eTransPlus, Medquist, WordzXpressed, OSI, and Spheris all offer employee status.  I work at Keystrokes and am quite happy there.  


Good luck!

Any STM that does not reply to her people is a jerk and the head of operations needs to know.

I have been offered positions at all three of these companies, but having a hard time deciphering all the negative comments on here. Yes, I know how to search archives, so please don't even go there. No, I am not just looking for positives about a company. I am trying to make an educated choice, but my head is spinning. Most posts seem to be either from haters or cheerleaders. Is anyone currently or recently employed at TT, SS or KS, willing to post both pros AND cons of your experience with said company? TIA

Any info on this company greatly appreciated.  Cannot seemt to find anything.

Has anyone heard Encompass?  They seem too good to be true so what's the deal here?  Thanks in advance.

Regarding Encompass, it depends largely on your specific manager and account assignment.  Mine rarely concerned herself with my specific strengths and weaknesses, and often mandated overtime without, of course, asking.  Also, you have to watch the paycheck to make sure it is accurate; mine was often lacking, despite the fact that I was very specific and accurate on my timecard.  Another thing, my manager/account was regularly adding new dictators and worktypes for the weekend, at close of business on Friday, when no one was around to answer my questions.  They tell you that you can set your own schedule, but that's not always true, either.  Good luck.
That is Encompass. n/m

When I was there, as far as QA rating, the benchmark expectation was for 99.5%.  When I had ratings of only 99%, the manager said that it could be improved, but that 99% was acceptable.  I guess everyone's experience is different.  But, I felt like rented equipment when I worked at Encompass.
Encompass
I'm glad to hear this. I am scheduled to start with them in a week or so. What are your accounts like?
Anyone have anything to say about Encompass?

TIA

I am at Encompass (very part-time), very happy. Nice people, honest, pay is very much average (higher rates for p.m. and weekends). Don't have their insurance, but it's pretty good, and you can qualify pro rata at only 30 hours a week. Geedub

I worked there for about 4-5 months in 2007 when they took over my hospital's transcription. They weren't a good fit for me. You have to stick to a pretty strict schedule, have to work your hours, and expected make up missed hours if there is no work during your shift which on my accounts was a lot. Very little communication. Big push for VR. Average pay based on the time of day you work. Very detailed account specifics.
Encompass
They do our overflow work and are a very good company. They use ExText. Heard they pay well for quality work and are choosy about who they hire.
Encompass MT Inc.
Anyone with any info on this company? Did a search but nothing came up. 
Encompass MT Inc.
Thanks for that info!
Encompass

As of 2006-2007--No, they don't offshore.  They do subcontract with other MTSOs.  The owner of the company does not allow MTs to know each others email addresses, thereby keeping them from communicating with each other.  They seem to revere the QAs, tech department and account managers much more than the MTs.  Some of the account managers are quite bossy and QA can be quite condescending.  IMHO, at least one MT who I know was treated like rented equipment while working there.  They often run out of work on primary accounts, while they have mandatory overtime if the workload demands it.  If you meet their specifications, they do offer benefits for part-timers.  If you've been there less than 90 days, you may be required to work all holidays; if you've been there at least 90 days, you can request which holidays you would prefer to work.  However, if there's no work available on that holiday, you don't get paid for it.  If you have requested a certain day off and your manager approves it, keep all documentation, for you might get a call asking why you are not working; at least one manager there had a habit of forgetting such approvals.

I have been through the same issues but have not been able to find another job that is any better than where I am at now.


I applied with Encompass and was told that they do not hire New York state residents due to the high cost of doing business in our state.  I had spent the time filling out their application and completing their testing before finding this out, so I just wanted to save you the trouble if you are in NY. I wanted to forward that e-mail to the governor of New York becauseI was so angry that where I lived would prevent me from getting a good job!

Does anyone have any information on Encompass (good or bad)? Thanks!
Encompass

Hi all,  Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge of working with Encompass out of Wisconsin or Sten-Tel out East. . . good, bad or inbetween?  I'm very comfortable with the Escription platform which both use along with straight dictation and am interviewing with both.


Thanks.


Encompass
Can anyone please supply current information about Encompass in Wisconson? 
Encompass
I worked there over a year ago, so this is not really recent info. I quit because I did not like the strict schedule/time clock that they require. If that's not a problem for you, they are a good company. The trainers and support staff are really nice. My accounts would be out of work and I had to jump around from account to account. But that seems to be everywhere. I think they push VR pretty hard too.

All in all, it seems that people rarely post on here about them so maybe that means their transcriptionists are happy and not venting on this board.

Encompass
Anybody with current information about Encompass?   Thanks a lot.

Any info on Encompass would be appreciated!

Encompass Medical Transcription
I am saddened to hear of the loss of your jobs.  I will keep this short and sweet, but I want to let each of you know that I began working for Encompass last year and have known the owner for several years.  I have been to several conferences with her in recent months and we have heard over and over again about how sending work off shore is so much more profitable.  There isn't enough room on this forum to explain our company's passion about remaining US based.  I cannot promise each of you jobs but I can only hope that you would take a look at our website (www.encompassmt.com) and see if we might be able to help you.  We are proud to say we are an employer of choice and our MTs would agree.   
Anyone ever hear of Encompass? would appreciate any info.

Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of them.


 


Anyone have any recent experience with Encompass MT? sm

Any information would be appreciated.  They sent me a card in the mail, extolling their virtues, but I have never heard of them.


TIA


Current Encompass info please
Does anyone currently work for Encompass or know anything about this company? Any information good or bad appreciated. Thanks so much.
Would someone who works for Encompass please email me? sm
I am considering an offer from them and need to see about clarifying something about their insurance.  Thank you!
