Old posts say the owner is nasty and they run out of work all the time. Don't like workaholic
s
for the last time, if you read the posts and
had your listening ears on; there was NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO REPLY.
Oh, the same egotistical blowhard posts this every time.
Like we don't remember the names of every recruiter who's ever lied to us to get us on board ASAP to meet their hiring bonus or quota or whatever. Most smaller or mid sized companies don't even use recruiters. As for the big nationals that do use recruiters, I would never work for any one of them again, so the recruiters can stick my name above their desk in gold glitter for all I care. Recruiters that job hop also have sketchy resumes. Whoopdedoo. I'm totally honest about my work history. I applied to ONE MT company yesterday and had an interview within an hour of submitting my application. How's that for being a blacklisted jobhopper?
Posts from May said they offered 6-8 cpl with spaces and pay was on time. nm

They are a waste of time. Lots of posts in
the archives.
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
Don't think they hire part time. Old posts are not favorable. nm

Why should I waste time proofing posts, they don't pay the bills. nm

Posts from Aug. say hounded by phone calls all day, micromanage your time, and

This shouldnt be a surprise. The owner herself posts on this forum all the time when KS is attacked
sad but true
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
Full time but no work half the time-nm

Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posts from last yr said work ran out often. And they might be
v
Yes, but there is play time and there is work time. sm
You volunteer. Awesome!! As long as you are volunteering during nonwork time that is great or during time that you have scheduled to be off. Again all great!!! We all have to take off with our kids when they are sick. Did it today as I had both at home and took PTO time for it. If you do these things in this manner, no big deal, but I am talking about the ones who constantly do not showw up for work and have excuses as there are more of them than there are of people who actualy take this job seriously.
As far as retirment from the other poster.... please. I am nowhere even close but I can say the downfall of this business is NOT because it is going overseas. It is because we do not have well trained American MTs. I have been here for 18 years. I have watched it go down. It is sad but we can't change it YET!
After reading all the posts about MQ and no work,
nationals. Almost every single large national that I know of has benefits tied to production and a clause in their contract that they cannot be held accountable if there is no work. Doesn't it make it convenient for them not to have to pay insurance benefits if THEY overhire and there is consistently not enough work to go around? This is the same thing that happened at Transcend. After all, how much does it really cost the company to overhire when all they have to do is supply the computers, which are a business expense write-off anyway?
Did you not read all the posts about no work, that if
you had bills to pay this wasn't the job you would want?
I have. The company I work for now posts when
they have openings, but I was hired before they started posting. I'm going on 6 years now with this company. I have also received 2 other offers from smaller companies that don't post.
TransTech still very low on work? No posts lately.
Don't know if the grass is going to be any greener over there if there is no work, as previous posts suggest. Can anyone provide an update on that situation? Sounded pretty dire.
Are the posts below - running out of work at KS (sm)
seems lately this has been happening a lot - and I thought they did not do that at KS - any input from MT.
After seeing all of the no work posts here, I'd think they probably got a lot of angry sm
emails, calls, etc. I used to work for them and thought they were a great company, but even a couple of years ago, the work would dry up and you had to work a 24-hour day practically to get all of your lines in. I still have an email from D that told me to work extra but not write it down on my time sheet. I'm tempted sometimes to show it to the labor board and see what they have to say about it. Probably not worth my time and effort … just a funny thought sometimes. I have moved on and the more I read lately with the VR and all that, it seems that was a good thing. For those still there, I hope things turn around. Good luck.
Old posts said easy to work for, but your pay would never go over 7 or 8 cpl depending on

Look 4 posts down regarding nosedive in work at MedScribe....
I don't work there so I don't know what's going on. I just remembered the post 4 down from yours inquiring about an apparent nosedive in workload.
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
Old posts say they're nasty and run out of work often. And they don't want you earning too muc

Check thru the recent posts here that have them running out of work. nm

Old posts also say your pay is docked if client is unhappy with your work. No thanks. nm

Look at previous posts here. It's said to be a terrible place to work! nm

Posts from 2005 said it was a very "unstable" place to work for

Posts from the last 2 yrs said not a good place to work. Lots of MTs
s
Thanks. In the older posts, it looks like people were running out of work a lot...SM
Is this still the case? These posts are mostly from 2005 and 2006, so they are really old. Are the flexible with scheduling? Do they pay on time and treat their MTs well? I just want to know before I even think about applying! Thanks!
I ditto these 2 posts. Plus, on a personal/work level (sm)
All of that aside, when it comes down to doing the real work, many old and new MTs at MQ experience multiple accounts with multiple client profiles to read which cuts down on productivity. Even if you get 15 cents a line it doesn't matter if you have to waste time reading CPs and never becoming familiar with one account. JMO also.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
Old posts show they want 1200 lpd and that the work load was very uneven. nm

Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC

Posts from 2/2006 said they were running out of work. They use MTWorld software. nm

I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
Years ago posts said they were extremely picky & hard to work for. Haven't
s
I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly. I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me. I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work. I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm

Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days

I see other MT's work all the time (m)
On one of my accounts I am able to pull up old reports on a patient. I do it often if I can't understand something or have a question about something in the report I'm typing, as I can often find the info in the patient's old records, H&P for the current admission, etc. We are told to do this by the company.
If the real problem is the violation or the attitude, then they need to say that. What benefit is there in complaining about an MT's punctuation when the real issue is something totally different?
no work down time
I just wanted to point out that Diskriter very recently changed their down time policy. They no longer pay for No Work downtime. They also reduced the pay rate for down time pay due to their technical issues. (This is for a regular Diskriter employee, not a hospital employee.) The good news is that there is almost NEVER no work. That is what makes me happiest about Diskriter. Their pay is not the best, but if you stay focused, the hourly rate is still very good when you are not switching accounts constantly to try to find work. They leave you alone to get your work done, too. They don't pester you constantly.
I would definitely work a time at the new job
before making the decision to give notice at the other one. Believe me, the grass is not always greener on the other side. It will mean a lot of work in the beginning but could save you big time in the end if the job is not what you think it will be.
Same here, run out of work all the time
I am getting ready to go on a vacation but when I get back I am going to ask for more back up accounts! I am relatively new with TT, when you run out of work, do up make up the lost time? I really do not have any other time to make up for lack of work as I have another job. Just curious
They are out of work all the time.s/m
Missing over 30 hours this pay period.
