Have not worked for Transcend or SoftScript so can't judge. I agree with the above poster; pay good, shift diff, PTO, decent bennies. Lots of work. Keep in mind there are two parts of Webmedx - the one on Enterprise platform and ChartMatrix; the ChartMatrix side seems to have more negative reviews.

How long you been at Webmedx? I currently work there and
think they are a great company except for slow issues. Where you going?
Having worked for Spheris before, I'd vote for Webmedx.
I tried to get on with them, but I was working three part-time IC jobs at the time so I couldn't get their test files completed on time.  I got maybe two hours of sleep three nights in a row because I had so much work dumped on me.  Blown chance!  I wish I'd blown off the IC jobs and finished the test instead.  The test reports were easy enough for me to do.  I asked for an extension on the test due date, but never heard back from them.  I understand their need for TAT, but they have to realize that it's tough to squeeze testing into an already overloaded schedule.  I'd much rather work one steady job than three IC contracts.
It was $1.15 when I left not long ago. nm

left MQ not too long ago, and I would definitely NOT
work for them if you are looking to make any money!

Good Luck!
this has been going on too long - I left because of it

As long as you left your job profesionally, you

I left there a long time ago but I
had office people but I don't think they were MT's.  I do remember the endless account rules and them changing all the time.  They were very disorganized when they distributed information.  It wasn't the worst place I've worked but it wasn't a picnic either. 
I'm no longer with MDI but I left long

before there were workflow problems.  I actually worked there 2 separate times with the same liaison and accounts each time.  I liked it there but I had a weird primary account that loaded work twice a day and I didn't like working around those 2 times.  My accounts are the ones that went to VR so it's a good thing I left when I did because there certainly wouldn't have been enough work after that on my primary.


Anyway, I have a feeling that they are wanting people to leave so that they can bring new people on at a lower rate.  That's really the only thing that makes sense, don't you think?  Times are tough everywhere so more and more people are going to settle for 8 & 9 cpl for statutory.  You've got tons of people coming on board who are used to babysitting their computer all day so the new folks are probably not going to complain.  The ones who have been with MDI forever are the ones who are really taking the hit. 


I agree that it is unfair.


 


DSG IS MY WORST COMPANY VOTE... DONT WORK THERE...
I agree, they are unprofessional and rude. They throw you into a pool that they have overhired for and there is not enough work to go around... then they cry and complain when youre not hitting your production. They set impossible standards.... unless youre a brown-noser, in which case, see those peoples posts as the ones who would say anything positive about DSG. Its like the movie Mean Girls, and the mean girls are running the show there.
May I ask why you left Webmedx? nm

I left WebMedX Too
They did exactly that.  They hired like crazy and all accounts kept running out of work.  I got so far behind on my bills I was afraid I'd never pull out, but thank goodness, I got a better offer and so far I do feel more secure.  WebMedx has nice people, but they don't keep their word, and they DO OVERHIRE.
I left them not long ago. Way too much time spent talking to
tech support because of technical problems or glitches with their system. I probably averaged 90 minutes a day down-time trying to get everything in order. Their transcription platform is not the best in the world from what I saw.
I left out wanting to share..(long night)

I would recommend a PT job. I left Webmedx because
I was having to take money out of savings to pay bills.  Some days I got 4 reports during my 8 hour shift.  I would work my weekends to try and make-up lines and I would work 12-14 hours/day.  I worked they schedule they told me I needed to work.  I was okay with it at first, but then they hired people to work Friday-Monday only and there was not enough work on my weekends to come anywhere close to making up lines.   They didn't tell me when I was hired (or anyone else on the account) that it was just an overflow account.  I figured out my looking at the past reports that they weren't getting all the work.   I stuck it out 4 months, but finally left when it became apparent that they weren't a bit concerned that I wasn't making lines.  I got 2 more accounts and managed to get a few more lines in, but neither account had enough work to make up the difference.  There were always a few accounts that had lots of OT, several of them were difficult accounts.  I even asked to work on one of them and was told I couldn't work on it as a secondary account.   There have been lots of complaints lately about lack of work, although there area always those who saw they have plenty of work.  It doesn't matter if they do if you don't, unless they are going to pay your bills for you.  
Left Webmedx and have yet to see computer deposit
Has anyone out there left Webmedx and had their computer deposit returned? I returned the computer on 8/22 and have not heard anything since. All the phone numbers at the Operations Center in PA go straight to voicemail. Any ideas?
Left MQ after 10 years for Webmedx, a better place. nm

