All of that aside, when it comes down to doing the real work, many old and new MTs at MQ experience multiple accounts with multiple client profiles to read which cuts down on productivity. Even if you get 15 cents a line it doesn't matter if you have to waste time reading CPs and never becoming familiar with one account. JMO also.

What level work was that for? sm
Clinic or acute care? What level? TIA
Level 3 work
Does anyone else feel this way? I'm a longtime acute care MT. I always work my schedule, including weekends and holidays, have 98% to 99% accuracy. I left MQ because of the changes; for years I averaged 200-250 lph and net $600. per week. Then they changed platforms and I got nothing but ESL, mealymouths and static. My income dropped in half and my stress level doubled. I went to a company that has gotten rave reviews on this board and was put on a good account with fair line counts. Then it began running out of work just as I was starting to see decent money. They put me on a backup account (which is all I've been getting for days now, not my primary) and it is nothing but ESLs. I KNOW there are decent dictators at every facility, and I'm willing to do my share of the bad ones, but ALL BAD? What gives? Do they WANT me to quit? I'm not complaining so don't jump all over me. I'm just curious if others are noticing this too.
I left MQ and went to work for them. I am level 8 SM
and on an account with lots of ESLs and started out doing DS which for me, not very productive. I put in my 2 weeks notice, and told my team leader why.
Entry-level work
What companies like to hire recent grads other than Focus and Encompass?
Entry-level work
Thank you!
What kind of work types does Level 4 do at
x
They have a low level 4, high level 4 and level 5.

I wonder what the work looks like with entry level MTs bouncing around in these accounts. Well, they
MQ will just continue to lose accounts and there will be less and less work. The entry level MTs cannot produce nearly what the experienced MTs can I know this from my supervisor and they send everything to QA because they arent sure of themselves so does this make sense. Not to me.
If you do not comply with their PC check on your personal computer, Acusis will close your work pool

Level 2 is clinic and level 3
Level 1 is ER work. It's ER, but I get a great line count. Plenty of macros and normals, we are paid for all of them.
Ditto- work for the same company.
Looking for a better place to work at the moment. Fed up with their crap.
ditto, I work at Webmedx too. SM
They really value their people if you do your schedule as promised and are not a slacker like some.
Ditto...It's a great place to work (nm)
Ditto! First 2 weeks with company- no work!
Looks like I will be going to work in-house with an hourly wage. I love being home, but I can't afford to sit around and barley make a couple bucks a day. This is ridiculous! What's happening right now? Why are we all out of work. I have asked for more accounts, but low volumes across the board...
Ditto. No work here on multiple accounts. nm

Ditto. Please don't buy a computer for work from this company. I left (sm)
this company because of lack of work.
Ditto that ditto..ESLs drove me out too...nm
nm
Ditto, ditto, ditto. My experience exactly.
I have never typed so fast and made so little in my life except for at Amphion. Good for supplemental income but not if you really need some money.
Posts from last yr said work ran out often. And they might be

About 3 wks ago, there were posts saying they run out of work all the time. nm

After reading all the posts about MQ and no work,
nationals. Almost every single large national that I know of has benefits tied to production and a clause in their contract that they cannot be held accountable if there is no work. Doesn't it make it convenient for them not to have to pay insurance benefits if THEY overhire and there is consistently not enough work to go around? This is the same thing that happened at Transcend. After all, how much does it really cost the company to overhire when all they have to do is supply the computers, which are a business expense write-off anyway?
Did you not read all the posts about no work, that if
you had bills to pay this wasn't the job you would want?
I have. The company I work for now posts when
they have openings, but I was hired before they started posting. I'm going on 6 years now with this company. I have also received 2 other offers from smaller companies that don't post.
TransTech still very low on work? No posts lately.
Don't know if the grass is going to be any greener over there if there is no work, as previous posts suggest. Can anyone provide an update on that situation? Sounded pretty dire.
Are the posts below - running out of work at KS (sm)
seems lately this has been happening a lot - and I thought they did not do that at KS - any input from MT.
After seeing all of the no work posts here, I'd think they probably got a lot of angry sm
emails, calls, etc. I used to work for them and thought they were a great company, but even a couple of years ago, the work would dry up and you had to work a 24-hour day practically to get all of your lines in. I still have an email from D that told me to work extra but not write it down on my time sheet. I'm tempted sometimes to show it to the labor board and see what they have to say about it. Probably not worth my time and effort … just a funny thought sometimes. I have moved on and the more I read lately with the VR and all that, it seems that was a good thing. For those still there, I hope things turn around. Good luck.
Old posts said easy to work for, but your pay would never go over 7 or 8 cpl depending on
s
Look 4 posts down regarding nosedive in work at MedScribe....
I don't work there so I don't know what's going on. I just remembered the post 4 down from yours inquiring about an apparent nosedive in workload.
Old posts say they're nasty and run out of work often. And they don't want you earning too muc

Check thru the recent posts here that have them running out of work. nm

Old posts also say your pay is docked if client is unhappy with your work. No thanks. nm

Look at previous posts here. It's said to be a terrible place to work! nm

Posts from 2005 said it was a very "unstable" place to work for
s
Posts from the last 2 yrs said not a good place to work. Lots of MTs
s
Thanks. In the older posts, it looks like people were running out of work a lot...SM
Is this still the case? These posts are mostly from 2005 and 2006, so they are really old. Are the flexible with scheduling? Do they pay on time and treat their MTs well? I just want to know before I even think about applying! Thanks!
Old posts say the owner is nasty and they run out of work all the time. Don't like workaholic

Old posts show they want 1200 lpd and that the work load was very uneven. nm

Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC

Years ago posts said they were extremely picky & hard to work for. Haven't
s
I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly. I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me. I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work. I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

level 1 - mt
I need to be taken under someones wing i am a stuggling MT trying to improve my skills. My accuracy level is less than 90 percent can someone help me get going and get out of this catch 22. I only have dial -up access. Nothing else is available.
I'm a level 8. sm
I tested very well and negotiated the level 8 rate. I honestly do not know how common it is, but I'd encourage you to give it a try. =)
You would probably be a level 8 or 9, between 9-10 cpl. nm

Top pay level
is .10/line. There are additional incentives such as for weekends, etc.

Entry level
Has anyone received a response from the entry level position on a pediatric account with Medtransolutions?
entry level
I'm thinking about getting my MT certificate and need some advice. Is it hard to find work as an entry level mt? Also, does it matter where I get my certificate (at home or reg classroom)? Do most companies have set hours or do you work when you want? I'm really excited about this new career! Any advise?
level of testing
Can someone tell me type of radiology testing given by Keystrokes, (written, typing test, verbal)...do they have benefits...take out taxes, etc?. I am thinking seriously about applying if only to do part-time work for a while to see how things pan out.
