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.

No. Must mean that they are a fair and reasonable
company to work for. If not, I would have left a long time ago.
Thanks. That sounds very fair and reasonable. (nm)

It is finally in place June 1st. It is reasonable and sm
really good. My sister has had it for yours and says Guardian is better than BCBS.
that place is he** and the owner is the devil. good luck with that.

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 do have a job a reasonable amount of work
with good pay. I just haven't worked for this low of pay in many years. It averages about $10.00 an hour when all said and done, and I didn't know if that is a waste of my time, or get more work at my other job for more money. It seems the latter one is better, but in this day and age, I always think 2 jobs are more secure just in case one gets low on work. What would you do in this case? It is an IC position.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
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.
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
Not fair, but sadly how most places work

Fair? Just curious, why does all the work in a pool go to
the same people and some don't get anything except what they can scrap up? Just curious about this
NO FAIR LEADS TAKING BEST WORK - sm
But I don't suppose this is a new issue, is it? Leads have to get in their lines, too, which I was surprised to learn - however, it shed light on a lot of things, like getting all crap/ESL, difficult work, this was before good work went VR and we actually did have some good dictators.
But as soon as one of the good jobs turned up in the MTs queue (after a while can often tell by MD ID#) - it disappeared just as fast, replaced by a piece of ----. Had asked lead a few times after this happened, who rudely answered that, what difference did it make to me - I hadn't started on the job yet, anyway.
In all fairness, work should flow naturally - first come, first serve, with the next available MT for the next available job. But as long as the Leads have control over this, they'll continue to get the best work. Lot of complaints also on this board re. Cherrypickers and blaming the MT (who get blamed for most everything, anyway) we need to look at WHO has control over work distributed and who benefits from having that control, and it's not the MT. 
NO FAIR-WORK SHOULD FLOW NATURALLY - sm
As bad as things were at the Q, we got 1 job at a time, detmined via automation, to whatever MT was free was the next to get that job - no one to pick the best work for herself and give MTs the garbage. All this BS about TAT - best work gets taken first, MTs get squat. And how many people do we have to answer to, anyhow? You have top supe, account supe, supe of transcription, and leads like Carter's has pills. No wonder we get all ESLs and garbage - done by those who have the power to dictate who does what work. In the next life, just make me a Lead -- they can even keep the hourly/weekly salary -- just let me have first grab at the available dictation! 
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
May I ask where you who get a decent cpl and benefits work?nm
nm
When I find decent people who know the value of decent wages, I will!
tyvm
Thanks. Can you make any decent pay with them and are the accounts decent. What is your feeling
that. Thank you.
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 agree. Just because we are running out of work, it is not fair to belittle or be unkind personall
to Dorothy or any of the staff. I agree they have most likely over hired as this is the first time I have ever run out of work at MDI, holiday notwithstanding and it has now been going on for a couple months now. I am frustrated to the point of tears myself and may be looking for another job. I have tried to address these issues with her to no avail. I do hope things will get better but this will be the last week I can afford to hang on. She said things will pick up this week and I am hoping she is right, if not I too will have to leave. At any rate, I have no complaints personally with Dorothy. She has always been very kind and fair to me. I will truly hate to leave but probably have no choice.
Oh, yeah, NOT fair to those TransTech MT's who are REQUIRED to work a certain # of hours per mont
on weekends! Tell us how you managed to talk TT mgmt into that favor for you! Oh, no, another TT fav !!!
Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

They DON'T pay a decent wage or provide ample work.
They're sending it all to India. That's the point.
if this is not an owner post I will eat my hat! I don't even work there and don't buy this po
nm
I know the owner pretty well and having seen her work, I'd....SM
... definitely give it a shot if I were looking. Go for it!
Yes, I work there...The owner and QA and everyone else is very nice.
xx
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.
sad part is, those decent docs likely have no idea their work is being sent overseas. nm

