I would have to assume it is because Davis supports mtstars although Davis has never advertised for employment here.  They use the 'other' MT job site.

Pay has never been on a timely schedule and comes late no matter what is said differently.  There have been many instances of bounced checks.  Because of that and problems being able to have work every day, I left there.  The pay scale was just re-vamped so I don't know what kind of money can be made.  That'll have to be answered by someone else.  Maybe with the new payscale payment will be able to be made on a regular, timely schedule. 

Things are always changing so who knows?  Maybe it would be a good fit. Good luck.

First of all, for all the MTs who have recently been hired and who are no longer with Premier, I apologize for your unhappiness.  I value this industry and the many MTs who have been hired by me for 15 years past.  I also value my clients -- so much that I take the extra step to make sure that the MT is a good fit.  I am embarrased that I fell victim to a scenario that I felt was a benefit to the MTs who have been out in the field looking for a good MT job.  As there are always two sides to every store, here is my side:

Premier Office Technologies, Inc. has been continually growing since its inception in 1991.  The past two years have been super aggressive with referals (thank you all who have participated in making this happen!).  As a result, we signed six new client contracts 29 days into the year 2008 which resulted in my having to hire a minimum of 20 new MTs.  Back in February I posted a job and hired two individuals from that ad.  They are still with me today.  I received an email from a smaller MTSO who offerred to me her staff of MTs and told me to hault my own recruiting, as she would take full responsibility of hiring, training, QA'g, paying, etc. of these MTs.  I trusted her and did that.  She came to me two weeks later and said she was not able to commit to the amount of work that is required to do this.  She, therefore, relinquished these girls to me directly.  I attempted to hire all of them since they were offerred a position with this MTSO and have invested their time with this process.  Unbeknownst to me, I soon learned that none of these MTs ever worked for that company, but were hired for the purposes of working on my  accounts.  They also were not even tested.  I trusted their resume and my own conversations with them.  I was literally given a handful of 13 MTs at one time.  This is something I would have never done on my own.  I do feel that this is where the MTs feel that I was disorganized.  I was merely making an attempt to make sure everyone had a position with a lot of work available to them. This is the number one reason that the MTs are seeking employment in the first place, i.e., that their prior employer did not have enough work to keep them busy.  With all of the best resources that Premier has available, it was very difficult to get each of the 13 MTs installed, trained and up and running on each of thier scheduled requests.  However, those who have made it are happily working and accomplished their goal.  Those who have not, I am sorry that you have found your experience with Premier a not-so-pleasant one.   I have learned a valuable lesson from this scenario and will never agree to this type of hiring practice again.  I am told that this person is recruiting again, so all MTSOs should be aware that this happens. For all of you MTs looking for work, I hope you find what you are looking for.  I am confident that any new MT who is looking for a good MTSO to work as a team player and who understands the ebs and flos of this industry can make a happy marriage with Premier.  For years, Premier has had a very good reputation and plans to keep that trend flowing well into the future.

surprised that anyone posts anything here. 

I do not work for Keystrokes but I like to see what is out there, and the benefits they are offered, if coupled with a decent line rate and steady work load, are better than most I have seen.

Gone are the days of fully-paid pension plans.  Gone are the days of three weeks' vacation.  Employers cannot afford these, and not just in transcription.

If you aren't interested or do not like something, just ignore the post.  You obviously were interested or you would not have read it.

Can't we cut back on the nasty posts on this board?  If it does not concern you, don't criticize. 

If you are not looking for a new position, don't gripe about ones that are being offered.  If you are looking and a company's line rates, benefits or perks don't meet your personal requirements, why cut that company down?  Just move on and good luck finding what you are looking for. 

I agree with the poster about being mad at the entire industry, but I still love my career choice.  It has been a good fit for me and has allowed me to live a nice lifestyle. 

If I wasn't happy, I'd move on to another career.

and the picture I get of myself or any of my MT friends out robbing banks or such is pretty darn funny. :).

Seriously, I  know the issue with women committing crimes is mainly due to drugs, but I feel everyone is due a second chance.   

Anybody out there have any experience with Diskriter?  I have 35 Y experience and am a 23 Y veteran of MQ.......left in 2006.  I was there when it was Transcriptions Limited and then went to MQ and things were GREAT.  But,,,,,,,we all know what happened.

The reason I ask opinons of experienced MTs is because it makes a difference.  I do not mind major medical centers, I do not mind ESLs, OP reports and all the rest.  Its part of the job.

This company has interviewed me for a full time position, NO VR, plenty of work, etc. etc.  Sounds like what I was use to.  Anybody have any experience with them?

I don't want to hear about how all you get is ESLs, OP reports, crap work, etc.  I already know about all that and to me its part of the job always has been and always will be.  Just general info if you have it.

If you have less than 25 Y I want to hear your experience too.  I just put that number in because after that many years, we have done it all and seen it all and know that ESLs, OPs, major medical center crap goes with the territory!

than 12 years ago?

I'm curious. I'd like to learn a lot more about TT. As I read these boards, I wonder and pray that TT never outsources AND is never bought out by another company-- at least not until I retire.

but I can answer your questions the best I can. I work for Spheris, but I've only worked there for a few months.

1.  As far as I know, they only hire employee status. Like I said, I've only worked there a few months, so I don't know every little thing about the company.

2.  They give you a primary account, and you can have secondary and terciary accounts for when work gets thin in your primary. I personally have never had to work my secondary or terciary accounts yet. There has always been work on my primary.

3.  Yes they have a minimum. 10,200 per 2 week pay period.

4. You HAVE to use their equipment. They have their own platforms and computers that they send to you. They come with the whole 9 yards (footpedal, headphones, Shorthand, keyboard, etc.).

5. As for the starting pay, I think it's 6 cpl. Don't quote me on that though. It gets updated all the time. It also depends on what level you get hired on on, i.e., acute care, clinic work, etc.

Hope I helped a little!!
