I think you will be very happy at Transcend...

In Reply to: Let me get this straight. Your employer - sm
I know it's hard to escape the negativity on the boards, but know that half of what you read is not true. I have been with MDI-FL and now with Transcend for over ten years. The core values have remained the same. I love my work and I am treated with respect. I think of my team more like a family. We were all scared when MDI sold to Transcend, but it turned out to be the best thing. I am not sure what would have happened to us with this downturn in the economy; I feel so much more secure being part of a larger company that has the financial backing to withstand the storm. I have never worried about my paycheck, unlike many other people on this board where they sometimes do not get paid or their check bounces.
I have tried not to post when I have seen all the negativity, as sometimes it just breeds more negativity - but really, give the MDI/Transcend merger a chance.. you may find that they are not like other companites and they really do mean what they say. I can speak for my experiences and the experiences of the long term employees that I know. E-mail me if you wish. Keep your chins up, it will be fine.

I'm very happy with Transcend.
I've worked for Transcend for eight months as an IC. The pay is always on time or a day ahead. My supervisor is wonderful and IT is superb. If you have a problem or question, no matter what time of day or night, there is always someone there to help and quickly find a resolution. Plus, they believe in promoting from within. They are very flexible if you have a problem and cannot work that day. I have found my home! One more thing - the pay is above what other companies are offering.
Happy at Transcend
Everything has stayed the same for me. All my accounts, team leads, etc. Nothing but happiness on my end.
Happy at Transcend!
I hate to say this for lack of spoiling a good thing, but I am really, really happy at Transcend. They have been great so far. A little disorganized at times, but I can say I am 99% happy with this place. Does anyone else have good things to say about this company, I would love to hear them!!!
Hope everyone finds happiness in the land of MT.
Transcend was not for me. I wasn't happy (sm)
with the pay system. For VR editing, they deducted 29 or 30% off pay, and that made a BIG difference in pay. I felt like they were skimming off the top. Lines counted should be lined paid IMO. To each his own, it was not for me.
I was happy until they sold out to Transcend. It seems to me that since sm
then, the communication has gone downhill and the managers and owners don't seem to care as much. It is more of corporate atmosphere instead of personal. If I wanted to work for a big corporation like Transcend, I would have. I chose MDI based on the fact that the owners are transcriptionists and seemed to care about the industry. I guess the money spoke louder.
I am extremely happy with Transcend and I welcome all the MDI
MTs to the group. Regardless of what you hear on this board, it is one of the good ones out there. Not perfect, but still very, very good.
The team really cares, and I have had issues and I can bring them right to the top if I need to.
E-mail me if you need more info. I do not like to come on this board, as sometimes it can be a downer. No offense to anyone.
Small town Missouri girl very happy at Transcend
I’ve been sitting here in my little corner of Missouri wondering if I could diplomatically address any of your concerns. At first I was compelled to simply set the record straight and now I’m just compelled to show my support not only for my country…but also my company! That’s right…bold statement, huh?! No, I’m not a SUIT, (and BTW neither is Stephanie Campbell) but a humble MLS who was promoted to a TL (Team Leader) and now again to a QAS within MY company. You see, Transcend loves their MLS and treats them with the respect and the recognition they deserve. If you want to excel in this industry, Transcend is the only company you should be looking at. Oh, and by the way, I had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta and meet some of the SUITS of the company and they’re just like me…patriotic, family-loving, hard-working everyday human beings. AND they care about my opinion; what works for my region and why other things don’t!
I worked for a large hospital facility in Nebraska before coming to Transcend and loved it dearly, but honestly technology-wise I didn’t realize how far behind they were. Since being with Transcend I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how they continually upgrade, enhance and automate processes for their MLS; always trying to make things easier and time efficient for their employees. Who wouldn’t want to be on the leading edge of technology in our industry?
As for sending work overseas…. Transcend does in fact outsource on occasion a very small percentage of it’s volume, but only when there are gaps in turnaround time coverage and ONLY when the customer approves it. If there are American MLS willing and able to take some of that work from overseas workers, we are more than happy to provide it to them. That’s why we need your help to keep this company going strong as an AMERICAN company. Every single day I’m thankful for my job with Transcend and have grown to love the tight-knit family I work with. Each day we talk and keep each other inspired! We cover for each other in time of crisis and give each other a pep talk when we need it. I can confidently say that my life has changed for the better since I came on board. I really do love it. Transcend is where it’s at if you want to work at home.
Me in my little corner of Missouri will get off my soap box and let you ponder this: Perhaps if a small town girl from Missouri can make a CAREER with Transcend maybe you can too?! The possibilities with Transcend are out there, attainable….you just have to reach for it!
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too.
Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

