Great place to work, but it is hot as mentioned by someone else. Great benefits, beautiful environment.

Training there is TOUGH!! Once youre through, you will be able to anything you like, and it is a great thing to have on your resume, and it has helped me out tremendously all the way around.

Mayo Clinic Scottsdale?
Anhy info on MT or QA positions with Mayo Clinic Scottsdale?  Is the test unusually difficult?  What type of relocation costs do they pay?  I would love to hear from anyone who has worked there or is currently working there.
mayo clinic in scottsdale
if you go onto jobing.com and put in zip code 85233, healthcare/medical, you'll see that they mayo clinic is currently hiring for MT's..attractive pay and after three months of training you can telecommute...but you can't apply for it until it has been 7 days since the date of the posting on jobing..so if there was a new posting for an MT today, you'll have to wait until 7 days have passed before it will show up on the actual mayo website.
Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Arizona
I have been thinking of moving to Arizona for a year or so and wanted to work as an MT at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.  Are they outsourcing all their work now?  I read some old messages on this board saying the Arizona clinic outsourced some work, but it didn't seem like it was much.  I don't see the MT position open on their web page anymore and wonder if they have filled all positions or are completely outsourcing.  Anyone know? 
scottsdale
I've applied online, sent resumes twice, called HR, emailed and phoned their MT dept, over the last 4 mos.

I have 20+ years experience, no husband, no kids, completely portable - they have done nothing to contact me about the job.

I think they are just collecting resumes. Obviously, they are not interested in filling the position.
Scottsdale MTSO at it again

This MTSO does not pay.  She will work you for awhile and then disappear when it is time to collect your pay.  She has complaints about her all the way back to 2005.  Not gonna state her name (CB) or atypical business she runs.  STAY FAR AWAY FROM HER.  She posts under aliases.  She's on her way out anyway.

Mayo
I have a friend who moved out there a year ago and is working for Mayo. She trained at the clinic for about 3 months but is now working at home. I think she saw the ad in the local newspaper.
Mayo - Jax,FL
and then you can enter their MT training program and maybe get do do some docs.  They outsource their work to several companies, they previously did it in-house although not on site.  The facility is top notch, has a hotel and they are almost finished with a huge expansion of the hospital.  Great area to live too, but the jobs are in-house.  They do alot of local career fairs.
mayo in Arizona too
There are two Mayo clinics in the Phoenix, AZ area as well and I believe there is one in Florida too. Phoenix is a really large city these days. If you can stand the head of summer (4-6 months =  it varies from year to year) the rest of the year the weather is wonderful!!!!
Can't say for sure. MAYO, OCHSNER, SARASOTA
If you have no work lately, put 2+2 together. Rads are usually easier so the Palaniyappan Chidambaram folks might not have as many errors.

Be sure to ask for a back-up account. If they don't offer you one or give you one with no work, the Hindu gods are probably very pleased.
Mayo Clinic Florida

I was their website today and applied for some Med Sec/Trans jobs.  Some of these jobs have on their website for quite awhile, particularly the one in the Neurology Dept.  I'm wondering why they can't fill these jobs.  The salary range is decent and I'm sure their benefits must be good. 


Does anyone know about Mayo in Florida?   Any info appreciated.  TIA

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN? Would you relocate to work .....
there?  Would you like to work there?  Would having worked for a place like this look good on a resume?  Just want some opinions here.  Thanks everybody!!
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time.  I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment).  I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time.  I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.

No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40.  I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed.  However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws.  I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary.  Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad. 
Glad it worked for you. I have worked for companies
that were more reliable and paid without the delay I had. Maybe you started before they started doing that but it makes no difference. I TOO am a single parent.

You are not trying to argue? Sounds like you not only are trying to argue but you are just waiting for anyone to post anything about the co on here so you can just get out there and respond, which seems to be the way I have always noticed it. It's like all the MTs or whoever that work there are just waiting to respond.

This board is about the good points and bad points about companies. I am telling my experience.

The people were nice people though, but my experience was not a good one and I will not say it was.

I can go a week after the end of payday and even 10days later but that's it. Kids would starve.
Best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a lot!
I can't believe some of the things these people say here, and have to wonder if it just the same person or two bashing. I have been at MDI for four years and I do not have a low workload and I get treated very, very well.
They one I am not sure of. I have always worked FT for them. I have worked both IC and employee
and I always did way over 12,000 a pay peroid. I am sure they are pretty comparative to other companies. You definitely could contact a recruiter by applying if they would answer all of your questions up front. Good luck.
Worked for both
They both have their pros and cons. MedQuist is poor at communicating with their staff. Keep you in the dark, but they leave you alone and let you work. Spheris, on the other hand micromanages every minute of your time. If you stop to go to the bathroom without signing out, your phone will be ringing within 5 minutes with your supervisor wanting to know where you are. They are much better at communicating and support, though. You just have to pick your poison.

