I love the company too. I have a different primary

account that has been running low, but just when I think I might need a backup account, the primary kicks back in.  I think these smaller companies are the way to go these days.

your company takes overflow or has a primary account
I really have no idea if this applies to your current situation, but when I worked at a hospital and a large MTSO took our overflow, some of the girls I worked with had no qualms about leaving (or perhaps assigning, can't really remember now) the horrible doctors to the MTSO. We had a monitor that showed all the jobs waiting in queue, and they would (or could, anyway) go down the list assigning themselves the good ones, thereby leaving the bad ones to the MTSO. I worked radiology and everything was in-house for that, but I would watch the acute care ladies do this.
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Love this company - want to retire with this company...sm
Been with them for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love them. I make my living with them - I don't do this for fun money. I think the dictators are pretty decent - you will always have your good and bad ones. You just have to get used to them. I love the account I am on - been with the same one since I started. They are a VERY fair company to work for.
I love this company
I've been with them since last June and went with them full-time as an MT in September. (Left a supervisory job with another company). Insurance is very good and much better (and cheaper) than my last job. I NEVER have had any problems with No Work except at the usual times like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm on a hospital account, so maybe that's why (as opposed to a clinic-type account).
Me too - I love it AND the company
nm
Yes, same company. I love MDI-FL
It is always very busy. I am happyw with the company

Hard to find a company these days that does not offshore at least some of their work.
I love this company.
I love this company. No pools, assigned accts.  Best support I have had experience with, easy, productive platform.  Paid training.  Not the highest payer but fast platorm and can use Expanders extensively.  Benefits for full time.
The company I love
I love MDI! Great company--wonderful liaison, superb tech support, kind and intelligent QA, no offshoring, respect and decency. They are highly selective in hiring, but if you can get on, you will be happy!
QT!!! QT!!! GREAT COMPANY!! LOVE IT!!!
NM
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above.  Thanks.
I love the company - it's great.
Pay is on time, nice people.
Love it there, best company I have ever worked for, NM

I'm not bitter at all. And I love my company and my
job. Just made an objective commentary on how all the cheerleading for this company can strike some as cautionary. And your overreaction still confirms to me that something is fishy with these posts... That does not equate to bitterness, but rather, wisdom...And I never said I believe negative posters but not positives - you're reading a lot more into my simple statement.
I wouldn't say I LOVE my company
but I am satisfied at this point because I am not running out of work, the platform I am on is easy and counts fairly and the dictators are about what you find everywhere -- some hard to nearly impossible, some easy, mostly middle of the road to good.  My pay per line is VERY low for my experience (18 years) but if I stay focused I make a good hourly wage.  QA is very hands-off, but accessible if they are needed.  Did I mention that I don't run out of work?  I have to realize that times have changed and I may never make $30-50 an hour again.  My company is stable, but they off-shore.  One more thing -- I don't run out of work.  :)   Feel free to e-mail.
No not badmouthing company at all -love KS
Just something been going on for just a few days. I thought maybe somebody else out there could shed some light. I work nights so when I have work coming in that was dictated that morning not done and it skips around, thats kinda strange. I dunno maybe somebody assigning at the facility is what I suspect to get those short and horrible dictators out of the way. Really hurting my line count though. Will definitely talk to the lead if it doesn't stop.
would love to know what company you work for now
nm
Do any of you love the company you work for?

Please let me know if you work for a great place and why you like them.  I currently work for Medware and I'm unhappy.  I have applied at Axolotl, Webmedx, Encompass, SoftScript, eTransPlus, ATSI.  Do you know anything about these companies? 


Any advice is appreciated! :)


Are you saying your misery would love company (LOL)?-nm
.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

I love the one where the MT was bashing a company for not contacting her..

Love my platform...hate the company
I currently work for DSG and love DocQscribe.
I just love this company! I have only great things to say
about them.  Pay on time, very nice and helpful people, excellent company!
I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm

I just went broke because of a company and would love to share their name
www.ripoffreport.com

We take a job expecting some semblance of constancy. We are not teenagers living at home.

And I have yet to meet an MT who does this for free, as a hobby, 40 hours a week.

Here we are, in the U.S., where insurance is expensive, the economy is mutilated and dirt cheap labor is just across the deep blue sea.

Some whine more than others but this Gourdpainter, I have been reading her for a long time, and from the tone of her posts, she is not a (an?) habitual complainer. She is helpful and considerate in her posts to new MTs and others who have a question.

United we Stand, Divided we Fall.

Just like the coal miners back in Pennsylvania, the company will let you eat coal dust all day long to save themselves the cost of ventilation, and then fight to not have to pay for the medical costs of an aging coal miner with black lung and ashen colored skin. No one made him go down there, I know, I know, but a man has got to feed his family. Work is work, you take what your skills will get you.

Fair enough - Some huge corporation is going to sue someone over a thread on the internet. This is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Have you read message forums elsewhere on here? There are disparaging remarks made about everything under the sun.

Word of mouth travels far and wide, and so does the truth.

So give us a break and let us make enough money to live a respectable life in this job which we do with steadfast dedication if we make it over 3 years.

Kindness reaps kindness. Consideration for the MT - For instance:

Supervisor: Gee Susie, work load is light these days, and your paycheck reflects that. How are you doing? Are you able to make ends meet? How can we remedy this in house or outside of this company so you can have an income you can rely on?

