ALL TYPE - OFFERED JOB - I'M ACCEPTING

Posted By: sassygrandma on 2006-02-26
In Reply to: Great company to work for. nm - former


Thank you all for your input, it is appreciated. 


I'm going to accept .  It is wonderful because I will be doing what I love most...training  and QA (don't scream now...I'm old it will hurt my ears!).  I owned my own business years ago, and have always been a working MT.  I have worked as an MT and trainer for over 32 years; last was for another larger national as a trainer and when I left (the grass is not always greener on the other side, especially going to work for the wicked witch -- made a HUGE Mistake!) shortly thereafter (about 1-1/2 weeks, honestly!!)  I realized I wasn't as happy as I was training.  To make a long story short (as my oldest and dearest friend told me  ) Your setback was a setup for a comeback! 


 


Thank you again

ALL TYPE - OFFERED JOB

Hello - I posted a week or so ago - never heard anything back.  Does anyone have information, good or bad, about ALL TYPE ??? 


Please, I'd like to know more as I am thinking of taking this position.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks All 


Have been offered EXTREMELY good position with All Type Inc.....sm
I unfortunately need to look for a new company, due to the fact that my MTSO has lost accounts and mine is one of them....I really love working with her.  Anyway, looking elsewhere, All Type seems really wonderful, super-nice recruiter, IC status, flex schedule, very good cpl rate, choice of work-types, etc.  Is this too good to be true, does anyone have experience here....cannot find much in search.  TIA!!!
Oh no, I'm thinking about accepting a job with them.
nm
Considering accepting an offer to do
Would love to hear from current QA folks at Sten-Tel. I am concerned because it is an IC position...is there a steady workload? I can't afford not to get 40 hours per week.
The ones accepting these positions must be SM
newbies, cause I can't believe an MT with much experience would put up with it.
Are they accepting resumes? sm

I used to work for them about 2 years ago on acute care and had to quit because everything they had required high speed internet and I only had dialup at the time.  I now have high speed and would be interested in working on one of their radiology accounts.  What are the line requirements for radiology?  Where would I apply?  There is no place on their website to apply.  Thanks.


I'm in the process of accepting a position with them. SM
They didn't say anything about a turn-around time, thought, so maybe this varies by account.  I liked the sound of the account I'm going to be doing and so I'm going for it.  I wish the pay was a little higher, but I always wish that!  I actually didn't ask about raises - didn't think about it.  I'm not really much help, am I? lol
Costs associated with accepting a position do not sm
include purchasing MS Word or medical spellchecker. Keystrokes provides the platfom for the account you are on and if you do not have Shorthand, they will provide it for you.

Some accounts do require unlimited long distance, but I have it anyway as I have 2 college students out of state and a teenager. I went with my local cable company and can call anywhere any time. It is less than my regular phone was.

I'm glad you are happy with your decision, but if you look in the future for another job, don't count KS out as they will work to help you get what you need and the account that best suits you.
TT web site not accepting resumes?
Hey y'all, just tried to send TT my resume by using their website resume sender lol I tried sending it on IE (gave me a 404 error) and on Netscape (it just sat there). Anybody have an email address I can send it to? Thanks! JC
companies accepting satellite connection
Cannot get DSL/cable (no way). Need suggestions on companies hiring with satellite connection. Thank you.
Why does progress mean accepting a lower wage?
I want to point out the contrast between the OP and this response.

The OP says MDI moving to VR is to cut costs. Had to Respond says it is keeping up with the times and says nothing about reducing costs. Is moving to VR keeping up with (sic) technological times or is it being used to reduce costs?

I believe it is the latter, not the former. And if that is the case, Had to respond has no straws to grasp to justify the transition. It is NOT about moving with technology and everything to do with paying less to the ICs.

