team at Keystrokes?  I know that Keystrokes has had this in place for a while but it is promote from within.  Can you hire on at Transolutions for the STAR openings? 


Has anyone worked as a Transolutions STAR MT?  I thought they paid low but the ad says differently.  Looking for current information as I did not make the Keystrokes BEST team.

Transolutions STAR team
I'm consider a position a position with Transolutions on their STAR team.  Could anyone give me any information on their STAR team - is it easy to make line rate, how bad are the dictators, et cetera?  Feel free me to email me offline if you would like. Thanks.
Transolutions MTs, what is the STAR team? SM
I was recently at their website and saw STAR team, is that like QA? Thanks.
Star Team

Well, if you like working on multiple accounts with horrible dictators, follow the BOS, plus Transolutions BOS on top of that and working on a computer system from back in the 80s, then it will be a good job for you!!


RE: STAR Team
The STAR team is a group of MTs that basically agree to work on any account they are needed on at the time and they get paid an hourly wage plus I believe extra if they type more than a certain number of lines.  Basically, you don't have a primary or secondary account.  You work whereever you are needed at that time.
I'm a current STAR Team member
I love being on the STAR team.  Even after 17 years of transcribing, I learn so much every day.  My work is certainly not the worst of the worst.  The team basically does short TAT dictations across several hospitals.  As I always say, you get back what you are willing to put into it.  I feel honored to be a part of this team.  We have an awesome supervisor too I might say.  This is definitely a challenging position, but not just all the ESLs or hard work types.  Pretty much the jobs that have a short TAT are filtered into our job queue.
I noticed their listing on the job board...
and was just wondering about them.  Searched the archives and found nada.
Thanks. I have noticed some hits on the job board have over 1000 hits and I am thinking oh my!

Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.

opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
Gold star for you.
My pay was constantly screwed up, constant IMs, they didn't tell anyone I quit and I got IMs/emails demanding I log in for my shift, the owner is unpleasant to say the least although she does put on a good I'm your friend, we're a team show. The insurance as an employee is extremely expensive. As an IC there you also have a set schedule. Hence, not really IC.
wolf star
I have not worked for them personally but I have nothing but bad things like recently no one getting paid on time b/c something happened to the owners account. Also I heard that one of the radiology accounts were just nothing but 10 minute reports back to back. But again that is just hear say.
Wolf Star--saw they have another ad on the job --sm
seekers board. Anyone have any info about them? Seem to post ad pretty frequently.
(Your star employee, I mean - not the above poster!) nm

What? You become a famous movie star?

Yep, elite and STAR=CRAP ACCOUNT-nm

Must be a cloud overhead because the STAR is not SHINING!

There are multiple platforms for rad including Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star, MiSys. Sm
I am on a MiSys account. I have a few friends on RadNet and ExText accounts. All radiology. I think it is the same for Medical Records too.


Meridian and Transolutions.. ESPECIALLY Transolutions

Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.

I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.

Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
Could I ask when you noticed it, and what you noticed,
you noticed, and how long ago you quit?  I'm just trying to figure out what the deal is here.  I love MDI and have always felt lucky to work for them.  I hope they don't take a good company and ruin it. 
I noticed that, as well. (nm)

Has anyone else noticed that

this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring?  First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested.  Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring.  I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.


Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.


Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.


you have now only noticed?
i type freely when im not working (this helps me not think about work, but just do what i want).

so no need to make a big thing out of it if that is what you're trying to do. if you really wanna find something to pick on to make yourself feel real, go ahead, knock yourself out lol
I noticed that too. nm

Same old, same old. No changes noticed at all.

So far I have not noticed

I am disappointed in CyMed.  They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.


noticed it too
First thing after reading this posting, I thought how can she/he be saying this with all those errors in the message.
I noticed that the ad said --sm
People Support Rapid Text. I have heard of Rapid Text. Maybe they changed their name??
noticed
I just thought it was ME!!
I noticed that too!
I had applied to it before it went MIA. I noticed it because I had emailed another MT about it who was also looking and she went to the site and could not find it. I looked again too and it was sure enough gone. I thought I was losing my mind for a minute.
Has anyone noticed that sm

Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like?  This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late.  The first time, ignored and put up with it.  Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work.  Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down.  The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.


Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)


I noticed that as well.

It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle.  It disappeared. 


yes I have noticed!
I am only into the transcription field new somewhat I graduated from my program in May 2005 and have not really started looking for at home until recently. As I had in-house jobs from time I graduated three years ago. This year they came to me emailed me I didn't really go on this site much before now so I wasn't aware of it. I did do a BBB search over 3.5 months ago but I swear nothing came up on them. Yes, I have learned but I do somehow plan to get that money back. Ever hear of rip off report.com? If enough people file a complaint for transam might get somewhere. I lost alot of money out of that and I refuse to let it die just like that. I am now with someone new but I wish I would have known more about this site mtstars 3.5 months ago. Thanks for letting me know though much appreciated!
I noticed it too...
no message (nm).
yes, I have noticed
that too.  what an insult!
Just noticed
The mods will move this to the Gab board so I'm sure I'll have to repost later.
Just noticed this
message. I work for Lee Perfect also.
Yep that's what I noticed...
What a misleading heading US-based MT companies Baloney!!
I have noticed too
It kind of bugs me cuz it makes it seem like they don't think we are smart enough to catch on to a new platform.   It also makes it harder for us to learn new platforms or get the chance if they won't accept you unless you have that prior platform experience.   I personally want to do some VR to learn it so I have that as knowledge but can't because I don't have any experience in it.  But, I do have over 17 years transcription experience which should account for something, both for VR and other platforms.
You know what I have noticed, the ones
that are putting God and family first aren't the ones that are so mean and spiteful on here. Thank you for understanding where I come from. For the rest of you, you should give it a try, God and family, you just might be happier! I will pray for you!
This is what I noticed about VR right away
I post here and have said I have worked on VR now for 4-5 years, time is flying by on me so that is about the time. When working at a hospital, was told going on and then trained on VR inhouse and was told that our pay would be cut as soon as VR was in play which took a very short period of time, less than 1-2 months total. Things that were supposed to be done this way before, seems like the rules relaxed a bit. After VR was in we were outsourced to a MTSO. I am thankful, very thankful, that I got to train inhouse and therefore was not as frightened of VR as some are. It was extremely easy and the platform was good. I personally do not think quality has relaxed any at all for this particular hospital as you better believe it, do something wrong such as get a wrong discharge date and you will hear from them, amongst other things. Maybe the place where this particular person is might start off at the same price but might drop after once trained or knows they can go lower. I very much would doubt any place investigating in such a $$$$$ priced machine hearing from the sales people can save them money in the long run only to have the MTs stay on the same cpl they are making straight typing. I know I get more for straight now than VR.
YES! I have noticed it!
I have noticed it in the last few weeks. It has definitely gone backwards. Glad to hear I'm not the only one seeing this.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on

the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post.  Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.


Thank you,

Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

just noticed their add on careers
I guess they have lowered the pay again.  Now they are hiring in at .075 cpl.  Gee, that much?
true that was what I noticed
with their IM messages. hmmmmm
Sorry, just noticed nobody answered you yet. sm
The benefits are pretty good regarding PTO and holidays.  If you are asking about insurance, the coverage is great with BC/BS, which you can use almost anywhere.  All good providers take it.   Cost depends on how many you are insuring.  If you yourself, it is about $75 per month.  Cost grows for spouse, or 1 dependent, then entire family.  The cost for that is pretty high, but individual is good.
Me neither. I never noticed a difference...
like the above poster said, it's hard to tell that they are even related to Transcend, unless you are on BeyondTXT and get a lot of their e-mails.
I have noticed that some companies
use different names to run ads, perhaps to prevent potential applicants from searching the archives and finding out negative information. It seems suspicious to me when I discover that someone did not use their real company name in the ad, or use a person's name. I have experienced much bait and switch in looking for just the right place to work.
