losing accounts, so that is why they are always recruiting. The last information I saw was that they doubled in size between last year and this year and will do so again by this time next year.

It's grow up, not grow-up. Whose grammar/spelling

We ran out continuously all of Jan and Feb sm

as well as beginning of March.  When we didn't run out, we were in the national pool..which is about as bad as running out.  When I think of having work, I think of having my accounts and not 20 different accounts. 


They are and have been continuously working to fix the problem ..
All the employees are sent emails with updates and what they are doing to improve Dictaphones system, which has been at least once a week .. It is not like we are totally out of the dark here .. Transtech has been nothing but up front and honest with us on all issues ..
I LOVE DSG!! Been there almost 3 years. sm

The management staff is great, easy platform, pay is always on time, flexible schedule.


Yes they are still around - been there 3 years and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I also have 12 years in, and would love to get out.....
Would you mind emailing me and letting me in on where you went to.......it sounds like a much better, happier place. I can't see things at the Q getting any better....Thanks!
Been with MQ for 8 years and love it.

I have done ER for 2 1/2 years and LOVE it. sm
I work full time too, and we seldom run out of work. If we should, (and that is rare), almost everybody is cross trained in other work types. Some times it gets boring..how many ways can you pull out a splinter or diagnose chest pain? The hospital I work for is the largest hospital on the west side of Michigan. Every single ER doc uses the same basic template. Then we have canned text. We are also allowed to make as many Expanders and macros as we can use to achieve your production quota. We have our fair share of mushmouths and speed talkers, page turners and dead air. And of course, every summer the new crop of residents rotates through, along with the medical students, and other hangers-on. LOL. We are still paid by the hour, but that is going to be changing as we have started VR. The higher-ups just haven't figured out how to do it yet.

ER's are busy 24/7 and more so during holidays, so the work is always there. If you like a variety, and you will get it, you will like ED work. There will be days you just shake your head in amazement at some of the stuff you will see come through the ER.
I love it too. It will just be gone in a few years. It's just
nmmm
Been there 1-1/2 years - still love it! nm

I have been there for over 2 years and I love it...
great company to work for...You will not be disappointed :)
2 years at Medware - love it

Been there for 4 years and absolutely love it! sm

Good accounts, pay on time via direct deposit, higher pay than most, smaller company where people still know you by name and truly care.  As for the platform, you type in Bayscribe and send your reports in live via the web site.  Some accounts are converting to wav files, and some are still via C-phone and you have to pay your own long distance. 


Of course, as with all companies, one man's paradise is another man's hell, so I am sure there are those who will disagree with me.  If I can answer anymore questions, fee free to ask.


Good luck! 


I have worked there for about 2-1/2 years and love it. sm
I had a problem a few months ago waiting for an ID for a new account when I asked for a change. I am glad that they kept me on my original account during the wait because it took over 3 weeks. I was told that the hospitals can take a while but the wait was worth it as I am on the best radiology account I have ever been on. I have never run out of work and get paid both well and on time, so I am happy.

It is worth the wait.
Worked at MW for over 1.5 years and love it!
   Email me for more info.  :)
I love working for them.. have been with them for YEARS. xx

I have been there 3 years and only do rad. I was trained well and love my job. sm
The only complaint I have is that 2 accounts I was on went to Powerscribe. I was put on different accounts because I do not like to edit VR, so there was really not a problem. I get a lot of work and love my lead!
I agree...I have been with them for 2 years and love them...
They are the best, for me at least!!!
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
I love Transcend, have been there for years...
started with MDI. The offshore component is mostly on Escription, and has never affected my workload.

Transcend is a good company; they treat me well and I make great money - I could care less if they offshore. Then again, I also have a Samsung TV, a German car and many things made in China!
Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!

Great company.
Ihave nearly 20 years' experience and love doing

Ops.  All the other stuff is so boring to me.  Not many days go by that I don't have to look something up.  There is always a new piece of equipment, a new procedure, and when you get new doctors coming it they may been from a different part of the country and their terminology is different for the same procedure that the other doctors use.  It is a constantly learning process.   If you have good reference material and utilize the equipment manufacturer's websites that helps provided the dictation is clear enough that you can figure out which way to go with it.  If you can do just one speciality, like doing GI procedures or orthopedic procedures it will give you lots of practice and it will be easier to become familiar with the terminology.  If you can get samples of dictations that will help also.   I would definitely take a chance on doing Ops.  You might not be able to do them, but then you might surprise yourself.    You always have the word boards to help when you really get stuck.   I think it is a great opportunity for a newbie.


