Just curious as to what MTSO feels is good pay for
x
Anyone hire on with MQ recently that feels it's a good fit? Getting the pay you wanted? nm
,
A company feels like if you keep your credit in good standing, then
they can expect the same from you. I am in total agreement with a company checking, I have nothing to hide, in fact am very proud of what my credit score is. They don’t care what you owe or how much you owe, the only thing they are looking for is how do you handle your credit. When you are renting now, places check your credit. Smart move on their part.
but how's the pay in the midst of all that niceness?
Wonderful... but inquiring minds want to know: Do you get at least 9 cpl? Are you making less working for this company than you were working somewhere else 5 3, 3, 7 years ago? How sure are you they won't start figuring out creative new ways to lower your line count as time goes by? Does treating you like a real human being mean they're paying you what you're worth? And not switching you to a horrible atrocious account the minute you get up to speed on your startup account? No cherrypicking to make sure you stay well within a certain pay range? Again, it's all about the money, what's on the paycheck. Nice doesn't pay the bills necessarily.
maintaining the niceness of this board
It's great that you have an interest in maintaining the board's integrity, but I get the feeling you think my post was some sort of evil-intentioned smear campaign. Your reaction was knee-jerk and aggressive. It would have been possible to tell me that my information was incorrect by simply stopping at your post title. You would have maintained the integrity of the board & I would have been enlightened, a win/win situation. So why the aggression? If having an integrity-maintained board means I have to risk getting reamed out if I try to contribute something, I'd rather read a different board. I'd like to think that as MTs we are all on the same side, even when we disagree on particular issues or feel the need to gently correct someone's information, but your post leads me to believe differently. As my mother used to say, you catch more flies with honey. Man! sure glad I don't work for you.
Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
Yes there is! Good pay and good bonuses and good benefits.
Management is good, benefits are good
As with most places, familiarity and building your templates is the key to lines. I never run out of work but, on the other hand, I said in my hiring interview that I had been through a series of good companies but where I was constantly running out of lines and so that was a huge priority for me, and they have honored their promise to keep me in full-time work. Insurance is cheap and good. PTO starts accruing from day 1. Holiday leave comes out of your PTO, but you earn 3 or more weeks a year (based on your lines typed) and they don't insist that you work it. I had Thanksgiving, Christmas eve, and New Year's day off for the 1st time in (seems like) forever! I would say, in all honesty, that the only thing I don't like is that I have to go to another page to check my lines but that takes a few seconds and is more of an inconvenience than anything.
Good pay and benefits
Does anyone know of a good company that is willing to pay 10cpl for someone with several years of experience? Would they also have a good benefit package?
In this day and age, any benefits are good to
work at home. I have great MQ bennies but no work, so what good are they????
Help! Looking for good benefits, especially medical.
Spent the past couple of weeks applying for a few job openings and got offers from each company. For a variety of reasons, I am still looking but without exception, I found the benefits package insulting. I'm not that picky. Just want medical insurance that I can actually afford to take advantage of...reasonable deductible, at least fair to good coverage and premiums that won't break the bank. Any ideas?
saying any benefits is good is devaluing yourself
on, it isn't their problem you are broke. Take personal responsibility for your life...that is what made this nation great. Life, liberty and happiness. Find yours. Get a second job, quit MQ but insist on being valued for what you do. If you don't, stop blaming someone else.
TransHealth's benefits look very good SM
and pay is very competitive (meaning 8 to 10 cpl).
Family coverage is about $450 a month...so, although not cheap, much better than what you're having to pay now. Also, they start the first of the month after you start. So, if you start on Feb. 15, medical benefits kick in March 1.
They have an ad on the Job Seekers board. You should check them out.
(I just finished the testing process and am waiting to hear back from them. Dictation portion was tough, but the rest was not too bad. Verbal quiz was scary, but not difficult. Someone with the amount of experience that you have would do wonderfully, I'm sure.)
Good luck! 
Benefits are good at Medware
They offer United Healthcare and it costs me $17/week. $250 yearly deductable and also includes a prescription card. I have been with Medware for 2 years and they are a good company to work for.
Job #1 if you need benefits. Good luck! nm

Keystrokes has good FTE benefits
So sorry about you losing your job, and I hope you find something you enjoy quickly.
Good benefits at Webmedx - sm
medical, vision, dental, life and disability insurance; PTO and holidays. Lots of work, you use their equipment. ESL - that may be more of an issue. But it doesn't hurt to find out what is open at this time. Good luck to you. I was outsourced from my hospital job about 10 years ago and feel lucky to have ended up at Webmedx.
As long as you don't need benefits, good place.

