I left in 6/07 after I took a $600 a month
cut in pay when they did away with the incentive per pay period, cesspool, nitpicking everything to death. It was funny, I had worked for them for 12 years but all of a sudden nothing I did was right, after receiving--when they did QA-99%+ ratings. Also, NO flexibility in schedule, just to name a few.
Ex-SS'er myself. Left a month ago and never

looked back!  I have nightmares about that place.


I left after one month. I was constantly
switched between accounts (three times on one Saturday because there was no work). The pay scale is convoluted and low. The staff was nice. Interestingly, I learned that my supervisor quit a few weeks later.
I just left Diskriter a month ago

and had some unused PTO.  Anybody know how long I'll have to wait to get this? I tried to e-mail payroll to ask, but it won't go through because it's not an internal e-mail.  Thanks for any information...


 


I don't know the situation since I left almost a month ago, but

for weeks anyone who looked at the backlog reports could see lots of 0 in the minute column, so it isn't like I'm making the no work situation up.   Yes there is a ton of work on some accounts, but when you ask to be put on one of them and told no what are you supposed to do.   I more than made a good faith effort to adjust to try to get lines in.


If you're happy there great, but there are many accounts and multiple STMs, so unless you had the same account and same STM I did then you don't know the story as I do.   If you read the boards the past month or so I'm not the only one with this same story. 


I just left there last month after 2 years -
I had been really happy with my job until about last November. I finally even applied for and received unemployment. Not only was my line count down from 20,000 a pay period to sometimes 7000-8000, but that also meant my line rate of pay was down because of their tiered schedule. It did not seem to matter how much I asked or complained about the work and begged for more, there was always an excuse.
Been here about a month, but worked for them 3 years ago and never should have left.
I left the first time cuz DH (now my EX-DH) was less then cooperative to say the least.

I LOVE it here.
No, things definitely have not improved. I left a month ago
and really wish I had listed to the posters on here.
Hunred bucks says it's TT - exactly why I left after a month. Happy now.

I left a month ago, and couldn't be happier! They are the pits! Good luck. nm

I wished more people would think like you (and me)...nm

Worked there, wished I had stayed. sm
I left OSi thinking I could make more money somewhere else, which I did at first but not so now.  The sound quality was good. I liked the platform. QA helpful and nice.  They communicate a lot with e-mail and IM.  They will have conference calls if there is something on the the account that everyone needs to know about.
Gee, wished I would've thought of that
Did that. I said, *Can anyone with knowledge* It also has to do w/the $900 per pay period, so I guess that answers my question too.
DON'T DON'T DON'T You will regret it
very low pay if you get paid at all and then its usually wrong, very unprofessional, and no organization whatsever
Yes, take the TT job, you really won't regret it
.
you will regret it.
If you have alternatives get out now.
I second the below - go for it, you won't regret it

You won't regret it
Congratulations. I hope you both love it there as much as I have for almost 2 years.
Why do you regret it? Any details?
x
I don't know what a regret page is. I don't think you
are supposed to link other websites, but can you explain it so that I can search for it.  Thanks so much. 
Welcome aboard! You won't regret it!
:)
like so many others you'll regret it Keep looking..nm
xx
You will never regret leaving MQ...
I promise. A week or so with TT, you will wonder why you didn't jump ship sooner. I was with the Q for 10 years, was scared to death, but felt I would lose my mind if I stayed. I am so happy I went to TT. Can't say enough good things about them.
QT Medical and regret page

I tried finding the regret page link on Google and was unable to do so, it is under the name of the owner of the company or on her other website page?  Enquiring minds want to know


Yes - you won't regret moving to TransTech
:)
You'll regret it. Indian techs in India, late pay, lack of communication. nm

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.


TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a

It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.

What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
$$ per month

I am trying to compare nationals versus working at a hospital.  Please respond if you have time. 


For all of you working for a national, what do average making per month?  How many hours per day?  Do you work for one doctor, a clinic, or a hospital? 


I, personally, would like to make $2500 to $3000 per month but don't.  Is that unrealistic?  Currently, I only average around $1800 and this is with no benefits; I have flexibility but no benefits. 


What transcripton platform do you guys find to be the most productive for you?


I realize you can't have everything, but you do have to live; also, I am trying to stay home because of my son, i.e., taking him to school, being there for school functions, sport's activities, etc. 


$$ per month
I make around 5-6K per month and have done so for 4 years running. I work around 45 hours a week with rotating accounts. I do get a high line rate of 12.5 per 65-character line.
A MONTH! What do they tell you when you
call or email them? I'm not waiting a month. I was hoping to get started this week as it is a new pay period and all. Wow. Good luck to you.
about a month

Exactly - that's why every month...sm
when they post the anniversaries there are plenty of employees with the company with 1-27 year anniversaries. 
In my second month with MW on EXT..sm
I have had very few issues. For the most part the sound quality is good. A couple bad docs but that is par for the course for a facility that size. Several ESL but some of them are better than the English-speaking I have done in past! I have had no issues making lines if I stay on-task **grin** I am happy I went with them. Hope this helps.....
Been there almost a month now -sm
I don't mind it at all. It didn't take me long to get used to everything. I did get paid and I think fairly. I check my line counts in my own way and I've found them to be perfectly accurate.

Every job is going to have difficult dictators. You know what they say, there's one in every crowd (okay maybe with doctors, there's more than one), but you'll have that anywhere.

They're extremely professional and treat you the same. I agree with the other poster, don't expect anybody to hold your hand there. So if you can stand on your own 2 feet, go for it.
P.S. I pay about $200/month

for two people and this is the highest end insurance (BC/BS PPO) through my hospital.   


I was with them for about a month and during that month
I had maybe one week of work. The rest I was out. Pay was so so. QA was a little strange about fixing things that were not wrong to begin with (changing six weeks to six week when it should have stayed weeks). I am still puzzling over that one. Anyway, more often than not, QA was wrong, but you could not tell them that.
it's the 1st of the month after your - sm
90 days are up.   So if you got hired Feb 15 then your insurance would kick in on June 1
Just in the last month
there was a post here about someone not being paid. My experience is from a couple of years ago, but in the two years since, I've seen posts here from time to time from people complaining about not being paid. Search the posts from the last month...you'll see someone just complaining about not being paid by them.
$26/month -- nm

I got one of those too a month ago or so
I believe this is from the same joint that is recruiting for the sQuid. I was tempted to look into it at the time but I had heard that the health insurance benefits offered by *S* had gone down the crapper. If you're interested, I'm sure you have nothing to lose. It would be nice if you could get job details without having to spend hours on testing first.
Was she AC for only a month or somebody else?
?
last month it was

Transtech was the greatest. This month's featured flavor -- Keystrokes. I am getting whiplash watching the stampede from place to place.


 


Been there just over a month
and I LOVE it. My production has doubled from that of my old job (I am now doing at least 2500 lines a shift). The pay is always on time and is direct deposited. I have a great ER account and always have tons of work. They did get a ton of new accounts recently, and that is why the have been hiring lots. I would recommend them to anyone.
I pay less than $200 a month
Hospital employee status through Diskriter. Different plans with different rates are available (depending on which hospital), but I have the most expensive choice available from my hospital(PPO).
that would be *A* month. sorry