 


I LOVE working for TransTech. Been there almost three years and it's
the best MT job I have ever had. You will enjoy talking with Debbie, who does the hiring.
Softscript does. Been with them 2 years and love it. No flames please!

I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm

I left MQ for KS 2 years ago and love it. They have a lot of rad accounts. sm
I make great money even though I took a report pay cut because there is always work!
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for.  There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well.  They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance.  Am I getting rich off this?  No.  Am I paid reasonably well?  Yes.  Would I recommend Transtech?  Absolutely!
I am in training - 27 years experience. Love the platform! nm

I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
And you really should grow up!

OH GROW UP!!!

Why do you stay at Amphion if you hate it so much and have such dislike of the people?  Seriously.  Make room for those that had to leave and didn't want to.  You are sitting where they want to be and then complaining about it and trashing them all while calling yourself a quiet mt.  makes no sense to me.  these economic times are hard for everyone, and you cannot keep blaming Amphion for needing to reduce staff, too.
Oh, grow up!!!
It's everybody elses' fault, right, that you are making what you made 20 years ago?  Face the fact that clients will not pay big bucks for MT services anymore.  Those days are over!!!
Grow up?

Oh so just because clients aren't paying what they used to that means I have to give even more of my money to a subcontractor who is providing a service to me by hiring for other companies.  Quit drinking the Kool-Aid already and catch a clue.  You obviously work for TTD and love being taken advantage of - good grief!  Start your own forum called MTs without a clue and I am sure you and your Kool-Aid friends will have a great time.

Saint Gourdpainter. Give it a rest.

Guess what. Most of us already HAVE gone through what the MDI folks are going through now. We just didn't take a week and a billion posts to commiserate about it.

Seriously, it's not like Huricane Katrina or 9/11 or something.

It's BUSINESS. **** happenes.

Deal!

And I second the motion to move the MDI/Transcend soap operate OFF the company board.

ENOUGH ALREADY!
Oh Grow UP!
Smoking cigars and drinking brandy?  What did you think you signed up for anyway?  Getting paid lots and lots of money to sit at home?  You get what you put into this.  If you want to get paid hourly, go work in-house.  If you want to get paid by production and have the freedom to work at home, don't expect to make big bucks, expect to make about what you would make working at a retail store.  Sadly, this is just a normal to low paying job now.  Take it or leave it, but give us all a break with the drama.    
THINK AND GROW RICH
One size does not fit all. Be true to yourself and your abilities.
You are kidding yourself. OSi is not growing. You cannot grow without
OSi wants to be big, but that will never happen because they will not listen to anyone about giving the MTs more instead of putting all the profits into their own pockets. All you get at OSi is your base line rate...that is it. Nothing extra for nights, weekends, holidays. They make you pay for the foot pedal and even the cheap spell checker.

You pretty much said it all when you said that OSi is choosy about who they invite to their parties!! How awful! When most companies have company parties, all employees are invited. That is pretty sad and pretty much says it all about OSi.
why don't you grow up and get a life you troll

Quit whining and grow up
So, you were fired from Spheris. Probably because you couldn't cut it. You get 90 days to make your production, and if after 90 days, you aren't producing, they will cut you loose. Why should they keep people like you, who are obviously bitter, and carrying a huge chip on your shoulder, when there are other so-called newbies, with good work ethics who want to work hard, and are willing to put in the time required to get the production required. 3 months is a long time to get used to an account, and build your production. There must have been more to your firing than what you state in your post.

Hopefully you will find employment elsewhere. But, I would urge you to change your attitude, lose the chip on your shoulder and grow up. Don't blame everything and everyone around you. Take a look at your production, skills, etc. and then ask yourself again, why Spheris let you go.
My guess - they'll grow until their #1 (sm)
and with growth comes growing pains.  Yes indeed, check your facts.

I think sooner or later MTs will be forced to grow
backbones, because as the pay for MT work edges ever closer to 0 cpl, there comes a point where the MT will leave altogether or turn around and start swinging both fists. For quite a long time now, I've believed that the truth is, MTSO's don't really WANT the more costly American MTs. The sooner they can drive us all out, the sooner they'll have the excuse they've been waiting for in order to be able to just pack up and take it all overseas. Companies who actually want to RETAIN good employees just don't treat them the way MTs are treated.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!
