Diskriter used to be a great company to work for
but I do not know what happened. They lost a LOT of office staff, as well as transcriptionists, and I am one of them. The management became horrible, the work was either there or not there on days, mandatory overtime, etc. I doubt they have changed. After 5 years I had to let go and move on.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
but a great post - my company gets bashed all the time too.

Others will post that work for these companies, there are some great
people that post on this board, you just have to overlook a few. Unfortunately I do not work at any of these companies, otherwise I would be glad to give you any information needed. Good luck though!
Is Diskriter a good company to work for?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company to work for...
Spheris is a terrific company to work for. They NEVER run out of work. They are extremely helpful. You use their computer set up. Direct deposit. Shifts you want. Need I say more? Oh, yes, the people there are terrific.
Ex-Spheris employee - hope to go back some day.
GREAT company to work for.
Hi, I have been an employee with them for almost one year. I have NEVER had a late pay day, it is always on time. The work is plentiful. In fact, for several months they have been BEGGING for extra help to stay in the TAT. They do have some difficult accounts, many that are ESL dictators, but once you get them - you get them - and they become like second nature to you. They have employee status if you make a certain amount of lines every two weeks or you can be IC. They are very thoughtful and nice people. I don't believe they offshore, not 100% sure though. I am happy to have found my home after two other internet company let-downs. Hope this help. But, really, you cannot go wrong with FutureNet. And, their platform is the best! Easy to work without putting in a lot of time for the demographics, etc.
Great company to work for!
I have worked for them for over six years and they are a wonderful organization to work for - very friendly, excellent benefits and pay, and flexible schedules. You are paid every two weeks on time, like clockwork. I would highly recommend them!
anyone else think this is a great company to work for?
From what i can see on the previous discussions, this is a great company to work for sounds like. Does anyone working for them right now think so?
Great company to work for. nm

great company to work for
They do not provide equipment but Dell has excellent deals going on plus financing. You can get a pedal for around $50. Line rates vary dependent upon shift plus bonus quarterly.
They are a great company to work for. sm
Pay is good and ALWAYS on time. Have been with them for 1-1/2-years and NEVER has it been late or wrong. They have heavy ESL load but for the most part they are good dictators with the exception of a few, just like anywhere else though. Their QA is okay - one or two are not that nice but for the most part QA is good. Workflow people are great! Supervisors are great! Had, months back, problems with work running out but not it is fine and has been. Overall rating: GREAT company!
Great company to work for
I've been there close to a year. Some of my acct's have a lot of ESL (but they are not bad) and some don't. Support is good. ExText is a good platform. It took me awhile to get my lines, but after a few months, I got in the groove. Works with Shorthand. Don't know their pay range. I've heard different things. They recently changed their incentive schedule, and it is a lot easier to attain. New accounts coming on board soon.
Great company to work for....
Anyone looking for a good company....apply at Diskriter they are a great company to work for.
They are a great company to work for....sm
I have been with them for about 9 months. They ALWAYS pay early or right on the day. They always answer your e-mails, IMs, etc. QA is very good. They do not dock for errors, blanks, questions sent to QA, etc. Work was slow around the holidays but other than that there is plenty of work. I would recommend them. Their platform is very easy (best I've ever used). Good luck!!
I work for a great company and NOT BOS
In my experience, I have found to type verbatim. Not all companies follow BOS guidelines.
That's a great company you work for. I
sure would take advantage of it if I had the chance. I'm terrible in trying to make macros. I keep trying, but they never work....and to think I took programming years ago and updated my skills 20 years ago, so you would think I could get the hang of it. 
Amphion is a great company to work for!
Great accounts, I have one primary that keeps me busy. The people are great to work with.
Great company and I hear that work will
soon be picking up. I was hired recently, too, and I am willing to wait on some more work just to have the nice people to work for. Also, they pay half of the social security tax, not half of your taxes. But compared to IC deductions, that is a big help.
Oh wow what a great company TT sonds like to work for
Well thats 1 pt for TT, early deposits. What else ya got? Good line counts? Prompt response from management answering all your questions to your satisfaction? Hurry now I need to make a decision soon!
8 cpl for clinic work is great. What company
xx
Softscript is a great company to work for! sm
I have been there a good while. Pay is on time. I have plenty of work except through Christmas/New Years. It was low then. Some people have negative to say about the company, others have positive. You are better off judging for yourself really. Our managers have not changed since last June, so don't know about the 'new management' as they have all been in place since then and since then I have noted nothing but positives within the company. Hope this helps and no, I do not want any flames just because I happen to like Softscript.
It's a great company with plenty of work!
Pick your own schedule; they'll match current pay rate, tons of work, good-to-great money; nice people. Stuff posted on here is old and from dirtbags who couldn't hack it there!
WMX is a great company to work for. Made
nm
Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
FC is a great company, very stable, lots of work. sm
The platform is simple and easy to use. You have a choice of transcribing in Word or WP5.1. My only negative is the sound quality. QA is very helpful and responsive. The people are very, very nice. I'm a bit of a perfectionist but still manage to rack up the lines pretty well. Pay is direct deposit, never late, many times early. On a scale of 1-10, I give this company a 9.
I recommend this company to seasoned MTs.
EMTS Great company steady work
Getting new work and accounts are sending more and more work. Great people to work with.
I've never clocked in/out, great company to work for.

