I LOVE it at Medware!!!! sm
What they pay, platform: Merit AND Dictaphone.

Training: You get paid for training, but I am not sure how many days, weeks, etc. You would have to ask the recruiter for specifics.

Do you pay deposit for computer?: You supply your own computer. They do supply some software and a foot pedal.

What they are like to work for: I absolutely love it there. I have worked for them for almost a year and a half and love it. There is PLENTY of work. I have an AWESOME Team Leader, AWESOME coworkers, and I love that they hire from within.

They do offshore some work, but what company doesn't. Look at Walmart, IBM, etc. just to name a few.

They also do have good benefits...401k after 1 year, 10 days paid vacation after 1 year, sick leave, medical, dental, vision, life insurance....HTH!
I use EXText with Medware and love it
Very easy to install, I had typed on EXText at a previous service so I was familiar with the platform, but it is quite easy to use.
I too work for Medware and LOVE it...
They were a very good change for me also. The benefits are good. My team leaders are GREAT. I could NOT have picked a better place to work. They DEFINITELY are a GREAT company to work for, and I too have been VERY happy there!
I work for Medware...I love it!

I have been with Medware for 2 years

They have been a good company to work for.  I like my account and the pay is direct deposit every other Friday.  That was the biggest thing for me, my previous service paid by check and it was always late.  I like my team leader and have steady work.  I also use their insurance, it is United and I have no problem finding a doctor in my area.  All said, I have enjoyed everyone at Medware and plan to stay with them.  Hope that helps, good luck to you.


I have been with Medware for 2 years
They have been a good company to work for, I like their system and find it productive.  My team leader is very nice.  I was looking for something steady and a stable company and especially direct deposit.  Found it all with Medware.  Give them a call and ask questions yourself.
I have been with Medware for 2 years

They are very nice people.  From the time I started in training up to today I have no complaints.  The recruiter responded and answered my questions.  HR send me all of my paperwork and I received my equipment in 4 days.  They have a person who calls you and helps you get your software and pedal installed right the first time.  My trainer was professional and very helpful, providing samples and account specifics.  My pay arrives by direct deposit every Friday (big change from my past service).  I have an agreed upon shift that is best for me and best for my account.  They have asked for additional help the past few months and honestly, it's better to be busy than looking for work.  All in all I am happy and hope to stay with Medware for a long time so I can watch my Medware 401K grow.  Hope that helps, I know some do not like to commit to a certain shift but I have found them to be quite accomodating in that respect.


I have been with Medware for 2 years
They are a very good company to work for.  I like my team leader, their system is easy to learn and productive.  I have the health insurance plan and found it to be more than adequate in my area, they use United Healthcare.  Always have work and always paid on time, every other Friday by direct deposit.  I plan to stay with Medware for a long time.  Hope that helps.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
I have the individual insurance and it is $17/week, sorry I can't help you with the family price.  Maybe just call the office.  I work 36 hours per week and get about 12000 lines in each pay, which is every other Friday.  I was looking for steady work, insurance and direct deposit.  Previously I was paid by mail, hated that.  I hope some of this helps, the people at Medware are very, very nice and I have been quite happy.  Good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
They are an excellent company.  Very good support, good accounts and the people their are really nice.  My insurance is $17/week, I have direct deposit and paid days off/sick time.  I am so happy I went with them.  It has been a pleasant 2 years.  Good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
They have a software system that is easy to use and also they now use EXText software too.  I have had plenty of work, my team leader is very nice and the healthcare insurance is affordable, $17 per week.  They use United Healthcare.  Direct deposit every other Friday is a big change from where I came from and the people at Medware really seem to care.  I have enjoyed working for them.  It is shift work but they are flexible and you can work with your team leader to get a schedule that fits.  Hope that helps, good luck to you.
I have been with Medware for 2 years
They are a great company, everybody that I have ever associated with is very professional.  I always have work, direct deposit every other Friday is a HUGE plus from where I worked previously.  The healthcare plan is good and at $17/week it is affordable.  Medware has been, and still is, the best service I have ever worked for, hands down.  I can see why they received the employer of the year award----twice!
I have been with Medware for 2 years
I started 2 years ago at Medware and have been very happy.  My team leader is very supportive and there is always work.  The insurance (United Healthcare) is only $17 per week, and I needed some kind of coverage.  The plan is a good one and includes a prescription card.  Pay dates are every other Friday and it is direct deposit.  I also enjoy the paid vacation days now that I have my first year behind me.  They are a good service to work for, I have been quite happy.  Good luck to you.
You stayed with Medware for 3 years and now you
state you didn't stay with them very long.  What is it?  I think we can all read between these lines, I know I can. 
I LOVE DSG!! Been there almost 3 years. sm

The management staff is great, easy platform, pay is always on time, flexible schedule.


