Got it and replied back. Thanks! nm

I replied, too
What difference would it make if it was an MTSO checking things out?  I mean, if they have jobs, what the hey?  Or am I missing something here? 
Yep, I got it and replied.
Thanks.
I was just looking at their website when you replied to this, trying to (sm)
decide if I should call them about an ad they had online!   Do they have employee status or is it all IC?  Were they flexible with schedules?  If you don't want to answer on here, feel free to e-mail me.  I have about 6 companies I'm juggling and don't know which to choose.  Thanks!

Loved The Way You Replied!
I know this is days after your discussion but just saw your post. Laughed out loud at the way you replied to the previous comment about better rate. Guess it was just one of those moments that I needed a good laugh.
I know they never replied to me when I E-mailed them..nm

Thanks to all who replied to my post. nm

I read it below and replied...
The link worked fine for me.
I replied to you once, sweetheart. You've got a
really bad attitude. My response wasn't a big huge long drawn out one-sided conversation either. It was plain and simple. If you can't find the email that they send to everyone, CALL THEM or email them. Who is supposed to help you here? Not that I CARE anyway. Just trying to help the helpless become more proactive in finding their own answers. How much time did you waste on the board being snotty and calling everyone else snotty when a simple little five minute phone call would have fixed all of your complaints? Try to help someone and get your nose bit off.
Did you read the post you replied to at all?
Because they can even manipulate their count program not to count certain letters, data tags, etc. Of course it will not jive with a word count in Word that will count it all and fairly. Make sense?
Ditto....I replied about them below too but just had to say I agree again! (nm)

I posted the one you replied to, and I didn't
say anything about Obama...?
A post was made asking for opinions. I replied. sm

Part of the reason I replied was because I did go to management, several times in fact, and either there were no replies whatsoever or the replies were in disagreement with others in management, leaving me wondering which one was correct, or they were replies to simply pacify with no intention of correcting.  I'm not trying to flame the company. If my experience seems like a flame, it is because there is a problem and exposing it is like exposing dirty laundry, I guess.  It isn't meant to dissuade anyone or persuade any else for that matter.  It is simply MY experience.  Like I said before, I am not a disgruntled employee.  I am merely experiencing some things in the company that differ from what others are going through and I am simply expressing my experiences on this forum because of what I stated before about intimidation coming from management on the internal forum. 


You are absolutely right that there are many, many employees of Transcend that are extremely happy.  I'm not among the ones who have flamed anyone for posting postive experiences. I have/had been one of those happy employees for years.  There are also many that have been so fed up they have quit. There are also current employees who are in my situation as well, but are afraid to talk about it.  At this point in time, I fall in the middle grouping.  I'm not saying it's a bad company to work for.  Again, I am merely expressing my experience, and has been said many, many times before, I'm quite confident that people on this board have the ability to know what is best for them in a company and aren't going to let the posting of a few happy cheerleaders or a few disgruntled ex-employees be the basis for the decision what company to choose or not to choose. 


All I am saying is that if you are the poster who feels that he/she can work whenever simply because it is inconvenient to work the shift you had committed to, please don't assume that I hadn't talked to management about MY issues and try to point the finger and make accusations about MY motives.  This board is about the pros and the cons.  Unfortunately for me, my circumstance falls in the latter grouping and I shouldn't be lumped into a group of people flaming or bashing and told it is unfair for me to speak about my experience when I have tried all other internal avenues to no avail.  If my experience seems like flaming the company, there would be no flame if there was no ember to fan, so I should have that accusation pointed at me simply because I discuss it?? That is what's not fair, and since I did say I didn't want to argue, I'm not going to keep the discussion going with banter that gets heated or flamed to the point the whole string gets deleted.  Thanks for your input and have a nice day.


 


Applied twice recently to Med-Tech and they never replied. They pay 6-9 cpl and want 150 lph. nm

I see. You replied to a post asking about their pay scale. Nevermind. nm

I replied and was hired for one of those positions. It is internet. Not sure about all sm
but at least the one I am on is ExText.

