Pros

Like many reviewers, only positive I can think of is working from home. Ultimately, I felt that turned out to be a negative. Since supervisors and administrators at Nuance don't see their employees face-to-face, there is no twinge of remorse or guilt when they change the rules yet again to the disadvantage of the employees actually transcribing/editing reports. It is noteworthy that downturn in wages has not seemed to effect the management and supervisory teams.

Cons

Substandard benefits in terms of amount of PTO and cost of insurance. Poor communication by supervisors. New account to learn virtually every week which makes maintaining quality and productivity all but impossible, even for seasoned emplooyees. Working on 3-4 different accounts with very different instructions on any given day is not going to earn any MLS a big paycheck. Some of the corrections made by the FIESA team in India are ridiculously incorrect but no one seems to care.

Pros

I really can't list a pro other than able to work from home.

Cons

Nuance makes it almost impossible to achieve the 99% accuracy they demand. I have editors from India reviewing work and they mark down for errors that are not errors. Time is required to reject the error and explain why it shouldn't be an error, thus either taking up transcription time or working after hours. I am earning less than half the pay I earned while working for a hospital before they outsourced. PTO for part time work is almost non-existent. 14 hours and have been working there 10 months. Poor communication between manager and transcriptionists. She'd rather talk about her personal life in emails rather than address our issues.

Pros

I was able to work at home. My hours were somewhat flexible. I was spared the expense of having to drive to work.

Cons

Employer has no regard for employee's skills, consistently paid less and less until I was making little more than minimum wage. Company apparently is owned by Wall Street investors and does not really know the transcription side of the business it operates. Apparently is putting its money into the speech recognition side which will eventually obviate the need for a transcriptionist.
