High turnover rate? I don't think so. I have worked with the same group sm
for the past 2 years and the only change has been that the account got busier and 5 or 6 people were added. Keystrokes is a great company, and they do a lot for all of us.
I worked there a long time ago. FInally got paid by going in with a group who got a lawyer. sm
I can't believe they're still in business!
Not all hospitals cover all specialities.

  I don't think that was a silly question to ask. 


Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
I worked in an orthopedic office
not that long ago that used Dictaphone and our servers would go down quite a bit. It seemed like at least once a week. So I think it's a Dictaphone problem. As far as the work load, I'm getting pretty disgusted. This is going on at least 3-4 weeks of low to no work. My first thought would be an overhire, but they are still hiring for new accounts - why don't they give some of those new accounts to the MTs that already work there who are out of work. Doesn't make sense to me. I've asked for backup accounts, and keep getting the answer that the work is low everywhere. Starting to worry.
I worked out of the Monrovia office
and was a victim of all the shenanigans. The suits think they can, well, you know, on the MTs. Yep, yep, yep.
I worked for them also and the greatest office staff. .. nm

I worked for them about 2 years ago...didn't have to go to the office
to train though, did it at home. At the time they paid by the character...some off the wall formula to get the actual pay, but worked out to around 8 cpl so they said. QA sucked at their job, just didn't have the knowledge I guess. And management...you just don't want to work there!
they are NOT Indian owned - I worked for them in the office
I said they offshore. But THEY ARE NOT Indian owners. They are American owners deep into scientology and the whole L Ron Hubbard thing - not that that makes a difference, but just thought I would throw that in there.
True, but if you worked in an office you could still do all those things
and get paid a decent hourly wage for 8 hours ;) See? I am shocked by many recent posts of MTs stating they type 150 or 175 lph, and at what, 8 or 9 cpl? That's like $12-16 an hour when years ago many of us made $25-30 an hour on average. I am fortunate to still be paid that well but I know it's not the norm. I just don't understand when or why this became acceptable, and just because you can work at home??? and/or can you actually live on those wages in some states???
Wow. I worked for Medifax 15 years go. My office
nm
Search shows they're management consultants to docs/surgeons. No mention of being tranny

friend of mine worked in their office in Annapolis - sm
Two of her checks bounced. Owner flies off to India every other week to check on offices in India. His sales force is US, but 90% of work goes to India. Apparently the owner takes care of the India people and sales force first and foremost before he takes care of the US MTs and editors. This was a year ago - I don't know if things have changed/
Might be only the endocrine doc in a GI group, only the pacemaker doc in a cardio group, etc. nm

The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone. 
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

MT Group
I would never work for her again.  Very moody, extremely picky.  She double checks to make sure there are 2 spaces after every period, not 1 and not 3.
mt group
Does anyone have any info on the MT group?  Thanks  
MT Group
Too many accounting problems - slow pay, bounced checks, short checks.
MT Group
I have worked for them, and regardless of Melanie's posting, I did have bounced checks, late checks, short checks.
You have that right. Where this group of SM
princes and princesses came from, who knows.  All these demands for certain hours, certain accounts---when you do give it to them the work is ATROCIOUS and they don't finish what they just demanded to have due to family, medical, pet emergency.
seems like one group is

describing their experience at a company and the defenders are attacking the individuals posting with characteric assassination.  Let's be adults here.


 


ABJ Group? Does anyone
know if they went out of business? Cannot find them anywhere, and their website is not there either.  I also have an email address, but it came back as undeliverable.  Anyone have any current information about them? Thanks.
Yes, there was a group of 12 or more. nm

Another group
I have been involved in starting groups with a specific purpose in mind before. What happens every time is that a bunch of different personalities get together for a common cause, then they start fighting over different ideas on how things should be done, lose sight of the original purpose, and the next thing you know it is like being back in the sandbox in kindergarden and nothing gets accomplished and the whole thing fizzels.
You really should not group all MTs together. nm
Not all of us whine, connive, or are disloyal. Personally, I am a very loyal IC. I show up and work when I say I will, produce top quality documents, and am appreciated by my accounts.

Maybe you have just come across a few bad apples, but not all of us have poor work ethics and personal values.

You should think before you write something so generic as this.
TT group

Isn't there a chat group on Twitter or Facebook for Transtech MTs??  How do you join it??


do not lump us all into that group, please!
Some of us out there still do what we say we are going to do, produce excellent quality work, and have plenty of experience. I just cannot find an honest employer who pays well these days. Seems there are issues on both sides of the fence! I am not sure what the solution is. Ideas? :-)
WestTran group
anybody know anything about WestTran group LLC.  the good,the bad,the ugly?!  Thanks!
Growing with a new group of
They started a group of hospitals based in TN, and are adding them one at a time during the year.  Lots of ER and acute care positions, we get emails noting the new accounts and added positions. 
MT Group, any information would
x
Seriously? That's what The Group Formerly Known as AAMT SM
wants to do. We all take a test, send them lots of money and belong to their group. I'm sure it will be a lot of money. After all, it takes a lot to set up shop in Modesto, CA and, ohhh!, hope it wasn't in the line of those fires!

Truth is, most MT's cannot afford to join a union, if there were such a thing.
TT needs to get their own Yahoo Group or something
TransTech is such a good company so when the least thing goes wrong they immediately hop on here and announce it to the universe. It's called making adjustments, people.

If you can't handle it FIND ANOTHER JOB and stop taking over this board with the same old sad song every day.
Sorry about that, I truly didn't mean to put you all in 1 group. nm
nm
Private group? Where?
Sorry, I know I must have missed something..haven't been here in a while. Is there a private TT group and where? TIA
You should not have quit that group
The only things not allowed are names of accounts and bashing other people.
TransTech group...sm

I think I saw a while back someone post something about a TT group?  Could someone please email me this info?


Thanks


A group note was probably sent to

Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING

Yahoo group
A Yahoo group for Landmark MTs for support, discussion, and friendship has been created! Send me an email for the address to join.

currently only 1 group of MDI hospitals is VR

I work for a group of doctors ...
that make up 5, and average 6 tapes a month ... that makes up about $800/month. The rest of my work is on word of mouth, and I do not charge by the line nor the hour, but rather by the length of time. I have never advertised, but I do get calls from practically all over the country to do medical transcription. As I said, none of these are for nationals. I have tried that route many many times, but to keep running out of work and constantly being switched from one account to another to another was nonproductive.
DSG=Dictation Services Group
nm
They are a great group to work with and
if you are a good MT, very accommodating. Good Luck!
DSG (Dictation Services Group-GA)
Does anyone have any info as to why this company seems to be hiring a lot lately? Are they having a bit exodus of transcriptionists? Any info would be appreciated. I would consider working for DSG, but some recent posts and DSG's recent numerous ads make me leery. Thanks.
Dictation Services Group
Anyone know anything about this company...I saw they use DocQScribe according to the Job Seekers Board and they're looking for QA for all shifts. TIA!
Yes, DSG (Dictation Service Group) uses DQS.
nm
No, but they did hire a consulting group to take over the
management of the MTS, and things went downhill quickly from there. We started getting bombarded with e-mails daily regarding the backlog (even with little to nothing on the system), and then they became very demanding about working extra when the minutes started building. Primary and backup accounts were always caught up.
The only communication is through your account manager. Don't expect to hear back from anyone higher. You're just wasting your time.
