questions for those working for Probity. sm

I read the other post but was wondering if some of you who responded to that or anyone else could answer a few more things if you had time.


i tested with them yesterday and was wondering if the transcription portion of the test is anything like the dictators really are; are there lots and lots of ESLs??  that was a hard test.  i don't mind some ESLs but not 90% ESLs as i gotta make income too. 


how do you like the medremote and is it user friendly, hard/easy to get line counts?  i haven't heard of it before so i am curious.  i hate changing jobs!!!!!  also, can you use Instant Text with it?


i really liked the incentive portion as i worked one company with that before and it kinda pushed me more to hit the top of the ladder to get more pay.  i didn't quit til my goal for that day was hit so i made more $ in the long run. 


glad to hear some positives and happy MTs there.  TYIA!!!!


probity? how are they about working with schedules, etc.? nm

Would like to hear from anyone currently working at TTS sm
The archives have very conflicting information. Some like it, some say they were not paid, and others just say run with no explanation for their comments. Just wondering what current employees are feeling about this company? Staying? Going? Are they worth considering? If so, just how low is the pay?

I realize no company is right for every individual. I have had a bad experience with at least one of the companies always raved about here. It just wasn't a good fit for me. I just can't help to wonder if some people don't just like to stir the pot at times.
Anyone working on BeyondTXT with MDI-FL? Would like to hear from you
How do you like your accounts, are you running out of work or is there plenty.  Do you like the BeyondTXT as a transcription platform, etc.
I hear ya! When I first started working at home...sm
I felt pressured to the max, but what I finally did was to put my bills in date-due order and placed them where I could see them at all times while working. It sounds silly, but it caused me to discipline myself like I had never done before - and after awhile, it became habit to work as if I were in house and actually helped me to increase my income! It is really nice not to deal with the office politics and a supervisor at the next desk, too! Good luck to you!
Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't.

These people are unprofessional.  Don't waste your time there either.


Probity
Don't waste your time. They are so unprofessional, it's not even funny.
Probity
They're very unprofessional people, don't bother with them.  They have terrible communication within the company. 
Any Probity MTs here
I would greatly appreciate any info on this company.

Thanks.
Probity
The problem with being careful what you say is true, but if you have to be SO careful, pretty soon there will be no one posting as everyone will be SO PARANOID ABOUT POSTING. Sounds like a little common sense and moderation is in dire need here. All she did is ask about a company, and yes, I agree, to say they suck is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. If you are going to post, at least be professional, courteous, and use common sense. What's so hard about that.
RE: Probity
Sounds like you will get your fair share of ESLs, as with any company, I can't say from experience yet. They do not supply equipment, they will provide the software that they use to do dictation. Health insurance is BC/BS, good if you only have to cover yourself, can get pricey to cover family, dental is a good plan, $15 per pay. I would definitely check them out. I believe editors are paid hourly, not sure how much though because this is not my field.
Any Probity MTs out there? sm
Do you have steady work?  Easy/difficult to make lines?  Thanks much
Probity
Thanks, I needed that!
Probity

99% ESLs, forget them!


Probity
I work for Probity and have been there almost a year.  I have absolutely no complaints.  They are very honest and there is always plenty of work.  No problems with pay checks or getting answers to questions......I give them an A++ and trust me I have been with a few companies in the past 18 years that I would not give an F to.....
Probity
I dont know anything about Medquest, but I would not recommend Probity.  Lots of promises, but do not come through.
Probity
Heavy ESLs at Probity and messed up software. I cannot recommend Probity.
Probity

I am happy employee at Probity...have never ever had any problems!


Probity
I have been with them for over a year and I have nothing but good things to say about them.  The owner is a very fair employer.  SHow me a company that does not have it's fair share of ESL.....I give Probity a AAA+++
Probity
Can anyone tell me if Probity is a good company to work for.  This will be the first company that I will work for, since being an IC with my own accounts for 20 years.  Otherwise, any suggestions?
Probity?
Any info on this company?
Probity
Did you have to buy an Infinity foot pedal for Probity?  I understood from talking to somebody there that they use this kind of foot pedal.  I have a wav pedal and would hate to buy another one if it's as bad as the posts I just read. 
Probity
Does anyone currently work for Probity?  How is it?
Probity
Does anyone have any information about Probity?
Probity
depends on what account you are on...been on a few accounts; some bad, some good.
Probity
Any recent information on Probity?  Easy to get lines, pay, platform, etc?
Probity MT

Does anyone have any information on Probity MT or has anyone worked for them?


