and as always you should take negatives with a grain of salt. One person's experience may not be your own.

    Just because someone posts positives about a company....sm

    doesn't mean they're in management, and you're presuming that someone who posts a positive is a manager is pretty ludicrious.  There are plenty of MTs out there happy with their employer... even some folks happy with MQ even with all of the legal problems that company has ongoing.


    Unless someone makes a statement about someone in particular at a company that is completely false then there would be no reason for anyone to request a trace to find out who a poster is.  For example, on most internet boards anywhere you can say something like "XYZ company stinks" and be OK, but if you said something like "XYZ's payroll department paid me only a fraction of my earnings and failed to correct the problem" without proof to support your statement then you could be potentially held liable for posting false information.   If you did have proof of in this instance a payroll problem and proof of where it was attempted to be resolved then you'd be safe. 


    My company has plenty of work

    but, they are not hiring at this time.  We have never ran out of work BECAUSE they don't overhire.  They have as many MTs as they need and sometimes we do have to work extra if there is a huge workload or something and it can be tiresome sitting at the computer 10-12 hours rather than my usual 8, BUT I wouldn't trade that for the jobs that make you search and beg for work. 


    I think all companies should have the same work process, that way you get long-term employees because they can actually make a living there and don't have to seek out other employment.


    Yes, they do. Nice little company. Plenty of work.
    Pay on a weekly basis.  Internet based platform.  I do think they are still hiring.
    It's a great company with plenty of work!
    Pick your own schedule; they'll match current pay rate, tons of work, good-to-great money; nice people. Stuff posted on here is old and from dirtbags who couldn't hack it there!
    I'm at Webmedx after 10+ years at MQ. Good company. Plenty of work. SM
    Pay is direct deposit and on time. You have a 12-hour window and 35 hours is considered full-time. I cleared QA review in less than a day, and they leave me alone to do my job. Benefits are affordable. I don't need the insurance, but I understand it's pretty good. Don't get much PTO the 1st year, 3 days. If you know you will need to be off ANY time in the first 6 months or so, tell the recruiter. Line rate is fair and you can negotiate. They have a bonus/incentive plan that allows you to earn good money. Seems like no place is great these days, but they are probably as good as it gets. Feel free to E-mail me if I can help you out.
    Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
    of work?
    Awesome small company! Paid on time every 2 weeks. Plenty of work!
    Owner is great. I would recommend this company to anyone who wanted to be paid what they are worth and paid on time!
    How many positives are new?

    Speaking to non-salaried, straight MT's now; no fair responding as QA, a recruiter, or those in special favor because of top production status, just your average to above average producer. Not that I don't aim higher, but average indicates the majority.


    So, if what JMO said is accurate at all, the positive posts from newbies would only confirm what she is saying - that the newbies are "well-fed" with special incentives, higher rates coming in, etc., and the old are put out to pasture, despite skill level, tenure, or extra time given, unless you are a top producer, is that the general gist?


    Any non-new, non-specialized averge to above average MTs that have been at Transcend a while with an overall positive opinion? And those of you who were not happy with Transcend, where did you go and why is it better?


    the positives
    can be found i'm sure in the searches here. It is a solid company with high standards and respect from clients and workers. QA is good and kind in delivery of comments. Decent accts. Good pay. Very standardized accounts. Simple platform. 24-hour window to work. You're left alone to do your job. You set your line count obligation, and if you get done in less than 8 hours, you can be done. No time clock. No hassles. its a breath of fresh air! in this MT world of ours.
    i wonder about all the positives we always see
    I hope the company has changed for the better. However, I know that not too long ago, there were many problems at KS.  And I also remember that anytime someone posted something negative about KS here, the owner would get on and post under different names.  I wonder.........
    positives
    Two things only:  They seem pretty fair and pay on time.  Nothing else.
    DIT Positives Please
    I would like to hear some positive things about DIT.  I know that someone has had a positive experience with them so please email me about it.  Thanks in advance
    Any positives out there on Chartscript....

    Any positives about Proveros?
    All I see are negatives about Proveros.  Anybody work there that is happy?  Low ESL, plenty of work?  Anything?
    Quite the opposite. I have found mostly positives. sm
    I started 4 months ago and so far, so good. When I was doing research, it seemed that all the negative posts were from the same 2 or 3 people, one in particular that harps on no raises and no OT pay. Everyone I have talked to at KS and other MT's that I know at KS all say the opposite is true; they do give raises and do not expect you to work OT. When the do ask you to, they often say holiday pay, which means 1-1/2 times your regular rate, just like OT pay. I did get my raise at 90 days, as promised. I do have the work I need to get the lines I need to make the checks that I need, so I am happy. The training was excellent, and the QA feedback helpful not spiteful.
    Transcend Services Positives and Negatives

    Positives and negatives?


    You have very valid points, and I'm going to try to work more on the positives. nm
    nm
    More negs than positives about them on a search. Maybe leave now
    s
    Thanks You. It is nice to hear positives on Transcend since they (sm)
    Will be my employer. I am trying to stay positive throughout the process, and not follow the rumors of paycuts, etc. on the boards. I will just wait and see what happens, and if I don't like the terms then I will look elsewhere.

