Sounds like you have a great VR account

Posted By: playing devil's advocate on 2009-05-19
In Reply to: Just goes back to the rules and regulations of a - SS

but very demanding management.  Just like you wouldn't work for companies where the VR is really bad, I wouldn't work for a company that demanded I not erase and retype.  They're already cutting my pay...I'm not going to stand for them telling me I need to lose more money by doing it their way only, especially if the end product is the exact same.

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

That sounds great. I am having
trouble finding their E mail address.  Could you please give it out.  I would apply there.
Sounds great
Lets go together!!! LOL!!!
That sounds great !
Thanks for the info. I will do a little more research on them and maybe after the first of the year, I will contact them. This sounds like just what I want to add to my other MT job. The flexible part is what I like !!! Anyone on here work for them ?
Sounds great
Thanks for the info :-)
Sounds great to what some say others

Sounds like we may have been on the same account!
My manager actually quit on Thanksgiving day, which I thought was very strange! I quit at the beginning of March when things started getting even worse - they started changing the work pools, work started becoming less and less,and then the account that I was on even threatened to cancel their contract with SPI because of how horrendous things were going. I had 3 different account managers in one month! That's when I immediately found another company and left right away! No job security there!
Sounds like you are on the same account
I was on before leaving.  I know how you feel!
Sounds like we probably are on the same account
If so, that facility is supposed to be sending us more work types or more of the same type work very soon. I love that account, too!
Sounds like my account I had at
another MTSO. Had to have the TV muted (my husband had to try to read lips), had everything at full blast on my computer and headset, and STILL had to listen, listen and listen again to hear. The account could have been wonderful, too...had I only been able to HEAR what was being dictated.

I'll never work for an overflow facility again. It's bad enough we sacrifices our wrists and arms and back and shoulders...I'm not going to go deaf for 9 cpl, lol!!!
But their web site sounds so great...
And web pages are always truthful, right?
Sounds great now, but sooner or later..SM
the technology will develop to the point that it can do all of it all on its own. You probably won't even get a thank you card for helping them put the technology in place and keep the work load current while they worked out the kinks to get to the point where they don't need most of you any more. It will turn out to have been a real cheap buy for them in the end. A little bigger piece to you now in order to ensure they eventually get the whole cake. Such a deal!

If the format is in place for use of VR, why not demand they just give it to you and let you use it to get it right the first time instead of having to take the time to fix it for somebody else? The only reason it makes sense to do it this way is because of where these companies eventually see it taking them, which is to a place that does not include us.
TransTech sounds great
It sounds like I'm getting a good deal then. I've been working for Cymed for the past 9 or 10 months and have pretty much been happy, but I heard that Transtech was one of the better companies out there, so I decided to apply yesterday, and this morning I had an email telling me to call them, and they offered me a position right away. I didn't even have to take the test.
This sounds great. I would love to do mostly OPs. SM
Was that by your choice?

I think everyone's experience at work is different, and it is easier to be negative than positive.
Sounds like a great place, but I wish they
straightened out that I have been reading about here for months and offer some PTO the first year. Everybody needs at least a day or two for illness, child illness, or just some R and R within a year's time. Also wish they hired part time to start out. Oh well, maybe someday as it does sound like a good place to try out.
That is just wonderful. Great. Sounds
xx
Wow it sounds like a great situation
If you could make it through to the first check or if you have, if you can, I suggest that you put half of each check in checking and the other half in savings. Then, pay yourself biweekly. Be strict on yourself no advances because then in your mind you will think you have suddenly gotten a great windfall, only to find in 2 weeks you are not paid again. Sounds like you have a great situation this MT certainly would love it... but like you, this MT would have to be very strict after making it through a long month with no check, and then only taking half of that to put away in savings. Good luck on the project to do this. But in a way, it evens out and if you can learn to do it, you will be happy, your production will go up and maybe you will end up a paycheck or money ahead of the game so you can give yourself a raise! :)
Thanks! Axolotl sounds great!
I just sent in my resume for Axolotl. They sound great. Just looking for steady work flow, dependable and accurate paycheck and a little bit of respect in turn for the same. Thanks again!
I work on an account that sounds just like the one being described. sm
The difference is that I stayed with it and make excellent money. There has been a lot of MTs removed and moved, but it is a challenging account in terms of difficulty level. I love it now. The funny thing is that you are all arguing a point that you know nothing about. No one can know what an account is like in a day or a week. Several of us have been on it since KS get it over a year ago and it has grown from a 2-person account to a 10-person account and I heard it will be growing again. This is because KS is willing to only put their best MTs on there and will remove those that cannot handle it. This is NOT a bash at anyone's skills, just a fact that this is a hard operative notes account. I might be good at it, but it is my personal specialty.

