I left OSI for MedQuist & still happier
NM
I left MedQuist last July and went to Keystrokes..(sm)
I like it there. They are very nice to work for. The pay is on time. I always have plenty of work on just one account, maybe a couple slow periods but there is still work to do. I also have a backup account but have only typed on it once because my main account has enough work. I type on Meditech and don't find it bad at all. I can still produce a lot of reports. I hesitated to leave MQ because I had been there 8 years and thought I would never leave. But I had several accounts and none of them had work and I was losing so much money. All in all, I'm glad I went to Keystrokes. Good Luck!
I left for the exact same reasons. But not from Medquist, another place.

Thank you Medquist people
To typing to long, I was not getting snotty with you. I had my reservations about working for MQ after reading the MQ page. I have decided NOT to take a job with them. I have been doing transcription for 28 years and dealing with these national companies since 2001, and there doesn't seem to be a good one to be found. I thank you all for responding and stopping me from making yet another mistake with one of these companies. I already has an inteview with another company today.
Someone suggested everyone has overhired a lot of former MedQuist people -
Not sure if this is true or not, but it is one possibility. A friend of mine says her checks have been less than half what they normally are for June AND July. Let's hope it picks up for us all soon!
Soooo many people have left!
I know that at least 20 or so people quit around the same time I did! Even though it is super annoying, it is sometimes funny to read their e-mails when they are panicking because they don't have enough people.
You see - all the good people have left OSI
She was super. She was treated very very badly at OSI. We will all be in better shape very soon as long as we can get another job before they are all taken. I think alot of people are leaving Medquist and they are going to be grapping some of the available jobs too. The old saying- Time is of the essence.
Thank you for your support. I know who you are. :)
There were just posts about SR people being left go
typing. Something smells fishy there.
may people have left spheris sm
Yes, I worked for them for 9 years and finally had to leave because they cut may pay in half. At least 4 people from my team alone have left, and I suspect many more are leaving. Horrible insurance with sky-high deductables, abusive team leaders, no holiday pay, expectations to work most holidays. I never got a raise in 9 years. Terrible place, they just keep cutting benefits/pay/perks.
Yes, some really great, talented people have left, and that's
always a danger sign to me. If upper management keeps being mentioned as a reason these good people are leaving, somebody should take notice. This company seems to be hemorrhaging talent and keeping an incompetent, power-hungry suit. It's hard to know whether to leave or stay. I would not recommend them to anyone right now.
Diskriter - interested in talking to people who left. SM
I am presently working for another company and am somewhat satisfied. Am considering Diskriter. I do not want to make a wrong decision. If you worked there and left, please let me know if you would be willing to give me some information (bad or good). I know people hesitate to get into specifics on this forum - email me and I will contact you. I am just so hesitant to make another change.
Any happy Transcenders out there? I know a couple people have left, not sure why. nm
I have heard other people comment on lack of work and have left for that reason. How much of an
issue can this be. Also, is the sound on these accounts poor. That is the other problems I have heard people comment on. I was really looking for uptodate comments. How bad are these issues at present. I dont want to leave one company with no work problems and go to another one with the same problem. I cant be available 24/7 to get work with having a family.

If you look back in the archives people left when they realized they couldn't make money with it.

Ohhhhh, sooooooo true -- Transtech tech people absolutely stink anymore since ____ left. He was the
greatest! Hated to hear that he had left. We got some real doozies for tech help now. The MT ends up training them. They are clueless as to what to do when we need help. TRUTH!
They ALWAYS have a BAD attitude in their voice, too -- like we MT's are a bother to them -- thought that is what they get paid for.
Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a
nm
It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.
What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.

Medquist is getting really bad
Been there for a long time (years and years) - am looking for another job now. They don't care about their employees, only their accounts. The pay is horrible and you almost never get a raise. Management only cares about management - not us lowly peons.

I did not like MedQuist's platform at all. All of the info required to be filled in was ridiculous (wouldn't have been so bad if they paid for the keystrokes). Also, I was switched between 4 different accounts during the first week. I was told during the interview that I would have one main account and a backup account.
Another complaint I have is that whenever I called the office, my calls were not returned. I had to just keep calling until the manager was available. I just did not have a very good first impression of them. Luckily, my previous employer took me back.
I would recommend anyone switching companies to try the new company out before turning in your notice. Sometimes you don't know how good you have it until you almost lose it.
I think it's only fair to say, though, that if I would have had a stable account and had a chance to get used to the doctor names, local cities, clinics, etc., I may have had an entirely different impression of MedQuist. Don't put too much weight into one transcriptionist's impression of a company. They may have 'easy' accounts.
I also have noticed that sometimes, the less qualified you are, the easier work you get, the more money you make.
MedQuist...
I work for the Ohio MedQuist and have had exactly ONE radiology account in the entire eight years I've been with 'em - I've never even HAD a secondary account. Needless to say I feel like these docs are old, old friends (and a few hated enemies) and the work is always there, easy docs, cutting edge technology and they leave me alone and don't bug me. Give 'em a try, I say.
MedQuist.
I work for MedQuist and make $25/hr. doing radiology - I've done exactly one account the entire 8 years I've been with MedQuist and have never run out of work. The doctors are great, they don't bother you and allow you to do your work and pay on time. Seems kewl to me. Radiology pays quite well there.
MedQuist.
Despite all the negative press and opinions, they are still probably the best - since they are the biggest they can afford to pay more, work always plentiful (at least in radiology) and they don't bug U to death (U don't have to clock out to go to the John). At least that's how it is at the Ohio Medquist - don't know about other branches but assume they are similar. There ARE perks to being with the biggest, I must say.

MedQuist uses DocQscribe!
Medquist pay
Anybody who works for Medquist, I am wondering what they pay?
MedQuist pay
0.850..I work at Midwest office..but we're supposed to be starting that scale pay thing in October which I know nothing about yet
MedQuist!
They want only the very best for their employees - we're like one big happy family!
The DQS is NOT with Medquist.
Thanks

VR and Medquist
Yeah, and if MedQ has anything to say about it, we all will be in the soup kitchens pouring up our family the needful food they need to survive on while the homeless shelter people protect us from our bill collectors!!!!!!!!!
Medquist
Medquist should never be on a list of 10-top companies to work for!
