Does anyone know any reputable MT companies to work for?  I have a prospect on a local group here, but just waiting on them to get ready to hire for the position.  I was promised I would be the first one called when the position comes available.  I am afraid to apply for something online because I don't want to get in a situation that is just as bad as MQ or worse. 

I also need flexibility because I have a 4-month-old infant and have to work my schedule around my husband's full-time job.  So, if anyone knows of any good places to work, drop me a line and let me know. 

Thanks

Hello. I am sure many have asked this same thing before, just looking for a rooting section to feel better about this.  I currently work for a national.  With many changes, not feeling like a person, production sinking, morale gone, on and on and on... I decided to seek PT position with a smaller company.  So, I found a second company.  They are small, but growing. The director is a former MT.  They currently have about 100 MTs. The pay is very standard at 8 cents.  Their platform is slowing me down a bit, but they say they are working on upgradiing it.  Their communication and personal attention to me has been excellent.  I have 1 dictator. I see what work is coming in and have 20 hours to get it done. 

Is the small company too good to be true?  Being burnt from national, I am finding it hard to grasp that this really could be this good.  sure, the pay isn't as great..it is an IC position, rather than employee...but I am not stuck with God knows what work, changing all the time...and I am heard and appreciated.

Do I just bite the bullet and transition the small company into full-time and do the national PT?  Any comments, suggestions, etc would be appreciated!

Does anyone know if SoftScript sends work offshore?

Would like to hear pros and cons of these three companies, please.

Thank you.

Cannot find anything in archives.  Anyone know anything?

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,  I was wondering if any one has recent info about InScribe.  I am thinking of a position with them, but would like to know more.  Please e-mail me or post a reply if you work there or know something.  Thank You!!

Just curious how the transition over to speech was going for other MDI employees. 

Can I have a little feedback?  I have recently tested with most nationals and have been offered jobs. Who has the best insurance?  Who cares most about us with 10 years plus experience in acute care?  Who cares about quality?  I have been offered jobs with every national for which I have tested?  Who really is honest about their insurance, and values MTs who have been in this field for a long time?  I am not going to believe they are going to put us old MTs out to pasture, my goodness, we are the ones who caused this business to boom.  Please provide all opinions, I just want an honest company, paying benefits, computer provided, that cares about quality and experience.  Thanks.

This is not new.  I worked for the big ugly dare-not-speak-its-name behemoth and they always did that - you could work as much as you wanted, just dont' put it on your timesheet.  This was back in the last century.

The other website that is used a lot (MTDaily) has an ad on their job board by KS for acute care and onc. people. They state the platforms used are MediTech, Chartscript and Word. Would anyone know which platform is being used for the onc. account?

Also, I noticed lately the HR person advertising jobs for KS seems to be someone different than the one they have used for the past several years.  Anyone know if she is gone or what happened to her????

Thanks for your help.

I am especially interested in rate, copays, deductible, and prescription coverage, if possible.  Thanks very much!

Keystrokes has finalized the benefits package for full time employees and has received great feedback from our MTs.

We wanted to share these so that you get them straight from the source rather than in rumors and heresay.

To be FT, you must produce a minimum of 12,000 lines (acute care), 1200 reports (radiology) or a combination of the two.

After 90 days, all FT employees are eligible for:

2 sick days, 2 floating paid holidays, rate x 1.5 for holidays worked, 3 days bereavement pay for immediate family, 1 day bereavement pay for extended family, 401k plan (with vesting schedule for match), health insurance (paid by employee) and life insurance (paid by company), direct deposit.

After one year, FT employees are eligible for 5 days PTO.  After three years, FT employees are eligible for 10 days PTO and after ten years, FT employees are eligible for 15 days PTO.

After years of changes due to growth, we have deemed 2006 a change-free year and have put in place many surprise perks for our MTs for this coming year. 

We value our transcriptionists - both employees and ICs and want to make Keystrokes the employer of choice. 

Give us a look ... you will like what you see.  No more awkward growing pains; instead you will be treated with the professional respect you deserve while enjoying a personal touch!

Thank you to all who have helped mold the company into what it is today - we could not do it without the support of our transcriptionists, customers and supporters.  We even thank the critics - their criticism allows us to improve :)

Happy Holidays !

Hello.  I was wondering if anyone had any information on this company, K&R Consulting.  They say that they have a VA Hospital coming on board and that is what the MT would be typing for.
