Thank you, Medware and MT Stars for the $50 Amazon gift.
I received my gift certificate yesterday. Oh boy - let the shopping begin!  Thanks again!!
Does anyone have a great idea for a gift...sm
that a young bride can get her husband who is in the military overseas?  My neice and her husband are coming up on their first anniversary, they can't be together, and she wants to get him something nice, but has no idea what to get him.
Yes, give her a new car - it would make a great Christmas gift!

Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly.
I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.
Medware
Anyone with information on Medware.  Would appreciate any input.  Thank you in advance.
Medware
This was the worst of the worst for me. I went back to working for a hospital (at home) after a month with them!
Medware

Can anyone tell me how long it took to get hired with this company?  I spoke with a recruiter last week, who acted like everything was all set and haven't heard from him since.  I did send himi an e-mail, but got no reply.  I didn't want to call and be a pester either, but I would like to know something.  I was just curious if this length of time was normal or not....Thanks


MedWare
Well, on the other side of the coin there is the fact that they have an easy-to-use platform, you get feedback/corrections for every report you send into QA, they offer good medical and dental benefits that are affordable, there are 7 paid holidays and at least 10 vacation days per year given, my supervisor is approachable and allows flexibility within reason, and, in my experience at least, we do not run out of work frequently.

The fact that they have a subsidiary in India does not bother me. Nowdays, it is a fact of life in this, and many other businesss.

I've been very happy in my years with Medware and have no plans to leave.

Like I said... I know not everyone agrees with my views on this, but I did want you to have another opinion from the opposite side.

Medware has gone through a lot of changes recently and not all of them good. The mentality is based on quantity, not quality. If you want to push through a lot of charts for low pay and no raises, then Medware is for you.

Only a couple of positives: They do not deduct for errors, pay is made on time, vacation pay, but you have to work 3 holidays a year. Platform is easy to use. Flexibility in scheduling is a huge plus.
MedWare
I have been happy there and am in my 3rd year of employment. In my personal experience I can say that I do not have accounts that are "picked over" due to outsourcing. Mine are great, as is my supervisor.
Medware

What's the general consensus with regards to Medware?  Thanks in advance.


medware
It doesn't make any sense. I passed it but they keep telling me I only scored an 82. HOw can you score an 82 when all your answers are right??
Medware
I had been with another company for nearly six years when I switched to Medware.  I love Medware! They're like any other company wherein benefits are available, but you are required to work 40 hours a week and produce your required line count.  Isn't that just the same as other companies?  QAs are quarterly, the pay is fair, and I have had great supervisors...just the best!!! I think some of the comments I have seen about Medware are harsh.  I've worked for the worst and feel Medware is one of the very best!!!
Medware
I absolutely loved working for Medware.  I worked for them for about 6 months.  I quit, as I was moonlighting and working a fulltime job.  It became too much.  I would go back there in a heartbeat though!
Medware
I currently work for Medware and love it.  The people are all great and I always have work.
Go with Medware! SM
GREAT benefits, GREAT team leaders, GREAT atmosphere just to name a few things. I worked BRIEFLY for JLG and was not very happy with them at all. The people were GREAT but the platform sucked. Also, I was not able to get much flexibility in scheduling. I have been with Medware for a year and a half now and absolutely LOVE my job and actually ENJOY coming to work! HTH!
MEDWARE INC

Do yourself a favor and do not work for Medware INC. 'Where there is smoke, there is fire.'
Regarding Medware
Someone who is disgruntled and who does not care to state WHY not to work at Medware.  I work at Medware (on the Merit side...used to work on the Dictaphone side as a shift leader and delta) and I am VERY happy here, and have been for over 3 years now.  It is still a great company to work for.  Yes, there are a LOT of changes that have gone on over the past 1-1/2 years, but so far, have all been positive, so unless you care to elaborate, "I" love Medware and hope to retire here.  As with any any job, there is ALWAYS going to be something that someone is not happy with.  I think if you talk with the management personally (and respectfully) you might agree.  JMO!!
Medware ---so far, so good --
Startup is quick. Supportive trainers. Like their platform. MT-friendly software.
Medware or Spheris
Medware wasn't a bad company and the benefits were good. The only complaint I had is they told me I would get a certain account, but when I started I ended up with 3 others, not including the one they told me I would get. I was started on all 3 at the same time and yes it got confusing. I worked for Edix, now Spheris, and the schedules were very very rigid there.
Can anyone tell me what Medware insurance
rates are for 2 people (me & hubby)?
Thanks!
Feedback about Medware?

Okay, gang, here is one more.  I see that they are listed as the 2005 and 2002 AAMT Employer of the Year, and I am scheduled to test with them tomorrow. 


Any feedback, good or bad, on Medware?


