Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
if this is not an owner post I will eat my hat! I don't even work there and don't buy this po

Yes, I work there...The owner and QA and everyone else is very nice.

The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
Old posts say the owner is nasty and they run out of work all the time. Don't like workaholic

Decent place to work - the owner is fair and reasonable.
I have known GG, the owner, for a long time. I worked for her as an IC and never had a problem, except for the no work syndrome, but that was about 5 years ago. Hope they are busier now.
If I had to go back and work for a company, JLG would be the place.
I am a remote employee directly for a hospital now, so no need to work for a company.
I can vouch for JLG anytime. Pay is always on time, their staff is friendly and professional, never had a problem with QA.
Wow. This board continues to stun me. I don't even work there and feel bad for the owner. sm
I have a few friends who work for Keystrokes and have had the owner do a lot for them. They make good money and she has helped one of them out of a bind more than once. Should my hospital ever outsource, I would go running to Keystrokes.
Why is it ok to attack a person on here? Why must everyone be nasty so often?
It seems that every company has people like you that come on and go on and on. Why? Don't you have anything better to do?
I would hope that there is a way for companies to be warned about so many of the trolls on these boards. I'm sure they talk among each other and know who you all are. At least I hope they do. As a hospital supervisor, I would hate to have you work under me.
Pretty sure they do have some clinic work (nm)

Pretty soon they'll have us pay them to work
It's the same with most companies anymore. Here's how to tell a lot about the company before you aggravate yourself with training, etc.
Who has the most job offers posted? How frequently do they post them? If you see a company trying to hire all day, every day of the week they have a problem, because those they do hire do not stay.
A position that has to be posted so frequently is not a job worth having. Someone left that job for a reason, and it's probably the same reason you won't want that job either.
Tell me, does this sound like a job you would want?
IC at 6 cents a line - You have to give them a schedule when you work, and if you aren't working they call and beat you over the head?
Pretty soon, as I said, they will have us working for free, or worse we will owe them money to sit and type all day. LOL.
OSi, pretty good to work for (sm)
But the insurance is expensive at least for family coverage. Work flow goes up and down, it just depends on the account. They give secondary accounts if primary account runs low. Everyone there is really helpful and nice for the most part.
I'm pretty sure we work for the same company
Does the company name start with a V? Does this QA power-monger's name start with a V? I started with them about 15 months ago, also. After 1 week of QA, I felt very comfortable with the quality of work I was sending them, so I stopped sending blank-free reports to QA. It was that simple. No one stated I did anything wrong. Now, only reports with blanks go to QA. (E-mail me).....
They used to do subcontract work for MQ. Pretty sure that
DSG is nothing like MQ.
I edit Indian work and it's pretty bad
it is still cheaper for the company to pay me an american person.... to edit i suppose...but let me tell you, if i did not, they would not be able to print any of the stuff i edit
The work is pretty darned heavy now!
Seems a pretty good place to work. SM
I do sometimes run out of work. So far, I only have 2 accts, but it seems when my primary is out, so is my secondary, so I'll be trying to pick up more accts. Compared to my past work, I do not find that they have high ESL, pretty normal. I am a level 4. I think they may have 5 levels. Pay seems okay, even better than most. Good luck.
Oracle is a pretty good company to work for but,
their home-grown software makes it difficult to get a good line count.
Which account do you work on? Neurology seems pretty much like normal
The work flow is pretty good. It gets low around the end of the pay period. sm
I work on the DSG-2 side and the sound is pretty good. Rumor has it we will be getting a new account soon but I don't know that for sure.
Again, we make pretty big concessions to be in our line of work ...
First of all, I'd like to see this 'lucky enough to work out of the comfort of our own homes' stuff abolished. Many, many professions now work at home, and they do NOT accept a substandard quality of treatment because of that.
I know dozens upon dozens of coders, graphic designers, and support staff who work at home - BY THE HOUR - and get paid for the time in which they are working (or the time in which they are scheduled to be working, but have no work to do).
Let's say I make 9 cpl doing clinic notes (which is a really good gig, if I did that, but that's definitely NOT standard), and I make $19 an hour.
However, the first half hour that I work is answering work emails, starting my day, gathering the info I need, etc. Then, there's another half hour throughout my day that I spend answering emails or instant messages. Then, there's an hour or two during my day where I'm out of work because the company has over hired. Then, at the end of my day, I spend another half hour tallying my line counts, finishing up emails, and filling out a time sheet.
How much am I actually making per hour now?
Now, as a true fact, back when I started in transcription 12 years ago, I did start at 9 cpl. And I had an IC job that paid 13 cpl.
Earlier this year, I had to look for a new company to work for, and I was blatantly told several times by several 'reputable' companies that they would absolutely not start anyone, regardless of experience, over 8 cpl.
In no other profession would you find this, except maybe (MAYBE) fast food or waitressing.
The bitterness many MTs feel makes sense. We are asked to do many things outside of our work time that brings our actual hourly wages down. We are asked to sit for hours and scrounge for work, all without pay. We are consistently stripped of benefits like holiday pay and vacation pay. We are never rewarded for the years we have put into our careers or the knowledge we've gained because of that. We are very, very occasionally thanked (in mass emails) for the hard work we put in, and then immediately asked to flex our time regardless of the lives we have planned in order to suit the needs of our company. Our only hope for more money is to work more hours, or to somehow make our fingers faster and the dictators more audible. We are never, ever able to be dependent on our paychecks, because our line counts vary paycheck to paycheck due to fluctuating work. And, more than anything, we're treated as numbers (by many, but not all), and expendable because we're faceless, personality-less drones.
But it's our fault as much as it's the companies' faults. We've allowed ourselves to be treated this way. We've told ourselves things like, 'Oh well. At least I can do this in my pajamas.'
Can you imagine a coder in a hospital being asked to leave for three hours a day on random days of the week, only to be asked to come back and work those three hours at some time after 7 p.m.? Can you imagine an accountant being told that they are not to conduct company business like responding to or sending emails during their work hours, and that they have to do it on their own time without pay?
I don't condone whining, and I don't think dwelling in negativity is the answer to our problems. I also agree that the complaining can be easily misconstrued as selfish.
But I DO congratulate those who are constructively doing something to elevate our profession to a new level. Even if it backfires, even if it's all for naught, and even if it's misguided, at least it's not just sitting around and complaining anymore.
This is pretty common. From what I have seen, a lot of recruiters work from home not from the offic
The company that I work for has just pulled recruiting in to the office. Our recruiter was wonderful, and we had many compliments about her. The problem is that the office is where everything is in terms of paperwork, schedules, etc. The need for additional transcriptionists on an account often goes through the office first, the need to replace someone due to termination or resignation goes through the office first, etc. Our recruiter did great with what she was given (and was very, very organized) but we made the decision to pull it in house for control over paperwork, schedules, etc.
We have had a few complaints that she conveyed information to them that was not correct or a little too rigid, but that was because she was 1500 miles away and if something happened in the office to affect that, the information was not always conveyed real time. With everyone in one place, it is easier to hold discussions, compare resumes and have everyone on the same page.
Our recruiter was salary, not paid commission on hires. That might make the difference. Either way, I doubt that a recruiter would purposely mislead someone as that would cause rapid MT turnover which would then send up red flags.
Believe it or not, companies want to KEEP their transcriptionists, not have revolving door!
Webmedx work pretty low. Typical for this time of year? sm
I'm fairly new, so just wondering. Having come from the evil Q, it makes me nervous. While at the Q and a couple other companies, this is not the time of year I typically ran out of work--Christmas, T-giving, 4th of July, yes, now, no. Thanks.
It's been pretty consistent for me, but I work for two companies and type several doctors
and even with that, sometimes it gets slow, and then when it picks up, it is really hectic. It's so hard with this type of work to get it just right :)
Is the work flow pretty steady on the evening shift
n
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
it USED to mean owner (sm)
back when most MT services were little and there was a real owner. Now that there are so many huge multinationals with no owner to take personal responsibility for the service, it's sort of transmogrified to mean organization, but that's redundant.
Just take it as meaning a service. Once again, AAMT, worthless as ever, ruins the language.
no changes that i know of. Same owner.