I am so not impressed with Had to Respond and her big girl panties to accept less money.
My creditors are just not accepting nice for $$$$ to pay my bills
We continue to get these emails from mgmt about big things in store . . . but we cannot tell you about it now.   This has been going on for a number of months now.  Who is going to benefit from those big things.  We MT's are LOSING money each and every day, but you keep getting the same size paychecks because you are either salaried or hourly employees. 
It is very sad you are so accepting of offshoring and AAMT turning a blind eye to the American MTs.
The offshoring would not be a problem if there was not such a huge difference in cost. We are on the losing end and taking pay cuts because of offshoring. Also, I know many who have lost their jobs to cheap labor overseas. AAMT is encouring this. That is wrong. America is slowly become a third world country in itself. If we don't stop it now, there will be no jobs left for Americans. I don't care where you are from or what kind of job you have, the pay should be equal for all so the competition is fair. You will find after some time with AAMT, you will be ignored and will receive nothing but redundant information from AAMT office and local chapters. Anything they offer can be gained via the internet now.
Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
just got offered a job

Does anyone work or have any info on Wordzxpressed?  I have been offered a job and want some feedback.  I have been in an office job since Nov and want to go back to at home transcription but don't want to get burned!!!!


 


Thanks


Same here right now, because OT is offered

PLUS it is the end of the pay period when all the end-of-pay-period MT's decide to get on and take away all the work -- they have been resting for 2 weeks and can work all day and night and get their lines in. YUK !


I was just offered a job...
Pay rate is starting at 8 cpl for an IC.  After 90 days you get 8.5 if you have good quality.  They use "Winspread"  (not sure of the spelling).  Have been in business for 3 years.  Have direct deposit.
They offered me 8.5 cpl.
nm
Don't know about the others, but I was offered

a position.  I have 20 years' experience in acute care, very good at ESLs.  They offered me 8 cpl with the potential to make big bonuses - but that means I'll have to work extra and it just isn't worth it to me and there is no guarantee anyway.


When I asked if they offshored the HR person was hesitant but said they do if the client requests it. 


The person I talked with a Cymed was evidently just HR and didn't even know what I was talking about most of the time when I asked questions about platform, line counting, etc.  


I was offered a job with them...sm
but did not accept it. It seemed like their pay per lines were a little low.  Plus, after extensive conversations with them, I felt that they had REALLY high expectations for the pay that was being offered. Unsure though because I never accepted the job after it was offered.  Hope you find out the answers that you are looking for.
When I get offered anything less than..
9 cents, I tell them right out that is low and ask if they can do better. Sometimes it works!
I just got offered 6 cpl as an IC with my
10 years of experience. That was just laughable!
Don't know much about them except what they offered me
They offered me 0.085 and then up to 0.09 once off 100% QA.
Not so. I was offered a job with them not
long age. They supply all equipment and if you have an additional phone line, they will reimburse you for that.
what do you mean - should be offered?
It is offered and available dependent upon what option you choose employee versus statutory versus IC. Do not run out of work - pay is on time/direct deposit and they communicate with you - what else do you want?
Just offered 8.5 cpl (sm)
They have very good benefits, and good bonuses for O.T. and when work is out of TAT.  Is this an average rate?  I know a lot of you ICs make a lot more, but what about with the benefits and bonuses.  Is it bad? They have a good platform - ExText, and the company I am at has horrible, user hostile software.  help, please
I would take something else if offered

It wasn't for me - good training grounds maybe - hard to make decent money - at least IMHO


In looking at ads, 3.5 to 4 cpl seems to be what's offered most. nm
s
Then what happens is you are offered
a job by that outsourcing company because you know the account, but most likely as an IC with no benefits for a year, etc., etc.  So there are hospital jobs few and far between that will stay in-house.  Eventually they all want to save a buck.
I was offered 7 cpl

I believe you. I was offered 7 cpl by Transcription Relief Services for over 20 years experience.   


Just offered a job
with TransHealth and was told that insurance starts on the first of the month after 60 days of employment.
...is what's offered. nm
s
Offered
Yes - the original post offered only 7cpl. The accounts we inherited are paying only 8cpl. That 1 cent margin barely pays our very limited overhead. As we bring in new accounts we are quoting more realistic rates and paying our MTs accordingly.

We have some great MTs on our team - all with us because they know we'll always treat them like people, and not like a number.

We're open with them about where we stand, and they appreciate us not giving them a load of %$#% and promises, but the real bottom lines.

