I have a friend who works for them
and loves it, still very happy after a year and a half.
I have a friend who works for them - sm
They are AOK.  They leave her alone and she enjoys the work. 
Not sure how the pay works, but my friend's min. a day is 100

I have a friend who works there. They definitely do
See here for confirmation of their offshoring (page 10, PDF format):

Vendor = MTSO and Provider = healthcare provider contracting for services from the MTSO, btw.


I have a good friend who works there and she ...

tells me that she loves the job.  She says there is usually lots of work, except for the occasional holiday slowdowns that seems to be across the board for MTs.  She said that she never has a problem with getting her pay and she said that likes the fact there there are not a large number of emails coming at you and interrupting the workflow. 


 


A friend of mine works there...(sm)

the pay rate sounded a little on the low side to me (I'm thinking around 7 cents, 65 cpl), but she really didn't have a whole lot of experience when she started, either.  (We had worked together for about a year and I trained her as a new graduate before we both quit the company we were with.)  She really likes working for them; it seems like their trainers/QA people are really decent folks who give pretty good and fair feedback, which is something she really likes.


I do know they have benefits for both FT and PT people, which is pretty rare these days.


Is my KS friend who also works for the hospital that is down there? (sm)
Wow!  Three days in a row now!  And this is my first week! ha!  It really helped me that you haven't had this problem for four months and also the director, I know I cant say names here, reasurred me too, and I completely trust her.  Well, you knew it was back up before me yesterday, so, let me know if you here anything! Thanks ----
I have a good friend who works there and...
My friend works there is happy with her job. She does say though that people either love it or hate it - no in between. I do know though that they are trying to go to mostly a voice recognition platform for their accounts and they are trying to phase out MTing as we know it.
It's true........friend works there....sm
been there for a long time and she got a pay cut and I think she was in QA
A friend of mine works for them
She's on a radiology account and the last I heard she loves it. Always plenty of work, pay always on time and accurate, and nice people.

Hope that helps.
Friend works there and says pay is often late. They may dock for errors, too. Need to ask. nm

A friend of mine works for a hospital that has hired a director from one of the hospitals in
Pittsburgh and she wondered if he outsourced a lot of work or what he did when he goes into a new hospital.  They have all at home employees now.  I believe it was Allegheny Hospital.
it's called razzle/dazzle, confuse 'em, make 'em doubt themselves nm

The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.


No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute  or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.


You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with


Kick 'em 2 the curb - U are 2 good 4 'em! nm

QA loves MTs like this one
Not so much the ones who don't read the account specifics or look up sample reports.
Anyone out there that loves Spheris? sm
Just offered a job, haven't talked about pay or schedule yet. Let me know what you think!
Nah, she just loves VR, as do I, quite honestly
I think it just depends on the individual and the account to which one is assigned.

I do about 2.5 times as much editing as I do straight transcription (and I'm NOT slow at transcription, I'm quite fast). Therefore, I make a bit more editing than I do with straight transcription.

I'd like to point out, however, that I'm on an overall excellent account with very good dictators. The only time I encounter the 'it would be quicker to just retype it' is if the dictator has a bad/staticky/muffled connection and the VR can't recognize exactly what is being dictated.

I can see where it's not for everyone but I always thought it would be interesting to be a book editor; perhaps my love of VR stems from that early-in-life career goal, lol!
For someone who loves VR, sounds
great to me!
Well, anyone who loves their job needs to tell us where she is so happy at..Would love to know..

If anyone absolutely LOVES their company ... sm

I would love to hear about it!  I have 15 years experience, 14 of that acute care, need employee status with benefits.  I'm with the BIG transcription company now that is steadily taking away everything good about being an at-home transcriptionist   :(  Have been there 12 years. 


Any suggestions?  It's sure confusing going through all of these different companies, trying to figure out pros and cons. 


Thanks, I would love to hear from anyone who works for a great company! 


if anyone absolutely loves their company
I used to work for MQ but quit over 2 years ago. I now work for EMTSonline and absolutely love it. Work is plentiful. They are all very supportive. I absolutely love my work again.
But if you know you're a great mom and you know everyone loves you, sm
why would such a great person like you need  a card to redeem herself? 
misery loves company
and I'm on the verge of tears. Yes, I have e/m'd (multiple liaisons and Ms. C., requested more accounts, which were not given to me, and DID get answers to e/m but seemingly to pacify, not to remedy.

