Pros

I can't think of one pro for this company other than being able to work at home, but that is true of all transcription service companies. I do have a good team lead, but that's the only good thing I can say about this company.

Cons

The voice recognition is so far off that many reports have to be practically retyped. The QA is so stringent about stupid little things that they make it impossible to achieve the percentage required for bonuses. So much time is spent on things other than transcription that it is impossible to make a decent wage. If we are not entirely certain of what we hear and decide to leave a blank and QA is able to get that blank, we are counted off, but if we type what we think we hear and QA doesn't hear the same thing, we are counted off for that. It's a no win situation. I have worked in transcription for 20 years and make less money now than I did when I first started out. For the knowledge and experience required for this job, our pay rate should be much higher.

Pros

The company offers excellent training and a thorough onboarding process, helping new hires feel well-prepared and confident. The small, close-knit teams foster a collaborative and supportive work environment where you never feel lost in the crowd. Employees take pride in the innovative technology and software being developed, which is recognized as impactful within the industry. (Note: The company was acquired by Microsoft to bring potential for future growth.)

Cons

While the company excels in many areas, there’s limited upward mobility, especially in certain career paths, which can be frustrating for those seeking advancement. Additionally, feedback from employees often feels like it’s not taken seriously, which can lead to disengagement when trying to influence change or improve processes.
