want to keep all the accounts so I assume that means all the NE Region within one hour of being out of work and out of work every night or caught up. Now I ask you where does this leave the MTs. I am speaking of acute care accounts with TAT of 12, 24 and 48 hours. Our offifce accounts are already complaining of poor quality work coming back to them because of just everyone being thrown into them to get the work done so I guess to accomplish this ridiculous obssessive 1 hour complete work situtation they will lose accounts and quite obviously MTs as running that close to complete in my option will run us continuously out of work into backups and of course then we are watched for how much of our work goes to QA etc. Does this seem like a no win situation. ASR has picked over all the accounts already also on DQS. I can see looking around very soon depending on how this situation plays out. Is this idea crazy or is it normal.

It depends on what part of the country you live; here in the Northeast sm
it is $18-$23 per hour.
The Warminster office is now part of the NE Region. Unsure if Warminster will be
staying open. All the accounts have been switched to Amherst, NY. Hard to know who to deal with since the office manager has not been replaced so not the best.
I applied and they told me no part-time.

I would, however, consider what you're talking about if they would allow it.  Maybe I'll have to send an e-mail and find out which lead you are and if the information you are giving is correct.  I still have the recruiter's e-mail.  I can just copy and paste your post since you seem to have a lot of information regarding the re-structuring.  I'll just ask the recruiter that e-mailed me if she would consider me for the new part-time positions that are coming in the next months.  Maybe she'll have some feedback for me. 


Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm

Depends on the region I think
Former co-workers of mine still work for SPi and I'm not hearing really bad stories yet. I find myself wondering about the variety of experiences I'm hearing, wondering if it's due to the regional managers or what.

If you don't have a lot to risk, it might be worth a shot, but I'd have a backup plan in case they make you crazy.
Transcenders what region
You girls with no work, what regions do you work in?  I work on 2 different platforms, BeyondTxt being one and in both my regions work is plentiful.  I have 5 backup accounts in case things slow down but they haven't on my primary and they are always asking for help on my secondaries.  Not saying you aren't telling the truth, just wondering what region it is.  Do you do more than one worktype?  I know where are some girls in my region who only will do one worktype and won't try anything else.  That makes for a smaller paycheck, I'm thinking.  Just curious so don't flame me.
never heard of the Mountain Region....
maybe the Denver region? If that's it, I have no experience with them.
Pronounciation depends on what region
of the country you are in a lot of the time. I am from the south. Our doctors pronounce syncope as syn-co-pe - Up north they say syn-cope. Just 1 example.
Any info on MD-IT Dallas Region?

North region here and tons of work....nm

Any Warminster MTs have any thoughts on the email about getting switched to the NE region. Just
wonder what you think about the whole thing.
Yes, I am talking about the fact that our accounts are being transferred to the NE Region. Are you
not aware of that. It is happening on Monday morning.
Anyone else finding their work drying up in the NE region. Are you sticking around or moving out. I
am not sure what to do yet.
TRX, Portland and New York
Can anyone tell me anything about this company?  Searched the archives and found nothing helpful.
New York location
I don't know about the other, but the one in New York has a very nasty attitude when it comes to transcribing foreign languages.
I'm near the border of New York
What part are you in?
If you can live in New York for 45K
a year, you are a better man than I, gunga din.
They were pulled into Warminster and some may now be in New York.

Superior Transcription Co, New York

Does anyone know anything about this company?  I tried to download their instruction files, and when I double click on the installation file like the directions say, it just brings up a page of symbols.  There's got to be another way.


The lady wanted me to start right away today, and sent me all the things I have to download (Voice Scribe), then it was late in the day and I didn't get it all downloaded by the time she left at 4:45 PM.  Now I'm not sure if I can do this. I can't call her back until Monday.


Superior Transcribing, New York..sm
anyone have any experience with this company? QA seems rude and they seem to nitpick every comma and I am not sure how long I will last on that job. Would appreciate any info.
Superior Transcribing, New York
I did well on my tests, but was told after 30 days of being with them I would have to pay $600 for their platform, payable at $25 a week. Did you have to pay this? The only contact I had was with Rosanne.

