this forum, negativity and childishness by a few disgruntled people who refuse to either accept or change their position but instead spend their time complaining about how wronged you have been. Don't presume you speak for everyone that works at PS, nothing could be further from the truth.
Gee, we'll sure as heck miss ya when you go back to "not regularly participating." - Boo-hoo

If this is how Proscript cheerleaders are, I wouldn't work there on a bet.sm - Whoa Nellie!
[ In Reply To ..]Talk about an atmosphere that seethes with animosity, pettiness, and hatred. It doesn't surprise me one bit that there are so many negative comments on this board about the company.
Ever worked there? - ExPS
[ In Reply To ..]The emails are nonstop and bordering on hysteria for even a HANDFUL of jobs on an account. I worked there very briefly; long enough to realize the 3.5 cpl they paid on my account wouldn't provide me with a decent wage no matter how fastidious I was about cranking out the work as it rolled in.
I didn't have a bad experience with the company, but to me any company that loads an account with ICs and then has the audacity to send out emails demanding to know why they aren't working and "DON'T MAKE ME HAVE TO CALL YOU TO FIND OUT WHY YOU AREN'T SIGNED ON AND WORKING!!!" is absurd.
The first few times I received SOS emails for the acount, I would literally stop whatever I was doing to hop on and help out; however, when I realized the true situation (maybe 6 jobs, a total of 14 minutes, JUST dictated reprots), I admit I began ignoring the emails/calls and just stuck to my hours I had set for myself when I signed on.
If the email situation has worsened recently, I can only imagine how bad it must be now. YIKES.
We had dozens of e-mails this past weekend. Sometimes they'll send -- - SM
[ In Reply To ..]as many as 5 or 6 an hour when one of the more frantic team leads is on (I really expect her to implode someday). It's absolutely insane.
They offered an "incentive" of a $25 restaurant certificate the other day -- not for reaching a certain amount of production, but for being THE person with the highest production for the day. (Let's forget for a moment that the recent pay cuts took away far more than that.) Within a couple of hours of offering the incentive the manager wasn't happy with the number of MTs on and typing so she actually got on e-mail, chastised everyone for not meeting her expectations, and threatened to keep the incentive for herself.
Motivating? Not.
ROFL...I don't know who you are, but I am a fan!!! - Kiddin?

I think it's smart of people who come here looking for a recommendation on a company to realize that the vast majority of posts that you read here are people who are no longer with a particular company, who continually blast them, who jump in always to make sure to say how bad their experience was. And maybe it was. But I think these people are very much in the minority and not at all to be considered as majority. Every company has something someone is not goin ...

Proscript - Any Of You Out There That Work For PS?

I recently went to work with Proscript after 9 years of hell at Spheris and 1 year of the same thing with Medquist and I love it. I have a great hospital, great supervisor and flexilbility. I do work evenings though and that is my choice. The system is pretty decent. I can see a few things I would like to change, but for the most part, it's not bad. Money, (are we getting paid for this?), seems about the same, but I am still learning the account, so I don't feel I am up to sp ...

This is for anyone thinking of going to work for Proscript (I understand that they are advertising): This is NOT the Proscript that was a great, great company to work for some years ago. That crew was the old ddi crew and they brought the ddi corporate culture with them: Fair to clients, fair to employees, and they valued their employees equally with their clients. They would attempt to work with an MT to see how to get any problems resolved. &n ...
