If you have any Current experience or info about Wordzxpressed please post it. I can't find anything more current than some others asking about the company in the last couple of months, but with no replies or info from anyone. I'm considering a position with them and could certainly use some input about others' experiences. Thanks!!!

WORDZXPRESSED - any current info
Does anyone have any current info on this company? I looked in the archives and only found posts from 2005.
Thanks
WordZxpressed out of GA, anyone with any current information as far as platform, pay, benefits etc..
Thanks..
Current information on WordZXpressed, how they are to work for, accounts, platform etc.. anyone??
Thanks for any input you may have.
Not current experience but...
I worked very briefly about four years ago and I have one word to describe them.... ESL!!! Make sure you ask the % of ESL if you are concerned at all about being able to make any money. I think the pay was average but the account I was on I swear had to be at least 90% ESL. Some were not too bad but others just left me so frustrated that I quit. Best wishes.
Current Chronicle MT's experience?
applying again. Anyone currently working there with comments? Is there enough work now? Same management? Comments good and bad appreciated. Thanks.
Yikes..is your experience there current?
I'm leaving a job like that now so chances are that I do not want to go into another situation like that. Life's too short!!!
Anyone have any current experience with MedTrans Unlimited? sm
I checked the archives and it sounded like the pay was fairly good, but the platform was cumbersome, and that you had to wait a long time to be paid. I was just wondering if that is still the case.
Thanks!
Anyone had any current experience with Milner or Breitner? I am most concerned sm
about the usual things, pay on time (and a decent wage), user-friendly platform, etc.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm

Is there anyone out there who currently works for this company? I am interested in finding out what I can about them. Thanks.
WordZXpressed
I once went most of the way through their hiring process but decided not to go with them as it was only 7 cpl. Nice people though. They are out of Atlanta, Georgia
WordZXpressed
Thanks for the input.
WordZXpressed
I have read a bit of info on this company on the message boards, but does anyone have any recent info on this company? Do they pay for spaces? Do they hire part time? Much appreciated!

Anything on this company??
Anyone know anything about WordZXpressed?
Anything; good, bad or ugly? Thanks.
Wordzxpressed
Only thing I can add is that I never heard back from them and I have 12+ years experience.
WordzXpressed
Just some information to pass on. Training pay you dont get paid, and the trainer is arrogant and pushy, makes you not want to work. You have to send the foot pedal back that they sent you that costs 50.00 to send back. Just some information to think about.

Anyone working for Wordzxpressed and using their line counting program? Curious on other's results....daily and pay perior results.

;=)
Golden Isles or WordZxpressed need input please
Any and all input on these two companies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Is anyone else having problems running out of work at Wordzxpressed besides me?
Anyone know anything about Wordzxpressed? Perhaps I flunked archive searching, sm
but I cannot seem to find anything recent about them. I hear so many horror stories about so many companies, it is hard to know who are the good guys and who are the bad.
Thanks.
Here, here. Exactly my experience also, even down to the 10 year work experience. nm