MDI florida, pretty good benefits,
transcription super, Debbie, very easy to work with, down-to-earth. Pay 10 cpl if you have Meditech experience for acute care/radiology. Saw in one post where they were willing to train. Worth looking into. I work for them, good company so far.
Can you give specifics? Are the benefits at least any good? nm
nm
Webmedx is great for me; good benefits, sm
PTO, reasonable insurance cost. Plenty of work, decent platform (although we had some trouble last week but that's rare). I realize one company can't be right for everyone, but Webmedx has been great for me. 8 years and counting.
Webmedx has pretty good benefits sm
The benefits at Webmedx are pretty good. You are eligible for benefits after 90 days. I am paying about $400 per month for a family plan for health, dental, and vision. The coverage is pretty good for general visits and pharmacy, but there is either a $1000 or $2000 deductible (depending on which plan you choose) for hospitalization, after which insurance pays 80% and you pay the rest. There is also a deductible for certain medical supplies. My son is a type 1 diabetic and we have to pay a $1000 deductible for his insulin pump supplies. Not the best insurance that I've ever had, but it is much cheaper than what my husband can get through his work (he would have to pay $1000 per month in premiums for a family plan).
It is good for employee, horrible for IC. Why no benefits? sm
There are too many companies out there (Keystrokes, WebMedx, etc) that will pay 9 cpl and have benefits. Don't sell yourself short. You have 10+ years and know the Basic 4. You should get employee status, at least 8.5 cpl and full benefits including PTO and insurance.
Is 9cpl a good pay for employee position with benefits?
Trying to make comparisons. Thanks
Is $15.00 per hour with excellent benefits good pay for a pathology transcriptionist
There is an ad in my local newspaper for this position, and I am considering applying. It doesn't mention anything about incentive, so I doubt that there is any, but the way the transcription industry is going, I think this may be my best shot for the next 15 years. As I turned 50 yesterday and looking to retire at 65. They have pension plan and 401K with match, long and short term disability.
P.S. Exact same hours of my choice, benefits, etc,, Good luck All!!....NM
ps
Good and Bad - some gifts bought/missed WMX benefits call (sm)
Of course I procrastinated to attend the call on my day off, then off I went with my daughter shopping.
Did I miss anything much other than explanation of health plans? Is there a web site they referred to you? Should I call HR and admit I am a moron?
TIA
Gotta agree -- YOG was the best! Great pay, good benefits. I quit sm
the moment I heard she had sold to MQ .. ugh.
Good luck to you. Hope they are lenient with the benefits with all the low work. nm

not everyone feels that way...
I just had to say that I have saw the posts regarding those who did not like you or said that you were awful to deal with, but I don't agree. I'm still with D&L after you brought me on and love it. I never had any problems with you. You handled your job and kept me in work. I was very surprised to find you no longer there. I wish you luck in whatever you are doing now!
Yes, me too. I know how OP feels. I also SM
want to add to GP, you sound like a wonderful person and I have always enoyed your posts.
I'm not out of this, but the end should be coming soon.
Seeking company that offers good benefits including insurance.
Ideally, I'd like to find a company that offers medical insurance at a reasonable cost for family (under $500 a month) and a decent line count rate. Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanks.
That's strange. When I received an offer, I thought it was competitive and the benefits were good
especially medical insurance benefits for family. Maybe I did not look at them very close. Could you elaborate on what you were offered? I really thought they were decent pay and benefits.
Transolutions? Anyone know how good their medical insurance benefits are, costs, etc..specifically
family coverage. They say you only have to work 32 hours to be eligible so I'm curious what their benefits are like. Thanks
Focus Infomatics--Anyone have any experience with their insurance benefits, good rate, etc..
Yes, I know all there is to know about them in the negative form but people respond only if you know about their insurance plan. Thanks
Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm
incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time. The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus. I have been there since October and am very happy. Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.
Good luck! 
Feels kind of right, what your saying
"The other troublemaker"
It is evident that not everyone feels the same way
I am another MT that feels a recruiter should be here arguing for or against their company. If they are good company, they will retain good MTs whether they offshore or not. In regard to company paperwork, not everyone is inclined to own a fax machine. It is not a prerequisite for a job. 
finally, someone else who feels the
way that I do. We are all human beings with feelings and deserve to be treated as such. Thank you.
IMO, FN feels MTs are disposable
They must think there is an endless supply of warm bodies to do this job and put up with being treated poorly. I really didn't have any trouble with the staff, the platform or the pay -- there just was no work. Therefore, I took on a second job and phased away from working for them. I need money to live. Getting 5 jobs, then No Job Available for the rest of the day was unacceptable.
Does everyone get it yet?!? They don't care about their transcriptionists. What they care about is their TAT and being sure to remain over-staffed. When I told them I was leaving, the response was, Well, you have to do what you have to do. We are all replaceable in their eyes: Disposable, robotic typists. Their loss.
Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but

MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like
:+
She acts as if she feels threatened and angry
At least that was my impression of her.
You're right though. She'll get her come-down some day.
Yep. This MT feels like a ping pong ball...
Meanwhile, because the last 6 months has not been the best with the MTSOs, owe lots of bills, and looking to change jobs for about the 3rd time. Actually very tired of being promised and then not having a full paycheck. What am I to tell the bill collectors today? I am going to apply to another job, or take on another, because my job is always running out of work? Talk about a poor credit reference. Uggg. Signed the ping pong MT.
You'd be surprised who feels they aced tests but didn't.
Everyone always thinks they are the big kahona in testing but I am never surprised at lower scores.
If you bombarded them with tons of emails, etc., you probably hindered your ownself.
Never be too sure of yourself. I see it undone every single day.
not to mention, this feels like a push to make this just a part-time
job because it seems to be happening already. My partner drives a school bus and they do that to the drivers, they only allow them to work so-many hours a week, with absolutely NO benefits, other than the few the union has gotten them, and the bit higher pay scale. My partner also has had the union fight for his job many times especially when new managers would come in and right away want to 'clean house', get rid of the higher paid, senior drivers. It costs him 37 dollars a month though for 10 months and that is a drag too but in the long run, he does have some protection and the union is only as strong as its members. they are also in bed with management most of the time but these managers are usually nasty, aggressive, and would rather just hire their friends and family, and that is one thing I appreciate the union for, if nothing else...
you have to have an advocate - someone has to have our best interest in mind if we are ever to keep our jobs...
Nope, just tired of the whining; feels like a daycare center
Seems to me all the time and energy put into this board whining over something that cannot be changed would be more wisely used either (a) learning VR or (b) putting out one's resume.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.