It also IS internet, not c-phone.
Sounds like my job now except I'm being bounced from account
to account with all totally different client profiles.  On the 10th different one today already.
Sounds great! The problem is, I have been looking for 3 months - sm
And cannot find a company like what you are describing. Why aren't you willing to name the company? Do they not have enough work to go around?
Would you have to do some in-house training first? Sounds great if
s
Sounds great! Is it Word-based?
I am totally clueless about it!
Sounds great there...I was looking at their website just last week (sm)

don't know if they are hiring though..but can you answer 1 more question?  Re weekends: Do you have to work every weekend or maybe 2 weekend days a month?  TIA. 


Sounds like you work at a great place
That seems like a much more reasonable line rate for VR, 0.065 - correct.  A lot better than the 0.03 0 0.045 that most offer.  Would it be okay to ask who you work for? 
Is this account in Miami? Sounds like a joke, but
zz
Sounds like you work for the company/account

I do FT.   I'm 17 hours short this week.  Fortunately there is plenty of work today, my day off.  I won't be able to get any overtime but hopefully I'll be able to make up most of those 17 hours. 


Wow...now that sounds great. I hate using my PTO for holidays ...not fair/nm
xx
Sounds great as long as you are a fast learner
Keystrokes must be a great company or landing a a lot of new contracts hiring all of these people.   
I'm newly hired at EtransPlus. Everything sounds great
I am SO ready and willing to sit and work my hours and get in my lines, because I've been looking for a good, dependable MT job now for quite a while. I have an IC job, but the work isn't there all the time & I've fallen behind in all my bills, including rent - so it's a relief that I found something at this point.

What I'm worried about is if my employ at eTransPlus will end up just like all the other companies I've worked for in the past, lately the past few years, where the work dries up and I'm left looking for MORE work again. I'm SO TIRED of this! I just want to sit and work but can't find reliable, steady work for some reason.

I'm stressed out, poorer than I ever was, and really getting too old for all this.

I guess I'm just venting because I'm so worried that this is my last shot at some kind of steady work, and if it doesn't work out as far as work flow, I'm really up the creek, seriously. Too stressed out.

To ex eTransPlus employees, what made you quit? Did you have enough work?
25% sounds good to me too. I put it in my regular account, but I write it somewhere else so I don&#

This company sounds great, but they don't accept satellite users. :(

Other than that, from what I can see, they provide equipment/software, etc.  Sounds like a really great company.  I would apply if they could look over the satellite situation. I have had no problems with three other companies using satellte.


Sounds Great.. I have renewed faith but I didnt really doubt they cared..
They are pretty great to work for..
Yes that was the account I was on and it was GREAT account...sm
So if they are going to mess several things up: 1) Pay for their employees, 2) Losing a big account like that one, 3) Hiring supervisors that just wanted to chit-chat and lose production then I would think that is NOT a company to go for. But I had to learn it the hard way - having my payday be weeks late during Christmastime. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt for 2 more paydays - they were late also....
I'm on a great account that is always busy - sm
It is a hospital in Maryland and has very easy docs. If you get hired, maybe they will put you on that hospital account. Super duper easy. Very few ESLs. I am making my line count is 5-6 hours and I have been on the account for 10 months.
The account isn't so great, but DocQscribe is the best. nm

They may be hiring for a large ESL account still. Great
company.  They provide all equipment/software.   Pay for downtime.  QA pretty strict, just maintain minimum score of 98.5, 1200 lpd/12,000 per pay period.  DD, on-time.  Insurance starts the first day of the month after you start, very reasonable premiums. 
I would go with the great money account personally. SM
Would mind sharing the name of the company or are you IC?
working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm
x
Hmmm...wonder what account you are on..my QA is great..what was wrong, which report,what I put and
what it should have been.  I've no complaints at all about this company.  The account is picky but that is not Amphion, that is their client.  Besides, that what  I get paid to do.  To each their own I guess.
Sorry to hear that because that was a good account with great normals. Hope
you find a new home where you will be appreciated and with good line counts!
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.
x
I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on. 
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM
,
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.

So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.

Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.

A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.

You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!

That is my last word to you!

I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM
