Anyone here ever worked for Elite Global/Echo? sm

(In Georgia)  How did you like it?  I'd love to hear both good and bad. 


Thanks in advance.

Any information on Elite Transcription out of Kansas?  I found some things on Elite Global in the archives, but not sure if this is the same outfit.  Thanks. 
Anyone know anything about Elite Transcription? sm

Mostly concerned about the quality of sound, pay scale decent, if the pay is on time, method of line counting fair, etc. 


 


Thanks!

Best keyboard I've ever used and only about $25. Nearly silent and has just the right yield to touch (for my comfort).
Global Transcription Services is not Superior Global.

Is MDI-MD affiliated with the other
MDI in Florida? It seems that one has an excellent reputation and the other not so good.
Oh know ... they're not affiliated in anyway with

our un-MQ affiliated DocQscribe does
I work for a company using DocQscribe, but are in no way associated with MQ.  We can very easily access old reports after QA and/or transmission to the hospital -- very helpful.
You DO NOT want to be affiliated with that one! Can you say whack job?

The wealthy elite are running this country.
And they would prefer that your money be in THEIR pocket. They will share as much as they have to and no more.


Yep, elite and STAR=CRAP ACCOUNT-nm

Does anyone know of Elite Office Solutions that pay hourly? TIA

Not being in the 'inner elite circle' I used to be offended
because they were always posting about so-and-so making a kazillion lines and how happy and wonderful for them, and on and on - yeah right, while I would be sitting there struggling with the really bad dictators, losing hundreds of dollars a month doing VR - not even able to make my minimum.

People should not be forced to be social on the job. If you had a private site somewhere for those who do then you would not be offending anyone. Then you could all go warm and fuzzy over each other.

This business is cut-throat in reality, and it seems to me there are always a certain group of MTs who get all the good meaty work, but you always have the people to clean up the garbage.

Not nice to have it thrown in your face.
Is TransTech affiliated with Heartland?
nm
No, not affiliated in any way. I work for the one in FL, and they are very good. nm

Isn't their testing site affiliated with
Career Step somehow? I wonder if Focus gets something for people signing up with their school.
I echo about DSG
I believe Webmedx and Spheris pay hourly, but also almost always hire for QA from within.  I don't know about TransHealth or Transolutions.
Not affiliated at all with Key Strokes - different company all together - www.leeperfect.com - nm

Echo Sten-Tel
I think this company may be in North Dakota.  Has anyone worked for them?  I am thinking of applying with them but would like a little information from present or former employees.  Thanks!
I work for Echo, and I really like it. SM

We use DocQscribe.  I use ShortHand with it, but there is a built-in Expander you could use if you don't have ShortHand.


Management and QA are very nice, pay is fair, work is good.  Some ESL, but not many.


Employee position.  Only bummer is that there are very limited benefits.  I've worked for MQ, Spheris, and TransHealth.  I prefer Echo hands down over any of the above companies.  I don't know if they're hiring or not, but I'll link their website below.


Good luck!

Does Echo have a website? Thanks. nm

It has never happened to me at Echo sm

I'm not sure how many different accounts they have, but I have never been switched around.  I've learned new work types since working there (like OPs), but it is all part of the same account.


I've been very happy there.  I have experience with MedQuist, Spheris, and TransHealth.  I thought MQ was okay...I hated the other two.  Everyone's experiences are different (some love the last two companies I mentioned), but I have been an Echo employee for almost 1 year, and I have to say that I really, really love it here. 


If benefits are your top priority, you might not be too happy here.  They do offer benefits, but they are pretty expensive.  But they offer PTO (given at 1-year anniversary), sick time, and have a very generous incentive program.  They also have much less ESL doctors than I had with those other 3 companies.


I hope you find what you're looking for.  If you want to know more about Echo, you can e-mail me at any time.


Take care,


Chickadee


I really like Echo Transcription, Inc. SM

Good pay, really nice incentive plan, PTO, sick pay, great management, great QA feedback, small percentage of ESL docs, employee status.  Only bad thing, though, is that health and dental insurance are expensive.


Good luck in your search!

ECHO EMPLOYEES? SM

Are they hiring?  Do they use DQS? Wondering if you can tell me if they have any clinic work or will hire someone with hospital but no OPs experience?  Cost  and type of med. ins. for individual coverage? Thanks for any info!

Are you or are you not affiliated with Webmedx? If so, please explain your failure to pay policy sm
as noted in one of the previous postings, for MTs who fail to meet 98% or above. That's not a Webmedx policy, is it? Please post your response here, rather than email.
Has anyone heard of Echo Transcription Inc.? sm

Care to share your opinion and experience with them?  I tested with them today.  They seemed nice and friendly.  The platform was pretty user friendly. 


Is there plenty of work?  Is the pay fair?  Do they have benefits?  Thanks...if I'm offered a position, I'll find out all these answers, but I'm just really curious.

Echo Transciption Inc. in Georgia SM

I really like it there a lot.  We have tons of work, excellent feedback from QA, great boss to work for, good pay.  I spot check their counts against my count on MSWord (characters with spaces divided by 25) from time to time, and it is always exactly the same or 1 line more on DocQScribe.


Their website is http://www.echoti.com.


Good luck!

Echo Transcription in Georgia does. NM

Anyone had any experience with this company?  Would like some feedback, as recently applied for a part-time employee status job there
Thanks for all of your responses. You echo my intuition.
Thanks so much for your responses. I agree with you. I do have a roving eye, just in case, but that would be for any job in this economy. But, I love TT, and considering the fact that I am willing to put the work in to get up to speed, I really don't want to leave, at least not yet. Frying pan to fire, etc. TT has a lot of things besides what I mentioned that I can't put into words. I guess it is just a right fit and where I want to be... so unless things change really badly.. I want my job and I want to keep it! Thanks again everyone for your help.
Where are they rated high??? They're Indian affiliated. 'Nuff said. nm

I thought ATSI was affiliated with Zylomed..That would be strange, wouldnt it. .
I'd check on that if I were you.
Net search shows ChipSoft Infotech PVT. LTD, at least Indian affiliated, if not

I echo your experience! Said the very same thing to me, but I quit them first.
Good riddance! On to better things! :-)
I echo BTDT and left a few months ago. Don't bother. NM

CBay
The hospital I worked for contracted with CBay, closed the transcription department, and a few months later rehired some MTs back due to very poor quality. When posed with the question as to how much of their transcription is sent overseas, i.e., India, the recruiter replied "more than 50%."

Thanks for the info on CBay!

CBay
Thanks for the info on CBAY!

Cbay
Hopefully things have changed then. They have been known to come in, hire the existing MTs to help with the transition, and once things are running smoothly they let everyone go and send the whole kit and kaboodle over to India. Our hospital outsourced to them and it has been a nightmare for the last year. Can't wait to see what they do when the contract is up.

CBAY
I can't figure out why Advance constantly promotes CBay without telling the full story. Absolutely nothing positive about this company that I know of. Our facility is dumping them and I wonder how many others are too.
cbay
i lost my job to them. they didnt offer anyone a position. they took it all to india. it is now back in house because of such poor quality, didnt take long, less than six months.
CBay does not use US MTs does it.

CBay
They must have a great PR firm though. All the articles about CBay make them sound better than sliced bread! The facility I was outsourced from went with them and it was total nightmare. I would love to know how many facilities actually RENEW their contracts with CBay.
CBay
Does anyone know what CBay rates are and do they use domestic people at all