Yes they are still around - been there 3 years and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I also have 12 years in, and would love to get out.....
Would you mind emailing me and letting me in on where you went to.......it sounds like a much better, happier place. I can't see things at the Q getting any better....Thanks!
Been with MQ for 8 years and love it.

I have done ER for 2 1/2 years and LOVE it. sm
I work full time too, and we seldom run out of work. If we should, (and that is rare), almost everybody is cross trained in other work types. Some times it gets boring..how many ways can you pull out a splinter or diagnose chest pain? The hospital I work for is the largest hospital on the west side of Michigan. Every single ER doc uses the same basic template. Then we have canned text. We are also allowed to make as many Expanders and macros as we can use to achieve your production quota. We have our fair share of mushmouths and speed talkers, page turners and dead air. And of course, every summer the new crop of residents rotates through, along with the medical students, and other hangers-on. LOL. We are still paid by the hour, but that is going to be changing as we have started VR. The higher-ups just haven't figured out how to do it yet.

ER's are busy 24/7 and more so during holidays, so the work is always there. If you like a variety, and you will get it, you will like ED work. There will be days you just shake your head in amazement at some of the stuff you will see come through the ER.
I love it too. It will just be gone in a few years. It's just
nmmm
Been there 1-1/2 years - still love it! nm

I have been there for over 2 years and I love it...
great company to work for...You will not be disappointed :)
Medware has been paying $14 for years, No cost of living increases there! nm

Been there for 4 years and absolutely love it! sm

Good accounts, pay on time via direct deposit, higher pay than most, smaller company where people still know you by name and truly care.  As for the platform, you type in Bayscribe and send your reports in live via the web site.  Some accounts are converting to wav files, and some are still via C-phone and you have to pay your own long distance. 


Of course, as with all companies, one man's paradise is another man's hell, so I am sure there are those who will disagree with me.  If I can answer anymore questions, fee free to ask.


Good luck! 


I have worked there for about 2-1/2 years and love it. sm
I had a problem a few months ago waiting for an ID for a new account when I asked for a change. I am glad that they kept me on my original account during the wait because it took over 3 weeks. I was told that the hospitals can take a while but the wait was worth it as I am on the best radiology account I have ever been on. I have never run out of work and get paid both well and on time, so I am happy.

It is worth the wait.
Worked at MW for over 1.5 years and love it!
   Email me for more info.  :)
I love working for them.. have been with them for YEARS. xx

I have been there 3 years and only do rad. I was trained well and love my job. sm
The only complaint I have is that 2 accounts I was on went to Powerscribe. I was put on different accounts because I do not like to edit VR, so there was really not a problem. I get a lot of work and love my lead!
I agree...I have been with them for 2 years and love them...
They are the best, for me at least!!!
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
I love Transcend, have been there for years...
started with MDI. The offshore component is mostly on Escription, and has never affected my workload.

Transcend is a good company; they treat me well and I make great money - I could care less if they offshore. Then again, I also have a Samsung TV, a German car and many things made in China!
Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!

I have also been at Keystrokes 2-1/2 years and love it...
Great company.
What line rate does Medware pay for 28 years experience but no CMT status for an employee, also
is the pay higher for IC?
Years ago I knew a completely blind lady who worked for Medware (nm)

Ihave nearly 20 years' experience and love doing

Ops.  All the other stuff is so boring to me.  Not many days go by that I don't have to look something up.  There is always a new piece of equipment, a new procedure, and when you get new doctors coming it they may been from a different part of the country and their terminology is different for the same procedure that the other doctors use.  It is a constantly learning process.   If you have good reference material and utilize the equipment manufacturer's websites that helps provided the dictation is clear enough that you can figure out which way to go with it.  If you can do just one speciality, like doing GI procedures or orthopedic procedures it will give you lots of practice and it will be easier to become familiar with the terminology.  If you can get samples of dictations that will help also.   I would definitely take a chance on doing Ops.  You might not be able to do them, but then you might surprise yourself.    You always have the word boards to help when you really get stuck.   I think it is a great opportunity for a newbie.


 


I LOVE working for TransTech. Been there almost three years and it's
the best MT job I have ever had. You will enjoy talking with Debbie, who does the hiring.
Softscript does. Been with them 2 years and love it. No flames please!

I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm

I have been with KS for a few years now and love it. They grow continuously without sm
losing accounts, so that is why they are always recruiting. The last information I saw was that they doubled in size between last year and this year and will do so again by this time next year.
I left MQ for KS 2 years ago and love it. They have a lot of rad accounts. sm
I make great money even though I took a report pay cut because there is always work!
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for.  There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well.  They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance.  Am I getting rich off this?  No.  Am I paid reasonably well?  Yes.  Would I recommend Transtech?  Absolutely!
I am in training - 27 years experience. Love the platform! nm

I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
 
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse.  I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl.  Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits.  Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to.  I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
