extremely unorganized and this

Posted By: smt on 2007-11-14
In Reply to: Keystrokes cracks me up!! - I was promised on Sunday that I would receive

is after being offered a position three times by this company over the past few years and each time I have been turned off by how unorganized they are over there.  I had the same experience this past week with them not getting back to me.  Then they did and told me about two positions.  I told her the one I was interested in but needed an answer about the ins.  Then they called me back the next day but she forgot why I was even waiting for the call and then to top it off was told the position that I was interested was no longer available.  This is the third experience with them.  I don't have time to tell you about the first two.  Incredible.  I have a better job offer from TT (actually to return back to them on a better account) and Axolotl which I will decide on by tomorrow, and another from Transcend which I am turning down but Transcend is right on, very organized, answered all my questions, and told me what all she had available and I picked the one I wanted, no surprises and no being left hanging, immediately sent me the ins info by email before we even got off the phone!  That is the way a company should be run as far as HR is concerned.  The two that I am deciding on also are very efficient in answering ALL questions in a TIMELY MANNER and are organized.  Debbie is great and Axolotl is very very nice and polite and immediately sent me the information I needed such as INSURANCE.  I need to have questions answered before accepting a position.  I will not go in blindly.  I have a chronically sick daughter for crying out loud and some companies did not even have the decency to respond to me on ins. so they got nothing back from me.  Oh and get this when I finally did get the ins. information from KS it was this!! http://www.geoaccess.com/phcs/po/  No information on nothing, just a provider look up and when you click on the home icon and travel your way through the website trying to find info there is nothing that states anything about what the coverage is!!


I will never apply for KS again.  Three strikes and your'e out!!

They pay 0.015 cpl for QA work! Extremely, extremely low, low, low. nm

I worked for them. Very unorganized and...

at one time they decided to not pay for any report with anything QA (and QA was a real joke) could call an account-specific error.  There were hundreds of pages of account specifics.  Even worse than that was that within the same account, there were doctor specifics...and hundreds of doctors!  By the time you figured out who wanted what, you wasted a tremendous amount of time. 


My QA person was not an MT - never had been.  She had a BOS and maybe 2 Stedman's Word Books, but she knew it all. 


I do know they have more accounts than they used to, and the "Gerger" of Gerger-Moretti is gone, so maybe things have changed.


They are the most unorganized place ever. sm
had to send paperwork 4 times because they kept losing it. Crappy attitudes. Do not know how to treat people nice.
very unorganized when I worked for them
When I worked for Inscribe last year, it was very unorganized...was hired and then it took them months to get me actually working. As soon as I got an account and started making money on it, they would pull me and put me on another account so I didn't make as much. I got pulled 3 times in about 2 1/2 weeks so I was not making any money. Also, yes, they do charge you for any mistakes that they have to fix. When they make a correction, they fax you a copy of the correction and when they did that, if they have trouble with their fax, that time is taken out of your pay. Ridiculous huh? Also, when I would go to get work, there was never any to pick up. When I inquired about this, I was told to sign on to another account and get work there but none of those accounts had work either. I would maybe get 1/2 work for the 4 hours shift I was scheduled. I still keep in contact with a woman that was one of the originals helping to get this company off the ground. She left because they were so disorganized. I quit after about 5 months of trying anything to get this to work. I went back to getting my own accounts and now am also in college for accounting. Definitely more money in that line of work!
Terribly unorganized is just the beginning with them
They take your lines from, send rude e-mails daily, never answer your questions, and have about 90% ESL.  Too bad you took the job as I would recommend you go elsewhere.
Unorganized, no communication, no work
for more comments regarding mdi-fl
Because instructor was going to be clocking out. Very unorganized

Yes. It is the most unorganized and chaotic mess I have ever seen. nm

Seem very unorganized - no tech help - software not very good

DTS is not a good place to work. Very unorganized. sm
They have offices in Nashville and Carlsbad, I know. I was all hyped to work for them but it was such a disappointment. They kept losing my paperwork and were adamant about your hours worked. The recruiter was horrible, but now they have the former SPI recruiter, so who knows? The manager was ridiculous. Not far, very nasty tempered.
that my dear is what you call an unorganized MESS.sm
she did the same thing with a friend of mine....
Comments from last year said they were very unorganized and had payment issues. nm

I quit after 2 weeks. Unorganized, demanding, esp tech
x
Unorganized, feast or famine work, rude people, AND
Their new accounts are unpleasant to work on to say the least. They are no different than a lot of the other companies now.
Recent contact who was there said they were unorganized, paid low, & flooded you with paperwork.

VERY unorganized, ancient software, rude people running that show NM

YES, extremely sad. Especially,
When you search and search and try to find a great company and you find one like DRC. Gone now. Who next? Very depressing. Time to get out.
What do you consider extremely
I work for a company and I average $20+ an hour. For my city I'm at about twice the hourly pay for someone without a 4-year degree and about twice the hourly rate for an in-house MT. I don't feel like I'm underpaid.

If you are talking about companies that pay 6 cpl or something... well, that's a different matter.
Extremely low
I agree that the people at Proscript are great (wonderful in fact), but nice doesn't pay the bills.