Experience versus not as much experience
--same job should equal same pay?...Come back and talk to me in 20 years...
For the most part, old school MTs have a ton more to offer than a newbie, by virtue of the amount that they know. Most old school MTs can do just about any kind of report, because they learned the old way, they used books--Dorland's was a bible--not software and spellcheck, they worked in house, in the environment, they understand things that a new person who has only worked online with their word books, shorthand, macros and software just cant understand.. Why things are done in a certain way... Why it is so important that certain documents are treated a certain way. Why some reports are stat versus others. What you might flag for the hospital and why... When you think you know everything, esp as a newbie, you are doomed my friend.
Also, cont education is something that most old school MTs understand is a benefit for them and a gift to themselves...part of their commitment to themselves and their own education, not a commitment to being a certified MT, it is a personal thing, a standard.
If you don't understand that, I don't know what else to tell you.
Sure newbies can transcribe, it isn't rocket science, but they know what they know, if you know what I mean..(and that's about all they know) if they don't care to continue their education once they are out of MT school.
There's a little more to it than what you have stated here. If you consider yourself an MT machine.. you will burn out sooner than you think.
Current DSG'r
I have been with DSG for a little over 2 years now and have been very happy with them! I have not always been happy with my performance, but they have always been there to answer my questions, to have work for me, and to pay me ALWAYS ON TIME! I would recommend working at DSG to anyone. Now that does not mean everyone will find a perfect fit, but I have worked with a lot of other companies over the years and certainly hope that I will be retiring with DSG many years down the road!!
Current DSG'r
I have been with them for almost 2 years. I have not ran into the problems posted here. I have been on one account, and at my request put on another. They do not move me from account to account. I have never had problems with sound. Yes there is ESL doctors. Yes there are different account specs. The management team, I have found have been helpful. Pay is always on time. Any concerns I have ever had management has addressed. Work is there, but like with this field there are slow times. I have worked for other national companies and DSG is among the better companies. No company is perfect, just like no MT is perfect. You take the good with the bad.
current mt
They are great to work for....no problems at all...they pay for headers and footers so the line count to me is about the same, regarding spaces versus no spaces. I have been with them for 5+ years. If you want to stay with a company and not move from company to company, Phoenix MedCom is the company for you.
Current PMC MTs....
How are the dictators at Phoenix MedCom, particularly the ortho docs?
Thanks :)
Something current
from someone that actually works for them if possible. I've read all the archives about them, but need to know if they've changed like they say they have. Thanks.
Current OSi MT
I have been with the company for 90 days. I love it. I do not understand the negative posts about the recruiters. Mine was great. Very informative, friendly. The company is great. There is work, I absolutely love the account I am on. I only have 2 years experience and I make more than 7 cpl. Maybe they pay base on the account. I am not sure. Give them a try. I am on the ExText platform and I love it.
Their current ad says 8 cpl
to start, and past ads have even stated an increase at particular intervals. (I believe 90 days being the first, but do not recall for certain, and do not know what the increases amount to or how many there are.) When I was there, one of the owners sent an e-mail to everyone once (when she was upset about MTs being asked to cover others' vacation, etc.), and in it stated that, although their MTs are all subcontractors, they have always tried to offer rate increases, even bonuses to add a more personal touch to the IC status, which we all know most do not seem to do these days.
I found them to be very nice people for the most part, but have read here before that the owner is a little quirky, which I also found to be true in my experience, but was unable to draw out of the poster why he/she thought that, and my story is far too long to post here.
They do offer direct deposit, which you must pay the cost of if you want to enroll, but it is minimal. They do pay on time, every time, and in the information provided to newly hired ICs it states that they are not dependent on being paid by the clients to be able to pay their ICs/employees.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
Anyone like their current job? If so..sm
I'm in desperate need of a new job. I hate the place I work now, and it's getting progressively worse. Instead of asking about particular companies, can anyone just tell me if they like their current company and what it is, please? I need to change jobs as quick as I can, and I don't want to waste a ton of time taking a lot of lengthy tests only to find out the company is no good (which is what happened to me this last time).
I know all companies have their pros/cons, but anyone have a job where there are more pros than cons? I would so appreciate any suggestions anyone can give me as long as it is not Cymed/SPI  because that's where I want to leave. Any of the pros/cons on your company would be also appreciated. Thanks again!
MDI FL would like current
info - all searches bring up stuff from 2005. Anyone willing to comment? Especially interested in benefits -- ins., etc.
If you can do it, keep your current job, get more MT sm
education, stock up on the appropriate MT references (don't rely solely on Google, it's what is bringing MT quality down to where MTSOs don't want to pay much anymore), and get some on-the-job experience. We were paid more in the past because the MTSO's KNEW we were investing in books, required us to have these reference materials, and compensated us accordingly. Now, they know the newer MTs aren't bothering to spend money on books so why should they pay for that? And if USA quality is lousy anyway, why not offshore and get the same quality for less money? We're our own worst enemy. You'd never see a carpenter without a hammer, and MT is resource/research dependent.
(Watch the flames now.)
I wish you luck. I think you'll do well, but keep your security intact while you get some experience under your belt.
..NM up there...Does C and C have a current ad up somewhere?
s
as current MDI'r
Your post kind of bothers me. If you are a new hire, you should have looked into this company before you hired on, and then, having taken that step, proceed with a degree of confidence in your decision. Personally, now I am working my days off as there is so much work to do. Yes, there will be times my accounts have a lull for several hours, but usually when one is low, I have plenty on other backup accts. Since you've already taken the leap as a new hire -- why not just see how it goes for you -- keep your liaison up-to-date on your thoughts/concerns/needs and see if the company is a good fit for you. As for me, an oldie MT, i've never had a better place to work!!
What about current MTs who..sm
don't have work on their regular 8-hour shift and then told they have to make their lines later and mostly into weekends?
Current OSi MT
I've been with them quite a while. Some accounts do have plenty of work. Other accounts do not. It really depends on what you are placed on, like anywhere else I guess. There does seem to be a revolving door with the coordinators sometimes. Some have been around forever, others stay for a short bit and are gone.
Pay is always on time, without fail, so that is nice. If you are full time and become eligible 401K, they have a good 401K match, better than many other companies.
Line counts. That can be an issue. Line counts are checked in different ways depending on the account, and after having worked on many accounts, I can say that some have a percentage taken right off the top and others are closer to accurate. For example, if you check your characters extended in Word and divide by 65 and get your line count, and then compare that to what OSi says your line count is, some accounts are right on while others are about 10% less, at least of the accounts I have worked on.
They definitely offshore, more than the big one that brought it all to light a few years ago. Their new investors from a year or two ago have interests in India, and some things have changed at OSi since then. I'm sure more changes are to come.
Current TT MTs
Just curious for your opinions, are you planning on sticking it out with TT or are you actively looking for a new place to work? I have a job offer with another company and I'm stressing about what to do. TT was supposed to be one of the best places to work for an MT, and I was excited when I got hired there. I hate to jump ship if things are going to get better. Just wanted to hear what everyone else had to say.
current mt at MTS
I am a current MT at MTs and have been there for about 2 months. I would not suggest it for anyone either. The only reason I am there and typing my fingers to the bone is because I have to have a paycheck. I am currently looking for a better position. Meditech and fusion STINK. Pay by the minute DOES NOT come close to cpl pay. The dictators stink also. MTS expects you to fill in and look up all kind of work that you do not get paid for, which again, STINKS. I would really like other MTS IC's to post here. As soon as possible, I will be out of there.
Why not ask current employees if they
can type on ALL the platforms, or if they would be willing to train on them before placing an ad? Very typical for MDI. I'm sure a lot of MTs ask for more work, given account information only to find there is no work on there as well! This company just never ceases to amaze me!
Don't have current ins. info (sm)
because I don't have to use it, but the line requirement is 12,000 per pay period for full-time employee status.
