They are a great match for me.  I am very happy with the account I am on, like the stability of having a primary with backups.  Pay is comparable with others.  They do pay for down-time that is their fault.  They do have incentive pay (and you can negotiate your line rate if you don't need benefits).

They are not for everyone though, not is any company out there.  Rumors on this board in the past have been very misleading and some were just not true.  Everyone I have come in contact with has been very nice, that's why I am still with them after 5+ years and not complaining.  Steady work, your left alone to do your job, and the platform is easy to learn and can be very productive since you are on a primary account.

If you like what you hear from the recruiter, get it in writing and give them a try.

of MTs who have come on this board and talked about how they have have had a difficult time getting even less lines than you posted on various platforms.  I worked on Meditech for a short period of time and it would take me 10 hours to transcribe 1000 lines and most days I did not make that.  I finally got smart and changed jobs, it was either that or the homeless shelter. 

Good luck with your interview!!  I wish you the best.
