I know who you are referring to...the temporary employment agency co.  The Kelly Co. I am referring to is a small MTSO in MO.

I worked briefly for a temp agency.
They actually sent me out on a hospital job where I was paid hourly so that is the only experience I have. It was not production based or anything. They just needed some extra help getting caught up. It was mostly H&Ps and operative notes. The hourly rate was not bad...really not that much less than what I was making at home and they ended up offering me a full-time job as an employee, but I wanted to stay home work because of kids..
Actually, it's Kelley, not Kelly
..
I'm not Kelly, but I e-mailed you

Hope you don't mind - I have some TT questions or just some ramblings about MQ...


 


 


Kelly Fast

Has anyone heard of this company?


Kelly, which account are you applying for??
If you are applying for ortho using Emdat.  There is LOTS of work.  Im not sure what account the person who talks about cherrypicking works on, but there has been tons of work lately.  Again, not sure what account she is talking about with the bad dictators because ALL of the ortho emdat docs are pretty darn easy compared to other nationals.  The pay isn't the greatest, but I would rather type easier accounts for less pay then ESLs for 1-2 cpl more.  I really enjoy working for them.  Hope this helps!!
The owner of TTS is Linda Kelly

To Kelly who sent me an e-mail about TransTech

I have been at Transtech for about a year and a half and I can honestly say that it is the best job I have had in this industry.  Since I worked on Extext in the past the only thing I had to learn were dictators - not bad at all, and account specifics which were very easy, only a couple pages long, very concise and easy to understand.  My account specifics at MedQuist were so long and confusing and full of redundant things. Don't worry about learning new things, it is so worth it especially since you have some Extext experience. It will come back to you because it is such an easy platform to use.  Management has been great.  My little boy has a birth defect and sometimes I have disrupted and crazy days but they are very understanding.


Go for it, Kelly, I promise you will agree that it is worth the effort!!


Kelly, try posting your question with the
Names of the companies in the Subject line, that way people will know without opening your message what type of information you are looking for. Then only people who know anything about those companies will respond.

There are archives that you can check, too, to find past comments and discussions.

I'm sorry I can't help you with your actual question (MD-IT or Meridian), but hopefully this information will help you get the information you do need.

Good luck (and don't let the trolls get you down! ;-)
Anybody working for Kelly Co. Transcription out of Missouri??
She had an ad on Job Seeker's board for a cardiology MT....
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time.  I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment).  I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time.  I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
Kelly is a temporary service company that's been around for years. sm
You may not be old enough to remember Kelly girls.  They used to be strictly secretarial, but do all branches of temporary work and job placement now.  It may be a temp or temp-to-hire position through them, or then I could be totally wrong.   
Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

KP
I think she is referring to
what you said in your post about this lady being an idiot.  I don't think that was bullying or anything.  Although, I was not looking for an opinion on a person here, I was simply looking for feedback on my post.  And NO I am not putting you down for anything you said in your post.  I really don't want this thread to turn into personal attacks and all the other junk I have seen on this board.  I just want some feedback.  Thanks all.
Which MDI are you referring to? - sm
If you are referring to MDI-FL, I use IT ProV with one of their progrmas, and it works great. They have very good benefits for employee, but I would ask the recruiter about that. Hope this helps.
Which OSi are you referring to? sm
I heard bad things about the OSi in Florida (Outsourcing Solutions or something like that), or are you talking about the other OSi in Pennsylvania (I think)?  Thanks a lot! 
What are you referring to?
nm
I think you are referring to the other OSI...
Opti-Script is out of State College, PA and I'm pretty sure they don't outsource. I like them so far. MT friendly and nice people.
Which MDI are you referring to, MDI-MD or MDI-FL? nm

What exactly are you referring to?
I work for Amphion and don't usually do unpaid busy work...so now I'm confused.  As far as their line rate goes, it is comparable or better than most of the nationals out there.  So, I am quite confused as to your post...feel free to email if you don't want to discuss it here, I am very curious...
What exactly are you referring to...
*all those demographics*??? It's one lousy number to type in, 7 lil ole digits...come on now, that doesn't slow me down that much. I'd probably produce much more if I'd keep XXXXX off this board for more than 30 minutes! So, don't blame the lil ole 7 digits I type in on the DI, cause that aint it...try again...
Not sure what you are referring to,but (sm)
could it be that they are no longer the little company - they have grown so fast and are so busy............is the atmosphere changing?  They are still wonderful to work for and take care of you when you need something, it's just....... can't finish a sentence here.  Still the best place I've ever worked.
I believe I know who you are referring to.
They did that to me too when I applied and I did not go any further with them. I do not know why it is important for them to know anything about your credit.
The OP was not referring to anyone in particular. SM
She was simply giving her opinion and I agree with her.

