I have plenty and then some

Posted By: ETP MT on 2005-12-15
In Reply to: Anyone else working for eTransPlus running out of work on a daily basis? - mt

Hello

I have plenty with them. I work on a radiology acount though so it is not quite the same. I have a secondary acute care account, but never seem to get around to typing on it as I have so much to do on the radiology one. Most of the time the updates I get for the accounts I see fluctuate but mostly have work. I know each account is different. Etranplus has its bad points like any other company. I have certain things I do not like. I have also had way worse experiences. I have found it to be a good fit for me for 15 months now and finally got to do my first love of radiology. I wish you the best. If you need to get a secondary account and then you can decide to keep two or leave one or the other when things stabilize for you. Good luck!

They had MTs - plenty of them
The problem was - trying to keep them.  As above, checks constantly bounced.  At payday time - all the managers would disappear, as would the owners.  When this happens every other payperiod  - I think the company has financial issues.  This is not to mention,  he was outsourcing this account, about 60% of the work, half of this was sent through to the hospital as he did not want to pay editors to edit the crap.  Again, several issues.  They make everything sound great - but once you start, reality sets in and quick.  
There are plenty....
...but they may require that you know how to spell the word 'editing' correctly.
yes plenty what ya need
one part timer
Same here, plenty now.
Did my time card while waiting for the work to come in. Now I am buried. Feast or famine.
I'm doing ME and there seems to be plenty.
Fairly new and not sure how the MT or QA side of things might be.
you seem to have plenty
of time to post, must be due to all the cash you have socked away.
Plenty

Plenty here too
A bit slow a few weeks ago, but not too bad, didn't effect my pay, just adjusted my schedule a little bit. Now have more than enough work. If you have no work for months at a time, why would you stay?

OSI has plenty of work to go around...
...but since hurricane katrina hit, things have been kind of slow. I think they have a big account in Louisiana that got hit pretty hard and it shut down. Since then they have had to move MTs from that account to other accounts. I've been running a little low on work too (just every now and then), but I like OSi so I'm willing to stick it out. I'm sure everything will get back up to speed soon.
If you have plenty of experience and don't need...
any help, they are fine.  They don't have any QA.  You are pretty much on your own.  Do your work on time, and do it well, and you'll be okay. 
Yep, I have plenty of backups, too. nm

Plenty of work...sm
I don't generally post on companies I worked for because in the long run it doesn't seem like opinions matter, for some it may suck and for others it is great.  I worked for them for a couple of years and had to leave due to needing insurance.  There was always plenty of work and if you are a hard worker, you'll make money, get paid on time, etc.  The accounts were incredibly stable and extremely easy compared to acute care. 
P.S.. you have plenty of work?

Plenty of work at MDI

Hi Freebird,  I was just passing through and saw your note.


I have been with MDI-MD for a little over a year now.  The only slowdown I have ever experienced was around Christmas and New Year's.  Right now there is plenty of work on all of the hospitals that I cover. 


I have been in this business for a long time, am a former MQer, and I just love this company.  The work is not for newbie's, but if you are an experienced acute care Transcriptionist you will have no problems.  The staff at MDI-MD are professional and gracious, the platform is the best I have ever worked with, the pay is great and always on time, and the flexibility is wonderful. I wish you luck!


I do all Ops and there is plenty work available for anyone who wants just
Ops and is good at them.  
There are plenty of jobs out there.

I have plenty of work.
Have you tried asking for another account?
Plenty of work

Good line rate with incentive pay and shift differential.  Good benefits.  Sick time, PTO, plenty of work.  I'm happy.  Normals are right in their platform, which is handy and helps production. 


Anyone else care to chime in?


I have plenty of work

there's plenty of work to go around....
TRS does manage a group in Guyana, but they make up a TINY portion of the total reports. NO jobs have been lost in the US to employees in other countries either. There is plenty of work available and the recruiter works constantly to find qualified MT's here in the US! Why is going offshore a bad thing if it doesn't affect the workload or TRS employees in the US??
Is there plenty of work. nm
 
Yes, there are still plenty of jobs. sm
But it's not that simple. In the employment market today, people look to keep increasing their income. We have to. My utilities have tripled over the last 10 years. By contrast, my income has gone from $42K yearly to $24K. Now, I'm not conceited enough to think I'm worth $42K part time; I told my manager they were paying too much, but he wouldn't listen and we lost our hospital department.

One of the biggest reasons for this decrease in pay is offshoring. The average MT works for about 8 cents per line. I made 6 cents 15 years ago. But they have cut so many items out of the counting software that we are having to work harder all the time just to keep the same wage.

Send it offshore for 2 cents a line, get someone to edit it for 4 cents a line, and that is just 6 cents a line, what I made 15 years ago. I can't work for that now. I made 1600 lines in 6 hours then. Platforms are so much more complicated and all extras have been cut; I can just make 1200 in the same time now.

I read an article a while back that followed an Indian MT. She made about $550 a month, that was a year's wages there. My utilities (without cable or any extras) run $600 a month.

We are cutting our own throats by making offshoring work. Many of us will not edit offshore. It is against our beliefs. It is also damaging the future of our profession.

And don't tell me that offshore works in other areas. If my clothes fall apart, I replace them. If my medical care falls apart, they'll have to replace me!
See page 2 hun plenty there
baboing!
Plenty of work
No, there is plenty of work. But it looks as though workflow is caught up and under good control.  There is no mandatory OT, it is just optional now. 
Plenty of work here.
If my primary is out, I have plenty of secondary accounts. They are always looking for people who are willing to have multiple secondaries. It's been my experience that the more accounts you know how to do, the less you run out of work. That's why I don't mind learning new accounts or work types.
Which of these have plenty of work RIGHT NOW?
Email me if you prefer.
Plenty of work here
One huge account.  I make myself available for backup for anything and nope, I am not listing my company name
Oh well there is always plenty of work
/
SURE, THERE IS PLENTY OF WORK
On the accounts that are always backed up because they are extremely crappy accounts. You can have all of that you want, BUT, I promise you - it brings your lines per hour average WAY DOWN and not worth it. The account specifics are horrendous!!!!

As the earlier poster stated - No work at WebMedx because they OVERHIRED!!!!
I have had plenty of work...
and I love working for MDI.  Its a great company!
PLENTY OF WORK?

WOW!!!  I want to know which server you are working on because those of us that work on the Chattanooga and Virginia server are just starving for work!!!  Please tell us more!!!


By the way, it is DISKRITER....and how do you know how much work they have?


 


I'm sure there are plenty of details
and things going on that you were not privvy too, but sorry you had a bad experience.  If I could ask one favor, it would be that you not bash the company while we are trying to fill positions - especially since your time there was quite a while back and not all the same players are involved.
Plenty of work right now
I have personally never run out of work for more than a few minutes, but have only been with them for 4 months.
there ought to be plenty in the archives
most comments have not been good.
I have had plenty of work..........

MQ seems to have plenty of work
but it means bouncing around EVERYWHERE. Average shift, for me is usually at least 9 or 10 different places. Have only expperienced no work on Holidays. Is everyones experience the same with being bounced around all over? Does any one have a so-called primary?
If you are looking for clinic, there is plenty of it. nm

Plenty of work!
Hi There -

If you're running out of work, please contact your ROM and TL. While there may be low volume on your account due to the seasonal drops (summer is typically slow for my clinic accounts, for example), there is work available on other accounts and other regions. That's one of the beauties of Transcend: our size. Each of us is committed to keeping our team working.

The other option is flexing your schedule - if you're flexible and can work when the volume is high (evenings and weekends), you are more likely to have work from your primary.

Please - if you have any problems - contact your ROM! Give us the chance to help you!

Plenty of work for me at TT
I also very rarely run out of work.  I think it depends on account and whether you do SR (or AVR ... whatever you want to call it).  I do SR, work day shift and have plenty of work.
There are plenty of MTs in this country
who WANT to work - and guess what? The work is not as plentiful as it was because of people like you who choose to support the economy of a foreign country rather than your own country. So, when all the US jobs are gone as you stated, it will be YOU who helped it happen, not us.
plenty of work
I work for them...since November 07.  I have never run out of work and they are starting new accounts, 3 or 4.  There is plenty of work...all the time. Pick your days, no schedule but 24 hr TAT
Not at JLG. I am getting plenty of work

I must work for a busy account.  I have been there for 3 months and most of the time we are slammed.
I disagree and plenty of others do too. nm

Plenty of work
I have been there over 2 years and have yet to run out of work.  Lots of new accounts being added as well.  New platform too, not just the old Ext Text.  Pay is on time, though may vary by a couple of days, they do have a choice of benefits.  Plenty of backup accounts.  You must do ESLs because a lot of the hospitals are the huge ones and of course have a lot of them.
