I recommend eTransPlus - nm

Anyone work for ETransPlus
or have worked for them? Any info? Thanks.
I also work for eTransPlus and have for...
over a year. I do not have any problems and actually like it very much there. They have always bent over backwards to accommodate me in every aspect of my employment with them. All the personnel there have been extremely nice and easy to get along with in my opinion.
I do not know what the OP means by DVI, but I have no problem with the system they use and using their Expander program was no problem for me - they just copied my existing files into theirs and it worked out just fine.
eTransPlus, anyone ever work there?nm

Does anybody else here besides me work for eTransPlus?
I would love to hear from some other employees of eTransPlus. I never see anybody say anything about them that actually works for them - only questions abuot how they are... I know I cannot be the only Transcriptionist they employ!
I work at eTransPlus and....
I do not normally run out of work - if I run out of work on my primary account, there are always my backup accounts. There are times when things are slow and I might not work my scheduled hours and come back later and get my lines in for the day, but I am not required to do that.
Also, I do 2000 lines a day with no problem usually. And since the required lines are a lot lower than that, then you should not have much of a problem getting your lines in.
I personally love my job and this is the first time in 17 years that I can say that. I will be at eTransPlus for as long as I continue to transcribe.
Anyone ever work for eTransPlus?
Very interested in this company but just have not seen that much about them.
I currently work for EtransPlus. One of the
platforms they use is awful (Meditech). They use another one called Mongoose that is a little better if you're lucky enough to get one of those accounts. I actually miss Medquist and the DQS platform (very user friendly).
Used to work for them, would never again and definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone
bt
I work there and am very satisfied and would recommend it - nm

Does eTransPlus have plenty of work?

I work for them and would recommend them highly. Email me if you
want to ask specific questions. oceansonata@aol.com
I work there - would recommend them; for details - email me - nm

I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
I work at etrans. Would recommend them. Specific questions - email me... nm

Anyone else working for eTransPlus running out of work on a daily basis?
How are you handling it?
Need current info on ETransPlus i.e. work load, line rate (ballpark), cost of benefits, SM
and overall treatment of their MTs. I found archived opinions but all old. Is anyone there now that can comment? Thanks!!
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
I used them and would not recommend them
to anyone. Heaven forbid you should refuse a job from them. Extremely nasty company
I'd recommend them!
I've been with DRC a few years and the best thing I ever did was sign on with them. I make more than MTs in my area working at the local hospital; can't speak for other DRCer's though. I have a lot of experience and have a couple accounts I work on. I enjoy all the work and feel like I get a good variety. The company is great, the staff is great. Usually tons of work, and where there are lows they don't last long, flexible with schedules. I really like their operating system too, very easy to work for them.
I am there, and I would NOT recommend them to anyone. no msg

i used to recommend MQ
but for the last 1-2 yr have had too much trouble with working too many accounts to have work. In fact, even with plenty of work in my primary, they often bounce me around to other accounts. Keeping all the different account specific info straight takes too much time and costs me too many lines. Besides, they have stated to us in the newsletter that much of the work is going overseas to the international labor partners. So unless you would prefer to edit or do the voice technology editing, you may want to go with someone else.
I would not recommend them either sm
I was there for 1 year 5 months, and I was jerked around the whole time.
I started off at a low pay, then I was bumped up to a higher pay, then my pay was cut, then they stopped paying for spaces.
I couldn't take it and quit.
same here, would not recommend them
same here, they start you at 6.5 cpl, I was moved up to 7.5, then bumped back down and the insurance after they changed it has a 250 dollar emergency room deductible. What is great about that I don't know. Several part-timers left last year because the few benefits they had were taken away, so no I wouldn't recommend Spheris either
Could anyone out there recommend...
a recruiter that they have worked with? I have never gone through a recruiter, but I think I might just sign up with one. Anyone have any recommendations.
Would not recommend
If you don't mind not having any benefits or any hopes of receiving a raise then thehy would be okay.
Is there anybody else you would recommend instead?
My main two concerns are a decent platform to work in and a decent medical insurance plan. But, you're right--there's obviously some other things that I need to consider too.
I know that every company will have it's advantages and disadvantages, but does anyone know of any companies where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
I recommend MDI, too
Very honest, decent people to work for. Great pay. Competence in all departments from payroll to tech. Superb liaison. MDI is very picky about whom they select and about work quality, which is fine with me. I have been in this biz a good long time and have never liked any company so much.
Would not recommend
I currently work on Cornerstone doing mostly letters and the occasional op and ER notes. By far, I spend more time looking up addresses, time I am not paid for. I would not mind it if the pay was fair but it is not. So, I plan to look at other companies because I can no longer afford working for them.
In the beginning I had a somewhat decent account where I could meet the line count but on my new account with more than half my work being letters I waste a lot of time having to look up information and then inserting it into the document.
Another thing is the number of upgrades, and I use that term loosely, have caused my computer to crash. So I end up wasting more time.
Also, raises are as rare as hens teeth. And, if you do get a raise they end up putting you on an account where you cannot make any lines, so you cannot really call it a raise.
This week I plan to dust off my resume and start sending it out. If nothing else I can get something PT and then work into FT and then get away from Spheris.
Sorry for rambling, but I would not recommend Spheris even to newbies and especially not to the seasoned MT.
To put it bluntly, their platform SUCKS ASS. 
I would recommend against it (sm)
I've been in this field since 1966. I'm just holding on by my fingernails waiting for retirement age. It's way too late for me to start a NEW career. I was single mom for most of the years my girls wer growing up. I supported them and supported them well in this profession. Now I make less than I did in 1996. When people asking me what I do, and express an interest in going into the field, I actively discourage them. It's definitely NOT what it used to be.
Yes, I recommend it.
I just tell people that expect to make absolutely nothing for the first 10 years. LOL
My pay has doubled since I left my hourly job; or should I say I was pushed out of my hourly job with outsourcing hanging over my head. I was to train my replacement as so-called just for back-up but I saw the writing on the wall, so I left. I was only making 13 dollars an hour and that was 3 years ago. I started at 7 dollars an hour 17 years ago. I'm making a lot more now and have a lot less stress for sure than working on-site and having to do everyone else's job with no one to do mine.
I'm happy MT'ing. I do not recommend it to others though as I tell them it takes years to get acquainted with the terminology.
As far as telling people to come to this board, they have no clue what all of these abbreviates mean especially the company names. It's too confusing for someone who doesn't know our world to come in this message board and make anything out of it.
No, no, no - used to recommend MT but no more..

