Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
Guess you are happy
working 2 jobs!! Guess thats what its come down to these days to make a decent living doing this, and you call that content? You must not have a life outside of work.
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

I guess I am just not that great...
at learning new accounts. Got a lot on my plate and learning new accounts over and over again stresses me out. I guess its my problem. Three is about all I can handle, and I still have to keep referring back to the specs. Glad it works out for you. Wish I could handle more, but just can't take on more at this time. I guess I would be up for it if I really thought there would be work on them, but at this point, I am worn out. Came from a different company with same problem and had 6 accounts there, all with no work, before I finally left.
Great ... I just accepted a position with them. Guess this should sm
prove interesting ... LOL. 
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
I guess I have been lucky to have worked for 3 great companies. The only problem with the 2 before
is that they both were sold to companies that were not U.S. only and I refuse to work for any company the sends work offshore.
I am happy at Keystrokes and know that others are too. I have gotten everything promised to me, even though I must admit that I do not ask for much. I just want to do my work and leave my desk when done and then get paid for what I did.
I hope you find a great company that fits your needs. It must be horrible to be burnt enough times that you have to doubt everyone. I feel like that in my love life (divorced 3 times).
The happy MTs at the great companies
are to busy working to post on the board, that's why you see all the negative. You see I'm on here, wondering the same thing myself!
If you're happy there great, but it is
the worst company I've ever worked for.
Great if you are happy with status quo and
than that. That's your choice - one could say that this is just a job for you to be with your son, while for many of us it is a career as well. The vast majority of us want more than decent money. Decent money is great, but not progressing any further year by year is not acceptable to lots of us. We want what we deserve. We aren't slacking, we're working hard and want to be compensated accordingly. I don't mind that you slack as long as you don't mock us out for wanting more out of MTing than you do. That's the point. i could point out that those with your attitude and lack of wanting more has been largely responsible for the bosses to take advantage and -- punish - the rest of us for wanting our just rewards. As long as so many women are happy with their jammies and just decent money, as long as they can slack off, it damages the rest of us. This is a real job, after all. It really is if you just look at it as a professional.
Very happy. Great supervisor and more than enough work. sm
Pay is good compared to other companies. Plus, pay is always on time.
I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
I love it there. Tons of work, great people. I am 100% happy.

Yes it is! I got mine today -- think it is great. I'm happy to be part of such an amazing compa
I feel like I have FINALLY found my home. :-)
Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.
x
And I don't have to guess what company..nm
My guess the name of the company is ---
The 'Rajinder Gupta MT Company.'
Or perhaps 'Pramila Singh'?
Or perhaps 'Raja Ramadani'?
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Let me guess, company started with a K?
That is determined by company. I guess
the recruiter does other things within. She/he wouldn't be doing it if it was not part of the job.
are you going to tell us the company or are we supposed to guess?..nm
x
guess you are an expert on the company I work for??
The more we type, the bigger our so-called incentive. Few lines, less money. Funny how that seems to work!
Sorry you feel that way. I guess it is hard to believe that a company sm
can be so great, but they truly are. I have been doing medical transcription for over 30 years now, and they are some of the most caring people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. True, the line rate is not astronomical -- I have definitely made more -- but the benefit package is great, and it is relatively easy to achieve the upper tiers of the incentive. And the bonuses they offer are really nice.
In these days of companies lying to employees, treating them badly, etc., they do indeed sound too good to be true, but so far my experience has only been a positive one. However, I have only been there for 2 months now, so I suppose I am still in the honeymoon phase, but I would not hesitate to recmomend them to anyone.
Good luck to you. Hope you find a company that makes you as happy as I am with TransTech.
Well I guess I should have said good company not job. No I don't expect someone
to just hand me a good one. I am very capable of finding my own jobs. And for your information, I have a good full-time MT job that I have been with for the past 4 years. I'm looking for a part-time job with a good company. Sorry I hit a nerve with you. That is exactly why I have never posted on these boards. Ask a simple question and get snotty answers!!! Have a nice day.
Yes..it is the same person/company. Guess they moved
Check This out.

