I work for Shapin as lead QA and absolutely LOVE my job..sm
The owner is the most fair employer Ii have ever had!! She is kind to personal situations. She will help you out any way she can. I make really, really good money working for her. She is looking for more editors, as the company is growing a great deal. If you want more info, please feel free to contact me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com.
I took the position with Shapin and VERY HAPPY about it.
I make decent money and they do not allow us to zip through. However, they are the nicest people I have ever worked for and I found my place to be so am very happy!
Didn't work for Shapin......

Shapin is a SUPER company to work for
If anyone would like to email me for more infomation, please feel free to do so!  Shapin is the very best company I have ever worked for!
Does anyone know if Shapin requires weekend work? Thanks! NM

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I

I will share this about the MTSO I work for.  I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week.  Would she be able to cover my work.  She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip. 


And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for.  To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.


Absolutely - always work available. nm

Currently work there and absolutely one
of the best jobs I have had as an MT. They are flexible with their time, have holiday PTO and regular PTO. Major plus, only 1 account. I know there are some negative posts around about them, but everyone in my group is respectful and the communication is great.
There is absolutely no work right know, so I don't
think they'll be hiring right now. 
Absolutely. It is SE status - you can work as much as you want.
Statutory employee status - make as much money as you want with no limitations. Plenty of work all of the time!

Good luck!
Absolutely positive. I work as an SE for
are withheld, only Social Security and Medicare taxes.
I currently work for them, and absolutely love them!
Pay is direct deposit and always on time. The account I'm on is relatively easy, although there are a few ESLs. I've been there 6 months now, and am very happy.
I work there and absolutely love it. You
set your schedule each week in 2-hour blocks each day. You have a minimum production per day you have to do and you need to work sometime within the blocks of time you schedule yourself.
I would ABSOLUTELY NOT work for a company that is associated with her. nm

You can believe those on this board saying NO WORK at Transtech ! Absolutely true !!

Getting worse and worse every day.  They are going to VR at a VERY FAST PACE, which pays so little you cannot survive on the money UNLESS you work 60 hours a week OR are one of the supe's fav's that get the better dictators.


There is always an excuse by TT as to the low work, but remember that doesn't pay our creditors.  Work disappears in large chunks when were at getting almost out of TAT (if ever) so it is going somewhere.


TT is turning out to be like every other MT company out there - more and more executives/supervisors to pay and not a single penny raise for the MT -- much less provide work for the MT's on a consistent basis -- not near consistent basis.


Absolutely, sends work to India, Phillipines...sm
She's something alright, sending work offshore instead of paying someone in the US a workable wage. Name of company is Another Medical Must...owned by Renee Lella....look her up on Google and see how that's worked for her in the past, with a major leak of patient records due to dealing with the Indian company and their MTs. She trains her MTs most of the time using her cell phone in the car while doing errands or picking up kids...horrible. Bad, bad experience, never again. She looks at this board occasionally and still posts for job openings once in a while, but always under an alias or different name, sometimes maria...sometimes another name. Shifty.
Between the outsourcing and overhiring, there is absolutely no work for anyone/anything American, pe
nm
Absolutely - I work off FTP and have a 24-hour window to return files.
I work my own schedule daily and keep my TAT. It is that simple. No big deal. I download my files late in the evening, transcribe the next day and upload them late in the evening.

Whatever works!
That's sad. I work for them and I have been happy
and have not run out of work but that huge account that they did get is supposed to be starting soon (I might switch to it) so if that made you nervous, that is sad. Some companies do not falsely advertise.
I work there, I'm happy with them.

Happy where I work
I have been a MT for many, many, many years lol.  I work at Keystrokes.  I make good money, type radiology reports, have plenty of work, can work weekends.  This company has grown, made lots of changes for us.  I have worked for companies that make promises, tell you that the accounts are great, plenty of work and most of the time not true.  I plan on retiring with Keystrokes.  This is my opinion, as I know not every company can make every person happy.  But, this company makes me happy and I pay my bills on time, which is a good thing. 
Well thank you. I am quite happy and often have more work
than I need allowing me to pick and choose but always find it a challenge to try new companies and platforms and new work types. I was interested in DSG because of their platform which is excellent.
I work for Proscript now and am very happy. sm
They are very nice to us and value their employees, and they have the quarterly bonus like MQ had ($50 for 10,000 lines, etc.). They are an up and coming company that does not send to India.
Accept it, and be happy to have work! nm

I work for TransTech and am very happy there. sm

Work is plentiful, the pay is okay (there is a nice incentive tier), the benefits are good, and the management staff is terrific.


