current conditions at Breitner - please share
Posted: Apr 27, 2014
Many openings - always worrisome. Is the workload consistent? Is QA fair? Can a single person support herself on their wages? Thanks for any input.

I started with Breitner about a month ago for a new account. It got pushed back so we had another account to work on. The work load right now is over what they can do and need help. Haven't gotten steady paycheck yet so now sure about supporting oneself. It is mostly voice though.
QA is very nice and helpful. I cannot complain at all!

I've been with them since the fall and love it. The only time I've run out of work is the major holidays and was able to make that up within the week. The QA team only gives you feedback if you make a major mistake or it's something they know you'll encounter again (i.e. a blank you sent for assistance and is a common phrase for a dictator or new medicine). They have new accounts, hence the hiring.
thanks comrades - hope I am not

setting off a stampede. I appreciate your answers.
I guess it depends on the account. I've been running out - of work for a long time. $40 a day is the best you
They are hiring but before I go through testing, anyone currently working thee? Are you happy? Do they treat MTs decent? Pay on time? Anything negative? I really, really need to get away from Nuance before I lose my mind. ...
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD ACCEPT A POSITION WHERE THE EMPLOYER DOES NOT HAVE (OR WILL NOT GIVE YOU) A FORMAL PAY SCHEDULE (MEANING YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PAY PERIOD STARTS OR ENDS), HAS DECIDED NOT TO OFFER DIRECT DEPOSIT ANYMORE, BUT INSTEAD TELLS EMPLOYEES TO GET A NETSPEND CARD OR OTHER CARD AND THEY WILL LOAD YOUR CARD DIRECTLY (MINUS THE 3.85 IT TAKES TO SEND IT THROUGH WESTERN UNIT OR MONEYGRAM), DOES NOT ANSWER EMAILS ON TIME, IF AT ALL, WILL PAY YOU LATE, BUT NOT NOTIFY YOU AND GET ...
I'm pretty sure that if everyone just works hard and keeps their powder dry, the working conditions will eventually get better. Someone, somewhere, in the upper ranks is probably working right now to improve the working conditions of the MT. I'm not holding my breath for that to happen though. I would love to be surprised for the sake of all my MT friends. If the conditions improved 100%, I wouldn't go back. I love medical coding more than I ever enjoyed MT, and I enjoyed it a lot ...
Our hospital is looking to outsource all work to MModal with them absorbing our employees. Any comments on how MModal is to work for? Hourly pay vs. incentive with MModal, etc. Thanks. ...
Every job I get looks like it has been rejected by 50 people and the jobs are always day-old terrible stuff by people who don't know how to dictate. I wouldn't wish this work on anyone. I used to make a little money with this company and now it seems that all the work is cherry-picked and I try to get a few crumbs falling from their table, but even that is now getting impossible. I do great work and rarely leave blanks, but feel I have been getting pushed out of the c ...
Does anyone care to share what Breitner's pay for VR on eScription is? I checked the archives and couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks so much. Feel free to email me privately if you don't care to post on here. ...
Anyone else who is applying or already applied at Breitner? Anyone work there or previously worked there? I see they use MT Test for their testing. I did the application but have not started the actual testing yet. Gosh it would be so nice to just have to transcribe one sound file! Wishful thinking! That's not gonna happen I'm sure.
Well if anyone has applied and heard from them are they paying at least decent? I hate to do testing and ...
Editscript (VR and straight) and Voicescribe (straight), anyone know which would be better? I have never heard of Voicescribe and I am considering maybe accepting for 1 of these, just not sure which. Thx. ...
Among the above companies, which would you prefer working for? Paywise and platformwise which would be better? I have applied for all 3 and am wondering who to go with. I have received job offers from 2 of them. HELP. I don't know what to do. ...
Has anyone here attempted the Breitner testing? This company certainly searched high and low to find the absolute hardest reports for their testing. I am familiar with the terminology on both reports as I have done genetic reports and am familiar with these words. Also used to do most diagnostc cardiac noninvasive plus invasive procedures for a cardiologist. Otherwise I doubt seriously I would have made it through this. Anyway I was called for in ...
Anyone heard anything about Breitner in MA? They have ads frequently, too frequently I would think. Seems like they have a circular door (faster than revolving door)! ...
Anyone currently work for Breitner or had any experience with them as either employee or IC? How is pay, management, work load? ANY INFO. APPRECIATED, pros and cons. ...
Anyone currently work for Breitner, they are advertising Tues-Sat 8-4:30 which would be IDEAL for me, want to apply, but wanted some info, good/bad, pay rate, platform, etc. and do any of these companies HAVE enough work to do in that type of shift or am I gonna be sitting there yet again with another company. You may also reply by email. Thanks!
