DTS America - Good company??

Anyone have any info on a company called DTS America?  I appreciate all feedback.  Thanks!!


One good thing about America - sm
if you want a job, you MAY have to conform.

EVERYTHING is being outsourced. If you do not want a job because it hurts your feelings that the people who OWN the cmpanies oursource, then that is just dandy with me. Maybe I'll take your perfect job and be happy with it. Your loss.
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm

No I am not a troll, but I did find a job. Good for me
I found a job as a medical secretary and that is good enough for me right now. It is not the best situation, but I will get some SUM tapes and practice. Thanks for the advise.
Good luck wherever you go...hopefully you find the right fit for you...

Let us know if you find it!! Good luck...nm

Why test to find out their pay is not good?
The recruiter should answer the question regarding pay before wasting time on testing.  JMO.
Good luck!. When you find the company, let us know. sm
I'm in the same boat. 
I have been looking and hope to find a good 'home' soon! NM
oo
i didn't find the communication to be good
well, it was as long as i said everything was rosey. Soon as things weren't so perfect, they became much less than friendly.
Find another job immediately - Not a good situation. Been there, done that. nm

That's about as good as you're going to find .. grab it (nm)

Good company, for sure. Find one where you're SM
consistently safe from overhiring--and then come back and give all the rest of us the name. In the meantime, for me at Webmedx most days have plenty of work, although some days require adjusting my schedule during the day to the work flow.

You know, evolving electronic capabilities and patient needs have now led hospitals--our employers' clients--to expect the very quick turnaround needed. Years past have taught home MTs we can work when it suits us. Is it any wonder that MTSOs are currently doing their best to deal with these realities by overhiring when needed? Webmedx is trying to stabilize this situation to everyone's benefit--economic at least for us--by pushing its MTs to meet our commitment of hours per week while still allowing some flexibility.

I'm MsIndigo and I approved this ad. :) Best wishes whereever you land.

Do you find that you are able to earn a good income with them?
Do you have ample work, or do you often have to resort to MT work to fill the time?
Anyone find Oracle to be a good company?
I was just referred to Oracle Transcription Services.  Is this a good place to consider switching to as an IC, as this is all they hire.   The flexible schedule of an IC definitely appeals to me.
Anyone find a good home at Softscript?
Any feedback appreciated.
Good - Find someone else to spew your venom at
You must really have a heart on for LandMark the way you jumped all over MY post when there are a few posts in this thread that said the same thing I did about companies going to VR. I said NOTHING NEGATIVE about LandMark.

You're obviously someone with a shell of a life who has nothing better to do than LOOK for reasons to start internet squabbles to make yourself feel superior in that delusional little world you've carved out for yourself, probably eating en and Jerry's by the quart and rarely seeing the light of day.

I feel sorry for you.

Do yourself a favor and step away from keyboard and get some sunlight on occasion. Perhaps you're lacking in vitamin D.
Gee, I tried real hard to find those good posts,

but all I could find, in addition to the other complaints already listed, were complaints about being in the "middle of an 11-minute job when it was pulled and given to someone else," "There has to be a better way NOT to make a living," "I know I am going to end up on food stamps," complaints of no compensation for down time and BTXT being down and MTs not being notified.


If there were one or two positive comments about it on there somewhere, they are certainly overshadowed by all the justified negativity, outrage and frustration that's there.


I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you recommend that anyone apply there for employment these days.  It used to be a good company, and like the song says, "Used-to-be's don't count any more."  Although I don't expect them to "bring me flowers" I do expect to be able to earn a living wage, and those days are quickly disappearing.