Good luck.  I have ended up with jobs I hated, and that is definitely an unhappy place to be in. 


I work for JLG and very happy, no complaints! nm
..
Could u please tell me where u work PT that u r happy? I need to find a new job too! nm

I work there and am very happy. Give 'em a try!
Very professional, accommodating, and fair.
Very happy. Great supervisor and more than enough work. sm
Pay is good compared to other companies. Plus, pay is always on time.
I work with MD-IT Louisville Division, very happy-sm

I started working for MD-IT in October and it has been a fabulous fit for me!  I work in the Louisville Division, there are several others.  The work is steady, sometimes overwhelming, but manageable, at least in my accounts.  They try not to overstaff the accounts.  MD-IT share their transcriptionists across the board and if your primary and secondary run out, they can find you work elsewhere rather quickly.  The people are wonderful to work with and friendly.  Pay is average, but it is fine for me.  There is very little ESL, and what ESL there is is fairly easy to understand.  Your coordinator is just an IM message or a phone call away and very helpful.  I hope this helps.      


Sten-Tel...any QAs here work there? If so, how is it? I'd be happy to hear from ya:D nm
nm
I work at Webmedx and am very happy there. Check them out! nm

Happy, didn't you work at Transtech? Or
NM
Actually, I'd be happy to work for 80s wages -- I made a lot more then. nm

JMO - I absolutely despise psych work! Give me Op Notes anytime - NOT psych. nm

I work for Keystrokes and have assigned doctors. I'm very happy. sm
I believe you can get overflow work if your doctor does not dictate on any given day, if there is any overflow work on that day.  My pay has always been on time.  I highly recommend them.
exactly....all of the people that I know that work for Keystrokes are happy and love their job...
move on if it is not the right fit for you...there are plenty of other companies out there...
Must be MDI-FL. Has its moments. Either too much work or not enough. No happy medium there. Moved on
No thanks.
I work in Meditech for KS and am VERY happy. I average 300+ lph. I prefer it as sm
it is like WP5.1, which I loved. To each his own.

There are also two types of Meditech, Magic with is like WP5.1 and Client, which is a Word-based program.
Shapin.
They don't know the answers to their own test. No telling what goes on there.
Shapin
I've definitely given up on them. I sent them two emails telling them I couldn't find their test on their site and both times I got an automated message back that said please go to the web site and take our test.
Shapin
This is a very laid back company. You can work FT/PT your choice. No min on line counts. There is only one ESL doc and he is a temporary. TAT is 24 hours, up to 48 on back log. If you need more info email me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin..
Hi there,

I do lead QA for Shapin. Feel free to email me with any questions. MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin?
nm
Must have been Shapin, right?

Shapin
I am also a new Editor with Shapin. It seems as though the editors that are no longer here had the company pretty messed up. I am thankful for Laurie giving me the opportunity and mentoring to become a good editor. If there any more good editors out there that are looking for an awesome company to work for, extremely freindly and helpful, apply. We need good editors not crybaby wanna be's.
another ex-Shapin IC
Again, another ex-Shapin employee without a name. If you feel that you were a good employee why are you afraid to post your name? Not surprising I guess. I also am curious as to what you mean by They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. I can tell everyone the facts. Fact number one: People who do their jobs and don't steal from companies KEEP THEIR JOBS. Fact two: Disgruntled ex-employees always yell Foul the loudest because they do not learn from their mistakes, they just go onto the next company and mess that company up too.

I just wish for once, someone would give everyone specifics instead of just generalized comments like unprofessional and lies. And while you are at it, please answer this question....How can you live with yourself knowing that you were stealing from a company by not even doing the job you were paid to do?

Hello,


Is there anyone who works for Shapin that could give me some insight as to good or bad?  A got a response to a resum I sent and would like some information on how they are to work for before answering.


TIA

I applied for the editing position so not sure on the amount for the transcription side.

I worked for Shapin for about four months.  Don't do it!!!  The work load is really bad - hardly any work at all, very low line count, and the pay is miserable.  Check into Professional Transcriptions, Inc out of Pensacola, Florida.  That's who I work for now and the work load is consistent and the pay is great!
Shapin
Does anyone know if Shapin Medical Transcription still exists?
