In Reply to: anyone out there ever heard of Dictation Services Group (DSG)? - curious
of my biggest complaints, but it is usually not for long, just enough to upset the routine. Production incentive a plus. Sound quality depends on the account.

Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
not all management is gone - I still talk to occasionally - sm
talk to one Transcriptionist that is working for them, but getting ready to leave, and some of the management is still there, based on things she has told me.
great place to work at - friendly QA - pay always on time

Running out of work all the time
They send too much of it out of the US, it needs a lot of editing, but they gobble up the jobs and we are left with none.... run out a lot..... Clarity platform
Can someone tell me if the MQ offices are still running out of work all the time or what is
happening with that please.
They were running an ad recently for help. Does this go on all the time with no work there. How
are the accounts to do if they are overflow from MQ. Not sure I would care for a job like that.
Well here we go running out of work at Amherst again. Does this go on all the time at this office as
I just started there. How many accounts do you need to have work there. This whole thing with MQ is ridiculous and they keep hiring. Must be getting ready for something.
TTS Co has an ad running. Anyone know if they are good to work for? nm
Good or bad?
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.
Precyse rate was good but they were always running out of work.

Seems to be good and bad in the archives. Rude & running out of work to very professional, great

DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, recent management changes, email me if you want
to ask specific questions and I'll try to answer them.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Platform is user friendly. P ay is good. sm
The accounts are good for experienced MTs.
I can't say I produce more on this particular platform, but it is MT friendly. I average approximately 300 lines an hour. That is not my best, as I have done 400 lines an hour on a different platform. It all depends on the dictators.
Good luck to you. If you need flexibility, a decent line rate and don't mind being SE without benefits - go for it.
I prefer SE or IC status, so it suits me just fine.
I don't think now is a good time to look for work anywhere
over the holidays. On the other hand, people tend to get really ill over the holidays, and unfortunately, mortality rate goes up. It's just the docs are busy, and of course have their minds on their families too and the time they are taking off from work.
In 27 years of transcribing this has always proven true. It may get slow now, after the docs get the notices from medical records they are soon out of compliance, there will be a flurry of reports just about to be over a month old. So please hang in there. And if you need extra money there is always the ability to help in retail. Especially the chains which will be having big sales. They need extra help. Good luck to you!
Sometimes it does take time to get up and running, however....
if your emails have not been answered by two different departments, (training and HR)I would be concerned. IMO, it just isn't very professional to leave someone hanging in limbo. I would be careful.
Please keep us posted. Good luck to you!
I work there and love it. Good pay and always on time.
I don't take the health insurance, so can't speak about that. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Good company, pay on time, seems like a lot of work. nm

QT Medical is a wonderful small company. Very friendly and flexible with good dictators. sm
I have to be honest that I know nothing about the health insurance as I do not carry it. Anyway, they are an absolute wonder of a company. Apply at www.qtmedical.com
Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

As far as I know, IC only. Very steady work flow. Pay is good and on time.
 Great lady to work for.
GOOD COMPANY FOR PART-TIME WORK?
Anyone know of a good company willing to hire for part-time work? I'm not familiar with the majority of the companies looking to hire on here. Thanks !
OUTSOURCE OVERSEAS, OUT OF WORK ALL THE TIME - GOOD LUCK (nm)

I am looking for a company where I can work as an IC for good lph rate part-time...
I am needing to supplement my income, as I am the sole provider for my family due to hubby recovering from illness. I would like to find a good company with good pay (9-11 cpl), part-time employee status or IC, hopefully providing all necessary equipment. I have been searching the archives all day and have not come up with any other than Webmedx, but it sounds as if I would be doing mostly ESL to make the higher lph. I could possibly come up with the PC if I needed to. I have 8 years acute care experience. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. If you don't feel comfortable posting, I have included my e-mail address. Thanks much in advance for all your help 
Looking for part-time work with good line rate.
I have loads of acute care experience and I am dependable. I never miss a day of work, willing to work weekends, etc. I am looking for a dependable company with steady work. Any ideas?
Good company, lots of clinic work, pay on time.

Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

are all companies running low or completely out during this time of year. sm
I have been working for this medium sized MTSO based in Tennessee (not TransHealth) and for the last 2-3 months there has been very low low work-- and guess what, we're expected to get at least 1000 lines to be eligible for Health Insurance paid by employer.... that is 1/2 of it. Here it is 6 a.m. and there is no work on my 2 accounts. Is anyone hiring now that has abundant work and pay at least 9 cpl with benefits. I need another job.
Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

Very nice company to work for... friendly and
good QA. It is sometimes difficult to get a high line rate though. Not sure why, but maybe because headers and footers are not paid for. They do pay for spaces however. Good Luck in your decision.
Management is good, benefits are good
As with most places, familiarity and building your templates is the key to lines. I never run out of work but, on the other hand, I said in my hiring interview that I had been through a series of good companies but where I was constantly running out of lines and so that was a huge priority for me, and they have honored their promise to keep me in full-time work. Insurance is cheap and good. PTO starts accruing from day 1. Holiday leave comes out of your PTO, but you earn 3 or more weeks a year (based on your lines typed) and they don't insist that you work it. I had Thanksgiving, Christmas eve, and New Year's day off for the 1st time in (seems like) forever! I would say, in all honesty, that the only thing I don't like is that I have to go to another page to check my lines but that takes a few seconds and is more of an inconvenience than anything.
Does JLG have nice accounts to work on and is their platform user friendly.
:
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm

I currently work at JLG and love it. Great, user friendly platform.
They leave you alone to type. Pay on time, never late. Pretty well organized and good communication. And they do not offshore! I be sticking around. 
They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to
x
No, just occasionally now
nm
Occasionally run low but...
Plenty of backup accounts available. I work on escription. Pay is 4/8.4. Benefits are decent. Nice management. I think the SHINE platform pays more but I'm not positive on that.
LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.
If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
If you aren't management & you're making good
money on VR, then why are you so desperate to attack those who don't want to do VR & try to shove it down their throats? A fellow MT wouldn't do that. They'd simply say they like it & how much they make rather than having a meltdown over other MTs not being thrilled about the switch....
Definitely running out of work. nm

running out of work
i work for Cymed and no work either. very hard to get line counts.
Running out of work
Hi there!
About running out of work - I see this is a very hot topic on the boards, as well as in the entire industry, and it's always the same this time of year. I am a supervisor now, but when I was a regular MT, working on production, it used to be the most frustrating time ever - from mid-October to right after the first of the year. I'll never forget dialing in multiple times on my C phone one Christmas - all day long. I just felt like I was fighting for work.
First of all, the reason for this dramatic drop in work is attributed to several different reasons. It's not that the company has hired too many people, and pushed you out of work. It's not that someone is secretly manipulating your work pool, and taking work away. It has nothing to do with offshoring, or any of that - Trust me. This was a problem WAY before offshoring became the major issue it is today. This is simply a result of less office and hospital visits. Most hospital visits are generated by older patients, and their routine, or urgent, procedures, necessitating H&Ps, Consultations, Discharge Summaries, OP notes, clinic visits to follow up the surgery they just had, etc., and etc. Many of them simply do not want to get out this time of year. They will put off going to the doctor until after the holidays. No one wants to schedule things during the holidays, and even people who have minor emergencies will try to treat themselves rather than go to the ER during this busiest season of the year.
So, how do we manage it?
I take a lesson from some people I know who are union workers, and their work is mostly outdoors. Their work slows down during the wintertime. They know it, and they prepare for it. They put their funds in a savings account, or their branch of the union does it for them, to doll out later when work is leaner. You can be your own credit union. Many companies offer great - ABSURDLY great - incentives when the work is in a big backlog. Take this opportunity next year, and put all of your overtime or incentive pay in a savings account, so you can use it when the holidays hit again near the end of October next year! You could just jump from company to company, or decide to go work in an office somewhere hourly, but don't fool yourself. Neither of those solutions will ever replace the rewards for being a dependable, steady, disciplined, loyal employee of a good company. Find one you like, and stick with it, but know ahead of time that this year is going to be lean. Be ready - be expectant. It's one of the things about this industry you wish someone would have told you when you started, right? Well, I'm telling you...
Anybody else with MDI-MD running out of work lately?nm

running out of work
any companies out there that are not running out of work for their employees????
Why is everyone running out of work?-sm
Either these companies are overhiring, or losing accounts? What do you think it is? I am afraid to start my new job, because I am seeing posts where they run out of work....This is too frustrating...

RE: Why is everyone running out of work?-sm
Everyone - Too broad of an interpretation - The company I work for, no shortage of work.