Small but growing company, great to work for
Really sharp owner, great QA.
I think we must work for the same company. I find it always interesting how they say how great
the workload looks and people are really working hard when the fact is they have overhired and that is why there is no work. Must be DSG right. They are hiring right now. Cant imagine what they are hiring for. Hopefully not the acounts that are already out of work all the time. I wonder what kind of turnover rate they have there.
First Choice Medical is a great company to work for, and I think they are hiring too.
I have been there for over 4 years now. They use WP51 too if you want. Good luck to you.
The same here! I agree. They are a great company but the lack of work drove me away.
Thanks for posting that...Just goes to show that Keystrokes is a great company and will work with yo
I hope it works out for you and you start feeling better soon...
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

Diskriter is Great
I have to strongly disagree with this statement. Diskriter has an incredible tech support/system (at least for the past 2 years), very nice people, help desk responds in less than a minute - problems fixed less than 5 minutes - Yes there are ESL dictators - isn't that our job!!! They pay downtime when accounts are running low - my pay has been on the money everytime for the past two years. Diskriter is by far one of the best companies. If you cannot make it there, it may be difficult to make it anywhere. There are many accounts to do - which just makes you a better transcriptionist. Just my opinion..
Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm
It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage. Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.
Good luck!
See above post on DiskRiter. nm

to the above post about exams for Diskriter - sm
I do not work for Diskriter, however, I can say with complete accuracy (I have a relative that works as a private criminal investigator for large and small corporations) that the reason that a lot of companies (not necessarily just transcription companies, in particular,) that have at home or offsite employees are requesting a physical and drug screen and background check is because:
a) background check is necessary in some cases because the potential employee will have access to SSN#, credit info, addresses, DOB, etc on many many people.
b) physical and drug screens are necessary because the company may be partly footing the cost for benefits, health insurance, life insurance, etc. Maybe they do not want to pay for drug rehabs (think about it)
c) drug screens - let's face it, some of these companies are sending equipment, vital information on people in the US, paying for travel for employment, etc (i.e. carrying drugs on planes, stealing ID for credit card info, stealing and reselling computers and equipment that was shipped to the potential employee, etc)
You would be surprised the things I was told about, including arrests for identity theft!! In the last two years, a TON of arrests have been made by investigators and agencies on people working at home!! Police are making drug arrests at homes and low and behold, some of the arrests are people that work at home doing a "day job" while dealing out of their house. Nice little sideline income, don't ya think.
So think about this - if a company is going to pay for a physical and drug screen for you to be employed with them, don't be offended by it. They are protecting themselves and their clients from potential identity theft, druggies, and thieves.
I'm sure I will be slammed for this post, but I know what I am talking about.
You could easily be the victim of identity theft and guess where the source could potentially come from? Transcriptionists. Think about it - we have access to some hospital databases that require us to put in patient information from the patient database, that means addresses, ID#, etc.
I PERSONALLY knew of a transcriptionist from NYC that could barely function more than 2 hours a day because she spent the rest of her day stoned out of her mind! Did you read the thread about traveling transcriptionists and drug screening? Do you want somebody stoned or high or meth'd up typing your hospital records?
AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.

Great post. ....sm
Very much appreciated after all the negativity. 
Great post!
I post my opinions on companies when people ask, but always try to remind them that that is just my experience, might not be the same for everyone.
Thank you for posting this. It was well said!
Great post!
They should state this upfront- and not wait to be called. This years' winner in a field of ___ contenders, is ___
Great post. nm

Your post is GREAT
I would only add that perhaps new MTs be allowed to mentor with a seasoned MT. I think it would be difficult for them to get in a hospital or clinic setting.
Great post
My biggest complaint is an MTSO that will attempt to obtain cooperation from bad dictators. Too many companies think that they'll lose an account if they ask for cooperation/consideration, but this work should be viewed as a team effort. Offer your clients a better rate for clean dictation. I'd take a slightly lower rate of pay to keep from pulling my hair out over dictators from _ _ _ _. :)
