I don't think I can wait that long!
I haven't talked to anyone from Amphion, but their web site info looks great, especially the make your own schedule and holidays being completely up to the MT.
How long to wait?
Recently I tested and passed with a national company that has had quite a few advertisements on this site recently.  I immediately received an e-mail saying I had passed the test and when would be a good time for a telephone interview, which I answered...that was last Tuesday and I haven't heard anything.  I'm sure their HR department is very busy, but how long should I wait to e-mail them again, or try to call?  I really need this job and it's a good fit for my experience (PT).  Don't want to be a pest, but don't want to fall through the cracks, either.  Thanks!
Gone too. Finally, after long wait.
Too much BS.  Either tons of emails, work, work, work for your incentive, not that you EVER see it in your paycheck.  Send emails and get your ticket, automatic response, and never an answer from anyone who should answer.  Pays promised one day and delivered 4 days later.  Done with it and glad to be leaving.  Poor management, poor communication, if any, and poor everything.  RUN.
Who can afford to wait that long?
No way would I take such a job - what happens if they NEVER get paid? You work for free, that's what.

It's not common at all - you'd be better of getting your own accounts!
How long to wait to start new job?
I was offered a new job Monday and sent in the completed paperwork as required right away via fax.  I got a welcome letter the same day.  I have heard nothing since and did email once thanking them for the position and indicated I was ready to start immediately.  Still, I have heard absolutely nothing since.  How long should I wait to actually get started?  I was told that they were growing and I could have as much work as I wanted.  Any advice?
Pay is strange with a LONG wait...nm
xx
I know Heartland makes you wait that long.
nm
I wouldn't wait that long. If I cannot be on a regular
What are they paying, once a month? So, for the whole month of May, you draw pay on June 13th?

Not for me.

Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
How long did you wait for training at Transcend?
Just wondering what the typical time frame is from install to training?
Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?

Transcend...how long of a wait for insurance?

WTH do they wait so long? is it a form of torture?
lazy?!?!?!
Wait...let me guess. Shapin right? Can go for long without mentioning them!
If they are making the $ it is either because of working round the clock or whizzing through with poor quality. I am thinking whizzing through because in past postings they are very busy with posting negative things here. I make 4 cpl and listen to everything as required. I do well, but to do it right and be thorough you would not make big $ at 1.5.
Anyone tested and heard back from DTS America. How long was your wait? nm

may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm

QT? I call them several times a week and have NEVER sm
experienced a person with any kind of accent answering the phone. Never. Are you getting an answering service after hours that might have hired a person with an accent?
They told me they'd call by the end of the week.
so i'm just waiting, lol
I would call them. We had meetings all week and sm
the recruiter was saying that she is caught up and pleased with the way things are going. Perhaps you missed a call or email or they called the wrong number. I would definitely call as Terri is really on top of things!
We are on 7 days/week right now for rad. You need to call your lead. sm
There is PLENTY of work in radiology. I have typed more rad in the past month than ever before with any other company.
I got mine almost a week ago and already filed. You might want to call them.

We all had to call in to the new insurance company last week. I was told that it will be sm
around $250 per single and that KS will be picking up a large portion.
I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
How long have you been there? big account? Call them and ask what's up?!? nm

They definitely don't take that long, so please call the office.

They were still interviewing last week--wouldn't hurt to call or E-Mail
As far as I know they are still looking for Acute Care MTs, but I don't know how many they just hired or what kind of hours, FT/PT they still have available.  Could be that they are still looking for a couple more.  Sure wouldn't hurt to go to their website and call or E-Mail.  If they are still hiring, they may be jammed with applications, so if they do not respond right away that is probably a good sign and you should keep trying.  They are worth the effort to talk with them. 
I meant know where. Long week. LOL

Anyone know how long conference call lasts for new 401-K?

Thanks


I'd call her a whistle-blower LONG before I'd
and the reason I tend to believe her story over the employer's story is that these days they ALL seem to be morally deficient. So here in 2009, it's a lot harder to believe there's still a decent MT company left out there, or that there are MTs out there who actually make good money, than it is to believe someone's company has shafted them. Happens every day.
Not the one I am thinking of. There was a very long thread this week
from an MT who was fired and this had to do with the fact that MT should have been fired but still a long thread developed about it. Think it was the beginning of the week or something like that.
web site says MT-s go through a 28 week training process. That's a long time!

Tested with TT last week. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to response back.
I need a job...yesterday... I've been applying like crazy but cannot find anything worth taking.  I'm getting pretty desperate but still not enough to take 3 cpl for VR but check back next week LOL
I wasn't there long enough, put in a 2-week notice but ended up leaving early, footpedal and last

Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but

I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.

I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)

i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!

I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.

I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.

I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come.  I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it.  We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week.  Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
