Production benefits? What are those?

Raises?  What are those?  Thank you?  What does that mean?  An answer?  The only one you will get is "I don't know".  Training?  Forget it. 


I just stated with them. Nice people, work out of Word, and pay increases with production. nm

I had the same problem. Nice people and benefits,
NM
I will start there on Sept. 8. They have a nice benefits package, sm

and the pay via the incentive tier seems fair and easily attainable, although since I have not started on the account, I cannot really say for sure -- if it is an atrocious account, then of course that changes everything.  I have not read anything bad about the company, though, so to me that is a good sign.  I will be using ExText, which I have used before, so that is another plus for me. 


As for choosing between IC and employee, I guess that depends upon whether you need the benefits.  If you do not need the bennies and are still interested in working for them, maybe you could negotiate a bit higher line rate ... I do not know, just guessing.  They also have a bonus program if you keep to your schedule each quarter, so that is a nice plus.


Good luck with whatever you decide.  Like you, I would like to find a home.  I have an IC position that I love and will probably never totally give up, but I would like to have the benefits and some of the tax hassle erased. 



They are nice people, but the pay is on the low side, benefits were expensive and they overhire. nm

It's a tricky business.
Sometimes, they can be telling the truth, but it is misleading because some pertinent details are missing.  For instance, I worked on an account for a national company.  This account was totally in the USA.  Yep!  Until the USA MTs completed enough VR reports to train the software real well.  Then, for whatever reason, the account went totally to India.  I was guessing that the facility had received an offer that they just couldn't resist, despite the fact that they had previously balked at the very idea of their reports being done in India.  Things can CHANGE.  It may look like a sudden change of plans, but may also have been the intent right from the beginning.  The facility may get a better price when the jobs are completed in India, but I'm betting that the national company that is located in India ALSO gets a bigger profit margin when the reports are done in India as opposed to those being done by their US MTs.  Call me naive or slow if you want.  Maybe these are details that you all were aware of all along and I'm just catching on.
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but

Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm

Would think whatever is FT production for that company. PT doesn't
s
But if COMPANY is reason cant meet production,

Very good company. Incentive pay for production plus shift and weekend differentials. sm

Their platform is stable (proprietary, I've been on it for about a year and a half now).  Pay is always on time.  Good support staff.  Their insurance changed this year.  Plenty of work.  They don't overhire on their accounts from what I can see.  If anything, there is always plenty of work, which I like because I can hop on outside of my regular shift and get some more lines.  Now that they pay extra for weekends, I like to pick up some extra hours then. 


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.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.  I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that?  I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life).  Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything.  I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family.  At least my dogige understands. 
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.
OMG! I'm dying for benefits too, but not at that company.

Which company has the best medical benefits?
I have been searching for the company with the best medical benefits. After I test with the company and get a job with benefits they always offer crap insurance and it is expensive! Is there such thing as good benefits while working from home? I have been an IC for the past 10 years and never opted for insurance with companies that do offer it with employee status. I have also checked into private insurance, but the deductibles seem high. Thanks for any help or advice!!!
Yes, they do. Nice little company. Plenty of work.
Pay on a weekly basis.  Internet based platform.  I do think they are still hiring.
I talked with them and she was very nice... the company she wanted to
.
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.
MD-IT Intelligent- Any new information on this company i.e. pay, benefits etc.
TIA
what company offers the best health benefits?

What company offers the best health benefits?


As far as:


waiting period before they start (I'm looking for 90 days or less),


how much they cost for yourself and dependents (I have myself +1 - spouse - can pay maybe $300/month out of paycheck at most),


PEC lookback period (preexisting condition - example - look back 3 months is better than 1 year),


pharmacy cost (I need a flat rate copay, not a percentage, with no yearly cap, and brand names and generics)


 


Anyone who has been happy or unhappy with their insurance through their work-at-home MT company, please share your experience and opinions. Thanks

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..
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.
WOULD LIKE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT HAS DECENT FAMILY INS. BENEFITS AND PTO
I have been working in-house at a hospital and would like to go home to work, but I am having a hard time finding a company out there that offers decent insurance benefits and PTO.. Any ideas are appreciated..
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
Is there a company who offers benefits to parttime employees?
Just curious
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.
Yep..Now I feel stupid. Like one poster said, new company and they can afford benefits like that.
I should be shot, or the very least, a I'm Stupid sticker on my forehead.
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.
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm

incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time.  The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus.  I have been there since October and am very happy.  Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.


 


Good luck! 


Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
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.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