MDI Maryland HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
THIS IS NOT MDI IN NY OR FL!!
www.mditrans.com.
I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

We heard Transcend is buying Keystrokes next. I'm not working for Transcend. No Way !

If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
It is not Transcend. Transcend has not had control of
the accounts long enough to make any changes to anything. Maybe your account just slowed down like a lot of others did over the last few weeks. Everything will run status quo for a few months before any major changes are implemented. And give Transcend a chance. It is a good place to work and you will finally have some benefits that you will enjoy.
happy here
Positive experience for me. Two years later, still happy, still busy, still meeting 300+ lines an hour. To each his own... guess it's jump on Diskriter is crap band wagon again day. On any given day, one company or another is being ripped a new one on these sites.
Probably one of the best. I'm happy there.

Happy with QT and FCM!!! nm

Happy there......
I am very, very happy at OSi. I left a company where I had been a IC for over 8 years and went with OSi as an employee. I have had no regrets. I think some people say QA is snooty because they expect a job to be done right and often times it isn't. We have access to all reports typed on our accounts and to tell you the truth, it's amazing how some of these MTs got hired.
I love the platform, pay is always on time and often incentives create huge paychecks. They are very professional and very flexible. No cons as far as I can see.
That's cause we are happy!!
Why do you want to bash anyway,let's talk about good things
I am happy too
There are some that still like Transcend. i understand that others have valid complaints, but not everyone there experiences the same issues. Some of us are really telling the truth when they say they are happy.
Happy for you.
I hope you like your new job. I have been contemplating applying with them myself but worried about their flexibility.
YAY!!! I am so happy for you. Out of (sm)
all the places I have worked, they really are the best!! For many,many reasons!!
Yep and happy about it!
Yes I make 1 cent less than what FOCUS would hire me on for at their top pay. In exchange I get to work with an amazing company who treats me with respect, knows who i am, who my children are, listens to what i have to say and so much more. It is worth the cent to work for a great company.
Happy to Mad?
so have you changed your attitude about MQ? this is exactly what MQ doesn't want to happen -- MTs being able to find out what is going on in different offices, wage-wise and otherwise.
ARE YOU HAPPY THERE?
Can you be hired on as SE?
Happy.....
Sweetheart, you have no business releasing your venom on me. You are one with the mental health issue. If you were indeed a "Happy OSI'er," you would not care what anyone else thinks or says about that company.
The fact that you can get enraged so easily when other people express opinions contrary to your own tells me that you are indeed in need of a little Zoloft, Xanax, or maybe just a good dose of reality. The rest of the world doesn't have to agree with you about anything. It does not make us dysfunctional, depressed, unhappy, or stupid. It just means we see things differently.
You're in for a rough ride in life if you are get so upset about others' opinions.
very happy
Yes Cbay is still around and going strong, more work than I can handle lately. They do hire US MTs. Everyone knocks them for sending work overseas but what company doesn't these days? I am very happy with them and pay is on time every 2 weeks! They pay my bills so I really wouldn't care if they sent the work to the moon!
Is anyone happy...
Please leave some info on this board if you are happy working for OSI. There is a lot of negative, but it may be some sour grapes too. I would like to hear some good input about the company. Thanks.
With OSi for about 3 yrs. Very happy now with
It is great working with true medical transcription professionals.
OSi is good for a laugh, though!
I am very happy with OSi
You will read a lot of negativity, but this is something that you will have to decide on your own. I am very happy there. Sure, they aren't perfect, but no company is. Let me know if you want more information.
I'm happy as can be -
.
Happy because . . .
I have 2 good accounts with steady work, love BayScribe, like my team leader, and good pay that is always on time. I do agree with the above poster who says she feels they may be overhiring on some accounts to keep them in TAT. However, I haven't seen overstaffing on my accounts (yet)!
