Nope, but on their site it says they're only hiring coders and MT supes right now. nm

they have a couple of people in the office that couldn't tell if you -
it was day or night or their hand from a foot - real idiots - yet, if you work there, they will be supervising you. Best of luck.
People in the office then were not computer savvy and there were

I find it extremely odd how people from the same office seem to have such different stories. How do
you explain that. I hear many people complaining about work at MQ and Buffalo and having many different accounts so I do think you are damage control. Sorry.
I'd hate to work in an office with you people. Classic example of why I like ..sm
working at home by myself. Kids in school, hubby at work, and most of all no hen fights in the office. I don't peruse these boards often, but when I do it never ceases to amaze me that some have so much time on their hands to bicker here.
Oh, Transtech wouldn't be able to bring all those people into the office
IF they weren't paying us MT's one-half or more for doing ASR work. It's P:USH, PUSH, PUSH to do ASR.
Why do you think they want so much ASR -- money in their pockets -- definitely not in the MT's pockets.
We had a ton of people in our office quit because of the low line count on DQS when switched from
another DOS platform to DQS. Same account, same doctors LESS lines.
My husband and his brother have a business with a small office that has 12 people in it.
I do the books for them. The electric bill is over $4000 every month. The lease is $5200. The phones are $3200. The list goes on and on with overhead, not including payroll, totally over $20,000 per month.
I respect that the company I work for has overhead and am grateful that THEY have to deal with it, not me. Otherwise, I would have started on my own.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Right on! Too bad more supes and owners don't - (sm)
check out this website and see what the world of MT is REALLY like. Most of 'em are too busy shopping for that new Lexus or other expensive bauble to know or even care what life is like for the folks that have to work under them. It's kind of funny, where I used to work they had a very hard time attracting new hires, and even retaining the old pros they already had! (Word DOES get out, doesn't it?) Especially now that we have amazing networking & communication tools like the Internet and MT Stars. If I were a manager in charge of MTs, you better believe that I would care how they viewed their jobs, and how my organization looked to others, and I would be reading the med. transcription websites. I now work for a company that you never see discussed in a derrogatory manner on this board, and in fact that had a lot to do with why I chose to work for them, rather than the many companies you read about in here. So MT managers, start treating your employees like the money-makers they are, instead of like dirt, and watch your companies (and your profits) grow.
Some supes/accounts better than what I had
There are a few at Spheris who claim to have good accounts and good supes, but that was not my experience. The accounts disappeared as fast as I could crosstrain on them. My supe blew me off 75% of the time, and when she did answer it was only part of an issue that got addressed. In fact, the only time she had time for me was when I gave notice, but only to assure me I could come back within 30 days. I found it real interesting my supe had a secretary AND a back up secretary, and yet nobody had time to answer simple questions (yet they always had time to call and beg me to come in on my day off when they were in a pinch). Funny too how my supe had EVERY holiday off, herself. At the job I'm at now, my supe always answers me, and without a huge backup staff underneath her, either. That earns my respect and trust.
Diskriter MT's, how is communication with supes
nm
Not always an option; my supes don't want calls at either of my MTSOs. nm
nm
A lot of OT on my acct, supes are good, pay on time.
nm
And even then it's luck of the draw most times as far as acct, supes, etc.

The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state. The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit. The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

Spheris supes/QA are good, insurance not good; they offshore
nm
Anyone work at Diskriter, who can tell me how it's like, pay, work load, supes, etc. Thanks
 nm
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Which office?
/
been through three office changes in the last 10
Went from 7 cents a line to now 9.5 cpl, on this current account going on three years, the one before that, five years, and the one before that two. My opinion, i'm a good MT and they treat me as such. Do you work your schedule? Do you do PLUS lines while maintaining quality? Are you up their butt constantly asking for raises? Take tons of time off? They are weeding out the awful MTs by starving them of work!!!
Which office is this.
:
Are you an MT in the office currently
I do not know which office you are from; if you are hearing rumblings,it is probably true. Many offices are closing and I do not know why. I was told my office was closing because there was no need for it?? It closed this September. Is your office being transferred to another region?
I am sure you will keep your position but at what cost I do not know. I am still waiting for the PACKET to come and I am nervous about that myself.
You are not alone. We are all feeling this re-structuring and in my opinion things do not look good.
Try not to let it get to you too much. MQ is not worth it.
I have been upset for 3 months now and will be making a big decision on what to do in the next few weeks.
Hope things work out for you.
what office are you with? nm

I sent one to the office, too. nm

TT office help
I have had plenty of work too. I guess it depends what accounts you are on. As far as office help, I always get a prompt response to any question or need I have. Why would it matter how much office work they have?
TT office help
I mean why would it matter how much office help they have, duh!
They also have an office in ....sm
southwestern Indiana, but when you call that office you speak to an Indian male. Go figure.
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same. In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that. My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours. I have never not received a pay check on time. I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple. Doesn't mean they're all that way!
MQ Dallas Office
Actually, the work is not difficult. I'm one of the highest leveled MT's at Spheris (back again) and when I was with MQ I started off on one of the most difficult accounts in the SW region. I found it actually to be very easy. But, to each their own. Its just my opinion. Being an IC person, you may not have as much to say about all the communication (or should I say lack there of) from that office. You hardly ever get updates (especially if you are use to seeing them) and in order to find out if there is OT available, it's like pulling teeth to find out. Payroll in that office is horrendous. You email for a question regarding Payroll and it will take them a good 2 weeks to answer. You call and you almost always get the voicemail, which also takes them 2 weeks to get back to you. You leave a message with someone and they always says they'll get right back to you, but low and behold they never do!! The supers aren't that bad, but the higher ups are the problem down there! I heard a few of the other region were wonderful to work for, just wish I had been given one of those regions to work in and I might have been a pretty happy camper!! Good luck and hope all goes well for you.
Me too .. it is with the SW/Dallas office ?? NM

Warminster PA MQ office sm
Can anyone tell me anything about this office? I am still debating on whether to turn in paperwork or not.
Cannot recommend this office at all!
I have been there for a long time, and it just gets worse. They have lost so many accounts that I seem to constantly be learning something new, and I do acute care, any specialty. No money to be made this way. In addition, the office personnel have changed so much that I don't even know who to call with certain matters. It is beyond frustrating!
The only high point has been the excellent computer room staff, but I figure they will probably all be let go in favor of calling 1-800-DICTATE or whatever.
If you have other options, I suggest exercising them! I can E-mail you if you need more info.
MQ Monrovia office sm
With all the MQ horror stories I see on this board, the Monrovia office MTs always seem happy. I don't understand. It's the same company, so why such a difference? Don't all offices all have to adhere to the same company guidelines? It almost sounds like each MQ office is a completely different company. If I apply for a position at MQ, what factors determine which office I'll be assigned to? Or is it just pot luck? I don't get it. 
Ohio MQ office
 Welcome aboard. I've been with them for 10 yrs, now on DocQscribe, love it, never ever out of work...we need the help desperately
