left after 6+ years - loooooong wait
on invoices and they are very good at finding deductions and telling you after the fact (that is, when you finally DO get your invoice). Great account (not EMDRAT) but I can't work for free!
I don't think I can wait that long!
I haven't talked to anyone from Amphion, but their web site info looks great, especially the make your own schedule and holidays being completely up to the MT.
How long to wait?
Recently I tested and passed with a national company that has had quite a few advertisements on this site recently.  I immediately received an e-mail saying I had passed the test and when would be a good time for a telephone interview, which I answered...that was last Tuesday and I haven't heard anything.  I'm sure their HR department is very busy, but how long should I wait to e-mail them again, or try to call?  I really need this job and it's a good fit for my experience (PT).  Don't want to be a pest, but don't want to fall through the cracks, either.  Thanks!
Gone too. Finally, after long wait.
Too much BS.  Either tons of emails, work, work, work for your incentive, not that you EVER see it in your paycheck.  Send emails and get your ticket, automatic response, and never an answer from anyone who should answer.  Pays promised one day and delivered 4 days later.  Done with it and glad to be leaving.  Poor management, poor communication, if any, and poor everything.  RUN.
Who can afford to wait that long?
No way would I take such a job - what happens if they NEVER get paid? You work for free, that's what.

It's not common at all - you'd be better of getting your own accounts!
How long to wait to start new job?
I was offered a new job Monday and sent in the completed paperwork as required right away via fax.  I got a welcome letter the same day.  I have heard nothing since and did email once thanking them for the position and indicated I was ready to start immediately.  Still, I have heard absolutely nothing since.  How long should I wait to actually get started?  I was told that they were growing and I could have as much work as I wanted.  Any advice?
Pay is strange with a LONG wait...nm

I know Heartland makes you wait that long.
nm
I wouldn't wait that long. If I cannot be on a regular
What are they paying, once a month? So, for the whole month of May, you draw pay on June 13th?

Not for me.

Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
Call now. A week is certainly long enough to wait. nm

How long did you wait for training at Transcend?
Just wondering what the typical time frame is from install to training?
Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?

Transcend...how long of a wait for insurance?

WTH do they wait so long? is it a form of torture?
lazy?!?!?!
Wait...let me guess. Shapin right? Can go for long without mentioning them!
If they are making the $ it is either because of working round the clock or whizzing through with poor quality. I am thinking whizzing through because in past postings they are very busy with posting negative things here. I make 4 cpl and listen to everything as required. I do well, but to do it right and be thorough you would not make big $ at 1.5.
Wait til you see what kind of account it is -- sm
One of them is the account from Hell! Don't say you weren't warned!
Anyone tested and heard back from DTS America. How long was your wait? nm

If your waiting on an Escription account, you have a while to wait.
The work flow right now is up and down with most of the work being in the evening. They have overhired in my opinion. They had all of these accounts supposedly with a lot of work and then NOTHING.
Anyone working on cardiology account for Superior Global out of TX?

Wait to talk to the recruiter. If the account you are working on requires a C-phone, sm

they will loan you one if they have one available.  No sense in spending extra money if you do not have to do so.  :-)


Good luck !  I love it at Keystrokes.  I have only been there about 4-5 months,but my experience has been a good one.  I think you will like it. 



I was not happy and left.
The account I was on had 15 phone numbers that a person had to dial manually, and if you couldn't get a line, you were out of luck and had to wait a while. The sound quality on the account was awful, and as others have mentioned, you also have to have unlimited long distance.

I was assured there would only be 1 account to work on so that I could become familiar with the doctors. Instead, within a short period of time, I was being jerked between 3 different accounts.

The owner began e-mailing every day asking people to do extra. She also demanded people work weekends (even if they were already signed up to work one day), and at one point became demanding. I worked 1 month straight without a day off, and at the end of the month was asked to work more. When I said I needed a day off, it wasn't pretty.

I am with a new company, on the same platform, and can get the same line count in 4 hours compared to the 8+ it took me with MDI. The difference? The new company's accounts are web based.
It was $1.15 when I left not long ago. nm

left MQ not too long ago, and I would definitely NOT
work for them if you are looking to make any money!

