You obviously know nothing about the owner or the company. Many accounts are going to internet base

    MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

    So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


    They do have some internet accounts
    and some require C-phone or Lanier. When they hire, obviously they hire for whatever account they need someone to work on.
    They have some internet accounts...
    That is my main account and there is no work at all this morning. Seems like what I feared all along...overhiring!!
    internet accounts
    Yes, they have some internet accounts, but not many, and they hire for specific accounts that need help, which may or may not be an internet account at that time.
    Do you need a Cphone and your own LD for all accounts or do they have any internet accts.? nm
    s
    I work strictly through internet; they have some accounts
    that you work off phone lines but not many. If offered a position, state you only want internet work and nothing to do with phone lines.
    Base rates with National incluidng shift differential. Smaller - base rate 11 cpl. nm

    Dont you have to pay for internet and long distance charges from them because most of their accounts
    are not on the internet. I think this is the company.
    Yes, but their internet accounts at the moment are high volume ESLs nm

    Poll: What % of base rate does your company pay for ME?
    MQ - 70% of base rate for ME.

    They do not offshore. The owner's original company was bought by MQ; started a new company, whic
    That's about all I know. I would give them a try. They sounded good!
    Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
    He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
    Dr. joining an internet company
    Anyone out there that can figure this out?  I work for a local physician who has decided to go with the Interest because supposedly it's cheaper.  They state they will charge 7 cpl 65 character.  How can a company charge that little and still pay the MT.  Will the MT make 2 or 3 cpl and who would do that??  Any comments?
    Company paid internet
    For those of you who do your transcription via internet, does the company you work for reimburse you for your internet cost?  If so, how much? 
    Is this really the owner of a company
    Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
    Owner of a company
    I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
    and........ the owner of this company
    is subcontracting work out for Medware. Medware and herself are one in the same.
    I am a company owner
    I hire people who can work whenever they want and how much they want and they don't need to tell me, so I don't have a clue about those things. I have work out of turnaround time, but I have no worries because my employees will work whenever they need a little money, so the jobs can just wait on them. Perfect scenario.
    Internet - kind of a DQS-like program. Great company. nm

    From the company owner to the employees
    after somebody mistakenly forwarded an email from someone in India to the company employees- then they had to fess up. The person with the email slipup decided to "change jobs" within the company and it went to the pits after that with incompetent managers.
    Talking to owner of a company
    The reason I would talk to an owner of a company is simply this. If you have gone to the people you are told do and nothing is resolved it is time to go over their heads and elsewhere. When I did this he/she had no idea it was that bad. Now you know why?
    Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
    work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
    The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
    pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)

    the reason for the discrepancy has been explained by the owner of the company already - nm

    I removed the posts after speaking directly to the owner of the company. If
    you have questions or concerns you need to take it up with her.  There is one specific person causing most of this grief.  I have CHOSEN to remove the posts, I was not forced to. 
    I think the owner of MT Daily owned a transcription company which was sold SM
    to an Indian company, but I may be wrong.
    Probably no "real" company name. I got the impression she was a private owner her own small bu
    and..probably not a company we would have heard of before anyway. I applied so we shall see.

    Is that one of the accounts at the PA company?
    Just curious...
    I think they are a reliable company but some of their accounts are almost 100% ESL and very
    difficult.  Check which accounts they are looking to hire for and let me know.
    Another company shares accounts at same hospital..
    they pay well. contact phoenix med com at phoenixmedcom.com. they do lots of ortho too!
    Is there any company that does not constantly switch you around on accounts?
    I am worn out with working my fingers to the bone typing endless ESLs with thick accents, but just when I get the hang of them, BOOM, I am switched off these accounts and have to start all over again with a new work pool.  I am talking about hundreds of docs here and a half dozen different hospitals. 
    Have 4 accounts and no work. SR doesn't pay enough. Like the company, but..

    Unless the company just has clinic accounts, they usually require
    that you work one weekend day and there is no differential for that.  There may be a differential if you work both days.  I get shift differential for working outside first shift hours.   There are always exceptions to the above, though more and more companies are going with a weekend day required. 
    Regarding Spheris, are you allowed to use your own computer for this company and are the accounts
    full of ESLs. I know they used to take off for QA or something. Do they still do that. I am just curious as it seems like some people are liking this place better and just wondering if they have gotten more lenient with their MTs as far as time schedules etc.
    The company I work for does it, to keep all accounts in TAT, can be frustrating but most of the time
    am just happy to have work.  I am not sure, but I think I work for the same company as the previous poster, and I'm going to stick it out because it does seem to be getting better lately as I think the accounts are better covered now.  If I were you, I would ask what the deal is, who knows, they might give you a straight answer or change your accounts if they find out you are unhappy, you don't know until you give it a try.
    Keystrokes accounts are stable. The company treats every customer
    like their only. No accounts have been lost. I have been there for 3-1/2 years. Same accounts plus double since I started.
    Too funny - whenever someone likes their company or accounts, someone has to say "this person is
    There are good and bad things about most companies. I'm just saying what I personally find to be true for this company. Take it or leave it.
    I see Precyse is hiring for new accounts. Would appreciate recent info on this company. (sm)
    most of what I have found is pretty old.  Are the current employes squelched when it comes to giving out information regarding the company or are they just so busy they don't have time to mess around on the boards?   E-mail if you are concerned about being flamed or don't want to post for whatever reason.  TIA.
    The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
    We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.

    We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.

    We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
    Is it good work ethic to ask to change accounts at natl company? Please SM

    I work for a national company and overall I've been quite happy. However, they changed my primary account last fall, and I have been miserable since then. It is a teaching hospital, several hundred docs, tons of different rules about format, etc, that change almost daily, 80% ESL, and I am very unhappy with it and making less now than I have in the last 7 years I've been doing acute care transcription because I'm so slow on it. I get paid 8.5/line.


    My question is, is it wrong to ask to change accounts? My quality is great, they are very happy with my work, and in fact have mentioned that many MTs have quit rather than do this account, and of course I realize someone has to do it. I'm so unhappy, yet I don't want to appear incompetent or a cherry picker, etc, if I were to ask for a change (which they would not have to do), and I would like to stay with this company if only I could find a way to be happy with the work, because it is a good place overall. Any thoughts on this? Thank you.


    SE...0.095 cpl base...
    I can earn up to 2 cpl extra if I type at least 16,000 lines in a payperiod.

    I have to type a minimum of 6000 lines in a payperiod.

    I am happy with this.
    Base is very low
    But they talk about incentives! Ah yes, incentives. Only now an incentive is being FORCED to work off hours, weekends, late nights, etc., to make decent money. Apparently MTing has now turned to settling. Do you want benefits, then low pay. Decent hours, then low pay. BUT be an IC and we'll throw you a whole penny more cause you get nothing else of course!
    5 yrs ago I got 9 base from them.
