In Reply to: They sure advertise like crazy! - RadGuy

If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you.  If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work.  They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.

depending on your experience, lots sm
of companies will take you part-time even if they SAY they only hire full-time. Most of the time part-time is 6000 lp pay period. I work for a company part-time right now and they really needed somebody M and F and every-other Saturday adn they don't hold me to the line count requirement. Just depends on the days you are willing to work sometimes.

It is nice to HAVE A LIFE!
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.
Old posts said easy to work for, but your pay would never go over 7 or 8 cpl depending on

Depending on the account your placed, this is not bad place to work.
If your on the Escription account, run and do not look back. Work often runs low and the stuff you get is horrid (ESLs) etc. and it is almost impossible to make any money. These are VR accounts. So, if your not on a VR account, you will most likely like it as far as pay on time and decent benefits. I had to quit because I either had no work or crappy accounts where I made no money. Obviously, it was more beneficial to find another job for me. Communication leaves a lot to be desired.
MDI is a good place to work. Depending on what account you get.... see msg
Some accounts are slightly overstaffed and there is less work but I know other accounts are swamped. Their benefits are comparable to other companies. Line count is reasonable and I like working there. The staff is really nice. Just like every company, what works for someone else may not work for you etc.. so go with your best judgement. They have been good to me so that is all I can speak for. Can I ask who else has offered you a job??
Also depending on hospital, downtime (no work or tech

Lots and lots of work. You will love

I work for Transcend, love them, but right now a few accounts are slow..so depending on which you
were hired for, do not get your expectations too high. The work can flucuate the key is flexibiltiy. If you have to have a set schedule, I would double check on the work flow for your shift on your account. I would hope that they could be honest, and if I know them, they will be.
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.  
I lost an acct with MQ, called the hospital and they told me who had the acct. I chose not to go wi

Older posts about them have the MTs bouncing from acct to acct and not being able to make

My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
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.
Not on cardiology acct, but do work for SGS.
Can I help?
May I ask? Do you who have no work do acute, ASR, have more than 1 acct? (sm)
The company I work for has had people who didn't have work while there was tons of OT in other accounts. Come to find out some of them (not all) refused to do ASR or Voice Recognition, they did only clinics or ERs and refused to flex their hours to help get their lines in.

Is this pretty much the case with Webmedex or do you think they have just over-hired MTs and don't have enough work to go around.

I see they are hiring again, that is why I am asking, not to start anything. Please do not be offended by my questions.

Thanks.
It's how many reports you sent to QA for each acct. you work on. NM

Ok, let me rephrase that: We are on OT *and* have a ton of work on my acct. nm

More than 1 backup acct? Able to work more than 8hrs or not? Is OT

I know the MTs that work this acct. load them from a pool. However, sm
I think that is a very good idea - batching docs and/or specialties together.  I wonder why they don't do that, and I am going to ask!  Thanks!  If you saw my post above, there are a total of 37 specialties on my list, made up of approx. 4-5 docs in each specialty, so I'm looking at learning well over 100 doctors in only 40 hrs. of training?  That's a joke. 
I work for MTSO and know the hospital acct
I work on is a big one, just do not know how many MTs that on this particular account. When you say you correct only erroneous text I am not really sure what you mean by this. I correct everything I see that is an error so can you explain further as far as erroneous. Do you read the entire report as it goes or ?
So does anyone work on the acct that DiskRiter is hiring for now? It's in Florida

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...

I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion.  Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more?  Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day.  I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid.  I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care.  I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do.  I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work.  I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too.  Any suggestions?


Usuall plenty of work - demand a secondary or tertiary acct. nm

Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
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.

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.
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

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

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 work, on all 3 of my accounts, always will.

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!
