I like Webmedx, 8 yrs (from Rodeer days) sm
Like my pay, my accounts, and love my manager. Good benefits, paid time off, flex hours. No offshore.
Been there since it was Rodeer sm
Plenty of work with opportunity to learn more accounts. I have a great supervisor, good accounts, good equipment and tech support. Pay is on time and benefits are really great. I'm an acute care MT, 24 years in the business. Webmedx is a good fit for me personally. There's another thread at the bottom of the page but someone says they don't pay -- in 7 years, I have never had a missed or bad paycheck so I don't know what that's about.
8 yrs, almost 9 now (was Rodeer before); sm
I've had a couple raises before the last one too, as my account mix changed or I had evaluations. Don't know what to think about those who say 'no one EVER gets one' - I think it is very individualized.
Does any company give regular raises now?? It sure doesn't seem so.
not just these days over the last couple years
revolving door lol
I have had my own business for 12 years and STILL have days that I am sm
wading through mud instead of flying on air!
Even after years of doing this, it's NOT true for the majority of MTs these days. Look at how man
s
Against. Dead/dying for MT now days for sure(30+ years MTing
.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
through merger with MDI-FL
I originally started with MDI-FL in 2002. In 2005, MDI-FL merged with Transcend and I didn't feel a ripple. Pay rate didn't change. Managers didn't change. Employees didn't change. All of my coworkers stayed with the company. I believe I work with about 50 people. I think the company actually improved because of the technology. I haven't worked with VR. The accounts I work on stayed the same and have been the same for the past 8 years. Another improvement was moving the voice from Lanier and DVI to beyondtxt. I love it.
Just wonder if another merger is in

My company just merged....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
with Transcend and I am not really sure if this is going to be a good thing or not but I am crossing my fingers. But so far I have been pretty satisfied with my employer- 2 years and counting!
I think they said 2100 MTs after merger
x
Merger; yes or no answer please
Can anyone with knowledge say if the pcl pay I currently receive will remain the same with Transcend, part-time or not? Staying on straight transcription?
About MDI/Transcend merger
The only mergers/buyouts I've been through were in-house, so I'm not sure how this entire situation works via the remote world of MT.
If I'm interpreting this right, as of today we belong to Transcend; does this mean the next step on the agenda is that Transcend will contact us? Do we just keep working as usual until further notice? Do our payroll dates remain the same (i.e., will the pay period still end this Friday at midnight?).
I had thought we might all receive a mass email from Transcend outlining everything that went into effect today, but I've received nothing.
If anyone has any answers to the above questions or has been through this and can give me sort of a synopis of what happens along the way, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has received anything from Transcend regarding what changes might be in effect as of today, was it anything substantial?
Thanks so much!!!
on MDI merger, anyone feeling guilty?
I feel terrible for having copped such a bad attitude, ie, that we were sold down the river. Having settled down and really looked at those Q&A emails and considered our economy and the market and/or world as it is today, I am having a change of heart. The fact that MDI has done such a fine job of taking care of us and the business all this time, lends to my thinking why would they suddenly not care about us? It is not a perfect world and choices are not always easy. I do think we have been spoiled by MDI in such a good way that other companies look rotten. But I am hoping I am not alone and that more MDIer's will give this merger a chance. Happy labor day weekend my friends.
I don't know of any company that gives more than 5 days
PTO the first year. Most have a percentage they use to calculate, not sure what that is.
If you are more concerned with having days off than you are of having them off with pay then the IC route would probably be the way to go. There may be companies that offer more than 5 days PTO the first year, but you'll be hard pressed to find one.
Just like any other company these days

You were there 3 whole days and you think you know the company? Wow, sm
talk about a snap judgment. Sounds like you are thin-skinned.
Current post-merger transcenders
I would like to hear from current transcenders, who became part of Transcend through a merger (like MDI-FL, etc).
Did transcend maintain your current line rate, and if you don't mind, were you making more than 9 cpl? If you were moved to VR, how did they calculate that rate? Did they tell you that all MTs receive say 50% for VR or did they just tell you what your individual line rate would be for VR?
Just to clarify, I'm not asking you specifically how much you make, but rather if they reduced the rate your previous company was paying you and how they determine the VR rate.
I've been with the company almost 10 years. I know the truth. Hawaii was a company-paid vacation.

