I am reading so many negative comments. Are there any good things about working for this company? (M Modal)

Good things - MModal

The only "good" thing I can say is I've noticed that Nuance, Imedx, and the other companies on MTstars have just as many negative comments as MModal and usually about the same things.

I can think of numerous good things, I do not have to drive an hour to get to work (live in a rural area), I don't have to buy work clothes, I am home for my husband if he has an emergency (disabled). Weighing the pros and cons, for me the pros outweigh the cons. I have to make the best of my situation.

basically, i like my job. the clients i've gotten since everything changed to PODs and i lost a supervisor i loved, i'm getting used to and they aren't too bad. the working from home is both good and bad, but mostly good. i get benefits.

but, i still can't shake off the bitterness of having my pay cut by 40% since switching to SR. and the high standards the hold us to are unreasonable. i'm sure MModal isn't alone (i think of Walmart and other places) in focusing on their customers instead of their employees, but it sucks and it does not foster good morale. making 400 to 600 dollars less a month sort of makes the good things seem not so good. i try to be grateful though that i have a job that i basically like.

I see your points, but your post would - SM

support the good things about working AT HOME, not working for this company.

Very true, but - jebbie

I know people are going to grimace, but I have not had problems working for MModal. Yes, the hours and the pay suck, but I chose to live in a rural community and this was my best option. My supervisor, PC and TSA are easy to work with. I am trying to make the best of my situation. No matter where you are employed there are going to be problems, would rather deal with MModal then have to deal with catty or lazy coworkers.

worse with the changing of accounts into PODS and the National NitPick Team. They pay on time. That's about it.

No work situation is perfect, so in the past I have tried to abstain from complaints and look for the good. However, I honestly cannot think of 1 good thing to say about MModal anymore. I have never been so completely deflated morale-wise, and I have been an MT for 20+ years. I do have a gem of a supervisor, but that is the only good thing. There's nothing she can do about the working conditions. If you can do something else, definitely do that. I understand sometimes that is unfortunately not an option.

Nary a one. M*M is rotten to the core. - nm

I agree with all the comments. It is so difficult to remain positive when you are constantly given negatives. I am fortunate to have a wonderful supervisor. They are so very limited to what they can do for us. But to all those who commented, you are so right on. I am sticking it out because of insurance, because of being at home, and that is the only reason for now. They keep sending out graphs, and it is making me physically sick to even open up those emails in the morning when I have to work. So that is why we have each other to express just how we are doing. Hope everyone has a good evening, as good as possible.

In a word - NO

First off, I am truly disgusted with our government for allowing offshoring to such a degree that it has taken most of our jobs away. We have written and complained to no avail. We do need to do some things on our own too. I recently went shopping for my son's school supplies. I read the labels to make sure things were made in America. Ink pens: The only ink pens I found made in America were Pilot pens, BIC were made in China. I bought the Pilot pe ...

...the business model works well for them. They made their money off you before you even signed on. They made it 1) when they landed your previous facility's contract and 2) when you were gullible enough to sign on to help voice wreck unemploy yourselves. If they wanted you to stick around you'd be so overworked you could not stand it. Nothing new about any of this stuff except this appears to be the latest set of Nuance casualties.

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years). However, I realize that many other MTs may be in the same position, i.e., having many years devoted to working at the Big MTSOs including â��the M,â�� and â��the Nâ�� and (now to be included) â��the Tâ�� following close behind in total numbers of MT/Editors on staff.