and this is the new owner
 My god you people are so gullable. That picture could have come from anyones kitchen!!!
How do you know? Are you the owner?
They are obviously losing something if there's no work. Have you been with them since they started or something? Do you know of every account MDI has or what? How can you make a blanket statement like that?
I can't believe people sit frustrated about no work and don't move on; that's just plain silly. There are tons of companies hiring; get on with it already! Come on show your stuff to a company that will appreciate you and not OVERHIRE!
Owner? sm
I thought someone named Tracy owned Net-Med?
Should be owner's...sorry. nm

A few posts on here say the owner is a mean one. nm
,
Owner is snarky.

As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Oh, okay. I thought it was okay because the owner
people are saying DEROGATORY things about her. I was saying GOOD things and mine was deleted.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.
Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.
I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.
Walk a mile in my shoes!
You said you spoke to the owner.
You are not credible.
owner, not organization.
Remember the Owner
I remember reading another board a few years back....maybe quite a few years...and I remember distinctly J. Weight's name. I know she was one of the most argumentative and flaming people out there. Stay away.
Why would you talk to owner?
Perhaps she is an account lead. That, or a buttkisser.
Why I spoke with the owner - sm
SHE called me, SHE hired me, SHE promised me a job at a certain rate, SHE gave me all kinds of excuses why the job never materialized and then I never heard from anyone again. Enough said.
I also spoke with the owner for the same
exact reasons. She called me, she hired me, she emailed me daily, she offered me account after account, which never materialized while I did crap work just waiting for her promises to be kept. Guess what? They never were!
Owner of a company
I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
The owner will encourage you to
talk to her current staff, etc., but that is definitely biased. An anonymous board like this is is a safer.
and........ the owner of this company
is subcontracting work out for Medware. Medware and herself are one in the same.
....starting with the owner! lol