I'm happy!
Don't work on MANTIS but this company is really, really growing by leaps and bounds - even made the Fortune 500 top growing companies in the US. Great people (really nice) and a refreshing change from the Big Guys. Pay is generally $1.10 regular and $2.25 special - really nice accounts too. Check 'em out!
She's not alone. I'm happy there, too. sm
I'm FT and don't utiize the benefits, but I'm very happy at Spheris. My platform is easy to use, my supervisor is awesome, and the other girls are great. I don't have a hard time getting time off, and they pretty much leave me alone to do my work, but if I need help, they have terrific people at the help desk. Most Spheris employees are very happy here, but we just don't spend a lot of time of message boards.
Happy again
Wake up MTs. Change is good. Why is everyone so afraid to go somewhere else? If you are not happy, you can only make yourself happy. LEAVE. Do not wait for these nationals or other MT companies to make you happy. They won't. You must do it yourself. I'm happy after the change I made. You can be too. Just go for it. What do you have to lose?
Also very happy with MDI-MD nm
s
Happy as an IC
x
Very happy with QT! nm
xx
me too, happy
x
Another happy DSG MT!
So far, no complaints!
Happy at QT also
z
Happy with them
I go an 11 cent per 65-character line with spaces included job from them. Very flexible. The hiring process was a lot easier than going it on your own. I was VERY happy with my experience there...this was 2-1/2 years ago. Maybe things have changed. They get a one-time fee, not a portion of your line rate.
There are more than two happy at MDI but
Just because two of you have work does not discount that the rest of us do not. I struggled to get 1000 lines yesterday, had to keep dialing back in scrounging for work. And as others have said here, we have talked to Dorothy and MDI is aware that there is not enough work to go around. Maybe you two have an account that they did not put too many MTs on. Apparently on mine they did. I have been on this account for many years and I have always had work until the last several months.
I'm also happy there
Can't compare it to other companies as it is my first MT job, but I have been there almost a year and am quite happy. No desire to move anywhere else. Good training, and they attempt to communicate with their employees. Steady workload, benefits and pay reasonable.
I'm happy at JLG
Pay on time, tho by snail mail as they do not offer direct deposit. Account I am on is great with a low volume of ESLs. Great QA with samples provided, if requested. Flexibility, easy enough platform, not a lot of pt. demos.... I just LOVE it here.
happy, happy, joy, joy
Does anyone else find the endless e-mails showing how much work there is but to *have a geat day* annoying? How can I have a great day when I am struggling to meet my line counts because the work is so sparse?? Plus, e-mails to supervisors go unanswered yet again.
I am very happy with my job.
My paycheck, in my opinion, compensates me very well for my experience and my effort. I work hard, produce a quality job and have good production. My consistent reliability with my employer has paid off. I currently work for MQ.
Even the employer I recently left last summer was a great experience for me - that was Spheris.
I have had employers in the past that I was unhappy with but it mainly boiled down to some type of communication breakdown so that my expectations were not met.
I'm not the kind of person who bad mouths or exploits an employer, period. If I have problems with them, I handle that with the employer. I'm not interested in slamming anyone or any company. There are too many choices out there for any and all of us and I find it petty and small-minded to act in that manner.
I'm very happy with my job. sm
I work for Transhealth. It has the most of what I need in a job.
Happy Too
I'm very happy with my job, there are some things that could be better, but I really like where I am at at this point. I work as an IC for a very small local company and only transcribe for 8 doctors on a Nephrology account. As long as I get my work done that comes in for the day (24 hour TAT) I can make my own hours which works out great having a 2-1/2 year old at home.
yup, happy too and doing MT 31 yr
and also currently working for MQ. I feel very blessed to do something i enjoy, that pays decent and especially to be able to work from home!! I'd venture to guess there are many more happy than unhappy MTs, but they just don't bother to post often -- too busy working and enjoying life to be negative!
