I have an offer from Accentus - worth it?
Posted: Jun 12, 2014
I have an offer from Accentus. I like the flexibility they offer, but I also have an offer from Breitner. Any feedback on these two? Thanks.
accentus = nuance - ctm

Doesn't Nuance now own Accentus?
yes - worth it?

Yes, that is why I am asking on this board.
Accentus via Nuance - or is it Nuance via Accentus? LOL

My thinking would be that if you're hired by Accentus now you'd be at least coming to the Ambulatory Care side. Right now, that all seems to be going smoothly - folks still have their own exclusives, schedule is flexible, basically everything is the same as before the acquisition.
Thing is, from everything I've read on this board over the last long, long while, is that this won't continue and that things will soon all just be Nuance style.
I work there, and it's been 2 months since things went "official." The only things that are different so far are that we are all required to use Nuance's webmail client now for email communication, we're all required to use Nuance's instant messenger called Spark, and we're all required to clock in and out via a program/site called WebClock.
As of right now, that's it - we still all do have our exclusives, we still have not seen any type of pay cut. My plan is to see what happens in the next 4 months. I'm preparing for disaster, but if things would continue like they are I'll be staying.
I hope that helps with your decision.
what will happen in 4 months? - anxious

I'm in the same boat. I see on the board mention of changes in October, but does anyone know what kind of changes? (Not always crazy about changes!)

Non-MT Job Offer Mar 29, 2013...Okay, I'm not here to start a fight about union vs non-union, but I was just offered a non-MT job at a hospital that has a union, and I am anti-union. When she told me that it was a union position, my jaw dropped. She must have seen the look on my face, because she told me that since this is Florida, we don't HAVE to join the union or pay dues or anything like that. My face brightened up right away.
SO, if you are not pro-union be SURE to ask if the state you live ...

GOT A BETTER OFFER FROM WAL-MART Feb 18, 2010Well after being in this business for almost 20 years, I have decided it's time to hang up the keyboard, as a single person I can no longer support myself as a medical transcriptionist. This is not even a good part-time job anymore. I have worked for more companies than I cared to admit, suffered through intolerable divas as team leads, gestapo QA, constant nip picking on where a comma goes, or a verb, and had my cpl reduced from what started out at 13 cpl to 0.0350 cpl.&n ...
Taking More Than 1 Offer Mar 15, 2010I have 2 job offers from 2 different companies, but both of these companies are fairly large and have multiple posts with complaints that there is just not enough work for everyone. Would it be possible to take both offers, on the chance that if one doesn't have work the other will? I might be kinda screwed if they both have a lot of work, but it might be worth it to see how both will work out without closing any doors. Has anyone done this before? Is it possible to run 2 companies differen ...
Offer From Medquist Mar 19, 2010Wow. I was just offered a job by MQ. I politely asked if the 'rumors' were true about being docked for sending reports to QA. I was informed that if you are supposed to do 6,000 lines a week and 300 lines total come to QA, then yes you would be docked 3 cents per line. If you are part-time with 4,000 line a week and 200 lines total came to QA, then you would be docked. I politely said that I would have to decline.
BUT, if you feel that even QA canno ...
Job Offer From Transolutions Jun 09, 2010I have a job offer from Transolutions, but I have a couple of questions.
I use Instant Text and I need to know if their platform is compatible with it. This would definitely be a dealbreaker for me.
The opinions of the company I read on this board were not very favorable -- slow speech rec program, too much speech rec, etc. But all the opinions were at least 2 years old. Is there any more current information out there?
The pay scale is very enticing, but if the ...
Need Advice On Job Offer Jun 24, 2010I'm considering an offer from a national company of around 8.75 cents straight typing and around 5.5 for VR. This would be for a full-time position and I have over 10 years experience (but none with VR). I'm currently on unemployment earning around $1500 a month. My normal production of straight typing is around 150-200 lph. With this info., should it be a problem to earn more than what I'm currently making on unemployment? I'm afraid to make the change as once I ...

I Just Got A Job Offer With Nuance Jul 27, 2011I am an MT with 20+ years experience and switched careers a year ago when our hospital's Transcription Department was eliminated and all transcription was outsourced. I am currently working full-time as a secretary but am looking for part-time MT work to supplement my income as most of my wages are going towards my family's health insurance. I was hoping for 10-15 hours per week, but 20 hours are required and I'm not sure I can handle 12-hour days between both jobs. Does ...
Job Offer For Probity Aug 09, 2011I just had a job offer for Probity. I am considering it, but before I accepted I emailed them with a question about if there is steady work and still have had no response. I am on unemployment benefits, so if I take their job and then there is not steady work and if I have to quit, I cannot get my benefits back. So, it's a delicate decision. Is anyone working for them who can tell me anything about them....good or bad? Thank you. ...

Disappointing Offer-sm Apr 11, 2012I lost my job a few months ago. I started applying, testing, waiting to hear from companies. I did get hired this week part-time for VRE work and it pays peanuts. A second company was interested in me and I went through testing, filling out tons of paperwork, phone calls and waiting. They offered me a job as an MT and also VRE. The offer is so disappointing! I have a lot of experience but that does not seem to count for anything with them. The wages are ...

Got A Job Offer At Probity Feb 04, 2013I got a job offer at Probity. The pay has an incentive built in for anything over 5000 lines per pay period. Does anyone know what the pay period is? It doesn't say and am waiting for resonse from recruiting. Also, it is for a 6 hour shift. Is that normal. I was hoping for 8. Is eligibility for benefits based on line count or hours worked? Any advice would be helpful on this company.

Starting Pay Offer? Apr 24, 2014As an experienced MT, would you take a job that started at 7 cpl? I don't know if this is the norm now, but I have interviewed for 5 jobs this week, none of which have offered more than this. One of the jobs sounded great, but I am terrified to take it because of this 7 cpl offer. She said there was no wiggle room, so I can't ask if they'd consider going up a little. I have 10 years of experience and have been at the same job for 8 years.
Other than considering going off on ...