My company gives a bonus after 90 days.
A company would be stupid to give a bonus upfront because they would have people work the minimum amount of time necessary to get the bonus. I've been other posts where the company will give the bonus spread out over a year.
Busiest Days of the Week for Your Company?
I always thoughts Sunday nights were busy, getting preops ready, etc., Monday's are pretty busy and Friday is always busy, but the days in between seem to be really slow this year. Is anyone finding certain days of the week to be busier than others?
I'm curious if this is the same company who takes like 30-45 days to pay
and it's lower pay. I could have it confused but last year I was going to contract with a company with that name or similar but decided against it when I read the contract about the pay schedule.
Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
.
Hmmmm..I was afraid of that. I guess I saw that coming. Everyone said it'd change with the merger
and the days of a gift card would be gone. Oh well, it kind of goes along with everything else, different way to get shorted on line counts too. I guess ...This is what they call cutbacks. Tis' the season
Looking for a company who hires Monday-Friday days
Does anyone know of a company who hires full time transcriptionists for Monday-Friday? I have years and years experience and am tired of working the weekends! Your help will be greatly appreciated!
you must have mistaken this for another company; benefits start in 30 days
This person obviously has no clue
Still not great PTO for first year. I get 12 days at current company. NM
NM
See, my company has these things called days off! Cool, huh?!?!
NM
Hey, don't feel bad, many times it takes days for the company to ,,,,,sm
look through all the resumes and tests they receive, just believe in yourself, keep positive, keep applying to other good prospects, and it will happen for you. Good Luck!!
My experience exact opposite- Me willing work 6 days, regular sched, 100% QA last review- Company: N
Me: Ready, willing and able to work 6 days a week, regular schedule, 100% QA my last review, on all ESL's doctors.
Companies: No work. All ESL work. All the worst dictators. No work, did I mention that. Don't want to buy new software or any software to help the MT. Ridiculous formatting rules to decrease my line count. Low line count rate. No holiday pay. Have to work holidays.
Your post was way, way out of line. Maybe you work for a great company, SO tell us who it is.
I've tried 10 companies in 10 years, and they were all the same. Pick my brain and make me work hard, hard, hard for ? 150 lines an hour with ALL ESL, poor sound quality, and then don't really want to pay for the 150 lines, want to jiggle and wiggle it down to 120 or less with rules.
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
About 6 years ago this company did the same SM
stuff with the pay (and for a period of time didn't pay anyone) and MM from the paid site had to intervene.
Me too. About 25 years ago the company I
worked for (not MT) went to ADP. The process is probably different now, but I had to fill out paperwork to submit every week that they then entered. My paperwork always balanced, their paperwork never balanced - well it did one time and they sent me a know saying that my information didn't balance. I had to go through all the paperwork again every week, where again it all balanced, and then I had to make sure the checks were right every week. Took me twice as long to do payroll by using ADP as it did doing it all by hand.
25+ years and this is the best company ever!!!
Highly recommend applying!!
There is so much wrong with that company that 100 years
wouldn't fix it.
The company I work for NEVER gives PTO, even after 5 years. I would be willing sm
to wait a year to get it. Right now, I hate taking a day off at all because I am paycheck to paycheck and need to work to make money. If I had PTO, I would not feel guilty taking a day off here and there or even a short vacation.
A few years ago my secondary went to another company and (sm)
evidently some of the office people as well, they in turn gave the new company the names and phone numbers of us who had worked the account and the new company actually called many of us to solicit us as employees. I felt it would have been okay for me to switch, since I had had no control over the account coming or going, but I didn't feel it was right for some of the higher ups to be involved in soliciting us for the new company. If anyone was in the wrong, they were. They shouldn't have shared records and personnel information like that from one company to the other IMO.
Good company for me for last 2 years.
Lots of work. Good pay rate. Management/team leads are accessible. Good feedback. Get paid on time.
Have worked with his company for many years (sm)
The owner is a gem and a very caring person. Pay is always on time, 15th and 30th. 
I have worked for the company seven years now
and love the job! The owner works directly with you until you are on your own typing the work, and you have communication with all transcriptionists whenever you need help with something. I never have to wonder if I will get paid, as the check is always sitting in my mailbox within three days after the pay date. There are only a handful of people that work for this company, so it is one of those dream jobs that you never want to let go of after you have it! I have read all of the negative posts regarding this position, and the people who wrote the comments obviously do not know what they are talking about, yet they still seem to feel free in sharing their negative views. What's up with that? It makes me very angry to see that this company is continuously being bashed each time the help-wanted ad is posted, but I guess that type of thing is to be expected from those that know they are not qualified to do the job. Some people are obviously quick to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to bad-mouthing companies after they have tested poorly or are told the work has been given to someone else. If you are qualified for the job, it is one of the best ones out there, so use your own judgement when it comes to applying for work. Otherwise, you might just miss out on one of those dream jobs!
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm

I envy you. 5 years ago at my company I would have said the same thing
Now they are using such unfriendly software, can't fix any of the problems, it seems, and I'm seriously thinking of moving on. The owner hires her friends, and I really don't think anyone is qualified. JMO, of course.
TransTech is the best company I have ever worked for. I have been here two years
and can't say enough good about them. I know that they are owned by some former L&H people. They are adding new accounts like crazy and are always hiring.
I've been there for 3 years - yes, good company
xx
Worked for them a few years ago. Not a bad company. You could do worse. -nm

Established company, started six years ago. They have
not grown at all through acquisition but rather just plain old fashsioned good business.
I have worked for this company for years without problems!!
For those of you that are looking for a good company to work for, this is it. I have not had any problems with Transnet or ExText. For the account I am working on, there are very few ESL dictators and lines are very easy to come by. Regarding Word 2000 or 2002, that is the requirement of the clinic that River City is working on, NOT the requirement of River City. So it would be the clinic you are referring to when you are saying archaic and out of date with their technology. River City has no control over what type of software the clinic uses but only requires that the transcriptionists use what the clinic uses. I would rather work for a company that is good and stable where I can really feel like I am part of a team rather than just some gal out that chalking up lines on some unknown dictation system. Yes, the pay is a little less than the nationals but most dictators on the account I am on use quite a few normals and lines are quick. I would recommend this company over and over to someone that just loves what they do.
I just left a company after 10 years, making only

I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm
