Talked to them last summer. Very nice people.
CPL depends on shift worked and how well you do on the test.
I talked to the insurance lady too (she is very nice) and was told the same thing. sm
I called the office and talked to a high-up manager who said that they haven't said anything because they do not have anything in writing and do not want to give information and have it be wrong.

The premium for employee only is $404 per month and KS is paying $202. This is much better than I had at another company that I do not want bash as this was the only issue I had.

I love it at KS because I have plenty of work and everyone in the office is so nice. My lead changed positions in the company a few months ago and my new lead is very nice and more organized. I have been there 11 months (this time) and was there a year before that in 2005-6. I made the mistake of thinking that the grass was greener but it wasn't!
Just wanted to say, that was a nice calm
and thorough review of a company, no huge emotions, you presented the positives and a negative, didn't ridicule anyone who might have problems, and offered a kind bit of help if needed.  If only everyone posted responses like your's, we'd all have a better picture of our potential employers. Just wanted to say thanks for this thoughtful answer.  I really mean that.
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.
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
This company and KS are about the only companies talked about on this
board. As bad as MQ is about the only company talked about on another board. Ridiculous!
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm

Sorry to hear that. I talked with Ann a few times, and it sounded like a good company. nm

They wanted me to interview with a company that already

advertises here and for which I had previously been offered a position and which I declined.  When I interviewed with TM they made this company sound so great.  I told them I had already been offered a position and declined and TM said they could be me maybe 0.05 cpl more, but that still wasn't enough, and the company had some other issues I didn't want to deal with like clocking in and out, strict schedule, too many ESL. 


I had hoped that maybe TM had a source of companies not usually represented on the boards that was willing to pay a decent rate, but they didn't.  The people at TM are nice, but they get paid if you hire on with a company.  They are kind of like a used car salesman and you need to do your own investigation of the company that they want you to interview with. 


 


I know nothing about this company, but I just wanted to say just because she wouldn't post her na
means absolutely nothing.  There are reasons why a person may not want to post his or her name about such a volatile issue.  I was in the same boat a few months ago.  I would have implicated someone else.  Sorry, this may not make sense, but I'm just pointing out that she may have a valid reason.
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. 
Seems like a nice company - sm
Nice pay, nice people, nice account.
They are a nice company...sm
Here lately you never know when you are going to have work, they have some of the hardest accounts I have ever tried to transcribe, but the pay is good, they do pay headers and footer, the people are nice and flexible, so I personally would give them a try.
Nice company
I work for them. Small company. Always pay you on time. Must maintain 98% accuracy on your work. What type of work are you applying for?
Nice company but...sm
if you're in need of health insurance, it is very expensive!
Nice company (sm)
I had to quit due to other commitments but good people to work with. I enjoyed the work. Pay is as stated and I don't remember having any problems with pay being on time. All in all good experience with them.
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.
Oh! That's very nice. We sometimes have gotten a V-Day gift from my company.

Are you a nice company to work for. nm

:


Nice company to work for. sm
Pay always on time. Weekends are not required. They do not pay for spaces, but do pay H/F. Line rates are better than average to good.
They only hire ICs. They are a nice company.

nice company to work for -----
Mongoose is simple to learn and doesn't seem to have the problems with freezing up and losing jobs that I experienced with Chartscript at my last job.
Yes, they do. Nice little company. Plenty of work.
Pay on a weekly basis.  Internet based platform.  I do think they are still hiring.
It's nice to actually CARE about doing good for the company again.

Very nice company to work for... friendly and
good QA. It is sometimes difficult to get a high line rate though. Not sure why, but maybe because headers and footers are not paid for. They do pay for spaces however. Good Luck in your decision.
Good company, nice folks...sm
I recommended a friend and she is one of 70 being hired for a large university hospital in Utah. I heard they landed some other big accounts. No VR at this time, which is important to me. Pay is on time. They have a sign on bonus now. Line rate is better than most.
Just thinking it may be nice for others to know the name of the company IF they happen to hire
again in the future.......
Second the motion.. Nice people.. Best company I have worked for.
They really care about their employees and it shows..
Nice company and benefits but production can be tricky.
nm
Former DRC/Acusis MTs - Have you found a company as nice to work for (sm)
as DRC with good software, pay, benefits, etc?   Looks like REALLY good MTSO are few and far between.
Nice company, but they use the DocQScribe software that MQ uses. Lost too many lines with it, so
s
Can anyone tell me who a really good SE company is that is solely internet based and are nice to
work for with decent accounts. Thanks much.
Wow! If you aren't interested that's fine but why bash this company for doing something nice
employees? I really feel sorry for MTSO's in this day and age of constant bashing. They simply can't win. If they try to do something nice and creative, they get bashed. If they don't, they get bashed. How 'bout giving them a break and going back to the rock you crawled out from under?
Different company but no slow down, swamped but we were before holidays. Nice having work..

DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
I agree also. Keystrokes is a wonderful company with very, very nice and helpful people. I would
like much more work, at least 12,000 lines each pay period.
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me.  Incentive for MT over production goals.
Thank you! Just wanted I wanted to hear!
nm.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

nm


Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

What is the best company to go to for IC that is a nice company to work for that has work for you
and also is interested if you want to work part time at some point.
I second that. Amphion is nice, nice, nice

Well I am one of the ones who has talked with them....SM

The pay they quoted me was fairly good though not all that great, but I'm really looking for a smaller company and to get away from the really big companies.  I did email with one MT who said she had been with them for 3 months and is now moving from PT to FT because she likes the money she is able to make with them.  I took that as a good sign lol.  I also looked them up in the archives and could find nothing negative. 


I know what you mean about thinking with a maybe this will be the one attitude.  I've been really disappointed in my search over the last few months. 


I really think what is showing through as excitement in these threads (or just this one lol) is the fact that someone finally heard back from this company.  I also think it took a while because it IS small and maybe they are extremely busy.  I think the smaller MTSOs and their managers, account leaders, etc., probably all have too much to do everywhere so maybe these particular ladies really have just not had the time to finish up their hiring.  JMO you understand. 


If you are still looking, maybe you should email them and see if they still have openings.  Their ad is on the job board.  Just be prepared to possibly wait a couple of a few days for a response lol. 



When i talked to them
they were very, very rude!
Only because we do so much rad. I talked to someone who sm
went to a radiology conference this week in Chicago (a radiologist friend) who told me that Keystrokes is everywhere and that whenever he talks to others in radiology, they all mention them. I hope that is good for all of us. I feel secure knowing that. He knows I work for them, so he made sure to tell me that they are very respected in the world of radiology!
I think I talked to them about 18
months ago, and that's what they were offering. Then I asked questions about how efficient things were, and it sounded rather time-consuming to me. They may have improved things by now, of course.
both I talked to
were women.  I was actually told the Nuance recruiter wasn't with the company, but her email is still listed with them.  This lady had a very thick northern city accent.
What was the name of the person you talked to? nm
x
I talked to them about IC status sm
and I really liked them. You might just call and ask. It would be IC status and you need your own equipment. They download their software.
I talked to her by telephone. sm
After about a 5-minute conversation, I knew I wouldn't be going to work for her. When I asked her about pay dates, she stated that MTs do not get paid until she receives payment from the client because, well, you just never know. She also stated that if she does not feel an MTs work is where she thinks it should be, she will lower their line rate. In my opinion, this person is very unprofessional. I agree with the above post about staying very far away from this business.
When I talked with them about a position, I was going to have to use....

their software and they did send a pedal.  However, I decided to go with another company and never even plugged in the pedal that they sent.


Their software is based on MSWord, from what I understand.