MT: Thank you. I would appreciate that very much. I am down to a few nickels after I pay the bills and am beside myself with worry. The anxiety sends me to MTstars where I vent in hopes of finding others who understand the DREAD AND FEAR I AM EXPERIENCING because I WORK ALONE ALL DAY LONG,without my comrades to take breaks with or have lunch with WHERE THIS TYPE OF VERBAL EXCHANGE WOULD ORDINARILY TAKE PLACE.


Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for.  There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well.  They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance.  Am I getting rich off this?  No.  Am I paid reasonably well?  Yes.  Would I recommend Transtech?  Absolutely!
I love the company I work for and I just wanted to share
that with you all so that if you are not happy, realize there is hope out there.  I worked for Healthscribe/Spheris for over 2 years until I found this position.  I am a SE for MDI out of Maryland and I make 10 cents per 65 character line including spaces.  This is a great smaller company that does not offshore.  I am left alone to do my work but I have somebody there if I need any questions answered, etc.  QA is wonderful too.  They didn't dump me into an account full time, they let you ease into your account over a 2 week period doing 5 reports a day so you can work your other job until you are taken off of QA.  I was off QA in a week.  My account is great, the platform is great (Bayscribe), production Expander is user friendly.  For all you unhappy MTs, there is hope out there. 
Glad you love your company. Hope you stay there - LOL

I would love to get a card from my company...and a holiday incentive...

Sounds like you have it pretty good.   I didn't get squat from my company, and there are times when I do not even get a paycheck on time.  If your company is making a profit and able to pay you on time and offer an incentive, and is not owned by some private equity firm that may go under -- you are very lucky.  


primary
My primary is on that list as well but we're still going strong and hard so not sure if I believe that or not. Also a local hospital is on it and I know for sure they don't outsource.
new primary

I was given a different primary once. It was a brand new account. I tried it, and really didn't like it, and when I asked to go back to my old primary they said that was perfectly fine and put me back without any hassle at all.


I have added another secondary a couple of times, without any problem as well.


In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
That was my primary for 5 years (sm)
also and right after the first of the year *poof* into thin air.  It was a peach of an account...dang! 
Do you have a primary account - sm
or do you have to work on several different accounts? Do you get a lot of feedback during training? Did it take you very long to start meeting line requirements? Do they have decent insurance? Thanks!
They have several accounts. My primary
runs out regularly, but my primary has an abundance of work. 
I've had my same primary....
since I hired on almost 3 years ago and only had to ask for a backup account this summer. Other than that, I've not needed another account.
Has anyone lost their primary?

What happened?  How did your company handle it?  Did they even tell you?  Was anyone quietly pushed out the door only to find out later it was because their primary dropped? 


I feel like I am all of a sudden getting pushed out the door, and I know my primary renewal date is coming up shortly. 


Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.  Any signs that I should be looking for (both with regards to work itself and how I am being treated)? 


Thanks


I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.


 


Hope this helps.


GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account.  It has it all.  But they use MedRite.  This is awful!  Was this actually designed for an MT?  This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep.  Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief!  Is there anyone who has used this?  Are there any tips you could give me? 
It was when I worked at YOG -- primary account was 95% ESL. BUT, it's not so bad ...sm

Generally, a lot of times they say the same things in their review of systems and physical examinations, and you can make up little normals for each doc.   Tough way to get your start, though -- sorry.


By the way, I don't think most acute care accounts are that heavy in ESL, but a number of 70-80% wouldn't surprise me.


Good luck!


Mine primary is internet
My primary account is all internet with no phone line. My secondary account uses a C-phone with a phone line. Some of their accounts are internet-based, and others use a C-phone with a phone line. I love them both.
Is this happening on your primary, as well as your back up
accounts? Have you called management regarding your situation?
I don't have to be management to know I have a primary account
that I work on and have backup accounts. If you have problems with ESL doctors on a certain you should let someone know. I had this happen before on a backup account and they removed it from my pool.

I myself find it interesting that people who don't work for them and have never worked for them are posting below bashing the company on heresay.
I wish my primary paid by the minute...
No one ever seems to know what they are talking about on that account and they take FOREVER to get through a report. Some dictators will take 15 minutes to dictate a 50-line report because they are shuffling through papers looking up things or just saying umm..duh.. I also have one dictator who will repeat things constantly, sometimes repeating the same sentence 3 times! I'd be making about $5 more per hour if I were paid by the minute... This wouldn't be a good deal on my secondary account though. There are a bunch of fast talkers and mumblers on that account.
Can you give any hints as to your primary?
like initials or what type of hospital (assuming it's a hospital account) it is?
I think it depends on your primary acct; sm
I've noticed some STMs give more leeway regarding shift windows, and usually it is based on turnaround time for your particular primary account. I think I would approach my STM again and ask more specifically, Why does STM X say this and you say something else? Probably you would get a clearer answer. It never hurts to ask.
Losing primary account.
What happens?  I haven't been working for an MTSO long enough to know (worked in house for the last 5 years).  Could someone please tell me their experiences?  I work for a large MTSO, so I am hoping that I can get placed on another account, but really, I don't think there are enough slots to fill all our positions.  Any thoughts?  Please HELP.
To losing primary account
Can you tell us which company? The moderators say it is okay.
so have them change you back to your primary.

about 1/2 hour ago. VERY low, espec last few days. :(
