Happy DSG'r = Brown noser

Doesn't sound like a brown nose to me...
but rather a very grateful employee. This board is very discouraging to me. A lot of whiners who are not good medical transcriptionists and then turn it around to make the company they worked for look bad. Actually, it can be quite entertaining when I am bored.
Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma

services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational.  ALL software has its share of problems.  It's the nature of the business.  When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO?  If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement?  Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?


My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete.  It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.


All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions.  If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it.  If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on.  However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt.  While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.


Good Luck!

You must have a really brown nose then
That woman wasn't nice to anyone unless there was something in it for her.
If I was such a brown nose,
I would not have been forced to quit. Trust me, I was NOT one of their favorites! :)
Brown & Meyers Anyone?

Does anyone have any comments/experience with Brown & Meyers - good or bad. I would love to hear about this company. I have been offered a position, but do not have much info on them. Thanks.


Brown & Meyers
I have been with Brown & Meyers for almost two years and it has been a great experience. I do not have to work a specific shift, have been given a raise when I asked after a year and am never bothered with phone calls, e-mail, etc. They are very personable, helpful and willing to give me any accounts I may ask for. They use the Sten-Tel platform, which probably isn't the greatest, but it is easy and works for me. I have never had a problem with paychecks- always correct and on time. I would definitely recommend looking into working for them.
brown & meyers anyone?
has anyone worked for them or know of them?
I like Brown & Meyers
They are very nice and communicative.  IC position.  Very happy. 
Brown Nosers....exactly
You just hit the nail on the head! Why else would she be on here? Brown nosing to show her management how she does a great job in defending the company.

If she is typing for her own accounts on top of account management duties, she must be short MTs. Hmmm, maybe some of the MTs are starting to see the light.

I use to work for CyMed/SPi as well. It is a joke that all of the brown nosers seem to still stay around; and the ones that speak their mind are let go or pushed out.
Brown & Meyers
You spelled that incorrectly but yes, I have heard the same thing.  I wouldn't work for them for any amount of money. 
brown & meyers
i worked four weeks for them. tech was nice, but the training sucked. uploading/downloading was a pain. they told me i would be busy busy but i sat around waiting for work. pay was 8 cents a line. if u wanted them to edit your work, they deducted it from your pay.
Brown & Meyers NM

Love it, brown something perhaps?

Brown & Meyers
Does anyone know anything about this company, pay, workflow, platform, etc.?  Thanks for any and all info.
Your nose is brown.

Is this Sten-Tel/Brown&Meyers?

Brown&Myers testing
Be aware everyone, Brown&Myers online testing practice.  They change your correct answers to incorrect.  Don't waste your time with this company.

John Brown is just playing with you.
He said, NOT OFFERING A JOB.
You've got brown stuff on your nose -
you know they monitor this board constantly!  You talk to them all the time about it.  Let's see how long it takes you to relay this posting.
Yes, you are someone, You are one of their token US employees. Hey, what is that brown spot

or if you're not related you could brown nose your way

Brown & Meyers uses Word and FTP site.

Anyone hear of Brown & Meyers in Maine?
Any info would be great.  Thanks!
Hmmm-methinks your nose is brown.

I hope you are right. I'm sure Brown at FEMA thought the same thing.
Remember the Boy Scouts' motto: "Always be prepared."

Holy Brown Stuff. Is that reliable info? (nm)

Brown noses = big money makers in our business.
It is being run like a cartel. Management is blind to corrupt supervisors from what I can see.

We did this to ourselves mostly, by allowing leaders to rise up who were not on the MTs side.

Not blind. Brown nosers make great workers for the

VSM....hum...I like the sound of that. mm

Reminds me of the zoom zoom zoom commercial.....VSM.......when I am feeling cranky I will put VSM on my messages and confuse everyone!  Can't help it.  I have been feeling like a stinker lately and need some goofy fun!


Maybe I will write a book with all the possibilities such as the ones you created and make it a 'must have' for everyone using these boards if they want the codes to it all!  I could be rich!!!  Hah!  A writer/creator/inventor of gibber gabber!  Can I have the rights to yours?


 


You sound like
the perfect whack job they're looking for!
You sound
just like the owner herself. Just maybe this owner is everything everyone has made her out to be.
You sound like you are right...

Have you found another job?  I am in the same boat...thinking about switching.  I have MANY years experience and QA has been on to me like you would not believe!  I leave an occasional blank but our QA team is rude and I think they get a thrill out of turning things over to our supervisor.  Kinda childish the way they act!