Must not have the same accts as fatcat, as mine were NOT full last night.

Guess my weight loss efforts will get help via the job, as I won't have money for much groceries and will be too depressed to eat anyway.
Misery sure loves company.

So now you are wishing your bad luck on me!  Well that's the way to be; you all are no different than me.  Furthermore, no one likes to hear the truth.  The truth is that MDI looked out for their business, which is what you would have done as well.  Everyone need look out for themselves. 


I'm just telling it like it is and the reality of it all.  If or when it does happen to me and yes it has happened to me, I pick up and move on.  I would never sit around and wait for work to come to me. 


Do y'all have no sense at all? 


P/S:  Companies start at 9.  You have to look for them though.  Transcend pays 9 to start, so what's your beef?


Who loves the platrform they work on and what company uses it? nm
nm
My 10 y/o loves pickle relish and mayo sandwiches
nm
had 'em all going!

rofl


not if you don't tell 'em about it! lol
just keep quiet about it
You tell 'em FastRad!! sm
$78,000 last year. Want to see my 1099's?
love 'em

You tell 'em sister....

Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted.  Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.


As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in.  Now that deserves pity!


I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say.  If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it.  What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job.  Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.


And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts?  It took for me to shake her up!  But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine! 



Tell 'em sister...

if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend. 


Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not.  There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do.  How would we know?  I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.


Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore.  It just means they also hire US MTs.


Umm... duhh! Of course I have - I'm one of 'em.
What I was taking about is that companies use that as an EXCUSE when they're trying to make their case about offshoring. They claim that all their US MT's are going to up and retire en masse someday, and they'll need to send more and more work offshore.

Just one more strand in their big web of lies.
High five! You tell 'em!
That's just what I was thinking.
Love 'em.
Most are a lot more interesting than your usual hospital reports.  I found there were a smaller group of docs to deal with and can get really familiar with them and not searching to find doc names , new drugs and facilities as much.  They do usually talk fast but that is what my slower control is for;-)
Call 'em!
Never say never. Give the recruiter and a call and follow-up on it. Sounds like you're almost in the door, so don't throw in the towel yet.

Go get 'em, girl!!!
You tell 'em sista...
People want feedback....  Here's your feedback and I heard the same thing as you!  Not worth it! 
Go ahead and warn 'em
but all too many people get carried away and make up all kinds of nonsense.  I have worked for a few companies and do know what is out there.  I have others to compare this company to.  So, that sure isn't the case.  Anyway, its a free board, post away...just warning others to watch out and to form their own opinions.
That's what I did...left 'em off my resume. GL to you.

I'm glad I turned 'em down...
I'm sorry to hear that...last summer, I was in contact with them, they offered me a job and I purchased a pedal from them...something about them just struck me as oogy, though, and I ended up changing my mind and turning them down. So, whew, guess I dodged a bullet.
Never heard of 'em - and I live in SC!
Do they have a website?
Oh, egads, that was stingy of 'em!
That's penny-ante wages!
You should call KS and tell 'em the situation (sm)

Ask to speak to the Director of Ops, KB. 


Hang in there!  To leave no work and come to no work is not good.  Unfortunately, the hospitals and other clients take forever to assign IDs to KS MTs. 


Yikes - with the pay cuts and all? You can have 'em.
nm
try archives, never heard of 'em. nm

Most of 'em won't tell you diddly until you've
up to & including your SS#, which I won't give 'til I've tested & gotten an acceptable offer.
Hahaha! That's too funny! You tell 'em! nm

Go get 'em. I will be rooting for you in absentia. nm
nm
Love 'em! They're my MT home (sm)
for the rest of my career I hope. I've been there 2 years and I cannot say enough good about the owners and the way they run the company. Plenty of work, pay never late, and I have never felt like an anonymous number on an employee roster there. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to e me @ ustshelby@hotmail.com and I'll try to help.
Some love 'em, some don't. DQS software drove me away about 3 mos. ago...nm