My work load there has been very low (to sometimes nonexistent). I have sometimes had to just sit at my computer for up to an hour or more just waiting for a job to finally come in.
Pay was okay, staff was extremely
rude, they will fire you for anything and you cannot trust them at all!! Worst company out there IMO
He was extremely rude to me when he was at JLG. nm

Extremely unprofessional nm
Are you a member of management?
That's extremely hard to believe
xx
As of a few months ago, the pay was extremely low.
nm
I would be extremely leery
of starting up with a company if there was a lot of negative comments here.  Granted, we have all had bad experienes with different companies and there are sour grapes out there but if there are a number of negative comments and the comments seem reasonable and not real 'anger-based' - just mostly frustrated - then I would make note of them.  We are only going to grow and stay united if we give appropriate feedback from our experiences.  If you do start with this company, just be cautious and don't quit the one you are with now unless you have a really good feeling about them.  IMHO only. 
I took what I felt to be an extremely
long and involved test to be an Editor for SmartMed. Got hired but still did not understand why it was necessary to test that extensively.
I'm extremely happy.
Have never had a late paycheck.  They just rolled out a new incentive plan that looks like it'll boost my pay.  I like my supervisor.  No major complaints.
And YOU must enjoy being extremely

That is extremely unprofessional...sm
It's also very direspectful to one of us. We are all a family of MTs here, so I take this personally!! I think you should post this up top as a separate post so everybody can see it better. They need to know about this company's baby fits if they don't get their way. They wouldn't be making any money if it wasn't for us!!!
Extremely busy... sm
It might be because they have been extremely busy with transitioning a new account.
Extremely frustrated
After three years with FN, to be treated this way is just uncalled for and very unprofessional.  Every account they put me on only lasted a few months and then they lost it, then another and they lost it, five times so far, and now told about the new account with a billion lines, ya right.  Where is it?  I have not see it yet!  Bunch of lies, all lies.   
extremely frustrated indeed
Hi Paul,
When did you start with FN, as I started in 2/2005 and what you are saying is exactly what I have been told also. This new account was supposed to keep us all overwhelmed with work and I am lucky to get 1 or 2 charts PER DAY. I'm practically begging for work and I'm just lucky if they decide to answer my emails or phone calls. Ready to pull my hair out...
Wow, that is extremely impressive!
That is good customer service. We are all customers to each other, I was taught one time in a class at a hospital where I worked. That is really nice to hear.
Extremely low for VA work
Worked in VA a long time and it tends to be very challenging and very ESL. For VBC, this is a really low rate.
8 cpl without spaces is extremely low for anyone
except maybe a newbie!
There software is extremely slow. Very

long wait for report to send before you can start another, and I have cable.  Not productive.  Could never make 1200 lines per day required and that is usually not a problem for me.  Pay is on time and for the most part accurate.  People are okay to work with, except for one manager who is a "my way or the highway" type. 


I am sure they work extremely hard, lol.
They are used to that from setting up their dirt houses and what not. They are used to working hard trying to fight for food scraps.
Are they extremely strict with schedules? nm
x
Newbies who accept that extremely
LOW amount of pay are the reason companies offshore!! I refuse to baby them.
So you are embarrassed. You are also extremely naive.

LOL okay....you must be extremely insecure to think that was snotty
??
My account is extremely flexible!
Whenever I have needed time off, be it just a few hours during my shift or a day or two, it has never been a problem at all! I love it there!
It can be extremely slow and there is no breakdown, but
nm
Just my experience but extremely poor mgt

 


no holiday pay of any kind,  overhire, expensive poor quality benefits, did I say overhire? way way way overhire which always to me shows concern for company and not the working stiffs...Good Luck and you will make sense of it all...it just is a little overwhelming at times.. 


It may take a few days...they are EXTREMELY busy - SM
They just had multiple new account start this week and things are really crazy in the office. I would give them a few days, and if you still don't hear anything, it may not hurt to contact them. Good luck. It's a great company.
Yes, they are extremely busy in the office - SM
They are constantly getting new accounts, which means they are hiring a lot and are getting a ton of resumes sent to them, so it might take them a little bit of time to get to the all. Also, they just replaced their HR person, so it is a little hectic now. I would definitely give them a call. They are all very nice in the office, and I'm sure they will help you. I have been there for almost a year, and it was the best move I ever made! Good luck!
They are extremely caring people.
I agree they are disorganized at this time. I almost left because of that. But I decided to stay because they personally care about the MTs they hire. I have not been there long, and I have worked but run out of work mostly. However, they check in on me very often, not to bug me but to make sure all is well. They have said more than 10 times how much I am worth to them, and I believe them. Only 1 other company I have ever worked with has ever been so kind to me. And so, I believe once this huge growth spurt is over and checks and balances are in place which they are working on right now and fixing, everyone working there or who is chosen to work there is very lucky. I decided to hang in and I do not believe I am wrong. Rather be with people who run a company and who consider me a person, than a number and a machine (I have been considered a transcribing robot more than once in my career). Do e mail or call and yes, Becky is FANTASTIC. Good luck to you and to this wonderful company which is definitely worth giving a chance.
They are extremely flexible regarding your shift
They will work with you and if you want third, you can do partial third and first or split other times. They do not stare at you every minute either. They expect you are mature and will be there. You can even swing either way on the times and it is no problem. You will find that flexibility will be a key to your productivity there and that they are willing to work with you. They are the only company I find who works with employees with such good benefits at the same time... Good Luck!
1200 lines per day for VR is extremely low.

With VR, a person should be doing at least 2000+ per day.  You're kidding yourself if you think you will find a VR job that only requires 1200 or less!


Beyond Text is extremely user
friendly and I've never had a problem making lines on it.  In fact, I made my min line requirements by the end of my first week with it.  I've been there going on 2 years now.  I find it very simple and a lot of things are automated as far as formatting, etc. 
Extremely low work load right now
Supposedly new accounts are coming on board soon.....I sure hope so!
