In Defense of Webmedx

Posted By: Intheknow on 2006-06-07
In Reply to: Ooops, should be ESL. nm - xm

Webmedx has ESL dictators, but then again, so does every other company out there! ESL dictation is part of the MT world that will never go away. If you can't handle ESL dictation, then perhaps it's time to look at another career choice.

In her defense, (sm)
so many of us have had broken promises (not by this company but by others) that we almost expect it. 
SPI Defense

HI,, Time to see a positive mess,,, I currently work for SPI,, left them about 2 years ago for a short time and came back,,,yes the work is low right now,, but,, I ALWAYS get my lines per day and more and I think it is because I ASK for more work when I run out and my AM always has more than enough for me.  There are some out there that will not venture beyond their comfort zone and try a new account.  Why not I just don't understand.. sit there and do nothing or type slower than normal and learn a new account type.  I am not management so dont try that.LOL.. I love what I do and that is why when I left and realized the grass is not always greener I came back home to SPI.  Dont' slam me with raves and rants.. this is only my feeling and thoughts. 


 


In defense of Transtech

OK I have worked at several companies and TT tech support are actually the nicest I have seen and respond the quickest.  What I like is that I can pick up the phone and they will fix the problem immediately.  I don't have to wait for 3 days for an answer.


Folks, you have to give them something to work with.  It is not easy for them to stream in when they have no idea what kind of crap you have on your PC, if you play games, if you swap files, if you have spyware, viruses, etc. 


A few years ago I was a supervisor at another MTSO and was shocked to find out just how little MTs know about their own computers.  MTs should be able to fix most of their own PC problems or they have no business using them to make a living in the first place.  Some of them constantly open a ticket with tech support for piddly stuff that a 10-year-old could fix.  Take a computer course, for Pete's sake - so tech support can help you with real problems.  It is so unnerving to hear I don't know or I can't do that when you could if you knew how your computer works.  Nothing but excuses.  Read your manuals.


The other thing is to be honest with tech support no matter what company you work for.  If you tear up your computer tell them instead of playing a guessing game with them. 


Really people... grow up and be responsible.  If you don't know how to work on your own computer to some degree, find another profession.


I guess this sounds mean but you need to look at it from their perspective sometimes.  I hope I don't offend anybody.


 


DEFENSE for defamation
Is the truth. Hopefully they are prepared for that - judging by the posters here, they may want to close that can of worms sooner rather than later.
Haha! I can too! ANY defense at all of such
And might I just add, what slimy little WORMS all suits really are! They sell their integrity and their souls for their do-nothing jobs in an already top-heavy industry. Considering the mood of their workforce these days, I'd actually be SCARED to be one of them right now.
In their defense, if I remember correctly, their name
was very similar to at least 1 other and possibly 2 other transcription companies.  I don't know if that was the reason for the change or not. 
A blindly written defense regardless of logic
I don't know how many, but just because 1 or a few are having a bad time doesn't mean they are lying no matter how small of a percentage they comprise. I never said they are all sister MTs sharing the good word. I said this is a place also for MTs to share and support each other when they feel they are in a bad spot, not just share the good word on a company...sometimes there are problems and they want support anonymously. There were 2 posters specifically that had intelligent well-worded concerns they voiced (and I believe one said at the risk of being bashed even)...that seems scared to me and they seemed to be real concerns, asking if it was just them or were others having the same problem. Their posts didn't come across at all as company bashing. And who are you? Do you know the poster, Carlotta either? or are you her? How do you know what she does or doesn't do or who she can weed or cannot weed out unless you are her posting under different names as you accuse others of doing? & she didn't say come to me IF...it was much harsher and dismissive than that. But I tell you what, I've actually got better things to do at this point than argue because people are going to believe what they want to about any company regardless of what is said. It is just sad to see people come here for support and then have to fear being weeded out because they sought honest advice and help and find their boss coming after them on here seeking to find out who they are and calling them liars. So, I respectfully disagree with you. The whole tone of her post, to me, proved more than discounted what she set out to prove/discount by writing it. have a good night!
In OP's defense, there are a great many questionable posts
Regarding TT by disgruntled employee(s), so I'd be more comfortable if she emailed me rather than post here and be flamed by those cyberbullies that totally derail ANY discussion of TT with their unbridled hatred of the compnay.