I would love to find a place that takes years and years of experience into consideration with the pay.  And would love to find a place that offers some types of benefits...But most of all I would love to find a place that is respectful to their employees and know that the Transcriptionist is REALLY a VITAL part of their success....Is that too much to ask? 


Wow...they sound like they are the best
They sound like a dream company! Now I REALLY can't wait to start. I am so fed up with my current company (SPI), so I decided to go with Keystrokes as everything I have read on here has been so great. They even let me choose my own shift and hours! The big selling point for me was that they do not offshore at all!
That does not really sound so bad
Some days, I get nothing but VR with zero standard transcription. So long as the MT world is going in the VR direction, you might as well jump in and get your feet wet and give it a shot. Once you get used to it, it is really not that bad. Of course, this is just my opinion. Good luck to you in whatever you decide.
You sound just like...
Redpen.
How is the sound on DQS? sm.
A former employer used DQS and I did not stay with them long.  The sound was really bad and it just wasn't worth it to keep the job.  I thought it was the company as I've heard complaints about the company and their sound quality before.  Now, doing a search on DocQScribe I am seeing other complaints about sound quality, but no other companies mentioned.  Now I am wondering if it is the DQS platform or the account I was on.  So, for those of you who work on DQS, is the whole platform horrible with audio or is it on an account basis? 
It does sound like you are better off

staying with your current company.  I just really feel for those who are very experienced and depend upon MT full-time to pay the bills.  I've done MT for 22+ years and like you and other seasoned MTs, have progressively watched my pay go down to the point where I had no choice but to get out of the industry.


With the economy the way it is, I could use the extra income from a PT MT job and also want to keep my skills up (though I really don't know why at 6-7 cpl - lol).


does not sound right either hmm

.


You sound just like me :(
I cried all last week because I was just so frustrated. You feel helpless. I don't even know what to do about it. I don't want to find another job because I like my co-workers, and I like the company as a whole, but their expectations are making it a real tough place to work otherwise. I wish I could give you some suggestions, but I don't know what to do either.

I hope things get better for you.
You sound
You sound like someone jealous of this person's transcription capabilities.  Who are you to judge if she was worth her pay or not.  AT certainly felt she was or else they would not have given her hourly so long as she states.  With judgemental, mean people like you working for that company, I know I certainly never would even consider applying there!  Good luck Leary and hope you find a pleasant workplace.
And you sound like...
The most selfish, heartless, hateful person I have witnessed in a long time.  Shame on you! 
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same.  In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that.  My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours.  I have never not received a pay check on time.  I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple.  Doesn't mean they're all that way!
OMG. Did you really sound that out loud? nm
nm
This may sound stupid but..
when a company asks for basic 4 knowledge, what do they mean?
You sound wonderful
Or at least give me a chance to test with you?
I have to chuckle, you sound just sm
like that commercial with the guy having it all with his country club, pool, etc, and says just the same exact thing you did.  I'm not laughing at you, believe me, I am laughing with you. I do feel for you. Been there done that more than once, in debt up to my eyeballs. Yes, I do think at times the schools tend to pump you up with $$$ signs and it really isn't fair to the student to be given amounts that high.  I only make around that myself, probably less, working for a national. Lucky for me, I have a husband who does very well. Not everyone has that advantage.  Could you possibly pick up a local account to work on the side to help with your finances? It could lead to something better.  Just a thought.  Take care and good luck.
Hey, you sound like me last week.
I know all about the working multiple jobs thing, too. I was doing the work of three workers at my last fulltime job before doing MT. And people wonder why I walked away from a good job. I had to be on Ambien just to sleep at night due to stress.

It's not fair, but it's not worth it to let it consume you. I am serious here. I am job hunting again this week because my company is messing with me, too. They gave my easy account to the newbies and stuck me on the crap. I'm just kind of waiting around to see what they're giving out for Christmas this year. As soon as I find a new job, I'm done. They are not worth it. They can mess with other people but not with me. I'm also going to see if I can find my own local accounts. I made up a database yesterday of potential clients.

Now quit talking that K-word stuff because you can't do that. {{{{hugs}}}} You're too good for them.
Sound quality
The sound is great. That has been resolved and it was not the system but the phone lines from the facilities. No need for technical support, but I have never had any problems reaching someone and had an immediate response.
But.... you sound like the lucky ones. What's the saying??
Thank goodness for unanswered prayers or something like that..