Since it seems to work when I post a reply I'll ask my question here. I saw in the archives 5 posts on eTransPlus that were all favorable. But the last one was in March 2005. If anyone still works there can you just e-mail me or reply to this?? I was wondering about their pay and flexibility with scheduling. I know sometimes we just have to "take the plunge" but I want to just see if I can find out if things were still pretty smooth there. Thanks.
eTransPlus
Month we were running out of work, didnt hear from supervisors at all when inquired about getting another account, after emailing them several times. Now that there is a very high backload, we're getting emails from them. eTransPlus have gone and is going through changes. The way we get paid has changed. It is now on a graduated scale- So, if you want to make at least 9cpl, you will have to produce 1601 lines per day- If you're not a high producer, don't expect to get more than 6 or 7 cpl.
eTransPlus
Thanks..it sounds like it's not too bad if there's plenty of work..I'll probably end up staying put... .. thanks again!!
etransplus
 If you want to work for crooks and liars, you can work for them, but you will constantly run out of work and they will make promises to you until they are blue in the face and you have to file bankruptcy. They don't care about you as the main person behind their business success, you are just a number, and they will send you insulting gifts just to let you know how much you really are appreciated. So all I saw is beware and don't put all your eggs in the EtransPlus basket for goodness sake.
eTransPlus
I appreciate the info..I'll stay put for a while!! thanks much!
ETransPlus
They have had an ad for radiology people for a new account.
eTransPlus
You want JS to email you?
eTransPlus
Any information about this company would be appreciated. I sent my resume yesterday, and within two hours had been called and offered a job. Sounds great, but it all happened so fast, I have not had time to find out anything about the company, specifically, do they communicate with their MTs, do they run out of work, and do they have a platform where you can make decent money.
eTransPlus
Thank you for the reply. I too did a search but could not find anything recent. As you know, in this business, things change so often, a company that was running out of work six months ago could be overloaded now. As well the management could have changed five times since then! But, thanks for the suggestion.
etransplus
They have re-record and you cannot hear the jobs. The people are nice enough, but you just can't hear the work.
Etransplus...anyone currently there? sm
I am currently looking towards going back home to work and would like any input on Etransplus, Is the health insurance any good? It would be just for me. Is there any flexibility throughout day, do they pay shift premium? Thanks!
ETransPlus
Any current happy campers? I did a search but everything seems to be at least a year old.
EtransPlus???
Any updates on this company? I read some prior posts back in 2005 and was wondering if things have changed. Thanks for any input as I am thinking of making a change.
eTransPlus
I work for eTransPlus and I love it there. Would definitely recommend it!
eTransPlus
Does anyone work for these people and if so, what info can you share? Thank you.
eTransPlus sm
I work for eTrans and love it. I don't use ExText, so I don't know how that is set up. They do not have ASR and do not offshore. I've been with them for 6 months now and was with the Q before that and absolutely love it here.
eTransPlus
Anyone know anything about eTransPlus?
etransplus
I've worked for eTransPlus for about 6 months. Usually plenty of work, paid on time, etc. I didn't take out the insurance though, so don't know if that is worth it or not.
eTransPlus
Anyone who has applied at eTransPlus heard from them yet? I am getting anxious. My current is going to VR and I really don't want to to that. I much prefer straight transcription.
