No company is the perfect fit for everyone, but I am happy. sm

In Reply to: Offered job with Transtech today. If you work for TT.... - MTinMI

I started in October 2006, and after 30+ years as an MT, I hope I have found my home.  The work seems plentiful (I have only had to go to my secondary account a few times) and the people in management seem to genuinely care about you and want to help.  The incentive tier is easy to achieve, and the benefits are pretty good, I think.  


Regardless of what you choose, good luck!

Nobody said it's perfect, but it is very good. I'm happy there.

I am also long-term happy here; nothing is perfect but sm
Webmedx is working for me, has worked for me about 8 yrs now; next best thing to my previous hospital job.
No company is perfect. It is not just an MT
bashing a company because they could not make it with the company. Do you ever stop to think an MT who has a complaint about a company has a GOOD REASON to complain?!?! No, because you are one who will just continue to harp about It must have been you and you just were not good enough. THE NERVE!!! No company is perfect and I highly doubt yours is.
What does anyone know about Lee Perfect Company. nm
:
Lee Perfect.....anyone have info on this company?
zx
Are they a perfect company, No..are they better, probably, but are the worst, definitely not.
Overall, I'm happy there. I have tried other job but thus far no one has compared to them in terms of benefits, and I love the leads we have. That is why I stay.  If there was a perfect company out there, we'd all be working there but they are pretty close and have a lot of happy employees.
Beg to differ. It is not perfect and is a long way from being perfect. A LOT of hospitals
are moving away from voice recognition after trying it and failing. The good news is that once burned, it is hard to convince a board of directors to put out money like that for a second try.

I think that it has its place and does work if done right in certain facilities, but it is a VERY small percentage and will not hurt us for many, many years to come.

I am not hiding my head in the sand; I am actually seeing the trend reverse.
very happy with my new company so far
Well, I've only been there a week but I love my new company so far.. so much more than the one I just left..what a nightmare..but I just started with a new company..and yes, they're hiring..and they have both escription and regular transcription accounts, hospital or clinic, PLENTY of work, they pay insurance, PTO, holidays..they're flexible with schedules, very helpful and friendly..and they have direct deposit and pay weekly not biweekly. :O))
Happy with my IC company!!!

Hello, I am an IC MT that is very happy with the company i am contracted with. This post is to serve 3 purposes. 1) to try to help out a few good MTs looking for a good company, and 2) to help out the company as it is need of some good, qualified and dedicated MTs, and 3) (in all honestly) to make a little referral $$$!  


Their clientelle and workload is increasing and finding good MTs is a hard process. They are not an IC that offers 6 cents and wants perfect MTs...They pay decent, given the trend of this industy... typically 7-9 cents, i believe. They really take care of their good MTs by verbal praise and $$$$.


I am on an all ortho account that could really use a few good ortho MTs that know their terminology and focus on quality. About 80% of the dictators are great, the 20% are not terrible  --there are many other accounts available besides ortho as well.. but it will take applying and talking with the recruiter to find out what is all available at the time because positions fill up fast and new positions become available at times.


Their platform is pretty simple while allowing some great features. You type in Microsoft Word 2003 or higher. Use Expresscribe (which is free) for audio. Need BOS 3rd edition and probably a good spellchecker.  Need your own computer and software. Pay is always on time and accurate. Incentive after 1000 lines a day. Holiday pay. Strictly IC status as of now.


This is mainly clinic work. full time requires 1000 lines per day, Monday-Friday. Some part-time 500 lines per day positions are available. With most accounts, Friday's work is due on Monday. 20 hour TAT. Flexibility on a day-to-day basis. You get assigned providers, or a smaller assigned pool.


Training is fairly quick, and depending on your learning abilities, the process of learning the templates and creating your own shortcuts can make you productive fairly quickly.


Well, I answered most of the questions... however, if you have more (of course which company is it?), please email me and I will give you the link to the company if you provide me your name for a referral.


