What mid-size to large companies are left that are not part of MQ? - Anti-MQ MT

Posted: Feb 06, 2012

I want to work as an employee and have benefits. I need health insurance and really want PTO. I want a company big enough to be busy but I CANNOT AND WILL NOT work for MQ again.

I thought that DSG was the answer for me and have enjoyed working there the last 2 years. Yesterday was my last day as I refuse to be an MQ employee even for a day. I have a small savings account, and my husband has a decent job, so I am not desperate but I will need to be working within the month.

I read all the posts and see so much bitterness and hatred. I know that all companies can't be that bad.

I don't want negative posts, only positive ones please.

If you like your job, who do you work for? Why? Do they pay more than 4 cpl for VRE and more than 7 cpl for straight transcription? Better yet, do they have a lot of straight transcription?

I am not looking for perfect, I am looking for a good place to work. I am experienced, reliable and can do any worktype with a 99% QA score. Who would you recommend?

TIA

I worked for them briefly (left for personal reasons). They pay dependably. They have a pretty good support system and your boss WILL answer his/her phone and emails (I used to work for the Q, too). QA gave me pretty good feedback, though was inconsistent, as is with all MTSOs. The VR wasn't too bad, either.

I was paid about 4 cpl for VR and about 9 cpl for straight typing.

I didn't like their platform, though. Escription, I think. Too much of the screen was taken up by the demographics. I only had about 40% of my screen for typing.

SGS is worth a try.

I hope you don't mind me "butting in" on your conversation, but SGS is one of THE shadiest MTSOs in the industry. I was in management there, so I was privy to some of their practices. One of practices being that they demote Team Leads and QAs (hourly positions) to MTs-knowing that most QAs and TLs do not have a fast enough typing/editing speed to be able to support themselves-let alone a family...some have called it "starving the MTs out of a job." This way, the person will quit and SGS will not have to pay unemployment. They have demoted/fired over 100 people since November.
There has also been speculation that MQ will eventually be buying SGS. At one time, SGS and MQ were "partners." Basically MQ subcontracted work to SGS instead of outsourcing to India, but that only lasted from April-Novemeber. So who knows what may happen next. Search the archives on SGS...there is quite a bit of info available as of late.
If you do take the job, just keep in mind that they usually fire/demote at the end of the pay periods.
My suggestion would be Nuance Transcription. I currently work there and there is PLENTY of work. Also check at Accentus-best pay I have ever seen for MTs.
Either way, best of luck to you:)

At some point, anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws will kick in.

doubtful - no anti-monopoly laws in effect

They are not a US owned company, so these rules dont apply.

Try Landmark. They are owned by ethical people and do not offshore.

Here in the US, what are you making (without naming names) per line for straight typing and for VR?I see, below, about OTI lowering to 6.5 CPL straight type and I was just recently offered a job at 7 CPL straight type (as an IC). I thought that was the going rate nowadays for company work. Am I wrong? Are there still some out there that pay a decent wage? ...

I've been in the MT business for 7 years now. After being let go for low workload from my last company I was lucky enough to take the last 4 months off but now feeling the crunch and need to get back. I've been with about 4 different companies in the past but now doing the research I just don't see any companies that people seem to LIKE to work for! If anyone has a company that's legit and seems to be an okay place to work please let me know!! Thank ...

Are there ANY good companies out there? I only see negative about every single company that is hiring. Seriously, only negative. Never a good word about any of them. Has it really come to this? I work for Nuance so I know they are bad. I've worked for MedQuist, need I say it? Both of these were not my choice but buyouts of fantastic companies. So, let's hear it.... are there any good ones left? ...

I was just reading another thread which makes me wonder how many companies are part of Nuance? I take it Focus, OSI, Encompass, some connection with Webmedx (maybe just with overflow), SGS, Execuscribe, Meditech. Any others? I'd really like to know because it seems every time I tried in the past to look for a new job I ended up applying with the same basic MTSO, though different names. Is there any way to find out the names of the MTSOs that get swall ...

What do you put on the application when they ask why you wish to leave, or the reason you left your last job? I only had this question on one application. Like I said, I still work part-time at MQ and my real reason is that my job will probably go to India like so many others have. Would you actually put that reason or what reason would you give them? ...

I'm just talking about employees here, not ICs. It amazes me that as a company employee, we would not be provided the most important tool we need to work with all set up to company specs, loaded with company s/w. If we worked on site, would we be expected to bring in our own computers? I don't think so. Thanks. ...