There is a lot of negatives in the archives, moving to another state doesn't change that.
LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.
If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
Well just imagine being even happier when you contact the company to follow up, and guess what? sm
You actually get the job because you show an avid interest in a job with the company. On the other hand, you could be just happy to know that you passed the test.
very happy with my new company so far
Well, I've only been there a week but I love my new company so far.. so much more than the one I just left..what a nightmare..but I just started with a new company..and yes, they're hiring..and they have both escription and regular transcription accounts, hospital or clinic, PLENTY of work, they pay insurance, PTO, holidays..they're flexible with schedules, very helpful and friendly..and they have direct deposit and pay weekly not biweekly. :O))
Happy with my IC company!!!
Hello, I am an IC MT that is very happy with the company i am contracted with. This post is to serve 3 purposes. 1) to try to help out a few good MTs looking for a good company, and 2) to help out the company as it is need of some good, qualified and dedicated MTs, and 3) (in all honestly) to make a little referral $$$! 
Their clientelle and workload is increasing and finding good MTs is a hard process. They are not an IC that offers 6 cents and wants perfect MTs...They pay decent, given the trend of this industy... typically 7-9 cents, i believe. They really take care of their good MTs by verbal praise and $$$$.
I am on an all ortho account that could really use a few good ortho MTs that know their terminology and focus on quality. About 80% of the dictators are great, the 20% are not terrible --there are many other accounts available besides ortho as well.. but it will take applying and talking with the recruiter to find out what is all available at the time because positions fill up fast and new positions become available at times.
Their platform is pretty simple while allowing some great features. You type in Microsoft Word 2003 or higher. Use Expresscribe (which is free) for audio. Need BOS 3rd edition and probably a good spellchecker. Need your own computer and software. Pay is always on time and accurate. Incentive after 1000 lines a day. Holiday pay. Strictly IC status as of now.
This is mainly clinic work. full time requires 1000 lines per day, Monday-Friday. Some part-time 500 lines per day positions are available. With most accounts, Friday's work is due on Monday. 20 hour TAT. Flexibility on a day-to-day basis. You get assigned providers, or a smaller assigned pool.
Training is fairly quick, and depending on your learning abilities, the process of learning the templates and creating your own shortcuts can make you productive fairly quickly.
Well, I answered most of the questions... however, if you have more (of course which company is it?), please email me and I will give you the link to the company if you provide me your name for a referral.
I am not a recruiter, just a happy MT looking to help out some fellow MTs, help out the company I am loyal to, and make a little referral $.
Small company GREAT COMPANY
Axolotl is a WONDERFUL company with great benefits and competitive pay. We have maybe 100 MTs but are growing rapidly.
She has EVERY RIGHT to post that she is happy with her company!!
You think you and the rest of the people who are all about negative negative negative are the only ones allowed to post...you aren't too sharp are ya?
No company is the perfect fit for everyone, but I am happy. sm
I started in October 2006, and after 30+ years as an MT, I hope I have found my home. The work seems plentiful (I have only had to go to my secondary account a few times) and the people in management seem to genuinely care about you and want to help. The incentive tier is easy to achieve, and the benefits are pretty good, I think.
Regardless of what you choose, good luck!
I'm generally happy with my company. SM
I have great supervisor, lots of PTO, helpful coworkers. I have all the work I can do on a consistent basis and no one bothers me.
One problem: OUR PAY KEEPS GOING DOWN.
Thanks for listening.
An account/company you are happy with, and the $$
I also live in a remote area. Can't make as much or have the flexibility elsewhere.
They are a very good company. I went back and am happy I did.
Not cheerleading just being honest. They have always treated me extremely well.
Outstanding company. NEVER been so happy! no pay issues EVER. nm
nm
Happy Camper, which company did you receive it from?
Anxiously awaiting gift from TT; hope it is their usual in a larger amount. Don't need cookies, what-nots, etc. as some companies send to their MT's. Love that monetary stuff!
Great company!
I am very happy working for MDI. I have worked for them full time for a few years and part time before that. It is a great company to me and it's very easy for me to be able to call and talk to my TL or anyone above her if I have an problems/concerns/questions. There are lots of negative postings about them on this site, but have not had the bad experiences that they have had. My experience has been nothing but positive!!!!
Great company! (sm)
Good pay, good accounts, flexibility, best MTSO I have ever worked for in my 20 years as an MT. Just started with them a little over a month ago, & couldn't be happier! IC status only, though, but that's not a problem for me. Anything else I can tell you, just let me know
They are a great company!
QA'd their work for a short while, but it was a second job and couldn't keep up working 2 jobs, so quit at JLG. They are a small, family-like company. The owner is an MT and has had offers to sell out to the big boys. but she loves her company and her employees and will not sell out. If you have a chance to work for them, you will not be sorry!
GREAT company...sm
They are friendly staff as stated, pay is good, but no benefits. But the pay, plenty of available work, and understanding of the company makes up for lack of benefits. I have had family illness over the past several months and they have been understanding. I feel bad for not being as dependable as I was when I first started, but they have really hung in there for me, so I am hoping to return the favor and help them out as much as I can. GREAT company. You cannot go wrong. I was thinking about looking for another job because they have no benefits, but they are just too good to risk that. So, never again, will I even think about that. You will not go wrong with them. I have been with them almost one year and they are as nice as they were from the beginning!
Great company.
I actually wanted to work for them, but I failed their online quiz. The question lines and answer boxes were so close together, I am sure I marked the wrong boxes just because it was impossible to differentiate one question from another. I have been an MT for 18 years. I knew the answers to every one of those questions, except for maybe 1 or 2 I was confused on. I don't know if it was timed or not. If it was timed, maybe that is why I failed. I did the test in between phone calls. Good luck with that!
Great company
I have worked with them since the company started and they have been GREAT!! I can give you names of LOTS of other MTs that agree.
you will see bad listings about them on here but think about the people that it is from--fired and mad people.
AccuStat pays on time and the people are just great to work with.....I can't express that enough!!!
great company
AccuStat is a great company in my opinion. They know your name and do not treat you like a number. Their pay is on time. Their managers are great and their accounts are good too. They are simply a great company to work for.
TRS seems to be a great company
I was slated to start with them. I accepted the position and then decided not to go with them because I could not afford to live with the salary offered. I spoke with Kathy after I decided not to take the position and she seems very honest,polite,and interested in the MTs. I did not have a bad experience, I just declined the position because I could not afford to live with the salary offered.
Great company
I have been with Meridian since October. I get wonderful feedback, great QA people. Pay is every 2 weeks and very fair. I am on MedRite and I love it here.
They are a great company sm
Super flexible scheduling, very nice people to work for, and I always have work. I use EX Text, and I personally do about 7000 lines every two weeks. I do not remember what the line requirement is. I do not know if they are hiring, but I am extremely happy here.