Same thing here, got the email and replied, and now NO contact from them

I appreciate the input, but they haven't replied to my resume...sm
even though I have 9 years of MT experience, 4 of that with hem/onc.  I just don't get why they can't send even a blanket email out...that's better than being totally ignored.
Med-Tech Resource from one of the banners here is in Marietta, 770. They never replied to me, but

I worked in QA for Transcending back in 2000-2001. They were paying hourly back then. SM

The accounts weren't too horribly bad.  The reason I ended up leaving was because slowly but surely they began to inch closer and closer to paying QA by production.  When I first started, the quota was something like 30 reports a day.   We simply had to make sure that we QA'd all reports that were close to being out of TAT first and then do the rest.  Then, my supervisor left and they hired a new one who immediately called a big teleconference meeting and said we had to up production to 60 reports a day.  Then, they started counting lines.  Which was fine because they were still paying hourly.


Next, there was an MT who used VR software because she was blind - yes blind.  Again, when I first started, I was told we had to edit her entire reports because she used the VR software and we had to make sure that everything was correct and made sense.  Then, we are told only check the blanks.  I wasn't comfortable with that and I continued to completely proof every word.  Then I was called on the carpet not because I wasn't meeting the production quota, but because I was ONLY meeting the production quota.  I told them I was proofing all of the MT's work that used VR, I was told that no one ever told me to proof every word of the VR reports and that I needed to fill in blanks and move on.  When I voiced my concerns, I was told that was my job, to fill in blanks and I should move on and strive to product above the standards.  Next thing you know, rumors abounded about changing the QA staff to being paid on production.  So I left. 


There just seemed to me to be too little concern for quality and more emphasis on quantity and I just didn't want to be part of company who would take money out of my pocket just to line their own and that's what they were doing by putting QA on production.  I also am not comfortable with the job of QA being thought of as a blank filler.  There is much more to the QA profession than just simply filling in blanks. 


I don't know if Transcend ever did start paying QA by production, but I could see that the idea was being floated there.  Maybe there was a enough protest that they didn't change from hourly. 


Good luck to you!


Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Has everyone heard back from Keystrokes yet regarding the email we received a while back?
Just wandering why I haven't heard any response yet.
I sent them an email back in August and never heard back sm
Is this company on Long Island? I checked out their website and even tried calling once. Were you successful in contacting them? All i know is that the company is owned by some doctors.

Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test.  I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned.  I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years.  I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind.  I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully.  I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back. 
I had the same thing happen, went back to MQ, went back to KS and could not be sm

happier.  I am on a different account then the first time and it is as if it is a different company.  I have a great lead who leaves us alone most of the time but is there when I need her.  It showed me that you can have a different experience within the same company.


I have to say that in the few weeks since they have the new office, it is much more organized probably because there are a lot of people there all the time.  I had the pleasure of speaking to the new HR manager who was HR at a hospital, got my questions answered about insurance as I am going to full time and had a live voice pick up the phone.


Not all change is bad.  This is one company that has changed for the better. 


I was reading about the back up help. I would like also to have some back up work.
I am not getting anywhere near 12,000 lines this go around.  My goal is 12,000 lines each pay period.
Back away from the hoops!! Back away!
I worked for them about 6 months - same mess to get hired - FBI check is right! It was unreal. I was so excited, though - they promised me the moon, and I really thought I had found my new home after centuries with that other company who shall not be named.  What a disappointment, to say the least. All around horrible experience, and I would NEVER recommend them. Certainly they were not worth the hoops at all. Total waste of effort.
Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original

Back to ya!

Thanks for getting back with me!

Has anyone gone back
to Transcend after receiving letter asking you to come back?  If so, how are things this time around?
I'm not looking for a pat on the back and
I know it is like that everywhere but I'm sick and tired of cleaning up after this person, getting phone calls begging me to fix this or that because they can't count on this other MT; I mean the list goes on and on. I know that in this field flexibility is everything but I'm also not bending over and taking it anymore, I'm flexed out!
They got back to where

Get off of her back!
This was a simple question. If you don't have the answer, don't post. No get in the shower!

Wanna play?
We can BACK IT UP
As a Medquist or MQ employee, and I have seen many on this board, we have legitimate complaints about what has been going on.

