I really DO have odd sisters, don't I? BTW - my really cheap Big Sister did manage to buy me a decent gift - the Beatles 1 CD. Unfortunately, she got me the same thing last year...ARGH

ROFLMBO!! Oh sorry, but the Pube got me:)
LOL!!
Wow, they have a town named after me! LOL. nm

I think there are more than one company named that. nm
nm
company named IDS...

Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS?  Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc.  Thanks very much for any info.


There is a poster named Jai
that works for them, and she posted something not too long ago about them that she likes it.   I think she is the one though that has a lot of questions on the word board, so if she is doing word for word, they must have a lot of ESLs or something.
company named LTS
Can anyone tell me anything about a company named LTS?  Thanks
Aptly named.
Wrong! Minimizing, mind reading, name calling. Assuming.
Anyone know of a company named
Any information, good or bad?  Thanks very much.
You mean the lady named Pepper at OSI?
who knew!
bet if she named the co she would no longer be a recruiter for them.
Some things you have to look at twice because you really don't believe what you read
Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious.  I tried Archives but could not come up with anything.  TIA.
I'm looking for information about the company named DSG. nm
nm
I do not believe any names were named or any co was mentioned. I only know what I was thinking and
only the incident. I would not name a co. That's not me.
Wrong about making assumptions though. We all do it. There is a big difference in making an assumption and actually naming a co which I did not do.
What did you want to know? Just named AAMT employer of year! sm
With the caveat that no company can be everything to all MTs, I personally have been with Webmedx (and Rodeer, who was bought by Wbx a few years ago) since 1998 and have been pleased. Good platform, decent accounts, average pay with chance of making bonuses, room for advancement (I know of MTs who have moved into QA), decent QA feedback, and I love my manager.

Benefits are good in my opinion. Pay is on time (all direct deposit), workflow decently steady. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)
Saw ad for Transcend and they actually named the new account they were hiring for (sm)
Isn't that a little strange?  I know we don't post account specifics and I have never seen a company do so before.  They mentioned the hospital name, town and state. 
company named Voice Systems
What does anyone know about a company in Georgia named Voice Systems?  Are they a good company to work for?  Do they pay well?  Thanks very much.
About as funny as a Clinic in California named Ole'
Didn't they get wiped out by the Mexicans? 
*good morning* !! Accts are not named here! NM
NM
Is there actually a company named Rural Transcription?
I thought she was trying to say that she lives in a rural area and has to do transcription at home because there are no local in-house jobs. I didn't think she was badmouthing a particular company by name...

Am I missing something?
I saw the MQ Hawaii vacation winner was someone named Lori G. (sm)
congratulations to her.  I, of course, am jealous though. 
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

I have no info, but the energy center is named after my grandfather nm
Frank R. Applegate Energy Center
see inside - it's just a start, but stay away from the Indian named owner - I think we know
where that work is going!!!

In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
We also say 'Ford trucks' named after Henry Ford. Makes sense to me.

You said it sister
Honey..just go get yourself a job in house somewhere so you can get paid by the hour even when the census is low. This happens everywhere this time of year.EVERYWHERE..I'VE been doing this crap for 30 plus years...EVERYWEHRE honey! and dont give me no &_^)* about spelling because off time I don't worry about it
right on, sister!
i think you made excellent points in an intelligent way!

I must say the thing that bothers me is when I see a post that says, Hey, has anyone heard of ______? and in reply, you get anonymous responses like, STAY AWAY! or RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! or HORRIBLE, EVEN WORSE THAN ______!!!!!

What I would prefer to see is Run as fast as you can BECAUSE _________ i.e. didn't pay on time, run out of work every day, all the accounts suck, etc. I think this correlates directly with the points you made. As hard as it is to believe, some people with family obligations, mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems don't always mind if they run out of work an hour or two before their shift is over, especially the people who are manic and did 2000 lines in 3 hours. So those people might be interested in a job that runs out of work, know what I mean?

To me, that is bashing, just where you see THEY SUCK, RUN AWAY!!!! It doesn't address the differences between companies and MTs like you so astutely mention.
You said it sister. There is nothing
It actually makes you more accessible to new accounts.  If people see your face, they know you and will usually spread the word. 
Right on sister!
She must have told the truth.
I'm with you, sister, but

there will always be SOMEONE who undercuts or is willing to accept less.  That's why we are in the predicament we are in.  Fortunately for me, I don't do MT FT anymore and am not dependent upon it as an income. 


Others will do whatever they have to do to pay the bills.  They haven't come to the realization they can make more at McDonald's versus accepting the insultiningly low pay of 6-7 cpl for an experienced & highly skilled MT.


You said it, sister!!!

Great post.   What's that old saying, the only fear is fear itself?  I haven't had much coffee yet this am, so my brain isn't quite fully functional.


To the OP, I can't speak for MDI, but I do work for Landmark on a clinic account.  They have been great to work for.  Clinic work being what it is, there have been a couple of moments where the work slowed down - around the Christmas Holidays and then about 2 weeks ago when apparently half the staff was out sick.  I had a lot of really hoarse dictators the next week.  I also was able to catch up all my lines over the weekend when two of the docs started catching up on 4 months worth of dictation, so I didn't end up being that short after all.


The people at Landmark have been great and QA is wonderful - really easy to work with.


you go sister
You reminded me to be nice - you are darn right-- you just don't know what may be going on in a person's life and we don't need to add more _rap to it. Great comment.
wasnt this Lee's sister in law?
q
My sister wants to go into transcription.....

Does anybody have any recommendation on a good school --- I don't care to hear the negative - just the good stuff.


 


Thanks!


Amen sister!...nm
ll
Amen, sister...sm

I hear ya sister

This is a rough profession. Everyone gets so excited when they hear we work from home, but don't know about the difficulty we can have achieving stability and peace of mind!


 


My sister is an RN and makes sm
She has the associates degree....  She makes $27.50 hr base pay  she has been a nurse for about 3 maybe 4 years.....  hope that helps
Amen sister

You said it.


AMEN SISTER
Totally agree with you. I love Transcend.
AMEN SISTER!!
I am scheduled 7-12 and will probably be hanging around for a couple of jobs here and there since everyone took advantage of the extra $$$$ leaving me with hardly any jobs and those jobs are my secondary LOL
Don't know about your sister, but try it yourself, then comment.
Don't know about your sister, try it yourself, then comment.
do you do my sister and brother-in-law
really don't know what company it is - she says it is local - they are in Ottumwa.
Amen sister
xxx
My sister works there....sm
She absolutely loves the Cornerstone platform, loves it, loves it! It's MT friendly I guess, and she loves it. Yes, I say loves it so much because I think she said it about 50 times in one minute while she was talking about it! lol Once she got used to it, she...you guessed it...loved it. (hehe) :) She said her production is really good on it.
Amen sister - you said it all NM
d
You tell 'em sister....

Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted.  Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.


As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in.  Now that deserves pity!


I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say.  If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it.  What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job.  Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.


And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts?  It took for me to shake her up!  But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine! 



Tell 'em sister...

if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend. 


Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not.  There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do.  How would we know?  I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.


Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore.  It just means they also hire US MTs.


AMEN SISTER!!!
:)  Stand up for yourselves!!!  We are not mice!!!  :)
Amen, Sister!!
This whole argument is just beyond ridiculous. I can not believe ANYONE would try to defend this nonsense.

If it was okay, then MTs would not get written up and fired for doing it. Period. End of argument.
My sister worked for them
out of Greenville, Texas. She liked it, they were dependable with work and paychecks.