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

I left EDiX/Spheris after 8 years there to come to Webmedx. SM
I moved over here in 2003 because I knew the recruiter and she told me it was a great place to work. She was right. The benefits are fair, the work plentiful, the bosses fantastic, and the QA staff wonderful. Good luck!
Webmedx - how long til 150 lph?
Any Webmedx employees care to share how long it's taken to get to the 150 lph? Are you actually able to type 8 hours a day straight typing? That's a lot considering in other jobs you'd not be clocking out to go to go look at samples, use the restroom or stop to rest your wrists. Yet it looks like to keep a good LPH you've got to clock out for anything that's not straight typing. And then to keep the benefits at 35+ hours a week, you've got to be clocked in. Sort of a catch-22. :(

Newbie here and a bit discouraged. Please share. Does it get better? I'm hoping once my normals are built up for some of these ESLs things will look up. Thanks.
How long does it usually take Webmedx
to get back to you after completing their tests and questionnaire? 
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

I left them over 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Moved to Webmedx. Quite happy. nm

Has anyone applied to Webmedx, and if so, how long SM
did it take to hear back? tia
As long as Webmedx pays well for VR
accounts, I won't mind, but if they do like Transcend, I will have a real problem. I can't afford to make half the line rate I make transcribing doing VR. We'll see and hope for the best.
How long have you worked for Webmedx?


How long does it take WebMedx to get back with a

I passed the initial screening and test about a week ago, and the next day was sent an email interview that I sent in the next day.  Is it time to give up hope, and take the wait as a rejection. 


So true. Massive overhiring. Shouldn't have left my other job for Webmedx. Use caution....nm
Good luck.
Webmedx hiring process - how long?
Once you know you've passed, any idea how long it takes them to get back with you with an offer?

thanks :)
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)

Just sent it off Friday, so I guess it could take a couple of days.  I am just ready to make the leap and I think I am leaning towards this company.  They sound pretty good from their ad and I see few/if any negative posts about them.


Just curious how long the whole process will take from application to testing to potential hiring and beginning work.  Any input? 


How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)

Sent in the initial application, got an immediate E-mail with some different questions on it which I submitted 2 days ago. 


Really want to work for this company part time for now, possibly full time later. 


Any info appreciated.


I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to
x
Much good work going to India. Bad work left
xx
I don't work for TT but when I left my former job I
was hired over the phone with the new company on my first phone interview with them. Companies do not always test if you have the experience and they can tell that you know your stuff when they talk to you.
I left for no work. There is work on some accounts, but NO
work on other accounts.  
I left MQ and went to work for them. I am level 8 SM
and on an account with lots of ESLs and started out doing DS which for me, not very productive. I put in my 2 weeks notice, and told my team leader why.
I left last year because the work kept
running out. Sorry to hear that the situation hasn't improved--looks like I did the right thing. Oh well...
What work will be left? N-D getting new accounts?
x
Yes, I can't afford to have no work so I left TT
I dislike the turn of events as they were my favorite company. I have nothing bad to say about TT. I simply got another job.
Sure, but what kind of work is left . sm
for straight typing?  VR rejects? 99% ESL and 100% crap?  At this point in time, there doesn't seem to be any reason for the VR MTs to envy the straight typers.
She left OSi to work for MedWare as an editor. (nm)

If even that much work left, and hopefully they will be able to afford aspirin. (nm)
zzzzzzs
I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on.  I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
I left there as they were always running out of work from overhiring.

Are there any companies left that do not work on platforms?
I have five years' experience but have never worked on a platform before.  I have worked straight out of my own version of Microsoft Word and am nervous about my productivity with learning a new platform.  Can you still use Expanders with platforms?  Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
I noticed that when I left DSG to work for another company...
my lines increased dramatically...don't know if it is because of the ESLs on the account or what, but lines were so hard to get.
Left 3 months ago for lack of work
and haven't looked back.  It is just the nature of the beast than when a network of accounts change to VR and MTs are doing more lpd now, there will be less work to spread around.  There were already problems with not having enough work, so I did not wait for the transition to VR  I had already moved down over the previous year from full time to part time because of lack of work.  Glad I made the move because I am also the sole breadwinner for my household and can't afford to go without work.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines? 
I just left a company due to lack of work, Monica.

Yea, you left out the fact that nobody is forcing you to work where you do...find a better job if

Are there any good companies to work for left??? Suggestions?
Looking for a place to call home. I am so tired of all the disorganized, cheap, and discouraging companies out there. I just cannot find a good fit. I work hard.. very hard.. and I would just like a company to be fair back, decent pay, benefits, organized.. etc.. Help...
I worked there for over a year...left because of lack of work...
one months lots of work, the next three months no work, so on and so forth...when there is a little extra work they do a big hire and once again the faithful MTs who stick by them have no work...I have been gone for over a year and it is still the same way...