    The only thing I am upset about is possibly not working on Bayscribe anymore. Hope we get to keep using it at for our accounts.
    right now plenty of work, also plenty of ESLs.nm
    nm
    Plenty of BOTH on my end, I do traditional have plenty of work, always

    Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
    of work.  I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
    They had MTs - plenty of them
    The problem was - trying to keep them.  As above, checks constantly bounced.  At payday time - all the managers would disappear, as would the owners.  When this happens every other payperiod  - I think the company has financial issues.  This is not to mention,  he was outsourcing this account, about 60% of the work, half of this was sent through to the hospital as he did not want to pay editors to edit the crap.  Again, several issues.  They make everything sound great - but once you start, reality sets in and quick.  
    I have plenty and then some
    Hello

    I have plenty with them. I work on a radiology acount though so it is not quite the same. I have a secondary acute care account, but never seem to get around to typing on it as I have so much to do on the radiology one. Most of the time the updates I get for the accounts I see fluctuate but mostly have work. I know each account is different. Etranplus has its bad points like any other company. I have certain things I do not like. I have also had way worse experiences. I have found it to be a good fit for me for 15 months now and finally got to do my first love of radiology. I wish you the best. If you need to get a secondary account and then you can decide to keep two or leave one or the other when things stabilize for you. Good luck!
    There are plenty....
    ...but they may require that you know how to spell the word 'editing' correctly.
    yes plenty what ya need
    one part timer
    Same here, plenty now.
    Did my time card while waiting for the work to come in. Now I am buried. Feast or famine.
    I'm doing ME and there seems to be plenty.
    Fairly new and not sure how the MT or QA side of things might be.
    you seem to have plenty
    of time to post, must be due to all the cash you have socked away.
    Plenty

    I have plenty.
    nm

    Plenty here too
    A bit slow a few weeks ago, but not too bad, didn't effect my pay, just adjusted my schedule a little bit. Now have more than enough work. If you have no work for months at a time, why would you stay?
    Plenty of work

    OSI has plenty of work to go around...
    ...but since hurricane katrina hit, things have been kind of slow. I think they have a big account in Louisiana that got hit pretty hard and it shut down. Since then they have had to move MTs from that account to other accounts. I've been running a little low on work too (just every now and then), but I like OSi so I'm willing to stick it out. I'm sure everything will get back up to speed soon.
    If you have plenty of experience and don't need...
    any help, they are fine.  They don't have any QA.  You are pretty much on your own.  Do your work on time, and do it well, and you'll be okay. 
    Yep, I have plenty of backups, too. nm
    nm
    Plenty of work...sm
    I don't generally post on companies I worked for because in the long run it doesn't seem like opinions matter, for some it may suck and for others it is great.  I worked for them for a couple of years and had to leave due to needing insurance.  There was always plenty of work and if you are a hard worker, you'll make money, get paid on time, etc.  The accounts were incredibly stable and extremely easy compared to acute care. 
    P.S.. you have plenty of work?

    Plenty of work at MDI

    Hi Freebird,  I was just passing through and saw your note.


    I have been with MDI-MD for a little over a year now.  The only slowdown I have ever experienced was around Christmas and New Year's.  Right now there is plenty of work on all of the hospitals that I cover. 


    I have been in this business for a long time, am a former MQer, and I just love this company.  The work is not for newbie's, but if you are an experienced acute care Transcriptionist you will have no problems.  The staff at MDI-MD are professional and gracious, the platform is the best I have ever worked with, the pay is great and always on time, and the flexibility is wonderful. I wish you luck!


    I do all Ops and there is plenty work available for anyone who wants just
    Ops and is good at them.  
    There are plenty of jobs out there.
    .
    I have plenty of work.
    Have you tried asking for another account?
    Plenty of work

    Good line rate with incentive pay and shift differential.  Good benefits.  Sick time, PTO, plenty of work.  I'm happy.  Normals are right in their platform, which is handy and helps production. 


    Anyone else care to chime in?


    I have plenty of work

    there's plenty of work to go around....
    TRS does manage a group in Guyana, but they make up a TINY portion of the total reports. NO jobs have been lost in the US to employees in other countries either. There is plenty of work available and the recruiter works constantly to find qualified MT's here in the US! Why is going offshore a bad thing if it doesn't affect the workload or TRS employees in the US??
    Is there plenty of work. nm
     
    Yes, there are still plenty of jobs. sm
    But it's not that simple. In the employment market today, people look to keep increasing their income. We have to. My utilities have tripled over the last 10 years. By contrast, my income has gone from $42K yearly to $24K. Now, I'm not conceited enough to think I'm worth $42K part time; I told my manager they were paying too much, but he wouldn't listen and we lost our hospital department.

    One of the biggest reasons for this decrease in pay is offshoring. The average MT works for about 8 cents per line. I made 6 cents 15 years ago. But they have cut so many items out of the counting software that we are having to work harder all the time just to keep the same wage.

    Send it offshore for 2 cents a line, get someone to edit it for 4 cents a line, and that is just 6 cents a line, what I made 15 years ago. I can't work for that now. I made 1600 lines in 6 hours then. Platforms are so much more complicated and all extras have been cut; I can just make 1200 in the same time now.

    I read an article a while back that followed an Indian MT. She made about $550 a month, that was a year's wages there. My utilities (without cable or any extras) run $600 a month.

    We are cutting our own throats by making offshoring work. Many of us will not edit offshore. It is against our beliefs. It is also damaging the future of our profession.

    And don't tell me that offshore works in other areas. If my clothes fall apart, I replace them. If my medical care falls apart, they'll have to replace me!
    See page 2 hun plenty there
    baboing!
    Plenty of work
    No, there is plenty of work. But it looks as though workflow is caught up and under good control.  There is no mandatory OT, it is just optional now.
