Golden Isles
I worked for GI for a short time. I left because the benefits were being misrepresented at the time. There were none in place and hadn't been for a long while.

Aside from that though, I found them to be a great little company!
Golden Isles
What type of transcription do you work on with Golden Isles? Just wondering.
Golden Isles
I don't know much about them, but they turned me down and said I didn't have enough experience.  I have 10 years.  Glad I didn't go with them because now I am a QA director of a small company.  They missed out!

inquring on Golden Isles

Hi!  I am a new MT and trying to find a company that possibly provides the hardware and software for the job.  I want to ask if the Golden Isles is still hiring and if do they have a website? 


Golden Isles Transcription - sm

For anyone who has worked there long enough to form an opinion!  How is work availability?  QA people?  How flexible are they with scheduling?  Do they allow vacation time?  (I realize this is probably not paid). Decent pay scale?  Do they pay on time?  TIA!!


Golden Isles is the best place I have (sm)
worked and I have worked for a few. Great people!! gimtnet.com is the site.

good or bad on golden isles
From looking back on the screens, it looks like to me that this company is a great company to work for!!!!! Anyone else working for them right now and think so?
Are you talking about Golden Isles? sm
I worked for them briefly, and I didn't have to have a second phone line. Lots of ESLs for 8 cents a line is why I left.
Golden Isles Transcription

Need information on this company.  Pros and cons, please.  What kind of platform, average starting cpl, how are they to work for?


TIA


Golden Isles Medical

This company is probably one of the worse to work for, late/incorrect checks, make it very difficult to get line count without working 10+ hours a day.  I've been doing this for 15 years and never had a problem until I started (and finished) working for them!  Good luck with tech help - they're always on vacation.


P.S. They don't even advertise anymore on here because of they're reputation.


Golden Isles (GIMT)

Anyone heard of Golden Isles Medical Transcription?  Thanks in advance for any information.
Did anyone else take the test for Golden Isles and have problems
I could not get any of my foot pedals to work and there are four reports to be typed in 20 minutes. There is no way I could do those in 20 minutes using my keyboard to rewind etc. I tried emailing them back but no reponse. I just wondered if anyone else had problems and what they did. I really wanted to apply as I love orthopedics.
Any new info on Golden Isles (GIMT) ?

Don't think she was portraying a golden company. She
By the way, I work for Spheris too and I'm not very happy about it. This woman just stated her opinion. Doesn't seem like a management plant. They have those on the Indian MT message boards! LOL!

I guess he wasn't one that got a golden parachute...

I hope he finds a job soon.  My husband too is in banking and no parachutes around here either but at least he is still employed


Golden Isle..need opinions on their platform. How hard is it ...sm

to make 1000 lines a day?


Thanks for the help!


just my thoughts on it. . .
I'm glad we have somebody to take a second look since we live in a litigation-crazy world and, let's face it, most of the time the doctors aren't going to spend much time reading before they sign. Still,it seems these days our pay is based more on our ability to put all the commas and semicolons in the right place than our experience and knowledge of medical terminology. All I say is give priority to the important stuff and don't over-penalize for the petty things. Maybe some of the QA people are English majors, but most of the MTs aren't.
My thoughts...
You may only get to actually transcribe 3 jobs per day while you wait around for feedback. Once you graduate and are put into the expereienced team, good luck! Most shifts they offer are 3rd and the managment well I've found nicer people at the DMV.
My thoughts exactly. Seems like the ones sm
who have no work or similar complaints are the ones with the most misspellings and grammar dysfunction in their threads. And this is English!! Makes a person wonder what errors are made in medical terminology. It's better to have it pointed out by us than by higher authorities at the workplace. With all the offshoring done now, we all really need to tighten up to keep our jobs here.



My thoughts are... sm
That they actually have too many employees, not enough work to go around! Other than that and the requirement to have unlimited LD, they are great to work for with a very friendly staff.
thoughts
You sound like management. People stay with a company for many reasons. There is no company that is perfect. Someone asked for information and people gave generalized information, positive and negative, not with rose colored glasses. It's better to get some honest thorough answers than some generic snide remarks.
thoughts
The work is hit and miss. Sometimes they are begging for help and other times there is no work available. They shuffle you around from account to account. They have picked up more accounts, but this seems to have created disorganization. The quickest way to get any response is with IM or a phone call.
My thoughts .....sm
This is not an opinion strictly based because I work for Shapin, this is in general....

Yes, we all deserve the best paying rate. But with the economy the way it is today,it just plain ole' sucks! Its not the companys fault because they can't pay top dollar, I blame the economy. We cant even get a decent waged job outside of the home...

Also, I would rather take a lower pay and deal with a company that is very understanding, friendly etc.. Rather than dealing with those holier than tho MT's and QA's. Its not worth the headache anymore... And I at least know, that if something comes up, (personal/emergency) I know that Shapin will be understanding to the situation and I dont have to worry about being yelled at the next day for not being able to commit to the job etc ..

Now, as far as the whole outsourcing matter goes, whether we like it or not, it is there. It's everywhere. We cant do anything about it... Are we supposed to shut off our phone because our CS reps are Indian?? Now before I get bashed for bringing this up, I just want to say that No I am not in total agreement with it, but obviously they are here to stay and we cant get around it....

Thats pretty much my 2 or 3 cents.
my thoughts
I think we pass but when they see how well we did and how many years experience we have, the say we did not because they know we want/deserve good pay which they do not want to pay.  Just my thoughts.
