Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company

Loyalty has nothing to do with it until you find the company for you. Be loyal to THAT company.
:p
Find another company
I agree with these posters. I am there NOW and will not be soon. They do NOT provide equipment, you have to buy your own pedal, you get these bitchy E-mails, being talken down to REGULARLY. Not only is their management a piece of crap, but their tech support sucks..if you happen to work when there is no tech coverage, too bad for you, you have to wait until they come in the morning. PLUS I am using my own computer. Arrogant QA people, ignorant "managers"...and it all crashes down on the poor MT's head who is just trying, FIGHTING to make their lines. Please, please do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere.
If you find a company that does that let me know, please. nm
 
You will not find a better company
The dictators, etc., is up to the MT.  Can you do it?  TT is a great company.
Find a different company. This one will not get better.
No one answers any questions, you only hear something if you make a mistake. The platform for work is really nasty, more editing demographic work than typing, and the editing platform is the worst of the worst. Someone wrote that their pay is fair and it is, if you use fair in the context of poor, fair, good, and excellent, but it definitely is not fair in regards to quality or experience. During my interviews, I find many companies are offering much higher rates, especially with VR, even MQ with their bad reputation. In order to survive you have to work a 12 hour window because there is no work much of the time.
Find another company!
Transcend sure sounds like they are getting worse.  They have a ton of positions open but the VR platform stinks so bad that people are leaving rather than working at such a reduced wage.  No communication is the fault of the TL and ROMs which are the worst in the industry as someone said on here a couple of weeks ago and I found in my 3 years there that they are the rudest things and talk down to you and insult you more than help you. Now, there are a few great ones but from reading this I think the bad ones have infected the whole lot of them.  There are better VR platforms out there and companies with straight typing that are not rude and treat you like crap, go girl, go! 
I don't have all day to try to find a company

You won't find anything like that with a company. Hospital sm

benefits are much different, but there aren't many of those jobs left.  They are tumbling to the nationals increasingly.


Wmx has 6 paid holidays for all full time employees.  Graduated rate of PTO, 5 days first year, 10 days for the next 5.  You won't find any company that offers any benefits at all to part time people, as far as I know.  The insurance cost at Wmx are cheaper than, and the coverage far superior to, any other companies I have seen. 


Where did you find that kind of company?
Please do tell, need to move on myself.
I'm trying to find out a company name. It is a small,

I think just an owner and IT person, company in Wyoming, I believe.   I can't remember the name of the company.  They offered me a position and I turned them down, but I need to make a list of all the companies I've turned down as many of them continue to contact me and I want to be able to say no right away instead of going through the interview again because I forgot.   I know there is a company in Cody, WY, but I don't think that is them.  They were extremely disorganized. 


Anyone have a clue who is may be?  I know I haven't given much info to work with. 


Do you find it a very disorganized company?
x
Find a company with work already

darn!  There's a suggestion...  There are plenty that advertise...  Most MTs on this board swear they can transcribe anything and can do so many lines a day, so look around that's what you do.


There's no such thing as job hoppin' if the compay doesn't have enough work for you.  Find another company that does.  Take control of your life and stop letting people walk all over you. 


The statement made by the other poster is most certainly a fact...  these companies take advantage because they have MTs who take their crap day in and day out...  move on already!


Has anyone used a recruiting company to find a job?
If so, how did that go? I need a new MT job (been out of it for about a year) and am having little luck finding anything reputable. I have over 5 years experience and seem to be coming to a lot of dead ends. I am getting seriously frustrated!
great. well i'd like to find another company.
i've lost my main account, on a seriously crappy account with a supervisor who has a large stick up her butt. I can't make any money here and I'm about ready to just quit and do something else.
If you find a company to cross-train in
can you please post the name of the company. I have been wanting to get into radiology. I probably know more than I think I do. However, radiology and medical records transcription were done in separate parts of the hospital, so never got to practice what I learned.

thanks
Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
 
Good luck!. When you find the company, let us know. sm
I'm in the same boat. 
TransTech is a great company. I don't find that they have any more ESL's than any other
company. The pay is good (not great, not bad), the benefits are affordable. For me, the best thing is that I feel I am treated with respect. They are great people who care about us. Overall, this is the best jobs I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
Why not? If your current company is out of work, you need to find another, and another and another,
you can make a decent weekly income. I've been there and done that, sometimes 5 companies at once, until I finally landed a decent position with consistent workflow.

How do you pay your bills making less than $500 a week?
What company just bought out Focus? I can't find it now. Thx. nm

If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
Can't seem to find any information on MD-IT. Does anyone have any experience with this company?
:-)
What is the name of the company?? StatlQ? I can't find it by googling (sm)
Can you give some more info, is there a website?  TIA.
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.

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.
WOULD LIKE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT HAS DECENT FAMILY INS. BENEFITS AND PTO
I have been working in-house at a hospital and would like to go home to work, but I am having a hard time finding a company out there that offers decent insurance benefits and PTO.. Any ideas are appreciated..
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?

You'll be hard pressed to find a company
that pays hourly and allows you to work at home, that just isn't the way the business works.   I'm not saying that those type of positions don't exist, just that they are extremely rare.  Now if you worked on-site that is a different story. 
I've been trying to find a company with steady work

I think we must work for the same company. I find it always interesting how they say how great
the workload looks and people are really working hard when the fact is they have overhired and that is why there is no work. Must be DSG right. They are hiring right now.  Cant imagine what they are hiring for.  Hopefully not the acounts that are already out of work all the time. I wonder what kind of turnover rate they have there.
I think you would be doing good to find a reputable company, much less by putting qualifiers
:+
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
In the Job Bank, company from Phillipines ..CYPHERSCRIBE INC. trying to find new clients.
What part of MT jobseeker's don't they get. They need to solicit work on another board.  Why would we want to offshore to them.
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm

I find this post funny. If a company advertises constantly, posters question if they are losing peo
3 weeks, since 5/24, there are posts that question if they are growing. Who cares if a company is growing or not as long as they have enough work for their MTs. I started PT with KS two weeks ago and will be going FT 7/10 after my long-awaited and much-needed vacation. They have treated me very well and have plenty of work if the account I work on is any indication. I also came to them on the recommendation of several MT friends who work there, all of whom are very happy and have been for a while.

