Office Pro Services
Help with ESL overflow.  Does that mean that's all you're going to get?  Does that mean you get the ESL nobody wants?  No English speaking docs in Kentucky?  All at 7 cpl.  They should be ashamed.

ETC Office Services. Tammy Coffman out of Ohio.
My friend said she sounded very good and supposedly had direct deposit. Well, she had no deposit and the lady said she would wire the money and apparently did not do that either. I dont like liars.
Ever heard of MRT Services?
Any info would be appreciated.  I have checked their website but doesn't really answer any of my questions.  It says they type focus groups and interviews.  Medical terminology is a plus?  So are they not a medical company?
Anyone heard of Commonwealth Transcription Services
Looking around for a job and someone told me of Commonwealth.

anyone out there ever heard of Dictation Services Group (DSG)?

They had a post on MT stars and MT jobs a couple of weeks ago.  I sent a resume' but never heard back.  I followed up the resume with an e-mail inquiring if they were still hiring, but again never heard anything.  I have been transcribing for 15+ years, but have not done too much moving around from company to company.  Is this the way most companies operate?  How much time does it take to respond to an e-mail (and yes even if you get a hundred) and advise whether or not they are still hiring.  I am a little disappointed.  I have experience with the platform they are using and the type of account they were hiring for.  Any feedback would be appreciated.


 


Thanks


Has anyone heard if Scan Medical Services

They made me an offer to work IC for them.


 


Has any one heard of On-Point MT Services out of Wisconsin?
Some friends of mine went to On-Point which is fairly new.  But I heard there are problems like being understaffed and payroll not being met. 
This office may be soon joining Amherst and Foxboro so not sure about that. I have not heard much
good on here about it.
I heard it was the company that bought their office in India. SPI?

Better Business Bureau in PA

I am looking for information on how to send a complaint to The Better Business Bureau in PA.  Or maybe there is another route to take.  Toth Transcription owes me money since July and will not even respond.  They need to have something done to them!


Better Business Bureau
Has anybody ever filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about a particularly company?  I am totally frustrated with a transcription service who never pays their MTs on time.  I ended up resigning and they still have not issued me my final check.  Any suggestions? 
Better Business Bureau
Oops, I meant a particular company in my previous post.
Better Business Bureau
This is one place to start, plus I am consulting with a lawyer on options so other MT's wont be scammed by this company. 
Sorry but Better Business Bureau
is likely a waste of your time... How often do you check it before doing business with someone?

Send her a demand for payment letter certified and send a copy to her clients. That would get my attention.

Better Business Bureau Update
Davis Transcription is listed with the BBB, a member since 2002 in good standing.  We all know this is a farce.  This is where we can start, report to the BBB.  They will even contact the company for you if you feel you have been wronged.  Those she owes money to, please contact the BBB, you can file this online.  I encourage each and everyone to do so. 
Better Business Bureau gave them an F rating. I'd pass..






 F

 We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

If this is the place out of Los Angeles..run.. just archives and the Better Business Bureau.
I'd run fast..
Nothing new.. check old archives AND Better Business Bureau. They have an F rating.
I research any and all companies I have worked for with the BBB. If they have a horrible rating then they are not worth working for.
contact the attorney general in the state she is in and the better business bureau and
call the local newspaper and something like ABC on your side. Put the heavy duty pressure on her.

The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.

I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open

info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.

Which office?
/
been through three office changes in the last 10

Went from 7 cents a line to now 9.5 cpl, on this current account going on three years, the one before that, five years, and the one before that two.  My opinion, i'm a good MT and they treat me as such.  Do you work your schedule?  Do you do PLUS lines while maintaining quality?  Are you up their butt constantly asking for raises?  Take tons of time off?  They are weeding out the awful MTs by starving them of work!!! 


Which office is this.
:
Are you an MT in the office currently
I do not know which office you are from; if you are hearing rumblings,it is probably true. Many offices are closing and I do not know why. I was told my office was closing because there was no need for it?? It closed this September. Is your office being transferred to another region?

I am sure you will keep your position but at what cost I do not know. I am still waiting for the PACKET to come and I am nervous about that myself.

You are not alone. We are all feeling this re-structuring and in my opinion things do not look good.

Try not to let it get to you too much. MQ is not worth it.
I have been upset for 3 months now and will be making a big decision on what to do in the next few weeks.

Hope things work out for you.
what office are you with? nm

TT office help
I have had plenty of work too. I guess it depends what accounts you are on. As far as office help, I always get a prompt response to any question or need I have. Why would it matter how much office work they have?
TT office help
I mean why would it matter how much office help they have, duh!
They also have an office in ....sm
southwestern Indiana, but when you call that office you speak to an Indian male. Go figure.
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same.  In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that.  My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours.  I have never not received a pay check on time.  I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple.  Doesn't mean they're all that way!
MQ Dallas Office
Actually, the work is not difficult.  I'm one of the highest leveled MT's at Spheris (back again) and when I was with MQ I started off on one of the most difficult accounts in the SW region.  I found it actually to be very easy.  But, to each their own.  Its just my opinion.  Being an IC person, you may not have as much to say about all the communication (or should I say lack there of) from that office.  You hardly ever get updates (especially if you are use to seeing them) and in order to find out if there is OT available, it's like pulling teeth to find out.  Payroll in that office is horrendous.  You email for a question regarding Payroll and it will take them a good 2 weeks to answer.  You call and you almost always get the voicemail, which also takes them 2 weeks to get back to you.  You leave a message with someone and they always says they'll get right back to you, but low and behold they never do!!  The supers aren't that bad, but the higher ups are the problem down there!   I heard a few of the other region were wonderful to work for, just wish I had been given one of those regions to work in and I might have been a pretty happy camper!!   Good luck and hope all goes well for you.
Me too .. it is with the SW/Dallas office ?? NM

Warminster PA MQ office sm
Can anyone tell me anything about this office? I am still debating on whether to turn in paperwork or not.
Cannot recommend this office at all!
I have been there for a long time, and it just gets worse. They have lost so many accounts that I seem to constantly be learning something new, and I do acute care, any specialty. No money to be made this way. In addition, the office personnel have changed so much that I don't even know who to call with certain matters. It is beyond frustrating!

The only high point has been the excellent computer room staff, but I figure they will probably all be let go in favor of calling 1-800-DICTATE or whatever.

If you have other options, I suggest exercising them! I can E-mail you if you need more info.
MQ Monrovia office sm
With all the MQ horror stories I see on this board, the Monrovia office MTs always seem happy.  I don't understand.  It's the same company, so why such a difference?  Don't all offices all have to adhere to the same company guidelines? It almost sounds like each MQ office is a completely different company.  If I apply for a position at MQ, what factors determine which office I'll be assigned to?  Or is it just pot luck?  I don't get it.
