They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible. You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines. The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst. I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice. I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience. The rules change constantly. QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning. I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed. Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon. I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady. I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work. It's sure not the case. Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?
Don't do it. Pay is low. They overhire and work is low constantly.

That is why I am looking now for a second job. The place I work for constantly
runs us out of work and of course it is because things are slow but the fact is they overhired so they dont have to worry about TAT and be bothered with it. We dont count I guess.
Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Forget it. We're constantly running out of work now. sm
Some accounts have work, many really slim.
they are constantly out of work. Will show 40 jobs and a minute later none.

Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

After about a 2-day period of more work, back to running out constantly.
Maybe they should streamline, get rid of some dead weight, but mostly they should STOP OVERHIRING as they have constantly done in the years I have been there.
This is NOT a seasonal slowdown. They treat us like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.
outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)

I am working to support myself so running out of work constantly, is not an option.
I realize there are slow times, but a lot of places offer backup accounts. Why put all of your eggs in one basket. I'd starve.
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
That runs in cycles
Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource. After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house. After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..
It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex. So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL

Platform runs too slow for my expander
Spell checker you have to provide. Management - I experienced two good team leads, neither of whom are there anymore, other than that, not impressed. Have had situations where what I earned did not match what I was paid. Last team lead I had had a problem with being rude and expecting everone to drop their previously scheduled lives for her, while she was virtually unreachable to us otherwise. They do something every year and can a bunch of editors or MTs, bizarre yearly ritual. Perhaps things will be different now, perhaps not. Good luck either way!
Anyone know the gal who runs Professional Dictation in Alpharetta GA?
I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago. She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing. It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....
Another law school graduate who studied law through CSI re-runs...

Are we all from the same office. I am from Amherst and they run such a tight TAT time anything runs
us out of work even a doctor coughing a few extra times and we are out of work.
RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT
Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
i couldn't take it and the crew that runs it? forgetaboutit. double horrid.
sorry you got screwed... go far far away from them. they dont' deserve you
I Don't know why you constantly
get on her and bash Axolotl. You must have some sort of personal grudge.
They are constantly hiring. They also use a
company called Transcription Matchmaker to help with hiring, so while they may not be advertising themselves, they are still hiring. I don't think they are still offering the sign-on bonus, but if they are you need to read the fine print. The majority of the companies that offer sign-on bonuses only pay a percentage over a years' time - so in the long run a decent line rate is better than a sign-on bonus and an average line rate.
OMG you crack me up constantly
Thanks for the laugh!
i am constantly amazed
at how MW can make such a good impression on new employees, but then they are good at doing that. you have not worked for these people long enough to see how they really are, obviously!
Please tell me where I have constantly bashed
Axolotl. Do you have me confused with someone else?
Exactly what I was thinking....constantly on

I left after one month. I was constantly
switched between accounts (three times on one Saturday because there was no work). The pay scale is convoluted and low. The staff was nice. Interestingly, I learned that my supervisor quit a few weeks later.
That happened to me constantly at Spheris
;
Constantly for the past month or more!!!!!
Those who have work probably work other than a day shift and M-F. There are definitely too MT's on day shift and weekdays. I hate working weekends and nights, too, but sometimes that is when the work is there at Transtech.
This profession is just going down, down, down hill . . .
They called constantly on my days off
Work volumes were so low last year they knew we were desperate - so they called at all hours summoning us for an hour here or there, totally ruined the possibility of having a life. I was full time and was working 7 days a week for less than 30 hours, they took all my PTO to round out my paychecks until it was gone, then expected me to sit by the phone and go bankrupt. Supe was not surprised when I bailed, after 2 months of blowing sunshine about how it would get better soon and it only got worse.
They overhire constantly, worse when they get a new
account. There are some accounts that have tons of work and are frequently on OT, but then there are lots of accounts that run out of work several times a day. Definitely ask for another account, but it might take you several accounts to get your lines and then you've got all those different account specifcis to deal with.
I agree, who wants to constantly nit-pick with the QA, tit-for-tat!...
'The less contact one has with the QA person the better, believe me, stay 'invisible' as much as you can.
They are constantly advertising because they are GROWING! They have brought on
two new accounts that I know just since Christmastime and more to come.
I do the same. I am constantly looking at the screen while listening and transcribing. sm
I can't even imagine having to go over every single word again. It is easy to proof while you transcribe. If there was something particularly difficult or troubling, I would go over that portion again, but never the entire thing.
I check the line counts constantly.-sm
Believe it or not, they're accurate. I have a program that counts these. I wouldn't work for anybody any other way.
Good point - companies that constantly run ads
