at least twice a month we are getting accounts that use to be done by MQ sm

Posted By: No need to wonder on 2005-07-17
In Reply to: I wonder if they are losing a lot of accounts lately. I have heard other MTs saying the same thing - sm

I know this because when they post accounts they say MQ had it. MQ is definitely losing accounts. I just don't understand if you don't get work and don't want to leave MQ why not get an additional job?

    On some accounts, yes, not all - my ULLD is $26/month
    x
    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.


    Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
    heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
    Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
    move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
    MDI-FL but not all accounts. Only the internet-based ones. C-phone accounts are fine.

    So, yes, let me clarify before everyone gets in an uproar.. There is work IF you want to use a C-phone. IF you signed up for an account that is internet-based, you will be disappointed. Not enough work to go around. Just my personal preference.. I have no desire to do a dial-up C-phone account using my long distance.


    Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
    Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
    Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
    difficult to do.  I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL.  I dont do them anymore.
    Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
    and their QA. 
    Different accounts have different platforms. Most accounts require sm
    high speed but I am not sure if satellite is OK.

    I don't think that they're hiring right now. I spoke with my lead on Thursday, who said they are focusing on making sure everyone has enough work and moving PTers to FT, eventually moving towards FT only with only weekends as PT. Not 100% sure when that is though.
    Hmm..well it goes to show how different it can be between accounts. My "high" ESL accounts s
    at WMX are pretty easy in my opinion as well. I wish I had a better answer for you. Hang in there if you can. You have to do what is right for you.
    Six accounts?!?! That is nuts! I am on 3 accounts. nm

    $$ 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
    s
    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

    No. They have until the end of the month.

    13,500 A MONTH? (SM)
    Can you please share how many hours you put in to make this much? Where do you work?
    14,500 a month....nm

    once a month pay
    I'm afraid I don't trust employers that only pay once a month. That tells me they have to get paid before they can pay their employees. That's never a good sign.
    I was there 1 month...sm
    ...and still on QA @ 7 cpl...I have 20+ years experience.  You will starve working for these people.

    I will be 54 this month....so are we the sm
    same vintage??? LOL

    I know you are not painting them all the same but it is a problem the way the MT field has become. I think there is a bigger market for experienced MTs and there will be in this country in the future. With all the jobs going to India, the ones that are left are going to be the ones that will be picky and hire us.

    These MTs don't realize they are burning their bridges and are going to be out on their butts and its going to be their own faults.

    Email me if you like.

    I pay $45 per month for
    It's truly unlimited - have never been billed one cent more in the 1-1/2 years I've had it, and have used up to 15,000 minutes a month. Plus it's an analog line so even if your power goes out, you still have phone service (I keep an old-fashioned princess phone handy so I can plug it directly into the wall, rather than use my remote phone which, of course, requires electricity!) And analog is a much more stable than voip so there are no annoying disconnects.

    I see that nowadays it's called the All Distance package (unlimited local and long distance) and they're advertising $40 per month. Hope this helped.
    I was with them about a month. I could not stand the
    account they had me on and they got pretty rude about it.
    I was hired 1 month ago at 10.75 cpl. Yes they do pay 10 cpl or above. nm
    x
    It's $20 per month, not per pay period.


    I'd ask, once they had the wrong zip and it took a month,
    but I still had called after 2 weeks and they cut me another check and I destroyed the first one when it finally got to me which is how I found out what happened. It NEVER should hurt to ask what's going on. I do it TODAY though, you've already waited long enough for sure.
