Do you really mean 12/14/05 or 2/14/06? Stinks either way. nm

0.7 cpl STINKS

I heard back too.  No thanks!


GP.... This really stinks.......... sm
I'm really sorry it has happened to you, but like one poster said below, I rather think the ACLU would be interested in this.

I had an employer who threatened to sue me once when I left the company if I influenced any MTs to go with me (as though I had that much influence). I never heard another peep out of him, and hopefully you won't out of this either. I'd cross my fingers for you, but that makes it kinda hard to type. ;o)
I'd take the other job offer. MQ stinks!

Their program stinks!

Cymed STINKS....sm

If you are considering working for this company, they pay 7 cpl for employee status, they do NOT pay for spaces and the lady that does the training is so rude it ain't funny....either she is overworked or she is just a wicked cow!


PLUS, they do outsource and some of the offices lie to you and say they pay for spaces, they don't. 


I wouldn't say DSG stinks.....
I previously worked at DSG, but didn't stay because of the sound quality. I now work at GIMT, and their sound quality doesn't even compare!  It's so much better than DSG.  Other than the sound quality, DSG was okay.
The whole thing stinks. (sm)
I don't think you are getting it! You do realize that before you get a job to edit that it first goes past an Editor in India, don't you?

Crazy stuff, an offshore MT types it, it is then edited by an offshore editor (who is not much better than the MT)and then it comes to us to be edited again with a 100% listen.

I think we have all accepted the fact that offshoring is a reality and we all knew when we accepted the position with MW that we would be editing offshore work, but I did not sign up to work for slave wages ($8) an hour.

I have no clue what your situation is, but I am way too good to work for that. I also have more pride in myself then to be insulted by the people of MW.


I understand, but that stinks for us who need help...
I figured that would be the answer :( Oh well, back to square one.
The pay stinks, in my opinion.

United Stinks!
I tried to work for United for a few days.  I specified MULTIPLE times I am NOT a morning person.  They disrespected me and called ALL DAY, started phoning before 7 a.m. to ensure I don't sleep at all since I went to bed after 6 a.m.!!!!  They sent an email telling me to phone them when I feel like speaking to them.  Great...I won't break any nails dialing the phone - TWO MORE STAFF PEOPLE CALLED ME TO HARASS FURTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why were they calling?  To ask why I was not typing right then!!!  Well duh!!!  Second shift begins at 3 p.m. my time and all this drama was going on at 1 p.m. my time!!!!!!!!!!  HELLO!!!!!!!!!  GET AN EDUCATION!!!!!!!!  LEARN THE TIME ZONES JERKS!!!!!!!!!  So, for the money and the harassment and the sweat shop atmosphere, I recommend any other company. This one is not worth the hassle, the time, or the energy since the staff is disrespectful, hateful, inflexible, inconsiderate, unprofessional and unacceptable.  Is the money even worth it?  No, for my 15 years' experience, they offered 0.08 a line.  Oh..another thing...I told them I would work this weekend - they don't have an auto job feed so it took over 3-4 hours for someone to 'send me work since their system is antiquated.  Yes, you have to rely on someone to send you work in order to have anything to type and then they send you 2 jobs, you type, you request more work, and you get more work after having downtime of 2 hours.  So...in 8 hours, you are lucky to have typed 5-8 jobs.  So, to get up to 15 jobs, count on 12-16 hours a day!!!! 
stinks as compared to what?
x
maybe the account stinks
nm
It stinks right now, worse than ever - sm
It seems no one pays much anymore and if they don't post their pay and ask you to state what your requirements are and you tell them, you never hear from them again.  Or worse, they have idiotic platforms that are not MT friendly, no matter what they say.  I swear there are no decent-paying jobs out there anymore for the MTs who have been doing this for over 20 years.
It's still Apex and it still stinks sm
I'm hoping to leave there this week.  It is Apex and it really is the pits.  There is nothing MT friendly about it.  I also came to realize they only have 1 account so with that always running low there isn't much hope for making a living there.
The platform stinks.
a'fkdakdafkd
You emailed me to tell my pay stinks? sm
well first of all, I work part-time 4 hours a day, and make up to $100 a day, so that is $25 an hour, so don't email me and tell me I don't make squat. you don't know anything about my situation, and at least I don't make 4 cents a line for VR, so I consider myself fortunate. Why did you ask such a weird question, then I answer, then you rip. Just another one of the bitter, unprofessional people on this board.
The company stinks and if you look back through
the archives you'll be hard pressed to find a good post about them, and then they have to be from someone in management.  Even people that didn't listen to our experience and went to work for them are living and regretting they didn't listen.  Absolute worst company there is. 
DSG stinks. GIMT is great though
nm
Exactly. India work stinks.
x
grapevine that their platform stinks. Otherwise, I know nothing
m
I knew Transcend stinks,
and they try to hide behind a femce with everything including training pay, which you do not get.
They overhire. Their program stinks.
The training is worse. They outsource work so there is nothing left. The transcription program is horrible and you do 3 times as much work to do a document as you would anyplace else. You cannot use automatic numbering, you cannot do this, you cannot do that, and new rules every day. You spend all day clicking and changing everything.
My account is just over the border in US and it stinks.
nm
Sorry, but your whole story stinks and is really gettting so old!nm
nm
Sorry VR STINKS, I emailed you instead of posting.
You can disregard or share!
She is nice and she does pay promptly and in full, but the pay stinks.

