I just started with them and hmmm not sure.
The platform is much to be desired. The thing I am not too keen on either is that you are just thrown in a pool. You do not have a set of physicians you do on a regular basis. It's okay for now, but I do not know how I feel about it long term yet. I would like to hear other's experiences too.

unprofessional. They tell you they have lots of work and then you sit with no work. Pay was on time. That was probably the only positive. The software was awful.

Why do these companies do this? Why not hire people on at a decent IC wage instead of dangling the carrot of employee status with benefits in front of them and make people have to commit to a schedule only to waste that person's time when they are sitting on days with no work?
To Grrr: when the company and recruiter have ethics, - these things do not happen.

Thanks for all posts so far. It is hard when you are in a spot where you have to look for a new job due to previous work drying up. I'll do my best right now as I do need work, but I have taken these warnings and other posts I saw in the archive to heart and will keep sending out resumes while I chug along.

Worked for them for about a month. I hated their platform (this was a few years ago I sure hope they changed it by now)- you would spend 1/4 of an hour looking up patient statistics (no lines there). Their QA was fair - but they were slavedrivers.........No flexiblity.
I tried them for a couple of months but it was - Becky

very clear my supervisors had no transcription knowledge whatsoever and this was a huge red herring for me. I have since moved on and found a much better company who appreciates my skill. The poster above is right about the software. I found it really hard to get my lines with it. Good luck to you.

Thank you for all the posts. I use shortcuts, but I have found it odd that my line counts are much to be desired.
anyone here work for chronicle? What the heck is going on with them? First the delay in pay, then limited our hours to work, now not allowed to work until 3/24? Up until this point, I was happy with this company, but now, I'm at a loss! Guess it's time to find another job. ...
Does anyone know anything about Chronicle Transcription? Easy to work with? Flexible? Good dictators? Pay rate? Platform? Any info will be appreciated. ...
Be very careful. I was hired by this company and told they had a new account coming onboard. I started out on the clinic side and there were so many days with no work, but yet they complained if you were not on the system waiting during your required hours. Then I get a phone call out of the blue saying well we have good new and bad news. I was told my services were no longer needed on the clinic side due to low volume of work, but they new account they had was not going to start until A ...
Does anyone here work withor have experience with Chronicle Transcription? More to the point, how they figure out the line count? I did a visual character count and my count and their's do not jibe. Needless to say, I'm not getting compensated for the patient demographics I must take the take to insert, but it would also appear that I at the very least do not get paid for the headers that are part of the work type template. Something seems very fishy to me.
Thanks. ...
I did a search and most of the postings for this company are old. Anyone who works for them now? It sounds like their platform leaves a lot to be desired. Thanks everyone. ...
Was wondering if anyone has ever interviewed with Chronicle? I have read the posts here, mostly old, about Chronicle and what bad things are said about them, but I need to get away from SoftScript immediately and have passed all testing with Chronicle and will be having interview and just wondering what they might ask. Thanks. ...
decent living wage at this company? I've gone through the archives and saw comments on the platform but some posts said those issues were resolved. It is possilbe to earn a good paycheck without working 18 hours a day? Do they really have nonstop work consistently or is this just a backlog situation? I'm on the fence and afraid to jump from one pot to another. Thanks for any insight. ...
I have been invited to test for them, but I wonder what kind of company they are. I have IE9 and they want an older version of IE for the test (yes, the dreaded MTTest), but I am just wanting to make sure if I test and get hired, it will all be worth it in the end. Are there any current CTI MTs here? I would appreciate any info! ...
I worked for them over a month ago and, though I contacted the mods here (did no good...never heard from them) and the company several times, I still have not been paid. ...
on time? Is there a lot of ESL? Is the platform user friendly? Is there really a lot of work? According to there ad it is transcribing and not editing and I'm looking for a company that doesn't do voice editing. TIA ...
