WELL SAID - OSi people are quitting in droves including management
that's what forums are for.
TO PEOPLE WHO E MAILED ME FOR MY COMPANY (INCLUDING THE SOLICITOR)

I am sorry I can not state my company.  They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now.  I did see them post twice when I was looking, though.  Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.


To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business.  I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!


The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
Good! Great people to work for!

Question for people at DSG. Are you having enough work and for those on DSG1, do you have good
sound on your accounts.  I think DSG2 is overflow from MQ.  Am I correct on that.  I had heard the sound is not as good.  Can anyone let me know anything about this.  I would appreciate it.
I am including all insurance deductions including nm

Good accounts, great people, plenty of work. sm

I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned.  I still find them to be the best for me.  Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise). 


I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work.  As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there. 


Good luck & I hope it works out for you. 


good people who all go to Hawaii while making you work every weekend. nm

Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc. 
I do work all hours, including my days off, and 3rd shift

to try to make up hours, but I'm short most weeks.   There are lots of accounts with low work, yet they keep hiring more.


I don't need the benefits, but I was told that if there is no work it will not affect benefits.   I am new too and not eligible for benefits until next month anyway, so I can't say if that is true or not. 


 


meant arrogant and including. Typing too fast! Gotta get to work! :)

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies?  I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for. 
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts.  I am interested in this company.
Good people
Great benefits, insurance - 2 weeks vacation. Rarely hear from anyone, they just let you do your work.
Jealous? These are good people ...

You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
Good grief people....
If I could make a list about all that has gone wrong at MQ within the last 2 years, I would be her forever!!!
It's a really good way to annoy educated people, though. (nm)
(nm)
agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD

Good god - what is wrong with all these MTSO people?
The more accounts of abuse, lies, bait-and-switch, harrassment, intimidation, and other downright skullduggery these outfits pull on their employees, the more obvious it becomes that the MT business as a whole is descending full-tilt back into the Dark Ages. Next will come the floggings and beheadings.
Yes, they are a decent company. Different personalites, overall good people. nm

Ha -- good for you. If more people stood up to the greedy cheats, maybe sm
we wouldn't be facing this now.  I miss the day of the gross line, but that's hard to find anymore, and if you do find it, even then sometimes they try to cheat you and make it a 100-character line .. sheesh (okay, I exaggerate a tad, but only a tad).

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including

sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !


And you are no longer a hiring manager and probably lost out on a LOT of good people
because of how you handled it. HMMMM??
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.

I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.


I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.

Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.


I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
No it is everything including interventional
mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
9 cpl including spaces
..
I don't believe you get benefits including PTO unless
you maintain 5500 transcribed lines per week or 11,000 edited lines per week, or an average of the two. At least that is what my paperwork says.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm

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?
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends.  I am going to the job during the week daytime hours.  I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing.  Thanks for your concern.  But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines.  I really am enjoying the people the place too.  I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can! 
good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post....i rest my case though, you people
ARE TRULY NASTY.......nothing short of a JERRY SPRING remake here....i simply said that SoftScript was wonderful and so far, i've been told i'm a joke, insulted, called names, etc.......now lets see if anyone has anything nice to say......as if that were possible on this board.............
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.


 


Hope this helps.


Most people get lucky and get good accts. I was also one put on an acct that had me leaving para

This job is only good for extra pin money for people that have other regular income coming in.
It may end up being a good job for people that are experienced and on social security and have other investments now for some extra money.  Would never want to have it to pay all bills.  No way.
But if they are saying per character are they including spaces?
I'd ask if a space = a character.  ;)
I couldn't find anyone, including TT, who would allow only ops.

Do you happen to know if it would be any different including a spouse?
