I only lasted a week with OSi

I think they were totally unprofessional and very disorganized and there was not enough work. I quit almost 2 months ago and they called me this Saturday to see if I could put in some overtime.... nobody seems to talk to anybody else and communicate things. I went back to my old company and am much happier.

Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm

I lasted only a few months...
From my personal experience -The clients are horrible, ESLs are very high, no work, lack of respect and they never can seem to get your paycheck correct. Just knowing that they are up for sale was enough for me to look elsewhere.
i lasted 1 month...c msg
pay was pretty good at 8.5 cpl, and they do have some nice staff members.
BUT, horrible platform, heavy ESL doctors, and terrible english-speaking doctors. it was obvious that each QA member had their own preference, even going agaist global emails sent to the mts. a couple of us didnt like our trainer (it looked like we were talking about the same person who is supposedly gone now.
you'll find a lot on the archives.
I think I lasted a month.
nm
that's why i lasted only 1 month

2 esl, 1 neuro, all others were Taken. lasted a day.

ex-WMX - I lasted there a year also
things were great, then after a year it all went to heck - maybe they do not want long-term MTs - they do that where my partner works, they even brag about it - just keep a huge turn-around of employees so they pay less benefits.
I do know there are people that have been there for years but perhaps you would have to be in from the beginning.
my experience was that they gave preference to MQ hires also...
Would never have lasted 8 weeks
in these conditions. Have you asked management if the problems can be fixed? like asap?
yup, das y i quit--only lasted a month with them and i could see where it was going
j
im not too far, i lasted one month (suprising)

I lasted one job on their ortho account
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.
It lasted a little longer for me, but I'm ready to move on. -sm
Nice people. You really do feel appreciated for a while, but then I don't know if they think the average lifespan of an MT with any company is that short-lived or what, but they started giving my primary away to others, secondaries I would never get the same dictator twice unless it was a work type I hate and told them I hate, then I'd get them regularly. I don't get it. Feedback and evaluations are not in their vocabulary after you're out of probation. I think it's time to move on.
I hated Amphion, lasted 3 weeks
nm
They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three
nm
Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
My "lull" lasted about an hour. Now it's back on too much work!! (LOL)
nm
I lasted 2 weeks with the account and sound quality. sm.
It was a verbatim account and the sound quality was extremely bad. Nothing but a headache that I just wasn't willing to put up with for a paycheck when I had other options. With no other options I may consider staying longer, but no way any other time.
It has been a couple of years but I tried to work there and lasted 1 day and so did a friend of mine
The ESL were AWFUL.. It was all I got and I could not understand anything they said. They were out of California so had a real mixed bag of ESL but none of it was doable. Things could have changed, who knows.
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
MQ--week end pay
i think the NE is the only region that does not pay for week end and holiday pay. the Ohio office offers not only week end and holiday pay, but also shift differntial pay--and this is all without asking plus the MT's that were transferred there are getting all the lines they need and to top that off, they are in ONE acct, not like 4 or 5 in the NE
that is why it is a great office to be working with--
First week on DQS.. Please tell me it gets better. (sm)
It was only for half the payperiod, but WOW. When I finally did a count to see how much I had done it was a real surprise. I know I still have to look up instructions now and again and need to keep building my shortcuts, hope to heck I don't go bankrupt before I get it down to an art.
How long did it take the rest of you to get up to speed?
About a week or two
I actually cannot remember but I think it was a week or two.....
This is the end of my first week
All kinds of problems, very discouraged, tech problems.
last week....
they stopped taking aps/resumes because they had a lot (mtjobs). now they are hiring again. i went ahead and applied but makes me wonder what they are really looking for because of the notice they had about not taking anymore, and then all of a sudden they are.
But they say they pay once a week.
Dont they?
More week this week than last week, which
suprised me. I thought maybe some practices would have scaled back for Spring Break/Easter, but if they have, several MTs must have taken off too as we are nearly out of TAT and I have been doing an extra 600 lines a day.
MT week
MT week is May 14-20
mt week
you can see what the MTs at Heartland got for Transcriptionist week!!
Like they would have done anything for us for MT week anyway. lol nm

MT Week
WebMedX sent candyjar filled with chocolate kisses and midge tootie rolls. Quite cute!
What did you do for your MTs for MT Week?
?
Me 2 - per week,not every 2
nm
800$ week??
Man, tell me which company I can make that much and I'll apply ASAP!!!! YEA RIGHT!!!!!
About a week
The offer letter was faxed the next day, as were initial startup paperwork. The foot pedal arrived in 2 days, I think. The software was installed by their IT department the next day. All in all, I think it only took about a week.
Welcome to Keystrokes!
About a week
I received the job offer, had to fill out/sign and fax back all of the paperwork that they e-mailed me, and then I had to wait for them to ship me my equipment. The whole process took a week, and then I started.
I'm going into my 3rd week
I like it.. some things are not the most convenient, but every company has quirks. I am not ready to go postal, so that is a good thing. :) We will wait and see what the paycheck looks like.
About a week but it took about
two weeks to get equipment, ID from hospital and then another week before training began. But everyone has different experiences. Good luck!
Also a week here
They contacted me the same day that I sent in my resume, and it took a week from that day to start.
It's the 3rd week in May
xx
MT week
MDI/Transcend sent us all coffee mugs, thank you cards and a calendar, not to mention online Happy MT week
3 DAY WEEK
I bet if you offered to work Friday, Sat and Sun or Sat, Sun and Monday for 12 hour shifts, someone would allow you to work 3 days a week. Don't know of any offering 3 days say like Tues, Wed, Thurs or anything.
Took me about a week
I knew the platform and studied the specs before I began, so I was all set to go when I started. Familiarizing the different docs and places seemed to be my problem.
Don't you mean 12-hr 3 day per week? sm
I think those are higher paid positions for weekend coverage.