If you want to work for a particular company, your best bet is to contact them. I have read in several publications that more jobs are filled before advertising than after the fact.

Give them a call, especially if you like/love radiology!
Did find a Wright Watson Sten-Tel in Austin if their site isn't old. Find 'em with Google. nm

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.
Suggest you find a 2nd company for backup. The backup accounts
are dried up, too, and you can ask for work daily and still never get any.  Once u get stuck on an account you are there til u die unless u happen to be management's favorite.  u never hear about any new accounts opening up, new platforms,  Be prepared to read the intermet message boards to find out what is going on, that is how I found out they had Beyond Txt and ExText, or had any work available, (supposedly) since they keep advertising for help, but I still do not have enough work to keep busy.   Liz wrote this big long message on here a few weeks ago, but nothing changed, nothing happened.  It is same as always, hot air to try to calm people down.  the
stuff
you have to purchase about $1200 worth of their "proprietary" stuff.
What to do to get rid of that stuff:
Copy the URL address of the offending post then click CONTACT (on the bar on the right) and fill in the Admin email form. In the box, type what the problem is (cussing, vulgar language, blah, blah) and paste that URL. Ask them to remove it.

It's the cussing and vulgar stuff they want out of here.


Why do we put up with this stuff?
No paid holidays, and the list goes on.  It feels like we should be '"greatful" that we get any PTO at all.  Who are they kidding? Who do you know who works at home all the time, never done, and the beat goes on.  I used to worry about voice recognition, now I think the best thing that could happen to me would be to have to find a "real"  job, real bennies, real security (or reasonable facsimile), real paycheck, real time off, real paid holidays, real sick time, etc.  We do way too much for way too little.  I feel like the time I get at home because I work at home is not enough to pay back the every weekend, pressure, pressure, pressure, always behind, never type enough hassles.  What pay is worth all that?  Let's be reasonable, maybe 60K a year but I make half of that in a good year.  And the more they tie me to the chair the slower I will be.  So on it goes.....time to get real...
I have seen some really BAD stuff done by them yet they keep on going.
nm.
Most MTs already have this stuff except for maybe - sm
the C-phone which you can pick up for less than $200 on ebay. Also you can write off all these costs against your income and save a little in taxes which is better than nothing.
and T/U for doing the other stuff!

Bad Stuff?

Could it be that she was given multiple opportunities to improve her line counts? 


I know for a fact that they will bend over backwards to help their employees and give them an ample amount of time to reach productivity standards.  Yeah, giving someone 3 years is a bit much!!! 


Why does one consider Axolotl a bad company because they require their MTs to produce 1200 lines during their shift, which is what is agreed upon at the time of interview and when the MT signs the employment offer letter?  Because the MT does not hold up their end of the agreement, Axolotl is a bad company for not keeping them? 


Again, if MTs want a job where they do not have to stick to a schedule and have a daily minimum that they have to produce, they need to go to a company and work IC.  Axolotl is not the place for them.


If MTs want a job with awesome pay, great benefits, great editors, great platform and lots of work, then Axolotl might be for you.  If the MT cannot type 1200 lines in a shift or maintain quality, it will not be a job for them.  But I think this has been stated before in a lot of postings. 


No bad stuff here
I really don't have anything bad to say about Transcend. they have been a great company for me, very flexible. In fact, any other company would probably not be as flexible as they have been. If you are struggling, they will work with you. They may outsource some work, but they are definitely not India. They are based out of Georgia. All of the team leads and managers are right here in the United States. IMO, one of the best and fairest transcription companies around.

I went through the same stuff

when training for Documed for a few days.  they expected me to be 100% perfect on the first day with a 80%+ account.  I was told to not do any more reports at this time.  A week later no word, and I emailed back.  ****, who is a real smart-aleck, emailed back and said we can't continue at this time.  Well thanks for finally telling me, coward.  Companies are real jerks sometimes when it comes to letting employees go. 


stuff
No HR department that I knew of. It's a husband/wife team, plus a couple lead supervisor/QA people, and a couple of other QA people. Husband rounds up clients, etc. Wife does initial interview. Lead supervisor trains for account specs. They use more than one platform, but the web-based one they pay a couple cents per line to that company to do the templates, etc.

They are really not worth all the hassle to try to get this resolved. I think this MT has already wasted more than enough time to account for the cost of the foot pedal or anything else. Call it even already.
I have not written any of this stuff
The secret to becoming a favorite at OSi will never be made publicly known, as there are plenty of people who consistently get at least 98%, 99%, or even 100% on audits, and are they rewarded for it? No. They aren't even told what they get because apparently their superiors would feel obligated to reward them. They just keep plugging away making the people "who hear it from the physician" look good while some of the QA team needs to be replaced for their holier-than-thou attitudes and their capacity to make crucial mistakes as well. The only way to grow and succeed with this company is not by being a model employee by being reliable and doing near perfect work without complaining - it is all in the hands of the powers that be, and what they look for, I sure as heck don't know, nor does anyone else not in the inner circle, 98% accurate or not. Why anyone would want to run a company this way is beyond me. Why not take the best assets you have - your employees - and use them to help your company grow, instead of playing these stupid games and giving people promotions simply because they have found a way to nudge into your circle? That is how companies succeed.