I worked for both MQ and S.
MQ SUCKS!!!!  Spheris has better training, no rental fees on equipment, management and trainers who actually know what they're doing, a decent platform, and better pay.  Those jerks at MQ threatened via $30 Fed Ex envelope to sue me for the equipment I had already mailed back to them, and I had proof of it with UPS tracking confirmation.  And no, I never got fired from there.  Besides all that, S isn't involved in any lawsuits and hasn't been delisted from NASDAQ like MQ has.
When I worked at MQ
Their "clinic work" was from Emory University and very, very difficult. It was in their clinics that they did drug studies, cancer research, surgeries, AIDS research with lots of ESL residents and doctors. It isn't like a nor doctor's office "clinic." They don't tell you that when you take the job.
worked for both
cherry picking (MDI) and they have to know what you are doing all day (TSI) "WHERE ARE YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU TYPING?"
OK, I worked for a different TSI.
I don't know about that one.  I work for a very small MTSO with fewer than 20 MTs.  It's my fit, but I'm not going to name names on the boards.
Worked for both.....
I worked for Spheris a while ago, they were very unprofessional in my opinion, disorganized and really didn't pay well, communication was almost nonexistant. My manager never even introduced herself and just really had a bad attitude in her email, which was her only contact.

I started with OSi about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Their platform is very easy to use and highly productive. I have never run out of work, pay is always on time and they are very flexible. I am completely happy with them.
worked for them?

This Worked For Me
You sound like you are in the shape I was in about 5 years ago with my hands. My doctor recommended high doses of Magnesium with smaller doses of Vitamin B6 with it. I took 2600 mg (all at one time) of Magnesium every day with 200 mg of B6. Within 3 days my pain was COMPLETELY gone and I've never had to wear braces again! Of course, I no longer take those incredibly high doses of magnesium daily, but I do stick to about 1000 mg a day with a 100-mg capsule of B6, and I've remained pain-free all this time. Good luck to you!! And by the way, my friend works e-bay as her full-time income and seems to be pretty content with it. :)
Have you worked for them before?
Just wondering if you have worked for them before and know how bad the accounts are.  I dont want to get into a bad situation.
who had it when you worked on it?
?
Has anyone ever worked as an MT
Just applied with temp agency who is hiring for MT work.  Don't know what to expect.  I will be giving up the at-home job to do this job.  I think.  Just wondering would it be less money and demanding line counts, etc.  I think it's close to home. 
Has anyone here worked for JLG?
nm
Never worked there. Don't know.
:)
I worked there I IM'd and
I never heard back from them and if I did it was hours after my message got sent.  Duno what went on there.
I have worked both FT and IC
at home and currently working SE, but am changing to FT.  We need the insurance.  Since I want the option of working more extra if I need it, I have obtained a PT job and might change that to IC.  I like the option of working more than 40 hours to achieve my financial goals. 
I worked for them
Nice company to work for, always pleasant, and the pay was on time.  I don't know if there is a website.
I worked for them and every
Had to call and beg for someone to send me something. It got really old.  They have a person who patrols here and is well versed in trying to sound like an MT, but you can pick it out a mile away what she has written.  And it's not DH.  She is a good person.  The other one I'm talking about, well, her head turns all the way around when she speaks.
No I do not but everyone I have worked for does it.
It is not limited to one co. They just don't care. There is only one company I know that will not take anyone off until they know their work is at almost 100%
Have worked there for a few
 
I worked for a ST like that
nm
worked for them for a little while
800 lines minimum per day, 1000 on Saturdays minimum.  You can set your own schedule but must stick to it.
who knows, and I worked ........
for them for 2 years.
I worked there

Never got a response back ...all I ever needed was another account because I never, ever had work on my primary.  Try sending your 2 weeks notice, lol.  You will get a phone call in record time after hitting the send button.  I no sooner hit the send button and bam my phone was ringing. 



Its a great company to work for, but the communication just really sucks.  I never would have minded and would probably still be there if I never had the running out of work issue and being told I need to make my lines when there was only 20 minutes of work in my 5 hour a day schedule. 


My advice to you is to KEEP calling, keep e-mailing... or like I said, once you are really fed up, time how long it takes to hear back when you put in your notice and wait for them to ask you whats wrong and let them know it.


 


same as one that i worked for; 3.5 also
/
Yes, I worked for them. sm

I worked there in 2004 for a short time.  I had to leave as the system was too slow with my dial-up.  I was doing an account utilizing Meditech and TransNet with great dictators from a Hamilton teaching hospital.


They are in Ottawa, ON.  That's Canada, of course.  I was an IC.  They provided computer and all other equipment.  I believe there was a small rental fee.  You are paid by the minute and the pay was good at the time.  They are a growing company, as far as I know.  I would recommend them.


Um, she worked for MQ! Enough said?
x
Ah, but have you ever worked for MQ???
x
Yes, I have worked for several different
companies. The words from dictation are all the same, but the working conditions, the transcription platform, the personnel, are all different and I would rather leave a company early before I get entrenched in an antiquated system. I think that is best for both the company and the employee so you do not become bitter and are not taking up a lot of time/space, requiring excessive amount of assistance, etc. When I find a platform and people I like to work with, I am there for the duration or until they cut the pay, and then I am out the door.
I worked there
There's a lot more to it than just editing. You have to track the changes for the new people, keep logs you aren't paid for, one for payroll and one for each supervisor/account. You do more other than you do editing. They shorted me a week's pay and then I had a check arrive 12 days late (at that point I quit) with the payroll person telling me it wasn't her problem. I liked the platform and the work, but the rest just stinks.
Has anyone worked with PDA?
Professional Dictation Associates...Has anyone worked for this transcription company and have any helpful information about being employed/contracted with them?  Thanks in advance.