Good Luck!
this has been going on too long - I left because of it

I really doubt it!!! Left after 2 yrs with them and now very happy!!
OSi lacks professionalism in every aspect. Unqualified managers, horrible tech department, servers always down, on and on.
I worked there as an MT..... was not happy and left.

I worked there for 2 years.  There were a lot of policies there that I did not like.  I left there and found a company that is better suited to me and treats their employees much better.


 


How long have you been there?  I know leaving the comfort of a job is tough but there are much better companies to work for (in my opinon anyway)


As long as you left your job profesionally, you

I left there a long time ago but I
had office people but I don't think they were MT's.  I do remember the endless account rules and them changing all the time.  They were very disorganized when they distributed information.  It wasn't the worst place I've worked but it wasn't a picnic either. 
I'm no longer with MDI but I left long

before there were workflow problems.  I actually worked there 2 separate times with the same liaison and accounts each time.  I liked it there but I had a weird primary account that loaded work twice a day and I didn't like working around those 2 times.  My accounts are the ones that went to VR so it's a good thing I left when I did because there certainly wouldn't have been enough work after that on my primary.


Anyway, I have a feeling that they are wanting people to leave so that they can bring new people on at a lower rate.  That's really the only thing that makes sense, don't you think?  Times are tough everywhere so more and more people are going to settle for 8 & 9 cpl for statutory.  You've got tons of people coming on board who are used to babysitting their computer all day so the new folks are probably not going to complain.  The ones who have been with MDI forever are the ones who are really taking the hit. 


I agree that it is unfair.


 


Hunred bucks says it's TT - exactly why I left after a month. Happy now.

Any happy Transcenders out there? I know a couple people have left, not sure why. nm

I left them not long ago. Way too much time spent talking to
tech support because of technical problems or glitches with their system. I probably averaged 90 minutes a day down-time trying to get everything in order. Their transcription platform is not the best in the world from what I saw.
I left out wanting to share..(long night)
nm
I also vote for Webmedx - used to work for the Q, left long ago sm
Have not worked for Transcend or SoftScript so can't judge. I agree with the above poster; pay good, shift diff, PTO, decent bennies. Lots of work. Keep in mind there are two parts of Webmedx - the one on Enterprise platform and ChartMatrix; the ChartMatrix side seems to have more negative reviews.
superior global any good?
Does anybody know anything about Superior Global - someone recommended them to me but I can't even locate their website - Thanks
Good Idea. You are smart to wait. nm

I left them over 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Moved to Webmedx. Quite happy. nm

I left after nine years in June before the pay cut and I am very happy in my new position and making

as long as you are happy working as
an IC. No contributions to social security. do your own tax paperwork, etc. nice people, though.
Superior Global Solutions..anyone have anything good or bad to say??
Please respond if you can tell us anything about this company...pay rate?  pay on time?  platform?  Thanks
I started out very happy with them, now I am not so sure, long story.

I am also long-term happy here; nothing is perfect but sm
Webmedx is working for me, has worked for me about 8 yrs now; next best thing to my previous hospital job.
Not much left to sell since they lost big account.nm

I hated it there, they sent good accts to India (spheris global). nm

I left, too. Incredibly picky account rules. No $$.

How long has your account been on it?
Mine was being moved over to it, and it was awful for many, many months.  Once established, if ever, it would probably be okay to work on.  I had to fight for 500 lines a day, and there were days I had to fight for 50 while on auto pilot. 
Boy, I'd be happy to take over that private account if you want to get rid of it!
   I'm sure that is not the one you'd want to get rid of though!!
Happy, I also have a high ESL account
at MDI and I love it. I like the challenge of learning the accents. I remember one doc (probably Indian or Pakistani) that I had the hardest time with when I started. Now I love to get his work, as I can breeze right through it. I'm with you, I'll take the ESLs over some of the American mushmouths and speed demons any day!
An account/company you are happy with, and the $$
I also live in a remote area.  Can't make as much or have the flexibility elsewhere.
