I know I certainly wouldn't want to make the mistake of ever applying for a job there!

Good for you. I hope you share your positive feelings
towards that company on this board then. People are only stating their opinions. If they have a bad one, that's their choice. All you can do is share your opinion that's good. However, if you don't share that opinion and simply jump on to tell everyone else to stop complaining, you're really not helping things.
I will. Hope you are right. Not sure who to complain to, but I'll figure it out.

Hi Happy, Thanks for responding, I'll be starting with them soon I hope
From what I can tell, it does seem to be a great place. Where you assigned an account or did you have some say on it? Can you share what other platforms you used? Did you use the Q platform before? How long did it take you to get up and running?
Thanks, I'll give it a shot! Hope they are hiring PT. nm

The company should pay its share..
now THAT'S a benefit.
Could you share the name of the company
either on the board or privately? I only ask because I'm currently looking for some fill-in work and have been doing some tests. They're involved and take time, as you know, and if that's all they're offering after all that, I'm wondering what company because I want to steer clear. I have a test sitting waiting for me to do it, but maybe it's the same company?
So why not share the company name . . .
and save the rest of us from the potential agony.
I hope my company flies under the radar. This is horrible what happens to one company sm
after another on this board.  The owners must have very thick skin.  First TT, then Amphion, now Keystrokes.  No one is safe.  I hope everyone takes all they read with a grain of salt.  I have met a few of the owners of the some of the bigger services, and they are all very nice, including those that own Webmedx, Keystrokes, Execuscribe, Medware, MDI and Transcend.  I hate to think how they feel when they read things on here, even though they all say they don't read the posts here and advise against it.  I don't know how they don't read them; I look just to make sure that no one mentions mine.
Would you care to share the name of the company?
and any other specifics like line rate range?
How can I check this, and can you share the name of the 2nd company? nm

Care to share the name of the company?

Is it a National?  How many MTs (educated guess is fine).  You can E-Mail me if you prefer.  I am just curious to find out how many companies have MT friendly QA staff.  Thanks. 


I share your grief over the same company sm
I finally decided that since I need the insurance at this point I will keep a part time job. I have been spending so much of my day waiting on work or stuck in something that doesn't make any money. I think they hire so that everyone can only have their minimum and nothing more. The push for speech is really getting to me, especially since the program is not very good. I keep hearing how I can double my income if I will just move to speech. Hardly. Then again, I am the kind of MT who sets up the document, but once in it I can put my foot on the pedal and rarely take it off. I can type much faster than I can edit a voice document. Add to this that the voice stuff is not actually being edited at all and it looks like what my pup leaves in the yard.

I found a company whose philosophy is that VR is a joke and they won't be going there. I start this week and if I prefer it, I'll find my own insurance and go to work for them full time. Seems if you work full time you don't have to work weekends there.

I was one of those who praised this company and I apologize to all of you. I wish I had kept my mouth shut.
Would you care to share the name of the company
What a total rip-off.
Please share the name of the company so others may investigate this opportunity!

Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
 
Can you share what small company you found (sm)
that offers benefits (even if it is more costly).  It seems that all I have talked to don't offer any and I can't afford to go without health insurance.  Thank you so much in advance.
I just went broke because of a company and would love to share their name

We take a job expecting some semblance of constancy. We are not teenagers living at home.

And I have yet to meet an MT who does this for free, as a hobby, 40 hours a week.

Here we are, in the U.S., where insurance is expensive, the economy is mutilated and dirt cheap labor is just across the deep blue sea.

Some whine more than others but this Gourdpainter, I have been reading her for a long time, and from the tone of her posts, she is not a (an?) habitual complainer. She is helpful and considerate in her posts to new MTs and others who have a question.

United we Stand, Divided we Fall.

Just like the coal miners back in Pennsylvania, the company will let you eat coal dust all day long to save themselves the cost of ventilation, and then fight to not have to pay for the medical costs of an aging coal miner with black lung and ashen colored skin. No one made him go down there, I know, I know, but a man has got to feed his family. Work is work, you take what your skills will get you.

Fair enough - Some huge corporation is going to sue someone over a thread on the internet. This is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Have you read message forums elsewhere on here? There are disparaging remarks made about everything under the sun.

Word of mouth travels far and wide, and so does the truth.

So give us a break and let us make enough money to live a respectable life in this job which we do with steadfast dedication if we make it over 3 years.

