I did a search on this company on this board and got a little info.  They've got so many ads in Job Seeker's, so I'm curious as to why more people aren't mentioning them.

Gosh, they look almost scary - looks like a really HUGE corporation that will swallow the MT up in one bite.  Isn't the term squid?

Well, they responded to my resume.  I'm not sure about this one.  Maybe too good to be true?  Promises, promises?  More of the same?

I just had a very bad experience w/ RapidText Inc, of Newport Beach CA.  I'd avoid them like the plague.

I worked for those guys for two years and only had one check come late, which was during a switch in their payroll department.  I received profuse apologies for this as my check did not go to direct deposit as it was supposed to.  When I contacted them to find out what was going on, they cut a check and overnighted it to me.

These folks were great to me!  :)

Are they U.S. based and do not outsource transcription out of U.S. ?

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses.  I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted.  I needed an employee position and they hire only IC.  Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces.  They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment.  The other requires purchase of a C-phone.  They are standard 4 hospital.  You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day).  No benefits.  Direct deposit twice a month. 

I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "slow time" when typing IMEs?

TIA!
