They were lowest cpl in my recent job search

Also, I saw an ad for them for $12.50/hour. It seems they are leading the charge to push down MT salaries.  


In addition, they do not pay based on experience.  My 25+ years in acute care teaching hospitals in EVERY specialty counted for nothing.


BTW, when I changed jobs, I spent exactly FIVE reports on full QA and then was turned loose, immediately meeting their daily requirements. So I think Spheris is a better fit for those with very little experience and needing heavy QA. They must pay MTs so little because they have big overhead with QA.


It's EASY to search recent posts (sm)

using Google site search.


Ex:  chase site:mtstars.com revealed all the posts written about this transcriptoin company, most recent first.


In a recent job search, they were the lowest offer.

Odd ... I did a search and most recent posts from 2006.
Thanks for responding anyway. Not sure what I'm doing wrong in terms of the search feature.

This was recent thank you
I did take a leap of faith with them and they do pay on time now. They turned that around but nothing else. I stuck up for them and got burned bigtime. All I said was they do not understand what an IC is and were very rude when I pointed it out. Not a vendetta, just a warning. Check them out and ask a lot of questions for clarification. That was all i was saying.
Anything recent on SPi - sm

Since the archives are acting up, need something current on SPi from someone in the know.  Pay, work schedules, how they are to work with, etc. 


Thanks.


Not recent, but I can say ...
Of all the companies I've worked for, they were by far and away my favorite. Easy platform, great dictators, (mostly) fantastic management. But, it's been over 4 years since I've worked for them.

I had been with them for a couple of years, had my set dictators, and they hired a new manager for my account who completely ripped everyone up and around and didn't communicate at all what she was doing or why. Long story short, there was a pretty big fall out with that account and several of us left. A month or two later, I heard she was fired.

I think about going back to them sometimes, honestly. And I would in a heartbeat, if they were like the old T-C I worked for back in the day. Can't say if they are or not, but historically they were a great company to work for.

Good luck!
Is there anything recent in there?
Everything I saw was from 4 to 6 years ago in the archives when they were using C-phones and only hiring IC's.

Does anyone work there now or worked there recently with any insight?
Anyone have recent info on OSI? nm
.
6 to 7-1/2 cpl for the most recent job posting!!! Don't think much of us, do they?...nm

What's up with all the recent firings?

Anyone have any recent OSI information?

Are benefits as good as they sound?  How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology?  How are they to work for?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.


Any recent info on DSG?
Have been offered a job and wondering of pros and cons.  TIA.
two recent interviews

I thought you might enjoy these two tidbits from recent interviews with unnamed companies.  When I asked the first recruiter/owner about the insurance they offered in their ad, I was told that contract had lapsed and there was not a new one signed yet.  She went on to volunteer her opinion that people are better off without health insurance -- that way you can use the free clinics (TRUE story).  The second one advertised 8.5 to 10 cpl transcription and 0.4 to 0.5 VR.  Unfortunately, those positions (although I applied within minutes of the post)  were filled but I was offered 8 cpl transcription and 0.3 VR.  Bait and switch much?


 


You will see that their most recent posting was for QA!

Any recent information on
TIA
Anyone with recent info on
how work is at Stenomed, ad on job board?  TIA
Yes, recent experience
I applied in late August, but it took until just a week ago to receive passwords to work.

Very hands off management in my opinion, although very polite on phone. I think there is just not enough staff.

Also, very low error rate threshhold , but currently no QA and/or no way to flag a report. I was very very uncomfortable with the set up so I did not proceed.

YOU; however, might have better luck. :)
MDI-MD - Recent Hires

Just curious - if you had a phone interview, was the recruiter on time to call you? I had one scheduled but haven't received any contact.


Anyone else with this experience?


Any recent info on TNI?

Feel free to e-mail me if you don't feel comfortable posting.  Thanks!


Any recent SPi info? sm
The archives have nothing very recent and nothing very nice to say about this company.  Have things improved there over the last year?  I notice their line count requirements are lower than most companies.  Does this indicate an inability to provide MTs with enough work or good sound files?  ANY recent information would be appreciated.  Thanks!
Did you apply to either of their most recent ads and if so
did you hear back from them?
Recent TTS info anyone? (sm)
Wondering if anybody could post updated, recent info on TTS as to how the work load and getting paid on time have been for the past 6 months or so ???  TIA.
Is two months ago recent enough?.....
....I sincerely doubt they have changed their ways in the past two months, since I was terminated.

Be very, very careful if you accept any of their offers. Everything stated in old posts here are correct....and I know this by first hand experience and also from co-workers who had been there at the same time as I was, and experienced same or worse.....eventually.....

I wish you luck, but I'm afraid you will be sadly disappointed, perhaps not right away, but given enough time, if you go to work for them.
I noticed recent ads for MDI-MD
on MTJobs says full and part-time IC positions are available. Something new they are offering?
Was this a recent move?
Because it seems like everyone has been pretty happy there, that is, not hearing much complaints here on the board.  Lack of work maybe?
recent posts...
Pay is late. Recruiter takes forever to get back with you, if ever.
chronicle-recent
I just left there about 3 weeks ago. They have Apex and another platform now. I didn't have any problems with the platform I was on. Work volumes were very, very low most days. I had 2 different accounts and there was no work on either for several days at a time. I didn't have problems with QA. My problem was with disorganization. I liked the company as a whole and I loved my account, but I wouldn't go back mainly because of the low work and no opportunity to make up time because of low work volumes most of the time.
To those of you recent MDI hires...sm

Were you hired just by submitting your resume, or was MDI advertising for help at the time?  How long between the time you sent your resume and the time they called?  Thanks.


 


Recent post on AOL

There was a recent post on AOL about earning extra money with a second job during the recession  One of the jobs listed was medical transcription and the article stated if you can type and have excellent English skills you can do this job at home and earn extra money  --  My supervisor informed me of the link originally, then I saw it later that day  -- no wonder this profession has gone downhill :(