JMHO.
In defense of poster with typos...Sometimes when you use so many expanders(fortunately = fty for me
so I bet she is a high producer 'cause she has awesome expanders... don't typos happen to you on the boards sometimes?  Or you hit enter too soon and your post looks like a first-grader typed it out...
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own?  Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies?   Can anyone explain this?
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??
Nm.
Webmedx
Been with them 10 months.  They are great.  Fair. Great platform. Great pay.  But, I have been doing this for 25 years, no idea how it is for newbies that need hand-holding.  Though the trainers seem competent and willing, the little contact I had with them.
I like WebmedX very much.
Most important, pay is on time, direct deposit, and always correct. QA folks are very helpful without being condescending. They and the managers really do want you to do well and do whatever they can to help you achieve that. I am on a heavy ESL account and yet I find it quite easy to do as there are so many avenues of help with access to numerous samples and the ability to view transcribed records.

My experience has been quite good with this company. I can only speak for Webmedx as I have not worked for Medware.
WebMedX
Apparently, you don't really want opinions if you don't want to hear from "Bashers."

However, I have nothing bad to say - I have been there 8 mos. - come on board. They have great insurance. They provide you with a text Expander with your computer, and they pay on time everytime. My supervisor is probably the best I have ever had - I've been in this business for over 20 years.

WebMedX
Having worked for both and currently WebMedX, they're the best choice.  They are a lot nicer and easier to deal with, their pay is better, their benefits are better, their scheduling is better.  I honestly have had no complaints with them.  Once Spheris went through their whole restructuring plan for pay and line counts, they went right down the tubes as far as caring about their employees instead of the almighty $$ for themselves, in my opinion (sort of like MQ is doing right now).

WEBMEDX

WEBMEDX!
Webmedx sends out Christmas gifts, as well as gifts during MT Week. This compan rocks!
WEBMEDX - NO

Run from Webmedx


WEBMEDX
Can anyone give me some insight on this company?  Do they provide steady work,  do you make your lines and hours either PT or FT, benefits and are MTs appreciated? Thanks!!!
WEBMEDX
I have been with Webmedx for several years now (acute care MT) and they are a wonderful company to work for!  I have a great account, a flexible schedule, and feel very appreciated by the management staff.  We just received our Christmas gifts.  I also received gifts during MT Week.  The platform they use is very easy to learn.  I hope you give them a try!
What about Webmedx?
Webmedx hires PT MTs and rates run between 7 and 9 CPL, depending on the difficulty of the account.  We are all running OT right now and more accounts are coming on next week.  They provide computer too. 
webmedx
I will check them out! Thank you!
Definitely WEBMEDX!
They are an AWESOME company to work for!
WebmedX
Anyone know anything about Webmedx? TIA
WebMedX
Has anyone ever worked for WebMedX, and can you tell me if you are happy or unhappy. Could you tell me a little about it.
WebMedX
They don't pay! That basically sums it up.
webmedx
I've worked for them for over 6 years doing Radiology. Every two weeks my check is in the bank. I worked for an MTSO for 7 weeks and every check has bounced. Is the pay as good as a hospital or free standing Radiology clinic. NO. But someone who wants to work at home because of small children or transportation problems couldn't go wrong working for them.
Webmedx sm
I just checked.  The recruiter said they are not hiring IC's.
WEBMEDX!
I have been working for Webmedx now as an MT for over five years and they are great! Probably the most professional company I have ever worked for.
Webmedx
Do they pay relatively well for experienced MTs?  I have 11 years of experience, 9 of those acute care.  Does anyone know their pay scale?  Thanks.
Webmedx also going VR

but they do have bonus pay -- for now.


webmedx
Have no knowledge of Axoltol, but Webmedx is heavy ESL and some really bad ones (I used to QA there). On a positive note, their software is incredibly easy to use and pay was decent, everyone nice to work with.
Webmedx

Any information on this company pros and consciousness appreciated

I have worked for them for almost four years.  They are a good company to work for, but they have a LOT of ESLs.  They pay by the line.  They do offer good benefits and PTO.
WEBMEDX
Webmedx does not pay by minutes, but by the line. I have worked for this company for several years and absolutely love it!

webmedx

Hi.  Can anyone tell me for webmedx can you work M-F.  I currently work Sun-Thursday and looking for a change.


Thanks!


webmedx
Hi.  anyone work for webmedx?  are most of the ESL with a heavy accent?  They sound like they have a lot of ESL.  Is it worth a chance leaving a solid company but without too much flexibility for THEM?  I have been with my present company almost 8 years and not sure what to do.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
webmedx
why not???
webmedx
Thanks for everyone's help. It sure helps to have a lot of input to help make up one's mind.
webmedx

I hope things work out for you in what you decide to do.