We keep getting these ridiculous bulletins carbon copies to everyone in New York MQ it seems telling
us how far off this TAT we are. I think they should stick their 1 hour TAT where the light doesnt shine. The only time the TAT for 1 hour percentage is right is when there is no work. I think MQ needs to be looking for some new managers or soon that is all there will be left, all managers no workers to pay their freaking salaries.
Awhile back they got a New York account that everybody is fussing about the ESLs
x
It depends how fast they are growing. I worked for a company in New York that sm
had 5 new accounts start, 1 a month for 5 months, that were all very large and needed 20+ MTs. They are now a larger company and do not constantly need new MTs, but I think it is unfair to judge a company by how many people it is hiring. I think it would be interested to find out how many are new positions and how many are due to MTs leaving and why they left.
Anyone know any info on Silent Type out of New York? I don't know how to find in archives. Thnx

As a recruiter, I'd hire an Andrews grad in a New York minute. You're doing a great job of se
They are properly trained. They are ready and able to work from day #1.
Wouldn't YOU like to have training that made you a hot commodity the minute you graduate? Maybe you should go back to school so you can be an arrogant MT and not be penalized because you aren't cutting it.

As a famous model once said Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

Northeast (NTI)

I work for Northeast. Great people, great pay for Northeast area, great work and always lots and lots of work -- Pay is ALWAYS on time. NO SCHEDULE. They are very very flexible as long as you let them know in advance of days off. Other than that on a day-to-day basis, they are extremely flexible. Strict but fair and no complaints here! Good luck!


Happy MT


Northeast

I really don't know...all I know is that I have to give them a general idea of what hours I want to work and that is it ....days, nights, how many hours, etc. Very flexible.


They are always getting new clients..perhaps one of them needs to have someone there for certain hours.


Northeast
It was Tennessee
There's another one out there, I think it's Northeast - sm
Transcription, that snottily says something to the effect of, Residents of (?) and California need not apply.
My guess is they prefer applicants from the parts of the country with a lower cost-of-living. Smacks of discrimination, if you ask me.
Northeast Transcription

Does anyone have any information on this company?  I can't seem to find very much.


Northeast transcription
You mean after all that testing only 7 to 8 cent on a 70 character line. 
Northeast Transcription
Has anyone that applied for the radiology positions heard anything from the company yet?  TIA
Northeast Transcription
Don't bother to give it more time. THey are not worth it. See posts from 9/24 regarding this company.

Anybody have any current information about Northeast Transcription Inc. in Portland, Maine?  Am wondering about what kind of company they are and whether they are good to work for, have benefits, etc.  Any info is appreciated.  TIA!


 


Northeast Transcription
Anyone work for, or have you ever worked for Northeast Transcription.  Just applied.  Any information would be appreciated.
Wonder why Northeast Transcription
says residents of California need not apply? That's strange
I worked for Northeast-
No complaints. Had an excellent traning program and excellent dictators. The only reason I quit is I am an IC and like to stay that way-Don't like to be tied to a full-time schedule
Northeast Transcription
Anybody work for this company that could provide some info on them?
Northeast Transcription
I would highly recommend this company. I went through their testing process and interview process and was excited to be starting with them. However, they don't have the proper credentials to do business in my state. So instead of just wishing me on my merry way, they have gone above and beyond the call and have passed on my test scores and information to another company they are familiar with. A company that has wonderful staff like Shannon and Terry would be awesome to work for!
I worked for Northeast
for about 7-8 months. Have no complaints. Just didn't like having to stick to a schedule
Northeast Transcription
Does anyone know anything about Northeast Transcription.  Is their work straight transcription of ASR. Anyone know what platform they use and anything about pay?
Northeast Transcription Inc.
Wondering if anyone could give more information about them. Not a lot on here about them. I just had an interview, and I think I like them, but would like real world experience from people working for them. How is the platform, the expander, are they flexible, easy to get the 1100 lines in an 8 hour day, etc.? Any help either here or to my email would be GREAT!

TYIA!
