Left there last year. I hated the
platform and the dictators and voice system horrible.  I was unable to make any money.  QA was a draw depending on who you got.  Good luck.
You can thank DocQScribe for that. I left because of that software. Others say it's fine for them
s
My friend worked there and hated them, but
I guess it just depends.
worked there for a month--hated it. nm

DocQScribe wasn't a good platform for me, so I left. nm

I worked for them for over 5 years and hated to leave.
I just quit in the last 3 weeks. I loved it there.

They don't hate their employees. As far as your Spheris-specific complaints above, found the exact opposite to be true.

They're not going down the tubes; in fact, they are headed toward taking MQ's spot as #1 in the industry. They are #2 currently.

I had many offers to do QA and even go into management but I preferred to control my income by MTing. I made top dollars with that company and they were always working with me.

I can see you did not have a good experience there. Have you ever enjoyed any company you worked for or have you always had these feelings everytime you left one?
The tech support person should be able to help (sm)
I know you have to email the Expander file, but can't for the life of me remember where exactly that file is located. Tech support told me where to look. They will have to convert it, and then will email it back to you and tell you how/where to put it. They are very, very helpful.

I believe you have made an excellent choice, by the way.
Sometimes yes, but sometimes no. I always ask the tech person or the recruiter before hiring. nm

A tech person at Transcend told
that they couldn't believe that anyone would build a platform with code that was so archaic and out of date, with parameters that could not be fixed without rebuilding the whole thing. I've worked on much more reliable platforms. They are out there.
Has anyone LEFT Trans-tech? There have been (sm)
such good things posted here, nothing negative, and I'm curious if anyone has been dissatisfied or left for any reason?  Thanks
I just confirmed with the tech person and the office -- they do NOT offshore sm

and are quite adamant about it.  You should get your facts straight.


And it DOES state at their web site that they do not offshore. I had the link at the bottom of my post.


You really should get your facts straight before posting such things.  So far, i have been very impressed with the company and how I have been treated. 


 


Has anyone here left Trans-Tech or Diskriter, and if
nm
I never worked for MQ...another company with DocQscribe...
nm
Contact said pay was on time but there's a real language barrier with their 1 tech person. nm

More than one person has left MW because they
refuse to take their crap but you know what, they just do not care! I found that out a long time ago but at least I stood up for what I believed in and they didn't have me anymore. Again they just did not care but a co that appreciated excellent help would. They were more into other things rather than their staff.
To person who left MQ (sm)
How did you put in your notice?  Did you e-mail you PS?  Also, did you email human resources or anyone to be sure payroll knew you were leaving?  I'm going to KS - Can't wait!  But have been at MQ many years, and want to leave properly.Thanks!
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm

The HR person took files with her and really messed things up when she left. She was sm
the rudest person I have ever talked to, and Keystrokes is much better off without her.
Ohhhhh, sooooooo true -- Transtech tech people absolutely stink anymore since ____ left. He was the

greatest!  Hated to hear that he had left.  We got some real doozies for tech help now.  The MT ends up training them.  They are clueless as to what to do when we need help.  TRUTH!


They ALWAYS have a BAD attitude in their voice, too -- like we MT's are a bother to them -- thought that is what they get paid for.


You have obviously never worked as a pharmacy tech
Can you rattle off from memory the top 200 frequently written drug names? Can you calculate the rate of an IV drip of a drug based on mixing it into different types of IV solutions based on mg/dL/kg? Have you ever had a report filed against you with your state's Board of Pharmacy because you dispensed a 3 month prescription of a drug and failed to notice that one of the packages was a different strength than the other two, potentially killing a patient? You don't have to have a BS degree to work as a PT.

You can say what you will - but you show how under educated about real business affairs in your posts.

Years of experience for newbies and having a tough time finding jobs? Not when I look at jobs offering 5 cpl and the caliber of the MTs who accept those positions, or when I look at the nationals who are raping the incoming MTs with their mentorship programs...or what the newly merged AAMT/MTIA organization is doing to change how to define a character line because of MQ's legal woes from fraudulent billing practices and the MTSO business leaders who hold positions in the MTIA are mostly offshoring corporate executives.

What our pay should be is no different than that of any other business in this global economy. Did you know that Microsoft has petitioned the US Government to lift the limitation on the number of work visas for highly trained foreign workers because they cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers?

I don't even own a television and I feel a bit more educated in these things than you. Please don't preach to the choir. I understand you are trying to educate others, but you're argument has holes that a truck can drive through.
I worked for Med-Tech Resources many
years ago, went through their in-house OJT program, which was excellent bar none, but only worked for a short while for them because of another transcription opportunity presented to me closer to home (we had to work in-house then). They are a good company, have been around a long time, and I have one friend who has worked with them for years.

Would not hesitate to recommend Med-Tech Resources in Marietta, GA.


Have worked for both. Trans Tech is by far the best choice!! nm

The Indian techs toasted a friend's system when she tried to

Yes, I had contacted tech support and that is how I found out to try the adapter but it never worked
I just wish I knew why they dont just do away with the 9-pin and just either go with a 15-pin or USB.. the 9 is a dinosaur.
LOL...I was going to ask this person where she worked....I was
looking for a job lead.
I knew one QA person who worked FT for
THREE companies during the same hours. I can't do but ONE job. If I do QA correctly, I have to give feedback, do 100% listen, and still make quota. I never even thought of working more than one QA job at a time, but I have since heard of TWO more people who were working two companies full-time at the same time.

