Rapid Transcription - CA (sm)

I know there are past posts that this company does not pay.  Does anyone have any recent experience, say within the last 3-4 months with this company?  I have an opportunity to transcribe for them, but need to make sure that I am going to be paid and ON TIME.  Thanks for any and all feedback.


Don't wanna get burned!!!


Rapid Transcription
I worked for Rapid for one night.  There was no training at all and I could not find out to whom you address a question.  The whole hiring process seemed very strange to me, so I quit before I could encounter a monetary loss. I do believe it is a company in India.
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly. sm
I left KS a few months ago after having a near nervous breakdown. I had too much going on in my life and thought that it would be better to go work in a hospital.

The Good: They are growing, have very stable accounts and keep all their customers. Pay is on time and there is direct deposit. The rules have become clear in what is expected of you. They are very personal.

The Bad: The insurance is terrible and expensive but I heard they are getting BC/BS in the fall for sure. The pay used to be late here and there for a few days. It is fixed now and has been for a very long time. The growth caused some changes that did not work and more changes were made to correct the problems caused, which seemed like chaos from the outside looking in.

The Ugly: They went through some terrible growing pains a few years ago and have been dodging bullets from former employees. There were late checks and no direct deposit. There was not a lot of work because they overhired.

The diagnosis: Once they got over the hump several months ago, things evened out and have been for a while. I want to go back but I'm afraid they won't take me.

How do I know all this? My best friend still works there and is very, very happy. I made a mistake leaving but now my life is on an even keel. I made a lot of money there.
DRC good, bad, ugly?
Any info i.e. are they good to work for or anything would be appreciated.
99% good, No Bad, No Ugly ... sm
Except for a short period of time when work ran low on one account only my experience has been 99% good. No place is perfect, but I have absolutely no complaints. The people treat me like a human being, I love the platform, the sound quality is great, they pay the long distance bill, the benefits are superior. Best move I ever made.

the good, bad, and ugly

I was wondering if anybody out there would be willing to give the good and bad about what company they work at, or used to work at.  I'm trying to figure out who it would be worthwhile to send resumes to and who I should just stay away from.  I'm interested in the management, scheduling, line requirements, pay rate, benefits, and provided equipment.  I'd greatly appreciate any info you have.  Thanks!

MTS of Texas..the good, the bad, and the ugly..sm
Good:  Pay on time, but the amount is almost always incorrect.  Bad & Ugly:  Pay by the minute.  Owners will tell you it equals out to be the same as being paid by the line.  NOT.  They use Meditech - a very antiquated version of it.  QA dept. is laughable (i.e., close enough, just leave it out).  Little to no IT support.  Owner recently sold the company to her son.

My experience was UGLY. Very ugly.
Just keep your other job until you're sure....good luck.
We were not ugly

We were not ugly.  Stacy came on and stated that her two  most important factors in chosing a company was to have a computer provided and to have paid maternity leave and that was in CAPS.  She did not state that she was wanting to earn more PTO time and to use that, she wanted to be PAID after having a child.  At 4 hours per pay period that is 12 days a year and that is pretty norm for this profession.  Like I told Stacy, would you pay a babysitter or a nanny when they wanted six weeks off and you had to pull in someone to do their job so you were paying double and earning the same income.  It is really hard to provide benefits and a decent pay in this field.  Yell at me all you want, but the balancing act is very hard to do.   And like the prior poster also said, the companies change so often between merges, buy-outs, and out sourcing that what you sign on for in 2006 probably won't be the same in 2007 or 2008 for sure.  So if stability is what Stacy wants, I think that she needs to look elsewhere like a union job or a state/city or county position where it is spelled out in black and white what she will receive for the next three years.  We did not mean to make you feel bad but again, you posted several times about maternity leave and we are not mind readers you should have posted need to accrue PTO at a faster rate.   But we were not nasty or ugly and just stated the facts in this field.


 


bad and ugly.

Not sure why you have to be ugly
What was the purpose of the very nasty responses to this question?  I happen to agree w/ the original poster on this and see no reason for why you had to be so hatefuly in replying.  Did it make you feel better?  Do you talk to your employers, friends, families, etc., this way?    If so, I must say I feel sorry for you AND them.
Why do you have to be so ugly about it?!?!
I did not take it as this person ripping apart any company at all.  They were just stating what so many on this board have stated many, MANY times and in a sense they are correct.  It does not take much to set up an automated reply, trust me if I can do it, anyone can.  I just don't understand why people have to attack others on this board when they are simply just stating THEIR opinion, if you don't like it then stop reading and move on to another post, it's that simple.

Need info on Oak Transcription. Good/Bad?

If you have any info good or bad about this company I would appreciate it.  Feel free to email if you don't want to post.


 


US Transcription has a good BC/BS plan....

that I think is relatively affordable - I pay $110 a month for single coverage, the deductible is $1500, office copay $20 ... all in all its about the best I have been offered or seen around. Don't know much about family coverage with it.  US also offers Flex Spending Accounts which some folks use to offset health costs.


When I left Keystrokes their insurance was very expensive .. I have heard rumors they have found a better one, but rumors do tend to abound, so I would take that with a grain of salt.


Hope this helps - good luck!


Rapid

It happened to me 2 years ago, and through some digging I found out it had been going on for over 2 years already.  I've been watching the posts since then, and it's still going on now.  I finally got my money, but it took quite a while.  I hope you manage to get some results with the AG.  Good luck!


 


Rapid
They have a long history of not paying.
Rapid

They have a long history of not paying people.  I worked for them 4 years ago, found out it had been happening for at least 2 years, and according to the boards, it's still happening.


RAPID
I applied for Radiology Trans.  Pay scale is WAY TOO LOW.  Don't bother
Rapid
I worked for them on several Rad accounts. Pay scale was great. The problem was getting the money I had earned. From what I found out, they have long history of not paying their people.
Rapid
This problem has been going on for years.  It's been over 3 years since I got my last paycheck from them.  I have diligently watched the boards since then to warn anyone else not to work for them.  I was threatened by Rapid's owner with a deformation of character lawsuit.  What a joke!
