Which company is this? I post here all the
time and would like to know if my company was the culprit.  Thanks.
Why post this if you are not going to say the company name?

Have to post about this company now...
Hi all, I've been through the grind over the last few years like so many MTs trying to piece together IC work, getting a good job here and there only to be forced into VR with as much as 60% pay cuts, etc. etc., so I just wanted to say for a change, THANK YOU to the one company that has kept me afloat through all this misery. It's a small company that I've worked for over a year now part time (wish I could be full time, but there just aren't the accounts available). This company is AccuSTAT out of Wisconsin. The pay is above average, the working conditions are great, things are run neatly and sensibly, and it is a pure pleasure to work there, like it used to be at the great smaller MTSOs before 2000. I know, it sounds like I'm some kind of company official plugging this way, but I'm just a lowly MT who kind of stumbled into the job when I needed it the most. As many bad experiences as I've had over the past few years (and posted about here, too), I am just so grateful to them and thought I should say so.

If you have the chance to work for them, I have to put in my 2 dollars and say go for it. With all the pressures on smaller MTSOs today, though, how long can they keep operating in a way that's profitable for the MT as well as for them? It doesn't seem like a good climate these days for any honest company. It does seem like work is starting to trickle back to the States and I hope that continues in a big way (I've taken another job outside of MT to fill in the gaps, hence my name). I hope all the small (and large, if there are any) MTSOs who are such an asset to the industry can hold on until then.

We just never hear about these good companies enough because they seldom have to advertise for MTs, but I think they deserve a mention and some credit for what they do. I know I'll be there as long as they have any work for me. I do hope that some of the hospitals who are tired of poor quality of work and questionable billing practices will take a second look at companies like AccuSTAT that are have always been committed to high standards, and do such a good job of keeping MT morale so high -- always the best way to ensure excellent transcription, IMHO, though so often not even considered these days. OK, off my soapbox, I know I sound nerdy but sometimes you just have to say it out loud.

Don't know company, but post seems complete to me. nm
 
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?
They all post below, but not yet one of them will say what company they recruit for. What is sm
up with that?  Does anyone wonder?  LOL.  I sure do.
If the company were more forthcoming, we would not have to post here.

This should have been under Cenla company post.

it's okay to post company name, per moderator.
nm
this is for post further down, yes company board,
'have you ever worked out of the home'...sorry for confusion.
Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
Main board.  What's wrong with that?  Isn't that ok to do? 
SATISFIED MTs, Please post initials or name of your company here

If you are happy with your job, please post company name or initials here.


Dissatisfied MTs, post initials of company here
Let's take a poll
I know nothing about this company, but I just wanted to say just because she wouldn't post her na
means absolutely nothing.  There are reasons why a person may not want to post his or her name about such a volatile issue.  I was in the same boat a few months ago.  I would have implicated someone else.  Sorry, this may not make sense, but I'm just pointing out that she may have a valid reason.
Post on Main Board now about her company. nm

That may be but if companies can't post ads without company names,

Your post makes my point. If IC, company is NOT

I also could have written your post.. Does your company start with a .....
T...??? It just sounds way too familiar and I have cut back on working for them because I'm sick of getting the garage that they won't send to the Indians
I moved this post to the Company board. NM

I'm like to know the answer to her post also. I have worked for an MT company in NY state,
and while I lived in another state at that time, I received full benefits; Ic or employee status had no bearing on receiving benefits.  If I were the original poster, I would check this company out very thoroughly. Something just doesn't sound right tax-wise.
In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them
y
but a great post - my company gets bashed all the time too.
nm
Don't have mine yet either...agree with above post about company going downhill..sm
A constant lack of work since November.  One day we are working and then the next day we are told to sign off because of no work and to not sign in until they tell us. In total since November I have missed 17 days due to no work.  That is a lot of money for me.  Hard to get another job because I need my insurance.
Again, your post is showing your lack of knowledge of the company now. sm
I am not going to argue with you but suffice to say that RD is no longer here either. It has obviously been a while since you were an employee of the company. I don't know and don't care why you left/or were let go, but do not speak of something you know absolutely nothing about. It only looks bad on you.
MODERATOR why is this company allowed to post a job opening here
when it's an offshore company???  They are looking for in-house MTs, and they are located in Pakistan...

Is Transliterator a recuiter for a company using VIaneta? Her post sounds like a commercial.

I find this post funny. If a company advertises constantly, posters question if they are losing peo
3 weeks, since 5/24, there are posts that question if they are growing. Who cares if a company is growing or not as long as they have enough work for their MTs. I started PT with KS two weeks ago and will be going FT 7/10 after my long-awaited and much-needed vacation. They have treated me very well and have plenty of work if the account I work on is any indication. I also came to them on the recommendation of several MT friends who work there, all of whom are very happy and have been for a while.

If you want to work for a particular company, your best bet is to contact them. I have read in several publications that more jobs are filled before advertising than after the fact.

Give them a call, especially if you like/love radiology!
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make.  I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me.   We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level.    Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination.  The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner.   Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter.  Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter. 
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site.  There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry.  For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

I've been with the company almost 10 years. I know the truth. Hawaii was a company-paid vacation.

They do not offshore. The owner's original company was bought by MQ; started a new company, whic
That's about all I know. I would give them a try. They sounded good!
Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.

Must be a small company. I have never talked to the owner of the company I work for. sm
He wouldn't have time. Why would someone talk directly to the MTSO? Most do not know (or care) about the details just the big picture.