Unbelievable!

However, I do not believe these people are who are running the profession into the potty. Again, I believe that the MTSOs are using whatever excuse. If there are a few QA doing more than one FT job, there sure are not that many. Most could not keep their job if they did.

I would not do QA by the line, but I do enough in QA that no one would doubt that I pull my weight.


Can you not see my name? I have worked with this person for over a year

and it would be HER that told all of this to several of us.  We actually could not believe she was not fired for her behavior if she was telling the truth about what was going on.  Now maybe those things she told us were true and maybe they were not.  The point is that she was either blowing smoke then or she is blowing smoke now but she cannot have it both ways.  I hope if she is telling the truth that she is vindicated by the law.  But knowing both parties here,I think that she is an absoulte fruit and it ain't gonna' happen.  I replied to the original post because so many of you jumped in and said, sue, sue when you only heard what the poster chose to make public here and I wonder how many of you know the poster personally or the company's ethics.  I do - and that is why I replied.  Again I say, this is no union job ducky and I just cannot see why you think that any company would have to go to these lengths to get rid of someone they did not want when see you later, good bye, farewell would work just as well and furthermore if all of you could figure out what a giant error it would be for a company to pull that kind of stupid prank, why wouldn't the company be able to see the same thing? Let us know how your unemployment and lawsuit comes out.  I still say karma. 


I worked there as an MT..... was not happy and left.

I worked there for 2 years.  There were a lot of policies there that I did not like.  I left there and found a company that is better suited to me and treats their employees much better.


 


How long have you been there?  I know leaving the comfort of a job is tough but there are much better companies to work for (in my opinon anyway)


I worked for MQ for 12+ years, left in
6/07. Up until 1/07 it was a good place to work. But in 1/07 they started losing accounts and in 6/07 changed the incentive plan to the point I was losing $600 a month, not to mention the inflexibility of schedules, no communication, lack of raises (did not have one in 5 years), etc. I have never once regretted leaving especially after reading the MQ Board. If you just start there and did not go through the changes it might be okay, but if you have a choice to not go there.
I worked for them for 3 months and left. Always
of full time lines, so no sign on bonus. I had an 80% ESL account and I cared more about the quality, so I made less than 900 dollars a payperiod. Great quality, good for them and my conscience, but not enough money to live on, no sign on bonus and no benefits. I left for a company where I am already far exceeding 900 dollars a payperiod with no sweat. BTW: No incentive or good QA bonuses at Transcend, so that was no help. No differential either. They do pay overtime, but that is not so great when you are trying to make sure you understand multiple foreign accents. Good luck to you.
I too worked for Milner and left sm

2 years ago.  I experienced alot of the same treatment the orgiinal poster experienced.  Everyones situation is different but don't discount anyone's experience.  Just because one MT had a good experience doesn't mean everyone will and visa versa.

I worked there for 2 years and am glad I left
However, I have several friends that still work there, love it and probably will never leave. I personally choose not to work for a company that outsources overseas. Just my opinion though.
Worked there for 2 yrs and left a couple months ago.
Couldn't take working with unqualified people any longer. A very unprofessional company.


Have worked for them both. American MTs get what is left over. They pick first.
nm
Been here about a month, but worked for them 3 years ago and never should have left.
I left the first time cuz DH (now my EX-DH) was less then cooperative to say the least.

I LOVE it here.
I worked there and left, recentily went back and
this is where I will hopefully retire from.  I went from company to company and was never happy with any of them.  MQ works for me.  Very happy that I went back!
I worked for them recently for a few weeks and left because of SM
low/no work. No hard feelings.
I wasn' screaming...I left MQ after 8 years and worked for MDI-MD
for 1 month before I finally went to where I am now.  I just asked if anyone else got theirs.  I got mine from MQ and now I have to wait for 2 more.  It was just a generalized question, not accusatory at all.  What a jerk!
I worked there for over a year...left because of lack of work...
one months lots of work, the next three months no work, so on and so forth...when there is a little extra work they do a big hire and once again the faithful MTs who stick by them have no work...I have been gone for over a year and it is still the same way...
Tired: Has worked picked up at FN. Used to work there and left for WX. sm
Would kind of like to go back. Loved the gang; I used to be a YOGer. Had to leave about 1-1/2 years ago because of no work. Still mostly IC? Thanks.
For radiology, Keystrokes is the best. I worked at MQ for 8 years and left in January. sm
Wish I had done it two years ago. Lots of work, easy accounts, great team leads! I am making less per report but more each check because of better account with more work available!
I worked in acute care and left due to lack of work.
My primary was just overflow, though they didn't tell us that.  I had followed the account from another company and there should have been 3 times the work.  Every week I was asking for a new account because they kept giving me accounts that were evidently overlow or otherwise very low volume accounts and I still wasn't getting 20 hour/week. 
Have you considered radiology tech or lab tech?
A lot of the credits you have acquired for nursing transfer to both of those programs. Probably a little less stressful.

I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.

I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way!  This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for?  Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa?  Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
HATED IT!...nm
xxx
Hated it!
I don't even know why I stayed with them as long as I did.  There was hardly ever any work.  I would ask to be placed on another account for more work, but the other accounts had no work as well?!! No direct deposit.  My paycheck was never calculated correctly and it was hell trying to get the money I was actually owed.  Having to log every single job you do and every single mistake found in the job plus calculating the line and character count at the end of the day was just ridiculous.  I really have nothing good to say about this company.