I am not a recruiter, just a happy MT looking to help out some fellow MTs, help out the company I am loyal to, and make a little referral $.


She has EVERY RIGHT to post that she is happy with her company!!
You think you and the rest of the people who are all about negative negative negative are the only ones allowed to post...you aren't too sharp are ya?
I'm generally happy with my company. SM
I have great supervisor, lots of PTO, helpful coworkers. I have all the work I can do on a consistent basis and no one bothers me.

One problem: OUR PAY KEEPS GOING DOWN.

Thanks for listening.
An account/company you are happy with, and the $$
I also live in a remote area.  Can't make as much or have the flexibility elsewhere.
I guess you must be happy there since you say it is a great company...
I just had an offer and am thinking of jumping. I work for Q now....any advice?
They are a very good company. I went back and am happy I did.
Not cheerleading just being honest.  They have always treated me extremely well.
Outstanding company. NEVER been so happy! no pay issues EVER. nm
nm
Happy Camper, which company did you receive it from?
Anxiously awaiting gift from TT; hope it is their usual in a larger amount.  Don't need cookies, what-nots, etc. as some companies send to their MT's.  Love that monetary stuff!
Never said perfect. If it were perfect, there would never be room for sm

change or growth.  What I was talking about was the continuous posting by the same people, over and over again, that is vague and destructive.  This is not just about Keystrokes, this is about the posts for other companies as well.


I think that not every MT is a good fit for every company, and not every company is good fit for every MT.  If this were the case, there would be very little job searching or hiring going on, only if someone retired or left the field or entered the field.


It is the outright lying that is so horrible.  Keystrokes is a transcription company which means that we have the normal ups and downs that every company has in terms of slow and busy periods.  We have been very fortunate to have very little down time due to busy and also new accounts. 


If there are check problems, they are resolved.  We all wish there were no problems and this is the biggest topic at manager meetings, but human error comes into play here as well.  We have a new time recording system that should eliminate that, if the information is entered correctly from the MT. 


If there are tough dictators on the account, it is not the fault of the company.  It is the fault of the hospital that has them on staff, but you have to take the good with the bad.


If there are QA complaints, it is usually that the leads are too strict.  The owners have said that they would rather be known for being too picky than too lenient, thus having accounts say the work is not up to standard. 


If there is a reliability problem, it just might not be a good fit.


I know that if I were to take over recruiting and hiring (which I absolutely want NOTHING to do with), I would not take job hoppers.  However, I have been told that you have to look at the hopping and why it has happened.  A lot could be poor choices.  That's why I will never be in charge of hiring, but I can control the MT QA and reliability once they are on my account.


 


I am not her spokesperson just happy with the company I work for and upset that people can be so sm

misleading because the fit was not good for them. 


If you have been on these boards a while, you would know that she always posts her name.  I emailed her today to tell her what was happening on here, and the response I got back was she does not even look on here as it is too upsetting and has promised herself not to come and look.  She has too much else to do with her time and defending herself and her company is always misinterpreted.  She basically told me I should spend more time working or with my family than spending time on this soap opera.

It is better to not care and let people form their own opinions.  Everyone takes the postings with a grain of salt anyway.  I think it is sad that she has to be so tough-skinned.
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too. 
Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!

Lee Perfect
I always ran out of work, so I ended up quitting and finding another job.
The perfect job

1.  All dictators sound like Patrick Stewart, calm and perfect speech.


2.  The company pays a minimum of 12 cents per line, of course spaces included.


3.  All management staff were transcriptionists for at least 10 years.


4.  20-year-old Buffy is not assigned as my account manager, just because she's somebody's wife in the company  (and she's so dumb she thinks car horns need fluid). 


5.  Quick and responsive QA people who provide samples and are not menopausal, in a bad relationship, or on a power trip.


