Kind of risky to praise the company you work for
Posted By: Contented on 2007-04-17
In Reply to: Well, anyone who loves their job needs to tell us where she is so happy at..Would love to know.. - Disappointed MT
because somebody who must have gotten burned at some job will jump on and announce that no company can be that good, so we must be lying! That we're really managers or recruiters.

When I see a company getting a lot of praise and looking for a lot of
people to hire, I get a little leary. Past history has shown that those companies usually get sold within 6 months to a year. The number of bodies on payroll are part of the assets for a company when they sell their slaves. It used to be the Squid that bought them all, now it is Squid Jr - Transcend- so be careful.
It depends on who is offering it, and what kind of work is available. If you posted the company sm
name, we could give more helpful advice.
I looked into Nicholas, but I felt that it was too risky
Think she was arguing the praise
I took it to mean she was incredulous that anyone could agree with OP. When this thread first got started, abc said some pretty ugly things, which were deleted by the moderator.
Praise Report
A while back, November to be exact, I posted about applying for an in-hospital MT position at my local hospital, which is a County run hospital with good benefits and pay, 31,000 to 48,000 per year hourly pay. Don't know if they offer any incentives yet. There work was being outsourced also, but they made the decision to bring their transcriptiono back in-house. Anyway, I waited and waited, then 2 months ago received call that the County had put a freeze on hiring. Well, yesterday received phone call from Human Resources asking me to come in Monday to do paperwork and take physical. Halleleujah. I was actually down to the wire. My pay had decreased due to lack of work and me being sick down to 500 every 2 weeks. I received a notice from my Mortgage company stating my income was not sufficient enough for them to help with a modification and that they would refer me to Hope for Homeowners, but in the meantime they sent a letter stating they had started foreclosure. God is so good. I am praying that things will stall until I can at least make a full paycheck so that I can resubmit my information to the Mortgage Company. On top of all that, my daughter 22 in college, developed severe back pain, but I did not have her in any insurance because I could not afford it. Had to come up with 250 dollars for her to see an orthopedist. God is sooooo good. Now I will be able to put her on my insurance until age 25. The hospital is a small 175 bed hospital for indigent care and there will only be 2 transcriptionists, and we will only be typing discharge summaries and very few op reports. Monday through Friday 7:30 to 4 p.m. 12 vacation days a year that accrue, 12 sick days per year that accrue, County pension plan, about 8 or 9 holiday pay. God is soooo Good. I can't thank Him enough. I wish all of you that are looking for outside work, don't ever give up. I believe more and more hospitals will be bringing their work back in house. God Bless You All.
what kind of company
Absolutely and since like personalities mingle you can basically come to your own conclusion about what kind of company considers a person like sheri to RECRUIT??? Either they are pretty desperate or pretty ignorant, well probably both and dont forget they dont ever ever pay on time or never pay at all. dont work for them or their subs. Before you start ask the company if they sub for proveros or you WILL be sorry. ...
Where did you find that kind of company?
Please do tell, need to move on myself.
What kind of a behind-the-times company is this
that thinks they have to train you in person anyway?! LOL.
1 company, kind of 2 divisions, hourly and SM
as far as how much, I'm sure you realize that is something that has to be negotiated and isn't the same for each employee. I am not even going to give a range because I don't know if the 2 sides pay the same or not.
Internet - kind of a DQS-like program. Great company. nm

have you ever done this kind of work before? sm
It is quite difficult and very tedious. People talking over one another, sometimes a lot of research on the internet that you would have to do just to find certain studies and authors. Quite frankly, I do not think $50 an audio hour is worth it. That breaks down to about $12/hour +/- $2/hour, depending on how good you are.
On the other hand, he is being quite generous with the pay, because there are transcription services that are paying $25-30/audio hour for the same kind of work!! That breaks down to $7-10/hour! And there are people that will do it!!
That is just my 2 cents
Their website touts themselves as being an "AMERICAN" family-owned company. Kind of ironic! n

