is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.

I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
May I ask where you who get a decent cpl and benefits work?nm
nm
Can anyone provide a name of a good smaller company to work for that offers decent benefits..
I want to get away from the "nationals". I know there are smaller transcription companies out there looking for a good MT.. Hopefully someone will have some good advice for me.
fine people to work for...problematic system..sm
I can tell you that these people are a nice group and pay is reliable ..don't know much about benefits..didn't stay long enough..but they did in fact pay me their hire-on bonus even after I quit them in less than a month's time. They still use Word Perfect DOS program and drown you in paper work ..way too complicated way of working in this day in time but they supposedly are in the process of upgrading their system (???) Again, I must say the people are great...just could not deal with the unnecessary stress involved in their system.
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO. QA is very helpful and always encouraging. I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake. The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work.
I do. Very nice people. I have plenty of work sm
Pay is on time. Nobody bothers me. I have a great account and wonderful software that is Word based,but they have several accounts a couple of different platforms, so not sure what the others are like.
Future-Net as IC, although work can be low. Nice people. nm
x
Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!
.
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

Nice people, agreed; very frustrating to work for, though.
I have to agree that the people are very nice. That's about as far as goes, however. The platform is clunky (We're working on a new one has been the constant refrain for years, with no real sign of it's birth anytime soon).
To answer the original question, I'm able to average about 250 lph, even with the craptacular platform (mostly due to a few docs with regular patter lending themselves to a lot of canned text); that said, I would likely be getting 350 lph or more with similar effort elsewhere.
Back on the negative side, however, the communication there sucks. Maybe 1 in 10 e-mails to management is acknowledged, let alone answered.
Very frustrating.
Nice people but low work, and yes I have multiple accounts!! nm
nm
outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)
xx
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm
nm
No, it isn't nice. Most people do acute care, rad, or clinics. Work
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
I just stated with them. Nice people, work out of Word, and pay increases with production. nm
nm
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm
:
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
I had the same problem. Nice people and benefits,
NM
The OP is saying she has no decent work, which
obviously seems lack of work. Your post sounds more like a confessional to clear your own guilt - apples and oranges! You have oodles of work, and the OP doesn't! Get it?
Decent for PT work
I worked for them for several months. It was OK. The work was pretty difficult and I have a lot of experience with ESLs. I always got paid, but not always on time. QA is a b***h, but that was just my experience. I'd personally keep looking.
Do you know if they are decent to work for or anything about them?
Thanks
Best company to work for as an IC. Decent cpl etc...nm
nm
They are nice people, but the pay is on the low side, benefits were expensive and they overhire. nm
x
No work today again. System down..
How do you make a living like that?
Their system does work with satellite.
They are a decent company. I have been with them 1-1/2 years. Pay was late 1 time. Other than that it is direct deposit and on time. All of their accounts have some ESL. Yes, some of the ESL are horrible, but I think that can be found anywhere. They have a new line incentive program that is very nice as well.
We work on a tier system, the more
production, the more money for my FT job. My IC job I make 10 cpl.
What companies have a decent platform to work on, .
have employee status, lots of work, and minimal confusion and disorganization? Can do the big 4 for acute care.
I work for All Type. They are a decent company.
Check them out. I am an IC but if you live in certain states you can be an employee or SE. Not sure if they need anyone right now though.
I work for SoftScript w/ another crappy system
nm
I should say that this is for ER work, employee, Merit system. nm
x
Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm
x
They DON'T pay a decent wage or provide ample work.
They're sending it all to India. That's the point.
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but
nm
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Decent place to work - the owner is fair and reasonable.
I have known GG, the owner, for a long time. I worked for her as an IC and never had a problem, except for the no work syndrome, but that was about 5 years ago. Hope they are busier now.
If I had to go back and work for a company, JLG would be the place.
I am a remote employee directly for a hospital now, so no need to work for a company.
I can vouch for JLG anytime. Pay is always on time, their staff is friendly and professional, never had a problem with QA.
sad part is, those decent docs likely have no idea their work is being sent overseas. nm

Does ShortHand or SmarType work with the company DiskWriter's system?
:)
I wouldn't quit a decent company for seasonal low work volume.
I'd hang around and see what the New Year brings. I wouldn't say that if you were working for MQ, but I would for a company with a decent reputation. If it is still slow in January, I'd talk to my supervisor and find out what her take is on the situation.