6.  The company provides me a wonderful leather chair with heat and massage.


7.  The turnaround time is 72 hours on all reports.


8.  The CEO looks like Johnny Depp and comes to my house for one-on-one training.


9.  We all head to Hawaii at least once a year for work relationship training.


10.  They actually have a wonderful retirement program that will allow me more than a shanty house with outdoor plumbing.


Am I asking too much?


 


 


Perfect! Thank you! nm

Lee Perfect
Is there a company called Lee Perfect in Illinois, and does anyone know their website or anything about them?  Looking for a better job...any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Are yo sure this is Lee Perfect? - sm
I have been with them since the early 90s and have had no problems. I know they made changes with their pay schedule so you now get paid in 21 days rather than 14 and in July we go to 28 days, but I've never had a problem with a bounced check, missing check, late check in all these years. Now there's another company that put me through that hell, but not Lee Perfect.
Lee Perfect
There is no QA per du jour. We have a staff of several QA/Editors and I am the QA Account Manager/HR Manager. We do not change our policies every month. When emails are sent out to our MTs - they go to everyone in the entire pool so that someone cannot come back and say that they did not receive a notification that work was overdue, etc. I know that EMDAT is extremely user friendly, however, I do not know about anyone who took a 30% pay cut. If anyone's pay is reduced it is because they are not transcribing the lines they should be. In fact, i have many MTs who are making more on EMDAT than when working on previous accounts that were Dictaphone based. It is all a matter of opinion. However, if you want information, you can come to me directly. I will answer any and all questions to the best of my ability and if I do not know the answer, I will ensure that I find out what the answer is and let you know. I am sure you have heard that same line before but you will have to trust me to see that I get things done!!!!
Lee Perfect

Can anyone tell me anything about Lee Perfect Transcription?  Thanks


Lee Perfect
In response to the statement that Lee Perfect pays late is completely incorrect and false.  Lee Perfect Transcribing Company is owned by Linda Manderfeld and has been in business for over 18 years.  The service to which you are referring that has payroll issues is Keystrokes Transcription Service, formerly of Bolingbrook, Illinois, now Yorkville, Illinois (hicksville).   Keystrokes is owned by Lee Tkachuk and Lee Perfect is in no way related to Keystrokes.  Lee Perfect has never, ever been late on a payroll or any bill for that matter.  You have the nerve to bash a company with one of the best ratings in D&B.  You need to get your company information straight.  If you want the real scoop, contact me via email and I will tell you - I was one of the lucky ones!!!!
I would be perfect for that but they never have
responded to anything I sent them. That is so very sad. I know others who never heard a word from them either. It's their loss the way we all look at it.
Lee Perfect
I checked the archives and only came up with pretty old info.  Would like to hear from current people working for Lee Perfect who could give me answers to these questions.  Is there enough work on the heme/onc account advertised on the Job Seekers Board?  What platform do they use?  How are the staff to work with?  Are they flexible on schedules?  Pay scale...average, below, above?  TIA.
Lee Perfect
I was hired by Lee Perfect in August and ordered a special foot pedal (98 bucks) and have been waiting since the Tuesday after Labor Day for my training.  Every day the trainer e-mails me and says she will get in contact with me later that day, and every day I do not hear from her.  I e-mailed her yesterday, stating I was seriously considering sending my foot pedal back but she said she would definitely train me yesterday afternoon, she was working 80 hours a week, and was so busy and guess what...not a word since.  This is just for some part-time extra money - how long do I wait before I really do send the foot pedal back? 
Lee Perfect
I would also say forget it on this one. In my opinion, you have been more than patient. Be sure though when you send that pedal back you get a return receipt from the post office. If they are that unorganized, I would want proof they received it so they cannot come back later and say they never got it.
Lee Perfect
Nice people, but never enough work. I hardly have any work during the day. Very slow. I think they have too many transcriptionists on the account.
Lee Perfect
I had to resign because I never had enough work to do. The QA supervisor is under a lot of stress since she is undergoing chemotherapy. It takes a very long time for her to get back with you. There are other better jobs out there, but you just have to look carefully. They put you in a typing pool, which I hated because they hired way too many MTs on the account and when I logged on to work, my que was totally emptied. I'm experiencing the same thing with my current job as well. I'm beginning to think I need to find a different career!!!!
Lee Perfect
Does anyone know why Lee Perfect requires Emdat experience in their ads for jobs.  Is this system that difficult to learn? After working for several nationals, none of them have ever required that I  know their platform before they will hire me.  How is Lee Perfect to work for.  Pros and cons, please.  TIA
Lee Perfect
I always ran out of work. I do not like being in typing pools. I could never be guaranteed my daily line count. Be careful.....
Lee Perfect
You must have Emdat experience. I sent my resume to them because I had everything they wanted except the Emdat experience, and they wouldn't even consider me. Do you know why they would require that experience? I have never had any difficulty learning a platform before.
Lee Perfect
They hired me immediately without EMDAT experience. I had lots of ortho experience. However, they never had enough work for me to do so I looked elsewhere. I do not like typing pools. The lady who is in charge of hiring is very nice, but is under a tremendous amount of stress. She is undergoing chemotherapy. She is probably swamped with applications because she placed ads for tons of different positions. I would just keep e-mailing her back and tell her you are experienced. EMDAT is a breeze to learn even if you do not have experience.
Lee Perfect

