Always ran out of work despite giving you lots of accounts. nm

Lots of work on radiology accounts
And whew, are my hands tired....but I made 5th tier the first week and the top bonus tier this week,
Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
How is the MQ St. Louis office to work for?
nm
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
KS has lots of accounts, several different

platforms.  They do have several accounts where you need a C-phone and ULD, but they also have other accounts where you don't need ULD.   They will loan you a C-phone if you need it, but you are on your own for ULD is required. 


It can take 2 weeks to get started and I would definitely not quit a job until you are ready to start.  Depending on the account though you could be working within a couple of days. 


They also have lots of VR accounts

They have lots of accounts. Ask for a backup. nm

What I meant - TT has lots of VR accounts
A little slow but adjusting my schedule. This too shall pass and before we know it we will be swamped.
Probably because it is DocQScribe and accounts have lots of ESL.
I used to work there and those were the reasons for not having a good line count for me...
Lots of new accounts. I called the office to ask a question and sm
found out that there are more than a dozen new accounts starting in the next couple of weeks. I am happy at KS but anything is better than MQ. I left there a year ago and am very glad that I did.
Lots and lots of work. You will love
XY?Z
Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too.   I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week.   I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.  
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
Great place to work. LOTs of work and (sm)
as the other poster noted, somewhat flexible.  Make your lines and they pretty much leave you be.  Communication is great, QA is great.  The platform is extremely easy.  There's plenty of work to go around and then some. 
Escription has been out of work. Dictaphone has lots of work.

St. Louis MQ
I would think the fact that they go through office staff rather quickly (who were some pretty good people) would be a red flag! Also, wondering about the "new" nationalization policy MQ is implementing. Hmmmmmmm!
St.Louis
Just a bit of advice, Would Like To Know, the person signing herself $$$ is a bag of hot air who thinks she knows everything. In truth, she cannot a hold a job and her coworkers all complain about her.

Don't listen to anything she says.
St. Louis office
I work for the St. Louis office. They are very flexible but I hate the DQS platform. The old one was much better. I stay with a national because you can work anywhere in the country without being tied down, but when I say I am a slave, that's what I feel like. All I ever do is work to try to get my lines-- I don't have a life any more. I don't spend money foolishly--I am just trying to survive. This MT business has really gone down the toilet ever since the "being paid by production only" and the sweatshop mentality began.
St. Louis Hospital
Can you tell me which hospital this was in St. Louis, as I am in the STL area and looking for employment with a hospital.
TIA!
Hospital in St. Louis
It was Children's Hospital in St. Louis. I believe the person in charge of transcription is Cathy White or something like that, but I do know her name is Cathy. I loved it there. Do not apply for any radiology positions at BJH because they have the most outdated equipment I had ever seen and their transcriptionists all looked like they had been through the wringer and haggard. The supervisors were very odd. Two of my friends interviewed for the job and they thought the same thing.
St. Louis Hospital
Hay! Thanks a lot for the info. I will be visiting their website for a possible opening. I figured something was not right regarding the BJC ad for radiology transcriptionists, as they are always running that ad!
Again, Thanks for the info!
St. Louis Hospitals
Hi!! I, too, would love to chat with fellow STL MTs.  Feel free to e-mail me!

PRN Transcription in St. Louis...

Anyone here have experience working with or know anything about them?


lots of work
I got bored and tired of MQ not ever having any work, and I have found 2 part time positions that allow me to work whenever I want so long as I can get the required lines within a certain time frame. So far, I have worked for one platform for one month and the other for 1 day and already I am averaging more lph than with MQ. Think DocQScribe stinks maybe? Then add to that the time it takes for that stupid Etime logging baloney. I can't believe it took me this long, but it seems pretty plain to me.
I have lots of work on my
If you don't already have a secondary...ask for one.
Probably everything you said. I have lots of work.
Lots of companies overhire probably because they need the work done and there are always a few MTs who have issues and don't work regularly or don't do their committed lines, so they hire more to make up for it.   It is possible they may be offshoring too.  You can ask about the company here and if they are offshoring someone may know.  Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do about either situation. 
lots of work?
So which company is it you work for that gives you lots of work?
Lots of work.
Software productive and becoming more so as enhancements are made to the program.
They do have lots of work. That is plus.

yes, there is usually lots of work
once in a while, it does run out but not for very long and it really doesn't happen that often.
Lots of work here
I get e mails once or twice a week from my account work flow coordinator (that are sent out to everyone) saying that the volume has picked up and anyone who wants more lines and more $$ is welcome to sign on.
Fellow St. Louis MT HELLooooooooo
Hey, I live in St Louis, too, and would love to chat with others in my area. If you are interested, please let know, and somehow I can send you my email.
MR. DESERFLOUR - THERE WAS NO MAN WORKING AT ST LOUIS
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AS A Transcriptionist WHEN I WAS THERE. SO I SUGGEST, THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. I LEFT THE HOSPITAL IN 2002!!! AND THERE WAS NO MAN WORKING IN TRANSCRIPTION AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!!
Was this company out of St Louis. Wondering if it is the one I know.

Amphion has lots of work
I would very much like to talk with you and offer my assistance regarding your concerns of overhiring and lack of work. Something must be amiss and I would like to solve your dilemma yet today. We have lots of work, are still recruiting cream of the crop MTs, and pride ourselves on treating our team members fairly.

Is there always lots of work at Precyse? Do they do
nm
I work for First Choice and have lots of ops.
I am not sure if they are hiring, but you can always check.
Lots of work on my account... but I saw the
intrascript e-mail too. I am sure if you do not have enough work you can go on it. Contact the office.
Lots of reasons. Lie about pay, no work,
no questions answered.
Lots of work - I have NEVER had this issue
x
Seem to be running out of work lots more...
hopefully just a coincidence???
They do pay on time & have lots of work sm
but I found it difficult to make any money there. They use a Word counter, which is definitely short. Some TATs they have are unreasonable. Because of the way work comes in, your work day could be stretched from 6 in the morning to 9 at night. I like to work with a set schedule, so it was not a good fit for me. They may have different platforms now.
I see lots of mistakes too and I work there
We can look up old reports and I am astounded by some of the mistakes made. Makes me wonder how they even got out of 100% QA. One report for a dictator I knew to be on ASR looked like they didn't even edit it -- it was just a string of words that made no sense.

Have no idea what's going on there, except there is the usual big push for production. Don't know which accounts the Indians are on, but they do have Indian coordinators working the overnight shift; they have given them phony American names, but it is easy to tell they are not from here. I'm getting aggravated with the place but don't want to be a job hopper.
Lots of ESLs and not much work. nm

There is lots of work at Transcend!
I've been with Transcend for over 2 years now and have NEVER run out of work. There have been times when work was a little slow, but if you can be a flexible during these instances (usually around the holidays, like all companies in my experience) you will always stay busy. You just have to communicate with your managers and they will bend over backwards to make sure you are working.

Good luck with your training, Passing Through! Please come back and share your success story! There are many of us Happy Transcenders. We just don't get a chance to chat on the forums often because we are busily typing away!
Lots of different work types
.
I work for a company with lots of work,

I work a second/third shift position and I still run out of work.  I asked for a secondary account probably 6 weeks ago and haven't received one yet.


You can call the MTSO or your supervisior, but they really don't care, the work is getting done and that is all that really matters.