An impartial post would give the pros and cons of any given company and they all have them.


and that is what I am referring to...
She is obviously speaking up for her friend--what's wrong with that? And it doesn't matter why her friend stayed with the company so long. Maybe she was hoping (like we all hope) that it would work out. You guys have no right to laugh at ANYONE who wants to make things right.
Yes, indeed that is what I was referring to
I am glad someone is literate!
I don't believe anyone is referring to the OP
They're referring to that wacko who jumped in and derailed the entire thread with yet another TT rant and how much she hates her job and her company.

I don't think anyone is speaking negatively about the OP at all if I'm following this thread correctly.
I'm not sure which posts you are referring to
but I am the one who claimed the VR platform was released too soon.  I never said I was making good money on it.  In fact, I claim just the opposite.  My pay was drastically decreased on VR as opposed to straight typing because of the sound quality and the technical problems.  I did not make contradicting posts.  I can't explain the closeness of the IP numbers, but mine should all be the same as I have a static IP number. 
Which post are you referring to? (SM)
You can report posts you feel should be reviewed for deletion on the Monitor board at anytime.

Which post uses the name of company President?

Are you referring to the co. out of N. Carolina?
If so, I would also like some information.  I have been hired by them but the account has not started up yet.
Are you referring to the Sten Tel
There is obviously more than one Sten Tel in MA. Please clarify which one you are speaking of.
If you're referring to me...(sm)
I do acute care with about 90% ESL.
What post(s) are you referring to? Thank you. nm
x
which company are you referring to then? nm

Are you referring to Sten tel?
This sounds almost identical to my experience with them.
huh?? what are you referring to? saw no misuse of --sm
there, their, or they're in any of the above messages. SHEESH.
Are you referring to MTs who worked for
SPi before the merger, or those who now work for CyMed/SPi? 
hello -- I said I was referring to 2 different situations
x
I am referring to DSG in Atlanta, GA
...and I think those who replied are too.
Who are you referring to that has no work??

Can you tell us the companies that you are referring to?

I can definitely relate to what you are saying, but I want to know where you went that is better.


we were referring to the one who posted below you
nm
MDI-Trans ? Are you referring to -sm
MDI-Transcend? If so, checks are always on time (direct deposit), work is not all that steady, but this is a slow time everywhere. As for benefits, they are by far the best in the industry as far as I what I have checked out. About insurance rates, don't know because I don't need them. Hope this helps.
If you are referring to MedScribe in FL...
They have both IC and employee positions.  The full-time employee positions are based both on hours and lines transcribed, meaning you have a schedule to stick to plus a required minimum amount of lines per pay period.  They do have a 12-hour work window. 
What posts are you referring to?
I'm afraid I'm not sure which ones you're speaking of, but we would not delete a post simply because it was positive.

There are many reasons posts are deleted. Did the post have somebody's name in it? Was there anything that could have offended anyone, thus someone reporting it as needing to be deleted? Was it posted by a non-US MT? Was it connected to a post with any of these things going on?

Please do let me know which posts, and I'd be happy to check into it right away.
I think that's what fatcat was referring to (sm)
Notice how she capitalized the word YOUR for emphasis?
If you are referring my post...
I think it's pretty clear..
Referring people
Please don't take this wrong, but why would you ever refer people you don't know??? The reason I am asking this is that in the past, I have done this myself and ended up getting really burned and just made myself look bad. Please be careful who you refer. It can bite you in the seat of the britches one day.
What company are you referring to?

To what platform are you referring?
I have this problem with Dictaphone Ex text.
I was referring to the one in FL. Sorry if confusing....NM
