Accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, I believe, so am re-posting it here:

Anybody ever work for Northern Counties Secretarial Services in Minnesota in the 90s?  Used to be what seemed like a great company, but in the end, they did a few really good MTs dirty. 

Any idea why companies want us to pay to work for them.  Instead of getting or using our own equipment, we have to use theirs, even  though it is the same??????

Alpha is a great company.  I have worked with them for 2 years and have never had any problems with them.  They are VERY flexible with your hours, management is AWESOME and payroll is always on time.  I think you would be very happy there.

The one in LA Jolla California? 

What years? 

Is J&M Transcription a good company to work for?  Do they run out of work often?  Tell me all about them please.   Thanks

This company is based in the midwest and I was just wondering if they are a good company to work for.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks :)

The pay is gross line; however, a line is 72 characters.  Not sure if this is a good deal - I don't think so, but would like your input. 

I am used to a gross line no longer than 65 characters.

They use MedRite - how is that platform?

I am a soon to be graduate of Career Step and prior to this worked 11 years for an ophthalmologist. I am looking to do ophthalmic transcription. Is there a company that specializes in ophthalmic transcription?

Physicians take vacations.  Physicians leave the practice.  Clients switch companies.  You cannot expect an MTSO to always have work when this is not the sort of business that you can promise anything. 

This profession is sort of like take it when you get it and not when it's convenient.  Whether you have your own accounts or work for a company, this still holds true. 

There are times when I see no end, and then there are times when I can take a deep breath and a break.  It's just the nature of the business. 

Contract Transcriptionists & Freelance Transcription Services

It has been a week or so since anybody has posted anything, questions or otherwise, about Toth Transcription.  I wanted to get the message out there to anybody considering even contacting this husband and wife team, DO NOT CONTACT THEM.  If you do, you are entering at your own risk.  If you do, you better "scour" over the contract.  I am genuinely concerned and feel extremly bad for anybody that has or will fall prey to Toth Transcription. 

FACTS:  These people don't pay their MTs.  They will charge you about $100 to get set up on their system.  If they want to load PC Anwywhere or similar program on your computer, DON'T TAKE THE JOB.  You will have to constantly TRY to contact them whether it be by phone or e-mail just to get your paycheck.  Their excuses are "it must have gotten lost in the mail", "I mailed it yesterday, or I mailed it 2 days ago so you should get it any day now".  If you threaten to not turn in your work until you get paid, the husband will rip you a new %!# over the phone, and send threatening e-mails.  But, whether or not you turn in your work, you still won't get paid.  He tries his darndest to intimidate people.  I have known these people for a long time, and probably longer than most of you.  There is no communication between the husband and wife, and there will be none between them and you.

The husband files bankruptcy and uses it as an excuse not to pay his people.  He will only pay 5 cpl.  It is insane that they actually expect somebody to work for this amount of money, but then they won't pay you anyway. 

I can't stress enough that you are just asking for trouble if you go to work for them.  I have posted other messages, but have only gotten 2 reponses in my e-mail. 

Some posters said that their lawyers told them it would be a waste of time to sue them, as the legal fees would outweigh what Toth owes you.  The Toths know this, so that is why they don't care. I would pursue lawsuits anyway, just for the satisfaction of getting this so-called business shut down and preventing them from hurting other people.  They take advantage of anyone, especially newbies who are just trying to get their foot in the door. 

The husband cannot hold down a job of his own.  This is why he took control of what used to be his wife's business.  They live high on the hog, but they barely make their bills.  You are paying their bills for them.

NEWBIES: There are legitimate companies out there that hire newbies.  You have to look hard, but don't jump in with both feet without doing your research.  

If anybody has any questions about this, just post here.  I do check through the day.  If you do pursue any type of legal action, try to get as many people together as possible to do the same.  If you would rather e-mail me, just go to kahluasfight@yahoo.com. 

You will be verbally abused, e-mail or otherwise, by the husband.  

In searching the net, I read about this company and it sounded pretty good - was wondering if anyone out there works for them, likes, dislikes, general comments.  Thanks.

Has anyone here heard of Documed Medical Transcription? If so, do you know if they have insurance and what they start pay at?  Thanks for the input.

Hi guys!!  Anyone out there got any information on US Transcription?  I am wondering what kind of company it is to work for.  Any information you can provide, good or bad, would be great.

Thanks

would you mind e-mailing me? I have a few questions.

Thanks so much!