I sent my resume to Lee Perfect responding to their ad on the Job Board here...they e-mailed me back with a test that included a zillion questions regarding everything from A-Zand another test on the usual medical stuff.  Does anyone know if it is worth going through all the hoops?  Are they good to work for and how about their cpl rate, is that good or not so good.  Not sure I want to go through all this before knowing the answers to my questions.


TIA


Help please...Lee Perfect

I am interested in hearing from current MTs who work for Lee Perfect.  How are they to work for and would like to know if you are able to get good line counts with EMDAT, and if so, how long does it take for you to become productive.  I am especially interested in hearing from hem/onc transcriptionists and what they think of these accounts.  Thanks so much for your time.


Lee Perfect...
Lee Perfect - like them.
TTS - they stink
Focus - they stink
You can also look at the following link for a list of companies that have eScription accounts.

LEE Perfect
Hello!  I got an email from Lee Perfect telling me that I passed their test.   I was wondering about their platform is, good pay, pay on time, good accounts, etc, etc.  Hopefully I can speak to her tomorrow regarding this information but would like your opinions first
Lee Perfect
I did not like working for them. I never had enough work to keep me busy. I was constantly running out. The pay was good, but my paycheck stunk because I never had enough work to do. I also do not like being in typing pools and they do not assign you your own doctors. Good luck.
Lee Perfect
Lee Perfect is great! Very prestigious - no insurance, however.
Well, they are not perfect for everyone.

I know somebody who worked there who had a terrible account.  The high line rate could not offset it.  It's a fine company and the people are nice, but so much really depends on the account. 


I liked Lee Perfect.
They paid well and left me alone to type. I only left because they lost the account and I didn't want to work on their other software.
Perfect? If you like 7.5 cpl....

NEVER said perfect, sm
I'm not being defensive here of my post, it had errors, I even posted right below it that I knew it had errors.

I have never said I am perfect. I said I have received 100% quality reviews consistently for the last 5 years, having been an MT for almost 11. This has been with more than 1 company and with more than 1 person reviewing my work - all far more experienced than myself.

Errors when posting on boards mean nothing, they don't pay my bills, so why should I waste time if the point comes through as intended, regardless of misspellings - everyone knew what I meant.
Lee Perfect does. nm

Anyone with Lee Perfect - sm

I've seen people complain about different platforms with Lee Perfect.  Do they still use different platforms and which would be the best one to work on?  I do not want training on any system.  Is there an exText account? 


Also, people have mentioned that you work in a pool and thus have run out of work in the past.  Is this still the case? 


Thanks for any info.
