Search company board. Lots of posts recently, all
bad. Each and every one.
At the top of the company board page, do a google search for MTStars.
Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.
Why do people keep asking about Focus?!?!?!? Search the old posts!

There's a wealth of information and I'm getting tired of repeating myself.


THEY SUCK!


do a search for them on this board
just to the right of Post a New Message.  About the only negative post was that they run low on work, but that could be said about almost every company.  Good luck.
to search the board: How much would that be? nm

Do a thorough search of this board....
bad, bad, bad, bad, bad!!!!!
I'd so a search on them on the board
and see how they treated their previous loyal employees. They can turn on you at anytime. Tread carefully. They seem wonderful and terrific on the outside, but.....

In all fairness, their pay is always on time and correct.
You should do a search of this board...

JLG has had a lot of trouble of late.  They discontinued direct deposit and then have been late paying their MTs.  Recently, they just fired their entire SR team without offering them MT positions, saying they didn't have anything to offer and yet they are advertising for MTs and you are considering them.  So why not fill openings with people already on board?


Where there's smoke, there's fire.  Too many red flags in the last two months or so.  I would pass JLG up if I were you.


Do a search of the board. I was going
after reading the negatives.  I didn't find anything negative about pay but there are consistent negative posts about QA issues and disorganization that go back quite a while if you do a search. 
Search this board and MT Stars
some posts about them not long ago.  Don't remember it being good, but then don't remember much any more.
Search the board. This has been brought up before, and
a list was devised.
search the job seek board
seems kind of obvious to me
Looks like mostly 'con' from a board search. nm

If you do a search of this board there is a lot of information available.

my goodness, did you try a search on this board? sm
you'll find them all - as well as the Medquist board in the list of forums.

Search for the posts on this board
about Chronicle.  My own experience was:  I HATED the platform (Apex).  It's an antiquated piece of junk that is slower than molasses in January and I couldn't make any money.  QA can be moody and the rules on the account change often - hard to keep up with all the formatting junk.  The owner is nice.  The office staff is nice.  Tech support is so-so as far as helpfulness.  I did not like that I had to stop all Java updates and go back to an older version of Java, which really slowed my system down.  Pay was on time and direct deposit.  The account was okay, it was clinic and good cents per line, but there were a lot of cherrypickers who would scoop out the good reports and leave the junk for other people.  I think Chronicle may have another platform besides Apex, but I am not familiar with it - you can always ask them.

do a search on this board - I remember this being talked about in depth in the
not so distant past. You have options.

Good luck, hope it turns your way and she is blackballed.
Do a search of this board. Type in "focus infomatics."
You will find details of my experiences with Focus, as well as many many more details from many other MTs/QA people who had similar experiences.
Lots of posts recently, look down the board, search

Job Board - Focus Infomatics
This company runs an advertisement twice a month.  I took the test a few weeks ago and then got an Email that I didn't meet their scoring requirements and to try again in 2 months.  The test(s) I took were not hard but the typing test was a pain because I couldn't use the foot pedal.  Don't these companies take into consideration how time consuming it is for US to take these tests?  I also found out that you will not be considered for a position if you do not take the test within 72 hours of receiving it or......you accidentally leave your PC on while taking the test and get timed out.  LOL - That's probably why they are STILL looking for MTs.  Get real Focus.
I think someone on the Main Board had this problem a short time ago. Maybe a search there will show
s
I guess you live in a vacuum! Search this board, for crying outloud! SM

A couple of weeks ago there were several former JLG employees posting how they were fired from doing SR and were not even offered MT positions!  I'm not trying to hide anything and I don't appreciate you insinuating I'm a liar! 


You want to know who I am, email me!  My information is from firsthand experience!


MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.


Thank you,

See the Focus Infomatic ads on seeker board of 08/06?
4 of the SAME MT ads and 2 of the SAME Editor ads. Can you SEE the nagging emails? Can you HEAR the irritating IMs?

All those ads sent at one blinds me.
I wish I could look at the jobs board and not have to wade through the Focus s/m

job postings.  I know that sounds ridiculous, and YES, of course I can pass them by (and I do), but every time a job title catches my eye, it is almost always Focus Infomatics.  This automatically puts me in the mindeset of India and our jobs going overseas, which gets me grumpy.  I know some of you have had a good experience with Focus, and I am glad for that, but GRRRR.


Rant over :-) 


Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

rate in pay. Can anyone please spare a fellow MTs time and just let me know if their pay is decent?? I just got a 10% decrease in pay today with MQ and I am just so upset! I'm looking for a decent company, that's all. Thanks so much!
A search of the Main Board will show salaries discussed svl times over. Majority of us are paid
