Stealing our skills through buyouts and pay cuts
Pros
Working at home is the only benefit
Cons
I give Nuance 1 star because there was nothing lower. I got messed up with Nuance when my long-time employer, a hospital, outsourced transcription to a decent outsource company and I was quite happy with them, comparable pay and benefits, until Nuance bought them out (as they have several others) and ruined everything. It has been a lesson in humility and frustration ever since. (I'd like to insert here that neither of the former companies offered severance pay - the options were, job or no job.) Nuance has forced me to live in 2013 on 1970s wages. Oh yes, they "bought" me and stole my skills by forcing me into very low pay. And every December our Christmas bonus is they lower the pay and raise the standards so that now it is nearly impossible to meet production let alone bonus incentive (which is a true joke now anyway when I do meet it, i.e., $137 bonus last year now translates to about $17 this year). Very concerned what this December will bring. I had a great profession!!! I'm an old lady now, I can't just go out and get a better job (like back in the day, the great old day) when I must compete with 4-5 generations of people behind me who also need jobs!! So I am stuck here until I can retire and can return to bringing home decent money because, fortunately, prior to Nuance I did make such good money in this profession that my SS package is better than Nuance wages. Actually, maybe I should thank Nuance for teaching me (forcing me to learn) to live on an extremely limited budget.
