good/bad?  I put in a resume for QA at MQ months ago and have been called back about it but it's a bunch of hurry up and wait speech--i'm supposed to get a position there but i'm applying elsewhere jic.  Saw the ad for Dictation Services Group QA position and thought I would apply...thoughts?

Does anyone have information on a company called Dictation Services Group, Inc.?  They are in Atlanta.  Anyone with info may feel free to reply to me privately.  I am completing a test for them and wondered about the company.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have any information they are willing to share about this company.  I noted they  have an ad on MT Daily?  Is DocQScribe easy to learn?   I note their recruiter used to be with another company that I now work for which does not pay for those spaces and now am having  a lot of server problems and have to wait for reports to go to server before I can start with another one, very very frustrating.  Dictation Services Group  pays for spaces, but are wanting MTs mostly for second shift.  I work a split shift.

Followup:   I did test with them.  There was a written test  with 33 questions and then typing test with 5 reports.  Sound quality was good.  There was one foreign accent on a heart cath. 

The thing is that I know the recruiter from meeting her when she worked with SPi as theier recruiter and they were the company that my hospital outsourced too.  Well the recruiter left SPi.  I had to send two Emails and yesterday she said she would call me yesterday.  Yesterday has come and gone and still no phone call.  She said she had to hire 40 people.  I just wanted to know if I passed or failed.  I had to go to work for SPi but they do not pay for spaces.  DSG test can be done with open book and was not bad.   Good Luck if you go for it. 

If there any information about this company that anyone would want to share that actually works for them.  Is there enough work to make a decent paycheck or you guys that work for them sit and wait on work a lot?    Their platform which I hear is not hard to learn.  Thanks ahead of time. 

Question on current DSG MT's.  When there is plenty of work, how hard is it to reach 1000 lines a day.  Can it be accomplished in an 8 hour day?   Is DocQScribe hard to learn?  I am currently working for MT Company and I have an opportunity maybe to change to DSG but I so afraid of the unknown anymore.  I just do not want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire so to speak.  I am so tired of learning account specifics anymore my mind is just frazzled at this time.   I like perks about both companies and this is a hard decision to make.  One perk is I have to work on Sat for one company and on the other hand the other I do not have to work unless I need to make up for lost time or make up for lost lines.  This is a hard decision.  One company I have to do about 800 lines a day and the other company is about 1000 lines a day, one pays for spaces and one does not.  Just confused at this time and would like to have more opinions. Thanks

They had a post on MT stars and MT jobs a couple of weeks ago.  I sent a resume' but never heard back.  I followed up the resume with an e-mail inquiring if they were still hiring, but again never heard anything.  I have been transcribing for 15+ years, but have not done too much moving around from company to company.  Is this the way most companies operate?  How much time does it take to respond to an e-mail (and yes even if you get a hundred) and advise whether or not they are still hiring.  I am a little disappointed.  I have experience with the platform they are using and the type of account they were hiring for.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Has anyone had experiences with this company, i.e. staff, software, accounts, good pay (and ontime), etc.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for?  I appreciate any insight you could lend.  Thanks!

I am the HR person, QA, and trainer for a small company.  We've had the same employees for more than 5 years, some as long as 10.  Recently we had to hire a few new people because of growth. 

People talk about wanting to be respected and wanting to keep the work here.  I agree this needs to be done but in order to do that we have to have qualified people.  IF somebody passes our simple test, which is transcribing real files, and we hire them, we tell them their line requirement.  We don't even require set hours.  We get people who won't do 200 lines per day, much less what is required.  We get people who say they have 10 years of experience, yet require total read throughs, which cost us money.  The incredibly bad ones we have to let go, which is incredibly hard for me to do, then come here and post how horrible the employer is.  They don't mention the fact that 1) they still have our equipment even though they have their last check, 2) they failed to do their required lines per hour, 3) half the time they just didn't work at all PERIOD.  Or I invest a great deal of time in training them and they quit with reasons like I didn't realize it would take four hours to work part time and get my lines, I didn't know working at home was like having a REAL job.

I don't know anything about your company at all, but I do know the frustration at being hammered on these forums without the real stories being told, so I think it's great that somebody actually takes up for their company.  We do not outsource, but I have edited for companies who do, and the work is there ON TIME, even if it has to have minimal editing.  If someone is sick, there's somebody to back them up.  No whining, no emails from people who say that for the 10th time this month there was a wreck and their power is off, the dog is sick, I fell and hurt my back again, my dad is going to be ill in December so I'll need time off, my car broke down and I had to walk 5 miles home so that's why I am 8 hours late getting on, I was out all night partying and I have too much of a headache now to work.  It's a real shame for the people who actually do work their tails off.

Lest we get redirected to the politics board, let me make a few general observations.  I would not look to the companies for resolution.  They are only one player among many whose greed holds our country in their clutch...a tight, squeezing grip that impoverishes the poor, enriches the wealthy and make economic refugees of the ever-shrinking middle class.  Look beyond the corruption of the politicians and whatever despair, frustration and hopeless you may feel.  For a long and single moment, stare far back into the eyes or our history and ask these questions over and over and over again:

Why are we paid wages like we're a third world country. It'd be nice just to meet the bills, but between low wages and high costs of having insurance, which we have to have because our antidepressant medications are so flipping high, who can survive doing this anymore? 

They are your questions.  They are mine too. Why, indeed.   Go and find your answers.  Seek educated and balanced debates pros and cons, right and left. Here's a hint on how to start.  You'll have to switch to something besides Fox and CNN to find this.   Listen to the candidates.  Follow the rhetoric and their platforms.  Watch closely and be a tough critic.  Put yourself around others who share these perspectives.  Listen and contribute, teach and learn from one and the other.  Identify your agenda and then go out and promote and support it. 

Do this between now and this time next year.  Then show up at the polls.  You will know what to do.  If you don't get what you want from the leadership and the legislators, do not disappear into the corner of the country.  Get out there and go for it, over and over.  This is not wasted effort.  If you were a child of the 60s or 70s, you would believe this.  In my life, sweeping, long-reaching and lasting reform has come and gone.  Minorities and women still reap the benefits of those efforts from so long ago.   The time is ripe for history to repeat itself.

PS:  If this were 1970, you and I would be organizing (watch out, here comes that dirty word) LABOR UNIONS. 

We are all spread out, and the company I just came from kept everyone's name a secret, including how many working on the account, changes in schedules - everything.

And this is exactly why, so we CAN'T do anything about anything.
