    WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
    calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
    You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa
    This is pasted from the bottom of the email blast.

    Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.

    Here is the email blast from ILHIMA. The KS logo is at the top but does not paste here:

    Oh, well, then please don't wait around for it. I
    wouldn't want you to be disappointed.

    Gosh.
    But wait and see. :)

    I had work the first 2 full weeks I was there.. afterwards I was bombarded with hours and lines to make up.  i.e., 11-15 hours every single week with a paycheck that never topped $200 except for my first one because they pay $200 to train. They always wanted everyone available every hour of every day. At least my TM is.  You need to come back after you are there for a while and let me know how it is REALLY going for you. 


    Only excuse I ever got was the doctors are on vacation thats why no one has work... umm I had like over 50 when I stopped counting in my work pool.. so I highly doubt it.


    I really do hope everything works out for you.  


     


    I was told we can never use our own computer.  Everyone has to use theirs.


    wait, there's more

    OH MY GOSH - thank you so much for posting this information.

    I got an email from them telling me about a job and that I was preselected. Everything about the email was so professional, even the mention of sending them $11.95 to keep active with their staffing service, taking a typing test and sending the results, etc.

    I got the email the evening before Thanksgiving and they needed a reply by the Friday after Thanksgiving because the job was supposed to start the next week. I got the feeling of [quote] hurry so you don't miss this opportunity.[/quote]

    IT SOUNDED AND LOOKED SO GOOD - and I didn't have a lot of time to research this company - so I started with these forums and lo and behold here was my answer.

    I sure appreciate that you took the time to input this information.

    I fell for it the first time that they sent me something. I think it had to do with data entry but then they said that the positions have been filled. I find out that there was only like 2-4 positions that they had opened.

    Now wait. Don't tell me there are

    what you type in, no matter what your Expander plays out.  For instance, if you type copdx and that comes out as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you should get paid for all the characters/spaces in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, right?  Not just five letters for copdx.  I'm asking because of the post below.


    Heck, if I worked for a company that wasn't paying me for stuff the I took the time to put in MY expander to make transcription faster and more profitable for ME, then I'd just throw my expander out and type everything the hard way.


    Please tell me there is no company that cheats MTs like that!


    wait!!!
    If you are an IC, you get paid when the hospital pays the client = stop complaining and deal with it!
    Is this the one where you wait (sm)
    forever for the first pay?
    Wait? What?
    Wait... Medware was bought out by another company or they are merging with another company?

    What shall happen to all of us MedWare employees? I love MedWare!!! It's the best one I've worked for yet. :)
    wait until you have been there a while
    to say you love them. I worked for them for a few years and got so tired of the bad platform and the fact they were always promising this and promising that...and it would be real soon...but after waiting 3 years none of this ever happened...so went to greener pastures. A lot of their platforms are not transcription friendly at all.

    My 2 cents worth...I know a lot of people do like them and that is fine...for them anyway!
    No, I don't have to wait. First job comes sm
    in about 30 seconds and I start typing after it is done. The others download in the background.
    You should only have to wait (sm)
    for the first one.  After that, they download while you are transcribing.  Not slow at all.  (?)
    Wait a while and see then
    fm
    Oh, just wait

    Anytime now there will be a psychotic posting from a member of the management team telling us how YOU didn't pass their test and meet their high standards, and how THEY didn't want to hire you.  Anytime now, probably within the hour or two.


    Just wait
    If you work on a busy account you will be called on your days off to work if they are behind in work.
    Wait a sec...do you mean CTS or TRX?
    Your post doesn't indicate to which company you're referring.

    Thanks for clarifying :-)
    Can't wait-what will we get? Maybe sm
    a card that we can print out ourselves? 
    Wait a sec -
    Are you the OP or another MT who was burned by LM? If you're not the OP, when did this happen to you?

    That would make 3 of you in this thread that weren't paid, and that's pretty scary.
    Why would you wait to see what others SM
    are doing?  Get out now!  If you wait, you will be a latecomer to whatever company you end up with.  Why don't you be one of the first?  I have never understood staying even a minute with a company that had me sitting around waiting for work.  Move on.  I have not worked at TT, but I know how this goes. 
    Hey wait a minute....
    This all originally started way down below with a positive post about Transcend in answer to a question about the company.  Then, the naysayers hop on and start blah blah blahing all over the place.  So, I believe the trouble started at your door.
    Do you have to wait 90 days (sm)
    to be eligible for the health insurance, and do you really not have to work any holidays. How is the platform? Thanks for replying.
    Yes, wait 90 days. sm
    Yes, you wait 90 days for health insurance. You can request holidays off. The platform is a piece of cake.

    No problem at all. Feel free to ask other questions or email me at timetotype@hotmailnospam.com (take out nospam)
    Okay, wait a minute
    Well, you know, now that I check out my first apology, I see I didnt apologize before to you, just JMO.  I thought I had apologized to both of you.  So, I am also sorry if I said anything that hurt your feelings.  And thank you for  your apology also. 
    Just you wait and see if you dare go there !
    You will absolutely hate the job at TH. Try it if you MUST, tho.
    Now wait a minute...
    I am management remember?   not an MT!
    rewards given to those who wait!
    These rewards seem to come in benefit those who wait until the absolute last minute because then the work has piled up and the company offers bonuses for meeting X number of lines over the weekend? Who loses? The MTs who typed all week already and are reliable and TIRED at this point and cannot type over the weekend, so no bonus for them for being dependable the other 12 days of the pay period!
    I don't think I can wait that long!
    I haven't talked to anyone from Amphion, but their web site info looks great, especially the make your own schedule and holidays being completely up to the MT.
    Just wait. Like a lot of other romances, .....
    nm
    Don't do it. She asked all MTs to wait for their
    checks in January and told us that it would happen again in July. I had bounced checks, late checks and the owner is a snake. Not the same as Keystrokes. LeePerfect's owner's first name is not Lee.
    Isn't this where the pay is almost zip and you wait 6 wks for that first check? Or was it another
    s
    I always wait about 2-3 days before
    contacting a company I am really interested in. Sometimes they get so bogged down with resumes it is hard to keep up. Good luck!
    You might have to wait in line (LOL). nm

    Wait til they make it to the

    You have to wait one YEAR for PTO? Is that right??
    nm
    Right, you have to wait a year to get PTO.
    I think anyone anywhere can take vacation without pay.  Talk about dumb!  Trust me, getting vacation pay but not being able to use it for a year, is not a good thing.  I love it!!
