Vantaggi
1st, there seems to always be plenty of work. 2nd, I'm fortunate to be under a TSM that doesn't micromanage, listens and tries to help with issues that may arise, to the best of her ability.
Svantaggi
The pay scale - it's nuts! In the old days, we worked in the doctor's offices. Those HUMAN docs understood that we HUMAN transcriptionists make mistakes from time to time and YES! it went in the permanent record. Everyone that handled those records understood that there were going to be mistakes - fast forward to today and the industry today...this company takes the cake, though. It's like not being paid when you make a mistake - never mind the thousands of lines that went without error - BOOM! One mistake and you're docked in pay - and I'm talking 3-4 cpl. It's unreal. I stay because I can be PT, I like my dictators, and on my super-human error-free days/weeks, the pay is okay.