Make your own nest. Find a couple of good
accounts, multiple companies if you have to. Work on them every day just to stay on top of it. I used to bend over backwards to try to help where needed, but all I ever got was kicked in the head, so now I just do my routine. When they start appreciating people, (and not just an occasional 'oh how wonderful you are' when they are backlogged and know you can do a lot of work), by some type of recognition like a raise or promotion, then you can go back to being the nice guy.
Good MT hard to find & 1 familiar with platform is

Does anyone that is currently or had worked for DSG find it rather difficult to get a good line
count for some reason.
Question for anyone currently with DSG. Do you find it is difficult to get good lines there.
I started recently and seem to find it rather difficult to get a good line count for some reason.  Help appreciated.
Unlike the poster below, I did not find the ESLs good dictators at FN. sm
In fact, in my over 20 years of experience, they were the worst I have ever heard.  We got way more than 3 e-mails a day, too.  More like 10 to 15, beginning for help and sometimes bordering on threatening. If you are really good with ESLs, you MIGHT do okay. But who wants to put up with that?!?  No bennies either.  Glad I am long long gone.  The grass really is greener.
I think you would be doing good to find a reputable company, much less by putting qualifiers
:+
How many accts did you experience in 3 days? Been there for a few months and so far so good. I find
but compared to where I was the lines sure do add up, and I absolutely love my acct, supervisor, tech people and QA! All have been great!!
I completely concur. Find a good one, or move on, quickly. No loyalty involved. The don't sm
have any to the MTS.  NONE of them.
They want you to keep your schedule for TAT purposes but will work with you to find a good schedule
I love working there.
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

 Did anyone receive a response in regards to the rsdiology opening?  TIA.

I worked for them years ago. I only stayed 30 days because they had no work. They insisted on training in-house with them for a week, and then when I got home I ran out of work every day. They only had one hospital account - the rest were doctors' offices. This was about 6-7 yrs ago. Ask lots of questions You know how productive you are and how much work you need. Trust your instincts. One hospital account is not enough for a good MT. I can't imagine anyone is insisting on in-house training in this day and age, but any good MT should be able to connect herself and learn the technical aspects of an account remotely in, like...an hour.

I am looking for info on DTS America such as pay, plenty of work, benefits and how they treat you. I did see the one post about outsourcing to India, is this still their practice?


thanks,


 


Have you ever seen in America...
Have you seen how chickens, cows and pigs are treated as livestock in our country? Or how they are killed before being served up as Grade A American? Ever seen live chickens dunked into boiling water to scald their feathers off? It's not a pretty picture, no matter what animal or country!
DTS America
Anyone currently working there that I can chat with, if so please email me.  Thanks
DTS of America

 


RUN, FOREST!!! 


When I first started, they were great. When mgnt changed, it became the almighty $$.  I and several of my MT friends lost our jobs b/c they outsourced the work to India, lied about it, said there was no work, when there was work. One account they still have, that I worked on was Vanderbilt University Hospital, which is a HUGE teaching hospital and is the trauma center. How can Vandy be out of work? It is a  a joke that they're named DTS OF AMERICA when work is outsourced overseas.  You can e-mail me privately if you wish.


Signed,


fast fingers

I worked for DTS America for about a year. They changed the way they count lines, which caused the pay to drop about 20%. We were no longer able to keep track of our own lines, as they did not provide the software for that. I worked on trauma with quality of 98.5 or better. Eventually, I was making less than $6 per hour. They were constantly running out of work (read giving it to India). They required us to check the queue for work every 15 minutes, sometimes all day long! My state government lodged a complaint, and I was fired.

Does anyone have any info on DTS America?

Does anyone have any current information about DTS America QA positions?  Do they have plenty of work?  Do they pay on time?  Are their QA positions paid hourly or by the line?  I know they outsource.  Do they hire IC or employee? Thanks in advance for any information.

Offers medical effective first of the month following hire, which in my case was three days, as i started on the 28th of the month.

I am not sure if they are hiring currently, but so far I love the company, and the accounts are not too difficult to learn at all
DTS America
I currently work for DTS America and for the most part they are a good company to work for.  The only gripe I have is we still receive our checks by snail mail (which for me means another 3-4 days wait for my check) and the work volume is currently lower than normal, but that happens with any company at times.   
DTS America
Looking for current info regarding DTS America.  I searched archives but most of the info is old.  Pros and cons please.  What platform do they use.  Thank you.
DTS America
I have a friend who has worked there a year and is very happy- makes good money. She is always trying to get me to come to work for them, but I only have dial-up.
