Compensation for MTs was low. Everyone was required to work as an Independent Contractor, so therefore, NO benefits (no health, dental, vision insurance; no disability insurance available; no savings/401-K; etc.). Projects assigned unrelated to actual transcription are compensated at terribly low rates. Owners and many of the managers with NO medical transcription experience, which translates to lack of understanding what is involved in this field. Lack of professionalism in verbal and written communication. Major changes made on a whim, leaving those involved feeling it was not really "thought through" properly.