Thanks


MQ or Probity
I have no experience whatever with Probity, but lemme tell ya, I would clean toilets before I would work for MQ again.
Probity
Any info on this company?  Would much appreciate the input. 
Probity?
Can anyone give me any info on this company at all...good, bad or indifferent?  Thank you! 
Probity - thank you
Thanks for taking the time to respond and for your information, appreciate it.  :-)

I'm an employee.  When they made me the offer, they phrased it as we'd like to offer you a position, working Wednesday through Sunday from 7:00 pm to 3:30 a.m.  That's eastern time and I'm in the Mountain time zone, so it works for me and my body clock.  I don't know if they have IC status.  I don't think they do. I get the impression they like a little bit more control that they can only get with employees.  They want specific shifts filled and they want you to be accountable for it. So, the other part of that, is no, I do not believe you could set your own hours.


They started me at 8.75 cpl.  It's good for me - I've only been doing this for about 2 years.   Their platform is called Integra, sometimes I think it's referred to as IType.  It's pretty decent - based on Word.  We do have to format documents, which takes a little bit of getting used to, but it only adds a second or two to the process for me now.  The sound files are not the greatest quality.  The doctors use the telephone and call in to a main number for the recording.  Some of the sound quality is really bad and I have a hard time figuring out what they're saying.  That's this account, though.  They could be hiring specifically for another account that has a different way of recording things.


I've had worse recordings and I've had better recordings so overall I can't complain too much.  


If they're hiring, I'd say definitely go for it.  It's a pretty decent place to be employed.


Probity
Have checked the archives already, but I would appreciate any comments from those who work/worked for Probity.  Thanks!
Probity
Beware!  I was working for Probity part-time at night, but they are currently training me on another account that they are receiving.  Just as the other poster said, you spell out everything and things really do get confusing.  I am in the process of looking elsewhere because I am so fed up with trying to remember everything even though I have read through the specs a million times already.  They keep coming back saying I have errors, but its things that are easy to confuse!  I give up!  If you have the right experience, you may do well there.  You can give it a try.  Its really the only way you will know how you will do.
Probity
Another thing that I DO NOT like is the platform. IntegraEHR. There is an upgrade coming and I hope it helps. I think line counts would be higher if it wasn't for this platform. Easy enough to learn, but slow and too much time on the mouse.
probity
Does anyone know about Probity? I tested great with them and they said it was not up to par.
Probity

I used to work for Probity, but soon realized that they are too customer-specific for their own good.  They have several different hospitals all around the US and they have specifics that are different for each and every one of them.  Too much stuff to remember and I just could never do anything just right.  On the upper hand, their staff are nice and do try to work with you.  The pay is not what it should be.  I would be on for four hours and could not make over 40 bucks a night.  To me, it was not worth it.  Also, they use Integra and it is very, very slow.  You just cant make the lines on it like you could on any other platform.  Their pay is always on time and they give the option of direct deposit, which was nice.  No one could fault you for trying, because that is really they only way you will know if you can or not.  Any place will have its good and bad things, I just could not deal with the hassle of remembering specifics and having to stop and look at my papers to make sure everything was done.  It takes a lot of time and cuts your lines.  Good luck.

A few days ago, the company I work for (Probity) without warning fired the best QA/trainer I ever worked with. Probity supposedly means integrity. I am now looking.

Probity
Checked archives and could not find a recent post.  Is Probity a decent company to work for?  Thanks 
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
Probity..questions..
Does this co. allow satellite and/or dialup? Would like to hear
from anyone who has worked for this co....Thanks.
Any info on Probity?
What type of platform, pay issues, etc.  Thanks in advance.
