Not sure what you mean by "problems." All MT companies are a problem to work for. If they weren't before, they are now and will be until the dawn of time. Which is why I'm surprised you're surprised. Unless you've been living in a bubble, the MT biz has been going down the tubes for about 8 years now.

Most are getting out of this business, because of all the "problems."

There are all types of problems. Work being offshored and totally disappearing from the US Market. Work going SR and pay getting cut more than by half. Work being cruddier than crud.

Then, there are some companies who are not paying their employees because the company is a scam or otherwise not quite on the up-and-up.

I know the business has went downhill, at least for the transcriptionist who actually do the work, but I have never worked for a company that didn't pay you for reports typed. I had an account with specific instructions that if there wre any questions, they were to be sent to QA first. I was transcribing a P.A.s dictation and could not tell if he was working with the MD that was in the office or just on his own. His regular MD was not in the office. So I had 14 reports I sent to QA. Another transcriptionist on the account did the same thing, so evidently it wasn't all that clear. They felt we should have known and did not pay me for those 14 reports, even though they got paid for them. I don't work for free. That has never happened to me before. I worked mostly nights and weekends and the communication they had was awful. You would never hear back if you had a question, and the one person that would get back to you, they let go.

I have recently seen several ads posted for Clear Choice Transcription. I see that now they are seeking new grads for these positions. I personally always like to know if there are red flags, etc. before I accept an offer. I felt the need to share my experience with the company. There is one manager who basically runs the show. Myself and a friend were both completely bullied by her for doing nothing short of trying to learn our job. If questions are asked, there are very abrasive an ...

I was hired over a month ago. It took three weeks to get all the info needed to start. I was to do online training over the phone, which I did. Unfortunately the person who trained us went so fast I was lost. I started, had a ton of questions, which I asked. I never got any answers other than one where I was told to follow instructions. Yes I knew to do that. So I get an email saying I am having a hard time (ya think it could be because the trainer did n ...

I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH.DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY CLEAR CHOICE TRANSCRIPTION! I have been with them over a month now and have yet to make any money. Their supervisor, is the rudest person I have ever come in contact with. When you complain about the lack of training and the rudeness of the supervisors, she makes excuses! To me this company will scam you! The system is rediculous to work on so even though it says you make .80 per audio minute, it takes you 30 minutes just to get one 1:09 ...

Clear Choice Transcription is clearly a joke. The only reputable person at the company is the recruiter. Once you're handed off to the trainer you're screwed. Training there could be taught by a 1st grader. They rush through training and expect you to catch on in 15 minutes. Most of my questions, even after hired were answered by the recruiter. Don't know who the owner is but they obviously have no idea what happens after you're passed off to the trainer. Maybe once the ...

Does anyone know anything about these two companies (work atmosphere, size of company, pay on time, etc., any helpful information)?

Thanks in advance for any information anyone can provide. ...

If you could go back in time, would you still be a coder? I guess I'm just curious if the "Oh, I wish I had done something different" sentiment is a prevalent here as it is in MT. If you wouldn't change a thing, what is it that you really love about your work? If you hate coding and what you do, what would you do instead? ...

I found a company called Physicians Choice Transcription Service (PCTSI) which says they take newbies but you pay them money weekly as a payroll deduction. You start out paying them $100/week. Does anyone know anything about this kind of service? I've been looking for work for weeks and have seen several places want "start up costs" in the thousands, but never a place that takes $100 a week from your pay when you work for them. http://www.pcts1.com/Employment.htm Has it ...

I work 7 days a week because I WANT to and I like the money I make doing that. I have a daily personal goal that far exceeds what MTSO expects. I resent that I have to share my lines with on-and-off IC who just pops in whenever. Expecially when they pop in at the end of a pay period trying to get all their lines in 3 days. The MTSO knows when I am going to log on and she knows she can count on me. I should not have to share MY lines with an irresponsible sometimes IC. ...