Kindness reaps kindness. Consideration for the MT - For instance:

Supervisor: Gee Susie, work load is light these days, and your paycheck reflects that. How are you doing? Are you able to make ends meet? How can we remedy this in house or outside of this company so you can have an income you can rely on?

MT: Thank you. I would appreciate that very much. I am down to a few nickels after I pay the bills and am beside myself with worry. The anxiety sends me to MTstars where I vent in hopes of finding others who understand the DREAD AND FEAR I AM EXPERIENCING because I WORK ALONE ALL DAY LONG,without my comrades to take breaks with or have lunch with WHERE THIS TYPE OF VERBAL EXCHANGE WOULD ORDINARILY TAKE PLACE.


I love the company I work for and I just wanted to share
that with you all so that if you are not happy, realize there is hope out there.  I worked for Healthscribe/Spheris for over 2 years until I found this position.  I am a SE for MDI out of Maryland and I make 10 cents per 65 character line including spaces.  This is a great smaller company that does not offshore.  I am left alone to do my work but I have somebody there if I need any questions answered, etc.  QA is wonderful too.  They didn't dump me into an account full time, they let you ease into your account over a 2 week period doing 5 reports a day so you can work your other job until you are taken off of QA.  I was off QA in a week.  My account is great, the platform is great (Bayscribe), production Expander is user friendly.  For all you unhappy MTs, there is hope out there. 
Any OSI radiology MTs care to share your experience with this company?
.
MedScribe, anyone work for this company that is willing to share your opinion???
I just tested and sent my resume, but I'm in the process of looking at several companies and trying to sort things out.  ty

Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
Of course company doesnt feel compelled to share this info. Is there anyone there who would be
;P
one would also hope that the company --sm
or manager, or coordinator, or whatever she calls herself, would have the guts enough to confront the person, tell her what her problem was personally, and either try to fix it or tell her she was no longer needed. You don't just not give someone work and hope they will go away. That is not ethical, IC work or not!
I hope every company that does this to their

No, my company's not in Florida..but I hope you get

No, but I sure hope the company's initials are AT!!!

Glad you love your company. Hope you stay there - LOL

okay, I'll ask - what company are we talking about?

You deserve major kuddos! Hope that company (and their editors) appreciate you!
I know I would as an editor!!!
from now on i'll go straight to the company website. sm
i didn't realize a simple question would stir up some negative comments.  i find the comment about the IQ very insulting and unnecessary. 
A great company You'll be lucky to get in though,
Work is slow right now like it always is near the holidays. They have extremely affordable benefits, and once you are established there, they seem like they are willing to work with you if you need to change your schedule.
My (different) company gave us that "you'll
2 years later, I'm less productive, not more, on that godawful, 'new-and-improved' platform.
It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
have been asked about several times the last month or so.  There has been nothing good said about them. 
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. 
First rule, never work for a company who says "I'll pay you when I get paid." sm
This is unacceptable. Any company with a decent client base gets paid at least net 30 days. I previously operated a small service and paid my subcontractors twice monthly despite being paid net 30 days by my physician groups. Yes, it was a hardship for me, but I brought those who worked hard to help me maintain my service first. Any company who pays their workers when they get paid, does not deserve to employ others. Plain and simple there is no excuse for this. Please, please find a company who values your work instead of using you.
Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company. 
The Indians didn't get a raise, but I'll bet the CEO of the phone company did!! nm

When a company tells you you'll tripple your line count
x
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information.  This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.  
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially. 
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
hateful owner, hateful managers, awful company. You'll hate it. period

Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Would anyone like to share their
on what to use for the different variations of words. TIA
Could you share what the pay is like and do you know..
how much experience is required.. I have 5 years of acute care with 1 year of that in radiology, but I feel very confident about my radiology..
and say I have done my share. Actually I have done more than
my share.  In greater than 5 years I have yet to call in sick, have worked sick many times, have not taken off without at least a months notice.  I earned a vacation and I don't feel guilty about taking one.  I have worked extra every time it was needed, I have taken a day off when asked to because there was no work.   I get tired of hearing we have no choice.  There are/were other options available.   I noticed from the e-mail addy listed in the e-mail that several people are no longer there (that had been there for years) and there are a bunch of new people. 
At MDI-MD, can someone share with me how .. sm
many LPH you can average?  I realize there are a lot of variables but it would help me to have some feedback if anyone would care to share what has been their experience.  Thanks. 
Would you share?
Would you mind sharing the names of the companies you are working for, as I am looking for part time work , as my current part-time job is slowing down with new technology.  Thanks.
