Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I only worked for them a month and had not enough work.....sm

In Reply to: Anyone familiar with TRX, Inc? I have an interview - next week (nm)

I sat around more waiting for something (work was pooled) than actually transcribing...Look elsewhere! There are way better companies out there.

I do. I worked for them for about a month
and had very, very little work. The owner was a little strange. QA had some unusual opinions about how things should be, too. Strange company. Not really bad, but not good either.
I've worked there for over a month...
...and I'm always out of work.  I have even asked for ESL accounts and was told It's slow all over. 
When I worked there, it was a month. They withheld one
entire pay period before you got your check and that is a fact. It was not six weeks but it was a month, which is still too long plus it was not in the bank on time when it was supposed to be.
worked there for a month--hated it. nm

Been here about a month, but worked for them 3 years ago and never should have left.
I left the first time cuz DH (now my EX-DH) was less then cooperative to say the least.

I LOVE it here.
Every company I have worked for (5 total) has paid twice a month. sm
Every two weeks would be too hard to manage. I get paid on the 10th and 25th, so I pay all my bills on the 12th and 27th, which works out perfectly for me.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
a
You have to work over a month sm
before being paid?  That's insane.  Any other company you'd be paid on the next pay date.  Direct deposit might not be set up for the first pay period but a paper check is certainly mailed out. 
Hired over a month ago.... no work yet
Hired and then a month later trained and then weeks later NOTHIng.  wHAT THE HECK IS going on????  i'm losing my mind here.
I always had to work two weekends a month. nm

Every month it's the same. Grab all the work on the last days of the pp and
It's very annoying.
I work for Freedom Type. They pay twice a month. It's a very sm
pleasant place to work, all clinic. I love it there.
I wanted to work for Keystrokes but she hired me a month ago
and then never followed through. I think that they are a great company, at least the friends I have that work there think so, but it seems that hiring is their weak spot. I should apply for that. I am organized and would never let someone slip through the cracks. I am going to call their office on Monday to be the squeaky wheel.
I work part time, got hired last month. nm

Anyone pay less than $800 a month for family insurance?? I work for a small MTSO
and it's not like I make a ton anyway, but the insurance is so high for my family. I feel like I'm just working for the insurance. My husband is self-employed so he obviously doesnt have insurance through his job to provide this so it is up to me and I'm dying here. Any suggestions? We have tried individual plans but it is a fortune for high deductible and yucky coverage. I need to maybe find a larger company to work for where the benefits are a little better.
8000-9000 a month and it is so worth it. I do work a weekend day though.

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.


My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm

Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days
s
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


Worked there once. Not much work then either.

ITA. I work for WMX, never worked for
Transolutions, but if you read the archives not much good said about Transolutions. 
Anyone work or have ever worked for...sm
Allstate Transcription?  Just curious as to different experiences. 
I don't work for MDI, but I have worked as an IC. SM
Let me try to explain this as best I can. As an IC, you work when you want. That works well, except the company you work for needs the work done now; so they may tend to over-hire and the other issue being an IC, is that work tends to dry up over the summer and over holidays. That's a fact of life.

Many MT's who work as IC's, have more than one job.

Honestly, I have nothing to do with MDI and I work as an employee, because I need benefits and I need work.

Please look at all your options.
Wow! Is there always work? I wish I worked
Frustrating to have work controlled the way it is ESL or not. Never know what kind of low money or good money my day will bring, day or night, weekend or not. Care to share your job source without giving it totally away???
I don't work for TT, have never worked for TT.
So I don't know if the company I work for is necessarily better, but I love it. And, yes, there is loads of work and has been for the year that I have been employed there.
If you worked for a co. that did work for web, sm
how would you know what the web employee work situation was?  That wouldn't be any of your business and I don't think the company is calling you to tell you they're giving you work while I am out of work. 
If you work or have worked
for OSi specifically on ExText would love some feedback on the way they keep line counts and getting paid.   you can PM or EM me if you would like
I worked for them, they are okay to work for. nm

I worked on that account for a while and want to work on it again. nm

Do you work on TWS3.8? I have worked SM
for Spheris for several years. My macroes were imported, so that was nice, but from what I can tell, they use Shorthand. Several MT companies have been bought out and they may have used different software programs.
Anyone worked/work for Beyond Words?

I searched multiple boards and have come up empty. Any information would be helpful.


Thanks,
Kim


I work for them and worked for another company...sm
before them starting with them and was able to start with them at a later date (about a month after being contacted by them). It takes about a week or 2 to get the equipment so that you can set it up for the appointment for technical setup/support and training anyway. I've been with them now for 10 months and absolutely love it. If they contacted you for employment, then you definitely did pass their test. Good luck and welcome aboard!
When I worked there, they were always running out of work....
I don't know if that is still the case but was a major problem for me...
Anyone work or worked for Acusis? sm
Just wondering how they are as employer? Plenty of work? Productivity of platform, pay average or low?  Thanks in advance.
Anyone work/worked for LMT Trans? They....
are in hot pursuit for radiology and psychiatry, she has called twice, but I am dealing with others, too, and I am frazzled.  Just wanted to know any particulars about the company, nice to work for, any horror stories, etc???  Thank you all very kindly!
I work for FN but worked for MDI-MD for a few weeks...Go with FN! sm
I agree with the other poster. Futurenet is great! They are very respectable. A lot of working is going to SR now though. That is the only downfall I have for them. But they work with you on everything! If they offered benefits, which they don't, I don't think anyone could beat them whatsoever. Pay is ontime EVERY time! Excellent staff! I have been there for a little over 2 years and have thought about going other places ONLY for benefit purposes but I just can't! They are too good to leave! I will be with them as long as they will allow me to. Couldn't picture myself working for anyone else!
I worked last night and never ran out of work???
not sure why some are and some are not. Hmmm...maybe those running out are not staying signed in?
Anyone worked/work for Zylomed? nm

I have worked at MQ for about 9 years and have never run out of work. sm
I don't think that is the norm for most to run out of work at MQ.
I do not work for KS but have worked for enough companies to know that sm
you are on your own for training after a brief training for the most part but that if you ask questions, you will get answers. I would prefer that, with a good manual, than sitting in a few 8-hour days of training, which has happened at 2 companies. I learn fast and get bored with long training. Different strokes for different folks :)
Because I worked for MQ and didn't have work

I still have never run out of work the entire 1.5 yrs I have worked sm
there (with the exception of the holidays), and every single time I have asked to be put on another (additional) account, they have happily done so.
Um, who said I worked for SS? I work for no service.

I've gotten out of the MT service ghetto.  I work for a hospital.  And guess what...


There are rude people here too ----> GASP! 


Maybe I should quit my $18 an hour, 800 line minimum requirement with 0.06 cpl incentive for anything over 1000 lines a day, awesome health and dental benefits, work at home job because I shouldn't have to deal with rude people, should I?


I worked for KS and though I didn't work on the
account I experienced the same situation with them.  It doesn't matter what the account was.
Has anyone worked for DocuMed, and how are they to work for?
I tested for an orthopedic account.  Just wondered if they are honest, pay on time, etc.
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

Nobody said slow down. They said work your own shift. If everyone worked when they
