They are not the first. Both Keystrokes and Execuscribe have been on that list in the sm
past. Maybe Spheris felt left out. The difference is that they grow by buying other companies not be increasing on their own.
I would also think that they should not put companies on that list that send work out of the U.S.A.
Keystrokes, Execuscribe, MDI-MD in no particular order. nm

Execuscribe Mon-Fri
Their line commitment minimum is 4000 and you need a c-phone but can work days Mon - Fri. So far so good for me..i'm an employee.
Execuscribe
Well, I actually was curious and drove to my local Wegman's to get a copy of RBJ. Huge article, fairly presented facts, very informative. No wonder she made "impassioned plea" to editor to not run the story. Millions in fraud, self-dealing, and unjust enrichment, padded billings, defrauding creditors, fruadulent conveyance, along with other charges/convictions. Changing your business name several times in 10 or so years. Now in a $400,000+ home -- guess it beats the view from a jail cell!
Yah, thanks for putting the rest of us honest MTSOs in a negative light. Smooth move....

Execuscribe
I researched this company, too. But, after reading the Business Journal article -- which is all fact, not just somebody's opinion --- I decided it was in my best interest as an MT with hopefully a long career ahead of me, not to associate myself with a many-time convicted criminal. People have long memories on this stuff. But, that's just my opinion.
Execuscribe
Rochester Business Journal dated 7/22/05. Interesting article about fraud convictions. Worth getting a copy of if you are considering employment there.
ExecuScribe does. nm

Breitner
Can anyone give me any up-to-date information on Breitner? The only thing I can find in the archives dates back 1 year or better. I would really appreciate any current information on them -- worried about paycheck. Was told pay day was 4th and 20th, and now am being told differently. Please help. Thanks
Is this for Breitner or OSI? Need to know so I
What a ripoff.
Execuscribe
I live in the same town as Execuscribe and did not hear anything about legal problems. Can anyone point me in the direction of finding out?
Execuscribe
Thanks I will go check the library for a back issue of this magazine so I can read it myself. As an ex-MTSO whose business she took away, I'd like to read this. I've heard that her largest client is going to a fill in the blank type form and laptops for the doctors (from one of the doctors who work for the client) so we will see how long the company will stay a Fortune 500 company now.
Breitner is a rip off
pay at Breitner
I have worked for this company for a little more than a year now. My pay has always been accurate and has always been received by my bank on the pay date stated in the company policy. Fair and up front is the way the company treats their MTs, something that is hard to find in a lot of companies out there. Re-think your gripes 'cause the grass is not greener.....
Execuscribe
She paid Kodak an UNDISCLOSED AMOUT OF MONEY. Now, as the article said at the end, they are HOME FREE, yes a half millon dollar home free!
Tom Y. worked at Kodak in finances and was accused of making false payments to Execuscribe, owned by his wife. He was also sending business to people who were paying him a CUTBACK to do so, rather than the cheapest/best people for Kodak.
She was accused of being part of the MASTER PLAN.
She tried desperately in the end to put the company assests into her sons' names, but the court overruled on it.
So she eventually settled out of court and paid Kodak what they wanted. That was a private court case. The CRIMINAL CASE against Tom only was thrown out due to him having the best criminal lawyer in town who kept stalling and then the court said too much time had passed by. Otherwise, he may have done jail time, or at least community service and be on parole.
execuscribe
Any info on this company would be appreciated.
Anyone at Breitner ....
making money? I am so frustrated.
ExecuScribe does
Health Ins avail for 4000 lpw.
ExecuScribe
Any info on Execuscribe from someone who works there?
Breitner
I would follow the advice given by the other person. Mass has really strict labor laws and the Attorney General and BBB will work with you. Also if the Labor Department gets a couple of complaints they will go to their office also. Good luck. Don't let them get away with it. You work hard for your money and deserve the pay they owe you.
Breitner
Firstly, they did not even let me get passed the training period. I thought that was what training was for, to learn an account etc. If you hire someone as an employee, you should follow through and employ them. Their feedback on my work during the training period was very good, and 'she' (the woman who trained me) kept saying things in support of my efforts to do a good job and at no time, did I think I was being graded, so to speak, so that she could decide whether she wanted me or not. I tested for the position, passed and they called me and offered me a FT job. I just don't think they should be allowed to go around and pick people, train them and make a judgement whether you're good enough and say goodbye at that point. Why test people if they're going to train you, use you and make a decision then. Somehow I had a feeling from the get-go and did not give my notice at my other job when Breitner hired me and I am thankful I still have that job, but what about the people that really need a job; this is my point. They should not be allowed to treat employees like this. I think because there never is anything in writing from the company regarding hiring you, that gives them the right to backstab people.
Breitner
Well, I know where you're coming from, as a matter of fact, I only complained that my Voicescribe reports had static. But, it still does not give them the right to do what they did. My God, I was supposed to be in TRAINING! When they notified me that they were letting me go, they said I was to fill out an invoice and they would pay me the training fee; I filled out the invoice, sent it back in and got nothing but a run around, claiming they did not get my invoice, this one was not an accountant, etc, etc....I eventually got the training fee owed me, but it was not easy. They were hoping I would give up. I basically want to know if there are people out there that have any experiences with Breitner and if anyone can give me advice as to who I can turn to regarding this matter. Thanks for your concerns!
ExecuScribe
Anyone know anything about this company? Benefits, etc.?
it is not Breitner
and I have been very happy with them. They are actually pretty local to me, altohugh I guess they would be considered a national as my accounts are near and far.
Breitner
Any new info on Breitner's.
Breitner's
No, I did not mean to stay away from them. I do not know anything about them. That is why I asked.
Execuscribe
Has anyone had experience with Execuscribe. They are going to offer me a job. I now work fulltime at an office and wonder whether I am making a mistake to go with them.
Breitner
I get rather flustered when talking about this group! Did you ever get your last paycheck? It was a battle from start to finish with that company. Sad thing is, the owner and his wife are super nice folks, WHEN YOU CAN FIND THEM!!! LOL!! Gosh, I think our 30% cut from the production line probably funded their many trips abroad! I actually LOST MONEY working for those people! Sorry, but had to vent. BEWARE!
It is not Breitner
Though I have worked with them and their owner is squirrely that way, I have had my issues with him, but he has paid within a week.
Breitner pay
I have been with them since 2002, starting as an MT and then moving into QA, and I have always been paid on time. We have been on direct deposit for several months now and checks have always been there on time, sometimes a day early.
ExecuScribe
Has anyone worked for ExecuScribe. Need some feedback on the company.

