will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.

The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.

Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.

As a former OSi team lead.....
I will say that the main reason I left the company is because I knew it was not right to ask people to work extra when they could not report it on their time sheets.  And, yes, an account coordinator, has definitely recently asked people to work extra but not report it.  This has been going on a long time.  Time should be recorded as time actually working not what you put on a time sheet.  That is ridiculous.  The majority of my MT's did work extra but did they get paid overtime?  No!  This is SO not right!!!   ');>
she did it while a team lead too

What exactly is a Team Lead?

team lead
You have it all figured out. How can I even respond to such brilliance. Until you understand what my job entails and how much I'm paid, might be smarter just to stay quiet. You know about 1% of what I do for Cardioscribes.
Team Lead Help
So, if you don't mind me asking, to make sure I go the proper route, when you say team lead, are you referring to our STM? I have not been with the company very long and I am not familiar with the position of a team lead. I plan to take your advice. Please email me if you would rather communicate that way. Thank you.
Response to team lead

You say that you contact everyone who is assigned to you - maybe the short circuiting is happening in HR. Someone is offered a job and then the HR person doesn't forward appropriat paperwork or email to the necessary people.


That's bull...sorry..but I'm team lead and
spread it elsewhere
Your team lead/boss

In general, do your bosses respond to your e-mails with questions about your accounts, etc? My boss does not answer any e-mails. All of my e-mails have been our accounts and not just B.S.


I'm an OSi team lead but can't leave
but I can leave OSi and have received 2 job offers that I'm mulling over right now. I have to make a decision by tomorrow before the jobs are snapped up by someone else. They are running out of spots for new hires.
Have you asked your team lead or ROM? sm

When I started I did a few reports, they were checked and then I was opened up to the pool within the first day.  


Um..as a team lead you are paid
hourly so of course the low amount of dictation available does not impact your bottom line. 
Team Lead Help with Cherrypicking
If you are a team lead for the Web, can you tell us who else can we tell if our STM doesn't seem to want to do anything about it when you have complained? What other option do we have?
$14 hr for pt team lead rest production
and yes all we do is assign jobs when coordinator is off, easy money though

You're so silly. Your a team lead

and a front for an Indian business.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  Answer this -- their website gives a US address.  You know where the work is coming from and managed - I don't have a problem with the Indian MTs and work -- it's the false advertisement.  So, you're saying you actually condone and have no problem representing a piece of the sham? 


Also, as a TL for this company, you are not portraying yourself in a leadership position -- you should be portraying yourself as an example and mentor.  If the Indian angle doesn't put a sour note on this company, your posts and representation of them does.  Good luck in your lovely position.


Hey KS Team Lead - I really think you should stop responding. You are making yourself
and your company look ridiculous and unprofessional to the extreme! If this is indicative of how KS does business, it's no wonder they are flat.
I'd ask your team lead. She would know but I will tell you that we're already out of work toda
guess everyone wanted the bonus. I find it sad that we'll get back logged because no one wants to work a regular schedule, yet come a holiday bonus, and everyone is obviously working. It's too bad we couldnt have that bonus rate as a standard. You'd see a lot more motivated people in this business. Most of us are burned out on pounding the keyboard all day and gain so little. I guess so much for a holiday bonus when there is no work. Kind of defeats the purpose..Oh well...I'm vented for today.
It is correct information, someone accidentally sent out an email from their Indian Team lead.

okay management or lead or whatever...

They really are the best management team (sm)
Believe me, I previously came from a doozy of a place. If you had a problem, it was YOUR problem, and if they did help you, it usually took days.
Which company has the best management/team leaders

Can you give your experience of which companies have the best people in place for their team leader/supervisors, and what you liked about that person/company?  In other words, what set them apart from other places you've worked.  Thanks!


company is bad but the Tennessee management team is the worst. Run! -nm

? for any lead at Keystrokes. What does a lead do?

Do they do QA, mentor, or ....? 


You can e-mail me privately if you like. 


Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah  -  i miss it there!
I am a Keystrokes Lead MT and this person
obviously is not, even if just for the reason that we are not called Team Leads. My title is Lead Transcriptionist.
Reply from Keystrokes Lead
I converted it to Keystrokes because that is how I have always mentally figured things. However, with your numbers the keystrokes does come out to 78,000 (for 65cpl). That is a high minimum when the average firm is 1000-1100 a day. Just my 2 cents -- My decision if I want to pursue a job with such a high minimum, but thanks for your input.
I asked my lead. She said that Keystrokes is 1/2 radiology, sm
The other half is split evenly between basic four/acute care, clinic and orthopedics. They also have cardiology and pathology, but very few accounts in those right now.
MDI team leaders R GREAT
I've been with MDI for about 2 yrs and before they had team leaders it was hard to get any info or help when it was needed or find out other accounts I could work on but now I get quick answers. My team leader has helped solve a lot of problems. I don't know all of them of course but the ones I've had are quick to help and not afraid to do what needs to be done. They make my worklife easier and I get more work done because of it because I don't have to wait for one of the big bosses to get around to little me. I don't know if this is what you wanted but that's what I know.
That's great! It gives me hope that my team
might get some accts like that one day. Right now, all our accts still have inhouse MTs. Hopefully, your situation makes for steady work for you and your teammates.
Try Keystrokes for ortho. Lots of work. The lead is the best I have ever had. sm
I have two doctors that I am responsible for and love having them assigned because I know what they are going to say before they say it. She is a stickler for reliability and quality, but if you are a good MT, you will love it!
I meant the same as the Keystrokes BEST team. sm
My fingers are clumsy tonight.
"The most miserable group of people in the world"? Great attitude for a Lead.
Hope you're not one for long.
Keystrokes BEST team has not started yet. There is a tentative start date of sm
It sounds different though as Keystrokes BEST is a team that cleans up backlogs left by other companies and is made up of their top MTs. I do know that they are still in selection process as they just asked me a few days ago. I also know that you have to be with them a while, be flexible and be good at learning different accounts.

I think that Transolutions STAR program is just for more experienced MTs and you can be new to them.

Both ideas sound good but different.
When was their management great?
Are you a disgruntled former manager for them? I heard you all got fired.
Who from management of OSI keeps writing in to pump themselves up to look great?
Did OSi hire somewhat to sit and post on MTStars all day good things so that people would apply there?   This company kills me! 
DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
I am not management...I just happen to love working for Keystrokes...
sorry you had such a bad experience but doesn't mean that Keystrokes is bad...just in your opinion...
As a shift lead I made $15 an hour, but did QA plus lead duties...
I also worked terrible hours with no differential for them. I think it just matters on the company.
DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm

opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
Keystrokes is great....
Until you become a lead. Leads are treated like crap.
Keystrokes is great to work for...
tons of work, great leads, benefits and great pay...I believe they just started using DocuqScribe recently though because I came from a company that used DocuqScribe and an account using that was not offered at the time...send in your resumes girls!!!
Great working at Keystrokes.
I would like to hear from anyone with Keystrokes.  I have been here for 7 months now and really love this company.  The only thing I might complain about is their system for keeping line counts.  Has anyone experienced any trouble as far as line counts go???   I would like some input on this.   Thank you very much. 
The best job in the world! I cannot say enough great things about Keystrokes!!!!! The best there is

The QA at Keystrokes is great too, at least the person I deal with. sm
She is sympathetic about the truly awful guys and usually has some little funny thing to say that makes me smile.  I never feel talked down to or like someone is beating me over the head, changing the rules as they go, as I have with some companies. 
Which is great to work for LeePerfect or KeyStrokes? They are different, aren't they? nm
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.


Thanks for posting that...Just goes to show that Keystrokes is a great company and will work with yo
I hope it works out for you and you start feeling better soon...
Keystrokes....very flexible, tons of work, great leads, good pay...
I love it there...
Some of us choose neither to lead, nor be lead!
I guess I just don't have that 'pack mentality'.
