I have to say, so far, I have never been as impressed with another company, transcription or otherwise, nor have I been treated as well, it almost seems to good to be true.  Of course, everything always seems great in the beginning, but I truly was blown away compared to where I was, even when I think back to beginning with the other company and I thought THAT was good...in fact, I feel undeserving at this point, lol.

I really believe they are sincere, and they have bent over backwards for me, to the point that I felt I couldn't repay them in three lifetimes, lol. I was so skeptical and almost paranoid at first because of previous experience, but they've done everything they said they would.

They offer flextime, downtime for computer problems/meetings/conferences etc., and most importantly, they are very supportive and positive interpersonally, which spurs me on to want to do my best for them in return, not take advantage of it (which is what I think some companies fear if they employ these types of policies.)

There are incentives for quality, which I believe is an essential component that is too often overlooked nowadays. I've never understood why this isn't pushed as a competetive edge over the competition much, anyway, but I guess I see why productivity is more important. A good balance has always been my preference.

There is a fairly thorough testing site, and a skill-level stratification based on QA scores and productivity levels that are taken on a regular basis...not arbitrarily based on how well you kiss booty or make your manager look by working out of your shift to do it.  Management either have been or currently are transcriptionists, which is comforting.

Heavy on the self-starting skillls needed here, and a little iffy on the communication in the beginning, but this quickly cleared and was partly my fault. Make sure you send all training info cc-ed to all trainers to that you're all on the same page.

Oh, and as for the equipment, I received my computer ASAP and it's brand new, 20 dollars per month.  There is QuickLook, Stedman's, and the AAMT BOS already installed for you on the desktop.

The only problem I foresee might be workflow at some point (if everyone jumps to them now), but in my opinion, that happens at times anywhere and can't be predicted.  I was never bothered by lack of work flow much anywhere, unless it went on for an eternity. (I used to be self-employed, talk about famine at times.)

All companies are not all the same, girls and guys, that's bull ya tell yourself to keep you in the comfort zone.  You are not spoiled just because you realize that your experience and skill level, after an appropriate amount of time, might be worth a little something after all, and you should find a company that will tell you so...IF you are truly doing what you say you are and not making excuses when you haven't given it your best.

Make sure to ask for what you NEED, not what you WANT...be reasonable...but don't settle for less than what you truly need to survive on.

If I change my mind down the road, I'll be sure and let you know, but so far, so great.:)

Good luck to you and go get 'em.:)

out of state of Alabama.

A Mexican family.  So, I'm not paying for anything.  The pool installers were American and lazy, broke the filter, and took all day and night and brought theird kids to play on my swing set and requested soda.  The Mexican landscapers required no water, did not ask to use my toilet, and were done in one-half day with a lot of digging and a lot of stone work that would have taken a lot longer if they didn't work as hard as they did in the blazing sun.  The American installers did nothing but cuss, moan, and complain about the heat. 

As far as healthcare, we'll be paying more anyway once Hillary gives everyone who can't afford healthcare, free healthcare.  Too bad, Americans are too lazy to work harder and smarter.  I'm all American, born and raised, and I work very hard, but hey if the foreign entity comes along (like it did on my hospital job) and says they can do it cheaper, then what can I do?

There is a lot of negatives in the archives, moving to another state doesn't change that.
