So nope, no quake-a-rooni up there. According to USGS, the only ones up there in the past week have been a mag. 1-2, so small as to only be felt by seismographs.

Go to 2nd page - " Can't Hold This News"
There is a lady's name posted and being talked like crazy!!
I've learned that it is exactly that - a store front. Or maybe just a front. nm

No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them. But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work. They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to. If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc.
I thought no news is good news, too. Then got email about

I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
If no news is good news why is a person

I agree - no news is good news - sm
They are busy making sure you have work and want you to stay productive and busy. What is there to talk about? I personally like being left alone to do my work. As long as you get a check and the work keeps flowing, just do your thing! 
Is this news should have been labeled NEWS ALERT ...
This is breathtaking information and everyone who works at TT or is considering has the right to know. It will be buried with a title like is this news? It seems as if you are responding to the first poster's complaint of no work.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page

Sometimes.....NO news is Good news. sm
Maybe you are doing just fine and everything is correct. Maybe they do no feel you need feedback because your quality is excellent!!
Good thought for the day :-) !!
good news and bad news ----
Good - plenty of work, just landed a new acct.
Bad - Check posts from a few weeks back. Out of the blue, everyone got a huge pay cut.
I think there are 2, one in Oregon and one in NJ? Not sure...nm

Is this the one in Oregon?...nm

Yes, it's in Oregon
thanks!
Oregon

The one in Oregon
appreciate any info
They do tell you up front that they have a lot of ESL. At least they don't lie about it like mos

I have it in front of me and it says
39 hours working 150 lph gets health insurance, 401K and PTO and soemthing called EAP (employee assistance plan-help with family situations?) 39 hours at 100 lph gets 401 K, PTO and EAP Part-time 24 hours with 100 lph gets 401K and PTO and EAP. 16 hours with 100 lph gets 401K, EAP. 8 hours with 100 lph gets 401K and EAP. You need a manual to understand this manual. hahaha. So you see how the lph plays into the benefits now, not just hours but lines per hour. you can work 39 hours and if you can't get 150 lph done you don't get health insurance.
LOL, I have always said I will die in front

I also ask up front if they do VR. sm
Haven't done it yet and I am not going to. I will get out of the business before I will do VR. There are still companies that dont do it and some of them I don't believe ever will.
So sorry about this, yes, they should have been up front with you about what was going on, but (sm)
the norm seems to be to keep quiet until everything is finalized, and then let the ball drop. They should have had the decency to at least make a phone call, that was a nasty way to treat someone. I would tell you to come with my company, but we have work shortages too, so I don't think it would help you. Good luck, again!
Found one in Oregon but not NJ
The one in Oregon looks like (at least on the doc side) to use Intrascript. I would not recommend this platform at all. It is a big fat pain and slooooooow. If it is web based, that has a tendency to be faster, but the installed program version is very slow even on a brand new computer system.
Is this the NJ or the Oregon location? nm
s
Yes, Advanced is in Oregon.
I think it is 600 lines a day three days per week for part-time, but I am not sure about full-time. IC position. I think you do have to be on an instant messenger though.
Is this the one located in Oregon?
nm
Advanced in Oregon???
They run out of work on accounts, and then expect you to pick up and just learn a new one on a moment's notice. You have to have MSN messenger and be accountable if you need to step out and give them notice if you're not working a particular day that you have to commit to working (they leave that out until you are all signed on and set-up). The platform is clunky. The recruiter is nice at first, of course, aren't they all? Then, you get to working and the accounts run out.  This was my experience. I dropped 'em; IC to me equals freedom, not chained to the desk. Sorry...
CTS of Michigan, TRX of Oregon?
Anybody know anything? Good, bad, indifferent?
PLatforms?
Pay scale?
Work availability?
Personalities?
Thanks!

Look, if you want up-front responses SM
from people, you need to be more up-front about who you are, what company you are hiring for, etc.
That was kind of them to tell you up front
instead of trying to sugar coat it like some do.
Why not ask for this IN WRITING up front?... SM
However, most of what you get in writing from MTSOs is (have you ever read a rental lease drawn up by LL/mgmt?) almost always in THEIR favor, whether it's an IC contract or employee agreement. Ever notice how they hedge on where it comes to pay rate? Mine states only compensation.... on an agreed-upon rate. Still, you could probably negotiate items that are important to you and not negotiable, like in your case, no typing, specific pay rate, hours, schedules. If they refuse to state these in writing, don't count on being able to negotiate them later.
I was not told that up front . . .
that was the first excuse I got when asking about my check. I have been in this business a long time and this is the first and only time this has happened. Sometimes you can do everything right, but still get ripped off by unscrupulous people.
Perhaps sometimes, but so far these people have ALWAYS been up front with me. (sm)
I also have to admit that today I have had relatively few of those dictators that make you cringe, much less than what I usually get and I have to wonder if perhaps some people were not taking heed to the warning.
Be up front with the company.
I never had OP experience when I was with a hospital and was scared of them. When I went for a national job, I told the company I was lacking in OPs. When I felt a bit e comfortable with all the other acute care that I never had experience with (ophthamology, cancer, etc.), I asked to have a few ops downloaded to me to try them.
Now I don't turn down a single job and believe me, there are a few like the above I don't get too often, but when I do, I just take my time with them and try not to leave blanks. Sooner or later, they will all fall into place just like acute care; i.e., it will take a long time to get through the first few reports, but it's well worth it. I now like doing OPs and am happy when they download first in my queue.
If they'd tell us up front what is in store for us, they would
save us all a lot of time. Is it too much to ask to have an idea of the type of audio, dictation, the details that can make or break the enjoyment of a job? After 25 years, I have paid my dues and would like to have an account that is enjoyable, gives me an income I can live on and a management team that doesn't use the drill sargeant approach. What is up with all the rude attitudes? Maybe the account they acquired should either be dropped or charged more if no one wants to transcribe their work. That, in turn, would snap lazy inconsiderate dictators out of their mode of let the MT figure it out/look it up. While they rake in the money because time is money and when I am not typing in a report, folks, i am not making any money. The day I meet a woman/man who does this job as a hobby, I'll rethink my stand.
Front end VR is a mess
A radiology group went that way and they had to hire more IT people and one more MT to fix it. Not as successful as one would think. EMR point and click takes 20 minutes versus a few seconds to dictate. Plus more IT people.
Advanced Transcription, Inc, out of Oregon?
Noticed they had a posting on MTJobs looking for ICs. Did a search but "advanced transcription" is hard to find both here and in search engines without it being about schools. Anyone with experience? Pay on time? Steady work? Etc?
I'm thinking of applying but I always like to hear about companies first.
TIA
I live in Oregon and have not heard of them...sm
what is their web address? TIA

Greenlight Transcription in Oregon?
Anyone have any info on this company? Thank you.
Need on Advanced Transcription out of Oregon...SM
Wondering if they have flexible shifts or if you have to stick to a certain timeframe everyday, and whether or not you can just do clinic work or if they require the big 4.
Any other info such as how you liked the job, etc., would be great, too.