I also just got offered at job at 8 cpl
They told me that after 90 days you get a review and increase in your pay depending on how you do.
I was offered 9.5 cpl and they also
seem to offer a lot of incentives - almost every weekend - 1 cpl - no minimum required. That doesn't sound bad to me considering what MQ pays me after 10 years of service - a whopping 7.75 cpl and only 70% of that for ASR.
i was offered
recently too. does anyone on here have anything good to say about them?
TTS offered me 6.5 cpl
NM
6 cpl was never offered to anyone!
I don't have a clue where that came from!!!!
Yes, it was offered to me. I can even tell you the
Your name wasn't on the email, so I wouldn't expect you to know. Her name started with a J.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
I was offered a job with them
in November and told I would be contacted about training. I did not hear from them until early January and training was scheduled for the end of January. I had to move on, I can't wait indefinately to make money to pay my bills or feed my family. Just my experience with the Focus training wait time. Have they told you yet that you will have a 700 or so minute long distance bill with them during that training? Just wait, eventually they will. I was afraid those long distance minutes would be minutes to India, which would be too expensive for me.
They pay me better than anyone else has ever offered.

When I was checking around for jobs, no one wanted to pay more than 8.5 for standard typing and 4 cpl for editing. I get paid way better than that. So, maybe I have missed something.


I was offered the same 7.5 cpl with s/m
4 years of Acute Care and OP experience, after telling them my line count averaged out to 190 lph with heavy ESLs. I also made a 98% on their online test, so I don't think experience counts much with them.  They did tell me that after I got off QA they would give me the .09 that I am making now, but wouldn't put in the offer letter in writing, so I told them to take a hike.  I think they are a big scam. 
I even offered...
...to take up a collection amongst the MTs to get him a tube of Petromalt (feline hairball remedy that makes it easier for the kitty to hack it on up). While my manager found the suggestion extremely humorous, she didn't think the dictator would see the humor in it.

:-)
once again OT offered
totally with you on this.  I have not had a full pay since last year.  account specifics always changing and definitely overhiring.  I was switched to another account because of low work only to find out it was another overflow account.  No one watches the OT. its all about how to make them look good and get everything in TAT. someone needs to watch the TAT and once it there, cut off the OT.
did what you did... got offered
highest at 7.5 with MD-IT. Turned them down.
Offered a job at KS...

...and now after reading some of the posts, I'm afraid to accept it.   I can't afford to run out of work.


yes she offered to pay me
but I said that was not necessary - I would just chalk it up to a learning experience.  I spoke with her a couple of times on the phone and seemed very nice, but thought a bit unreasonable not to allow a learning curve, seemed to want someone who could jump in without ever hearing this doctor before and get it perfect.  It was a nuerosurgery doctor as well.  You have much more experience, so may work for you. It did sound very flexible. 
I probably will if offered sm
a job. They received my test yesterday and said they would let me know as soon as they checked it.  I kind of figure, like every place else, it may depend on the account you are working on..  One person says the sound quality is good another says its bad.  The only reason I am asking waterbaby is because I don't want to jump into something that I know is bad from the start.  What was bad years ago could be good now.  I don't start jobs to check them out I stick with them and work out the bugs!
OMG she offered 1 cpl sm
for transcription and not VR (which is unbelievable either way) I sure would love to know what idiot company this is! I cannot believe anyone would be so rude and crude as to send a note back like that! What does she pay after 30 days, 2cpl? We all have to take concessions but that is an insult and I hope that business folds!
I was offered $1....
I was offered $1 per line radiology job about 1 month ago. I have not looked at the job posts on MTStars lately, so I am not sure if it could be the same place? If I had known that was what the job was going to pay, I would have never applied. I have been transcribing radiology for about 12 years now (20+ years total MT) and cannot see any feasible way of making money on radiology being paid by the MINUTE. Someone would have to pay me about $10 per minute....then I might possibly, under pressure, CONSIDER it. That is RIDICULOUS!!!
I was offered that as well...

I could not believe my ears.  You did amazing on the test, we would like to offer you a position for 7 cpl.      WHAT?????   Did you just say that??????


I make 10 cpl now.  Are you CRAZY?????    Ok, ummmm, NO!  Bye.