I work for MDI - what kind of info are
you wanting?
Sure, but what kind of work is left . sm
for straight typing? VR rejects? 99% ESL and 100% crap? At this point in time, there doesn't seem to be any reason for the VR MTs to envy the straight typers.
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
What kind of work types does Level 4 do at
x
Not a lot of work right now; kind of disturbing that they're hiring
..
I am glad I work on VR but what kind of line count
are you trying to get. What do you want to make, $ wise or line wise?
I currently do this kind of work in addition to my medical accounts...sm
The rate seems pretty low, at least compared to what I make, and I can tell you from my experience with this type of work, it is very tedious. Expanders aren't nearly as helpful as in medical transcription, so it's pretty much straight typing. On the other hand it is a nice change of pace from the medical aspect, but for what they want to pay, probably best suited to a newbie.
My information is kind of old, but I used to work for them part time sm
and it was a good company. The people were great, and they paid on time (weekly). The pay was rather low, but what I was doing was easy clinic work, so it kind of balanced out. Good luck!
? That's kind of a blanket statement; things are fine on the accts I work on. sm
Yes, it was slow a couple weeks ago but started picking up last week.
PS - Yes, they pay for spaces.
WEBMEDX???? It's a small national, right? Benefits, running out of work, what kind of accounts,
flexible schedule (as in working EVERY weekend mandatory?
Any opinions on the company would be appreciated. Found some in the archives but all mostly from 2004 and 1 recent post but not much info. Thanks.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
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.
Let me know if you pursue this company. I would like to work for a MN company as an employee?
Let me know! Thanks!
Chasing work from company to company - Have any of you ever watched (sm)
5 year olds learning to play soccer? The ball is in play and no matter what the coahes say ALL the kids go running for the ball. Maybe we are like that, masses of us going from company to company in search of work. This company has a new account BOOM here we go. Now it is out. Let's go here.
Yep, I think it is a big game someone is playing with us. Not a particularly funny one either.
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.
Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to
x
I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Don't work for KS but work for SS - another company bashed
Works GREAT for me and I love SS. I never really care what the negatives are as I have found they are usually people that can't make their lines, don't work the hours they commit to or just overall do not care!
I work for an all-US company and refuse to work for one that offshores. Best of luck to you. nm

Why would you want to work for a company with no QA? Anyways the only company that comes to mind is
I worked for in the past which is Medquist NJ Radiology.
Work PT for a company and noticed something odd. When I work the day shift I get (sm)
actually fairly good dictators, a couple of toughies, but no more than one would expect. When I do the late afternoon/early evening shift it is like night and day. I get some really crummy dictators and tons of problem/miscoded reports.
They have said that there is no cherry picking able to be done with this program so I just have to wonder if the crappy dictators can't get to the dictate stations until after 4 p.m. or what?
Nuff said, back to work. Thanks for letting me air it out.
I work for a company in FL. I pull my work off their
system in FL, so they do not pay state taxes. I've been there 5 years and they have never paid state tax. Don't know my state tax code, but since they are in a different state can't see how it would apply anyway. The IRS hasn't complained. I increased DH state tax deduction to compensate instead of having to pay quarterly taxes.
I work for a company with lots of work,
I work a second/third shift position and I still run out of work. I asked for a secondary account probably 6 weeks ago and haven't received one yet.
You can call the MTSO or your supervisior, but they really don't care, the work is getting done and that is all that really matters.
I work for another company...
MQ had no problem with it when they hired me.
NEVER pay a company to work for them.
That is a scam.
There is a difference in renting equipment or putting up a deposit for equipment to be sent to you.
How do you have to pay to work for them?
the company I work for...
pays the same way. As long as you have direct deposit, it really isn't that bad. With my company the pay period ends the 15th and the last day of the month, and checks are either sent out or deposited on the 20th and 5th. The main difference is that you never have a chance for those 2 bonus pay months where you receive 3 paychecks instead of just 2.
I work for this company too and my DD have never been
late. I did receive my check in the mail today, the day after it was scheduled for DD, and it was mailed on 12/7, the day before DD is scheduled. A bit of an inconvenience, but a one time issue.
I think we work for the same company.
I was told it was not a sign on bonus, only for MTs in good standing with the company. The shortages in the paychecks are for the 30% deduction for headers and footers (that we do not type).
If you want to work for a company
than OSi is for you.
We know we work for the best company (sm)
so let's get together and share info! Email me if you want to be part of a mailing list. Please indicate your account(s).
I do not want to work for a company
the comapnies who do offshore so I will not waste my time testing.
Thanks
Would you work for a company
that made you sign an agreement not to mention the name anywhere on the internet, web forums and agreed not to endeavour to form or join a union?
Which company is the best to work for...
Looking for a good company, decent pay and no ESL's. Is there a company out there that anyone knows of???
I work for a company that does that...sm
I have worked for a company for a couple of years that pays like that (still there). The way they explained it when I started was that if you are an IC, they need to bill and get payment from your accounts (rather than you invoicing the company) and then after that 1st 30-day cycle, your first check is 2 weeks after that, so 6 weeks all together. confused anyone yet?? At first it was difficult waiting, but every 2 weeks after that like clockwork I get paid. The way I look at it is that if I ever leave them I still get paid for a month and a half.
Can you say which state this company is in??
The BEST company to work for???
Want input on the best company to work for out there.
Me, too. We must work for the same company!

What company did you work for?
I will know not to apply if I am looking for a job.