The REAL FACT here is that many of our offices are closing or have closed, we have been transferred to the Amherst office, we have no work, no one wants to discuss it and many other issues. There are problems and this is a FACT.
RUN and don't look back.
They are BY FAR the worst company to work for.  Pay, even though it is direct deposit, was never on time. Sure, they offered to pay for you overdraft fees, but it took forever to actually get your pay.  And they would never tell you in advance that it was going to be late so you could avoid the problems.  Plus, they had horrible supervisors that did not know what they were doing.  Always were IM you and causing you to lose time while wanting to chit-chat....They had some good accounts but lost them due to being unprofessional and other reasons that I do not know.  Stay away!  Horrible place! 
RUN and don't look back!!!!..sm
I was an employee with them.  I can sum it up.  If you don't mind not knowing when you are going to receive your payday (even though it is direct deposit) then they are a great company.  Honestly, they are horrible.  They are the most unprofessional company I have EVER seen and been employed by.  It was not just one instance of pay arriving late, but I quit at the third time in a row.  And they did not warn you ahead of time....they mentioned it the DAY that you were supposed to be getting your payday, and they did not do that until so many people raised such a stink over it!  Plus, the so-called supervisors are a joke.  They do not know what they are doing and are the most foul-mouthed individuals I have ever seen.  PLUS, they keep IM you ever few minutes to where you cannot get your work done. They had an EXCELLENT account and lost it due to so much unprofessionalism because they could not get their act together.  Please, run and don't look back...otherwise, you will just be looking for your paycheck that doesn't arrive until weeks later....
Well, they can come back now!

MTStars has been staunchly against the offshoring of American Private Health Information, but realizes that MTStars must evolve with the ever changing views of conducting business in the global economy.

Back up help.

If anyone is interested, I have an oral surgery account that I need back-up help with every once in a while.  This will be p.r.n. Very easy.  0.07/65-character line with spaces.  Will need wave file player and MS Word.


Back-up help
I would be interested in helping you out when you need it? Would you be interested in helping me? I need back up help for a clinic account (2 docs) on occasion also. Do you happen to have a call-in line of some type?

Sue
Exactly! We should be the ones doing the back-
ground checks on some of these companies, right? Unbelievable! Just such a total waste of time, $$, and real ego killers some of these outfits. Its a shame...
Would never go back there
nm
Me too, went back into QA.
Unfortunately though many other recruiters are not MTs, makes sense right? LOL
I came back
I thought the grass was greener, but it was not.  I left because I thought a little higher line rate would help my situation.  The work was not steady so the higher line rate meant nothing.  I called my Medware team leader and since I left on good terms they hired me back and I am so thankful.  I like working afternoons so I have the morning to get things done around the house. 
RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK!
I, unfortunately, had the worst experience of my MT career working for Focus for just over a month. They drove me insane, so I quit after only a few weeks. Someone else said that they only talked to one American person the whole time they worked there, and the same goes for me, and that was someone in HR at their office in Massachusetts. Their tech support, QA and account managers are the worst. You can never understand a word they are saying. I even got yelled at one time by one of the techs in India because I was disturbing his work by asking for help when their software locked up my entire computer and I completely lost a 5 page report and never got it back. They kept telling me that my quality was below par, yet at any other company I have always been between 98 and 100%. In fact, the company that I started working for after I quit Focus (and I am still at) took my off full review a month early because I was doing so well. They will belittle any American MT and make you think that you are the worst they have ever seen.
They got back with me the same day, but
I still wouldn't recommend them.  They represent some of the same companies that post ads here and the $$ is no different, so you basically just end up testing twice, whereas you can contact the company yourself and test only once. 
Yes it was on here and it has been quite a while back
.
comes right back to THEM! (NM)
.
Come back and tell us how you like

I just went back to MQ
Never thought I would but they offered me 0.075 more per line than I used to get there! For the past four months I struggled with a company using the Scribe platform, which I feel is 10 years behind the times and very slow. I missed DocQScribe and VR. I was also being micromanaged by QA at the new company which never happened in my 17 years of transcribing. The people were very nice, but couldn't stand the nit-picky critique, especially when it didn't follow the BOS or basic modern grammar. I didn't want to lose my good habits.