.


That puts it into perspective - and 16 an hour stinks!

No - significantly decreased. Bayscribe stinks! nm

Transcend stinks...They used to be awesome but it has gone from bad to worse.
My line count has gone down so I have no doubt they are manipulating line counts and communication is the worse. Everything falls on deaf ears unless they have a problem with you, then they email you very quickly, but forget getting help on anything else. The more TL and QA people they have added the worse it has gotten. Maybe the problem is that they are not sure what their job descriptions are so no one answers emails. I'm done with them.
Stinks, doesn't it? Seems like everytime they do an upgrade sm
the lines get tougher to get.
Company ok, but the human ratsources and payroll stinks.
They play good game of being KGB, screw up more than anyone else in the company, but never get in trouble, just keep compounding their mistakes. The wondeful programs to keep track of us never work right, but they are so nasty to us that no one wants to work for them.   Why is management so blind?
Version 8 stinks. I would not do purchase anything to work for a company.
don't do it, unless they are paying you 12 cpl to edit the VR.

Tell them you can not afford it with the line rate they pay...he he!

Happy New Year!!
Same here--weather stinks for work at homers - good riddance to FL. nm

agree, i didn't take the position because the health insurance stinks
the deductibles are too high
Stinks. If you state your line rate requirement, they vanish. (nm))

I agree, although I have worked all shifts and communication stinks no matter what.
I think emails get lost in the abyss. Sadly, your sending email to like eight people and still no answer. No thanks. I'm glad I am out of there. The only thing I did like was payment on time and DD. That's it. Very stressful job
UPDATE: CARD AND GIFT CARD ARRIVED TODAY FROM TRANSCEND. USPS STINKS...
It tooks what looks like over 2 weeks to get there. It could have been shipped to a third world country is that much time. Shame on USPS. I guess you get what you pay for..even at 41 cents.Yikes. Sorry to my employer.
E-Scribe

Does anyone know how much E-scribe pays per line? I am thinking of applying with them.  What is a good rate to type for?  I was told 8 cpl (65 characters w/spaces) was a good rate. Does anyone pay less or more than that? Is 7 cpl too little? 


Able Scribe

I applied for a job a few months ago and it turned out they didn't even have the account, but then MT companies aren't exactly known for their integrity. 


Med-Scribe in FL? SM
I was wondering if anyone could give me recent information about this company.  The only information I could find in archives was 2 or more years old.  Anyone currently working there, I would really appreciate some input regarding pay, dictators, benefits, etc.  TIA
RE: Scribe Right
Great company! But only IC status-no benefits, which works great for me as DH as the benefits. Pay always on time. Very happy with them.
Med-Scribe - FL
I have read past posts that have me a bit scared about getting paid if I accept a position with them, but these posts are over a year old.  Have things improved in that respect?  Any new news on this?  Please reply.  Thanks!
Med-Scribe
I have applied with Med-Scribe and am wondering if I can get some feedback from other MTs. I searched the archives, and all the messages were more than 2 years old. I am really, really hoping things have improved since they were posted! I really need to get off the IC and get some insurance. I would love to hear from any current or recent employees. Thanks!
Med-Scribe
There is not a lot of info on this company except for really old posts. Can anyone tell me generally whether they enjoy working for Med-Scribe, how is the pay, how is the work flow and what platform do they use? 
Doc-U-Scribe
Medquist and DSG. DSG is hiring.
it is Doc-Q-scribe....

med-scribe
does anyone know how much med-scribe pays?  Thank you!
Med-Scribe
I have just been offered a position with Med-Scribe out of Florida for an ER account (which is what I wanted). Are they a good place to work for, pay on time, pay for spaces, treat employees well, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
What about Med-Scribe or D&L?

Med-Scribe in NJ
Anyone with current information on this company.  Lots of older stuff found but unable to tell if they are about this one or the one in Florida.  Interested in the NJ Med-Scribe only.  TIA.