Medware has benefits???
The only benefit I heard of was their paying half of self-employment taxes. They said they do not offer full-time employment; they offer statutory employment which means they offer one benefit--the full-time employment tax half-payment. Where do I find out about the medical, dental, etc. you mentioned?

Do you find BayScribe easy to use and to learn?

About how many lines per hour is your average? How many on a good day? I'm just wondering about what productivity people are REALLY having in the company, as opposed to what a recruiter might tell me.
Information on Medware

 


Thinking about working for them.  Any input.  Thanks.


Medware and Meridian?
Anyone know anything about these companies.  I'm currently working but really need to get at least a part-time job as our work is extremely slow and I get the feeling that they are losing the account that I currently work on.  Any info is appreciated.  Thanks. 
I suggest trying Medware

I'm starting with them 7/1, but I can tell you the hiring process was one of the best I've experienced. The recruiter was super friendly. Once I applied, they got back with me within a few days.  Also, the testing process was very reasonable. Great benefits from what I've read (on here) and they don't change your accounts frequently. Take care and good luck!


I too worked for medware
a few years back and absolutely loved it!  I had to quit do to personal reason.  Great bunch of people!
I believe Medware is hiring for ER accounts right now. sm

Medware - Are they really a good co to work for? Thanks.

Medware's ad in job seekers, Is all of that true?

Medware is hiring ICs. They had a post on the

On ExText with MedWare and they also said No Vista! nm

Medware and Execuscribe, JLG any comments...
or opinions on theses three companies. Been offered a position with both and wondering who is the best out of these 3 to go with? TY in advance
I have been told and read that Medware offshores. I think you can do better.
There are many American companies that do not offshore. Please steer clear of any offshoring companies at any cost.
I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use

Full time at Medware is considered 32 hours. Nmsg..

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it. 
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
I really don't know but the best gift I could get is what I have now and that is 2 of the most te
companies anyone could have to work for! Both companies are simply wonderful. It is very hard to find ONE company that is the best but to find TWO is too unreal and to me that is the best gift one could ask for. I feel so blessed when I read these boards and see all of the folks who are unhappy. Both companies I have are thoughtful and really care about their people. You really cannot ask for more than that. ;)
No x-mas gift

This will be my second Christmas with this company.  I did not receive anything last year so I don't expect to this year either.  Still, a good company to work for.


gift
I just sent a gift of food from Popcorn Factory. Will arrive the 19th. I appreciate who I work for. very much.
Gift for Mom
Go to Hometown Favorites.com - neat stuff!
MT gift
I received a very nice tote bag with the Transolutions' logo with a very nice card.  The bag has lots of pockets--love it!  Happy MT Week! 
Did u get a gift?
I didn't. I guess technically we're not entitled to getting anything but it still would have been nice to get a card or something to show more appreciation for what we do. Just my thoughts. I think it depends on the size of the company.
gift
I scrapbook so of course I think in terms of pictures, momentos. How about a small scrabpook (4x6) filled with pics on great romantic paper. OH even has a scrapbook section. Check it out. Even if she doesn't scrap, you can buy kits that include everything you need and then put it together adding a few personal touches like journaling.
gift
When my husband returned from overseas I brought him a coffee cup filled with chocolate candies. The cup had an American flag on it. And a nice card. He really isn't going to be interested in the gift, so a token gift would be plenty. Enjoy your reunion!
Gift
I give my doctors cookie trays.  Somebody else suggested poinsettas.
Each day is a gift

and I do not say that lightly because my last week or so has sucked big-time donkey eggs. I said to my hubby this morning "Okay, honey, I'm leaving for the office now." He looked at me and cracked up because I was standing in the hallway in what he calls my "fart sack" a giant, several-sizes-too-big flannel nightgown. My kids are both home sick with mono and getting them through final exams and everything is going to be a challenge. The flip side of that is how lucky I am to work from home so that I can oversee their recovery and still earn a paycheck. I've resolved to try to find the silver lining in every cloud today.


By the way, those of you who saw my most on the gab board about DH's cellulitis, it seems to have miraculously started clear. I'm not getting cocky yet because he still has a pocket of infection near the top of his scar but he might be okay!


Gift
When my neighbors watch my cat while we're on vacation, I usually also get something from the place I visited.
gift
What is an appropriate gift ( reasonable ) to give a doctor's office that has a ton of employees ( I am an IC)? I feel I should give them something since I do appreciate the work, but do not want to spend a ton of $$. Thanks
thank you gift

We recently had a family reunion on my husband's side, hosted on 2 different days by 2 different cousins.  We want to send them both a nice gift for their gracious hosting.  Both families are in their 40s/50s, husband and wife.  Thanks for any ideas.