Anything new on Breitner
I have been reading the good, bad and pretty ugly on them, esp. not paying for 45 days? One MT even went through with training and bought a new PC and was dumped. Are they very special owners who like to take their vacations or what?http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/thankyousign.gif
Execuscribe
Does anyone have any information good or bad regarding this company? I noticed in some older posts from 2004 that they require you to carry worker's comp insurance - do they still do this? 
Execuscribe
Yikes! That's pretty low. Thanks so much for the info!
Breitner
I have been curious about this company myself. I have never heard of them. I received an e-mail from recruiter giving information about job openings.
Execuscribe
I have been working with Execuscribe for almost 1 year. Pay may not be great, but they do count other things which other companies do not - i.e., bolding, capitals, italics, et cetera are counted as double letters. I checked into other companies and actually made more with ExecuScribe because of their added counting. They now have vacation although it takes a while to be able to take any time off. Currently we use the C-Phone (although they are phasing that out), Fusion and I'm not sure what else since those are the two that I use (I work on two different accounts). Hope this helps. 
Breitner
I met the owner of this company by accident (long story). We both are a small MTSO and have communicated with eachother and spoken on the phone a few times about the transcription business and our personal experiences with our clients. Kathy seems like a very nice and honest woman. She keeps things very simple. I wish you the best of luck.

Could anyone from Execuscribe tell me about the benefits offered? Thanks in advance!
Breitner
Just saw your request from December about Breitner. If you still have an interest in knowing about them, let me know!
Breitner
Anyone out there working for Breitner?
Breitner MT
I've been working for Breitner for 4 years. Fairly decent company. Don't hassle me too much at all. Pay is comparable, and actually my pay is probably better than most jobs I've applied for. I was getting bored with the same stuff and just looking around - anyway with 9 years experience, no one will pay me what I make at Breitner. Get my pay on time too. They do have direct deposit. Have had small issues with payroll girl, but everything has always worked out. All in all, not a bad place to work.
Execuscribe
I used to work for Execuscribe and live in the same city...low pay, slow pay and last fall a lot of the management team left to go back and transcribe elsewhere. Paying on time got better when everyone was made employee but the pay went way down. Their major account I have heard is giving all new docs laptops and using EMR so they are probably losing them department by department. Hope this helps.
Breitner
Anyone heard of Breitner? They have benefits and supply equipment. Been in the hospital setting so long, don't know much about the companies anymore.
Breitner - sm
I worked for them for about 6 months. I got tired of my check being the incorrect amount (always lower). I spent way too much time talking on the phone with accounting and even the owner of the company. I was told that ADT (who did their payroll) could not calculate cpl as they were not set up that way. Gee that's funny, other companies use them and don't have the problem. I wouldn't work for them for .25 cent per line. I'd never see the money.
I see that they do not advertise on this website anymore - but they do on the other. Unfortunately, the other website doesn't have a forum to share Brietner horror stories.
Execuscribe?
Any comments on how this company is to work for and general rate of pay, dictators, etc.?
ExecuScribe
Anyone have any info on this company. Would appreciate anything. Thanks!
ExecuScribe
Can anyone tell me anything about this company via email? Anything would be great.
Breitner TS
Both my friend and I just quit Breitner yesterday. I would advise any and all to steer clear, and if you do go to work for them, get everything in writing up front. They promise the moon and do not deliver. I started with them on August 11th, got basically 2-3 hours of training. The first computer they sent me was very old and broke down. The second computer they sent me was also very old. It's like pulling teeth to get 2 words out of their tech guy if you need help, and the MT supervisor is not a terribly patient person with new hires. I'm not a rookie, I've been an MT for 20+ years and owned my own service for 10 of those years, so I know what I'm talking about. Especially be sure to get all benefits, especially PTO versus paid holidays, in writing. We were told we would get 6 days of PTO the first year, and then another 6 days the second year, in addition to 6 paid hoildays. However, those 6 paid holidays are only paid if you use your PTO!!!! They word things to mislead you, so beware!!!!! I truly wanted to believe in this company but after struggling with them for 3 weeks and then finding out they misrepresent, I had no choice but to leave. MY ADVICE IS CAUTION!!!!