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

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.
The owner of the company I work for says she will never sell but I doubt anyone could
pass up millions if put in front of them. I couldn't, that's for sure. A nice island somewhere with someone to bring me slushy drinks :)
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.
Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm
:
Great place to work. LOTs of work and (sm)
as the other poster noted, somewhat flexible. Make your lines and they pretty much leave you be. Communication is great, QA is great. The platform is extremely easy. There's plenty of work to go around and then some.
Old posts say the owner is nasty and they run out of work all the time. Don't like workaholic
s
Wow. This board continues to stun me. I don't even work there and feel bad for the owner. sm
I have a few friends who work for Keystrokes and have had the owner do a lot for them. They make good money and she has helped one of them out of a bind more than once. Should my hospital ever outsource, I would go running to Keystrokes.
Why is it ok to attack a person on here? Why must everyone be nasty so often?
It seems that every company has people like you that come on and go on and on. Why? Don't you have anything better to do?
I would hope that there is a way for companies to be warned about so many of the trolls on these boards. I'm sure they talk among each other and know who you all are. At least I hope they do. As a hospital supervisor, I would hate to have you work under me.
BAD PLACE TO WORK
I have hands on experience with this company and every negative post that you read about them is 100% truthful. There were and appears still are many many times when we didn't get paid on time, and the funny thing is it was ALWAYS somebody elses fault. She even went as far as having the bank call us one time and tell us it was their screw up.
I used to be able to make okay money when I first started, but then some things happened and we all got screwed out of work for some time and then things have gone down hill for her ever since.
The other thing that bothered me is the fact that we invoice her on one day for a two week time frame and don't get paid for that invoice for like four weeks. That is not right! Linda is using that money of yours to take care of Linda first.
She is a business run out of her basement, which shouldn't matter because I currently work as an IC and it is totally a different set of circumstances. Totally honest.
My best advice........unless you like to work for free stay away! Things will not change with her and I suggest not even giving her the benefit because you will regret it in the end.
Well, first you have to have the work to do in the first place, SM
but there is also the burn out factor and motivation. Guess that's true wherever you work.
It is still the place to work sm
I would rather have different accounts to type than no work. Medquist is just way ahead of most other companies technically. I don't care if they offshore anymore as most companies do these days. I learn something new every day and it is never boring. Just my opinion :)
No way would I work at a place that
it is possible I would not get paid even during the training period. Unless J&J is a company owned by Webmedx, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. Never heard of anyone who would fire you if you did not meet QA on a daily basis.
Great place to work!
I came to Phoenix after having worked at the 2 large nationals over the past 4 years. I'm SO glad! The do not pay for spaces but the headers/footers more than make up for that. The work is steady, same account (or accounts) and never runs out. The staff are great to work with, helpful and very thoughtful. Great place to work!
QT is not a good place to work IMO
nm
It's a better place to work, IMO. The support is better too.
They are separate companies.
It's an awesome place to work...
I don't know about Transcend, but I know that MDI has the MT's best interests at heart.
Have you worked at both MDI and Transcend? My account at MDI has about 40% ESL, but once you get used to them, it's not bad
FUTURENET is the BEST place to work!
For real, FutureNet Technologies is the best place out there to work! I have tried two other places over the internet, and BY FAR, FutureNet is the best! They have a lot of work. Their pay is ALWAYS on time, EVERY TIME. They have production bonuses, easy format (VERY EASY) and they do not ask for IM, so that means they are not bugging you all day. They email you, or every now and then call you, when something is needed...and they send counts all throughout the day to let you know how much work is in the system. The people are GREAT, easy to get along with and very nice. They may be doing some hiring. If so, RUN to them! They are the absolute BEST!
Great place to work
Wonderful people, great software, sound quality excellent, benefits affordable, don't really noticed the ESLs, maybe because I'm used to them, or maybe depends on the account. Pay average.
Terrible place to work.
I agree with the poster about the platform being terrible. Tech support is almost nonexistent, and after training, expect to be out on your own. They will tell you exactly what you want to hear and then do exactly what they want, never to your advantage. I was there for 3 months, quit and it took them 2 months to process my paperwork. During that time, I would still get emails asking me to work extra or emails about account specific updates, etc.... I'd work at Dairy Queen before I'd go back there... but hey, that's must my 2 cents.
I work for KS. Its a wonderful place
to work. You are treated well, they listen to your concerns, pay is on time. If for whatever reason, you don't like your account, just ask for another one. If your good, they want to please you so you will stay with them. It's in the top two on my list. Spheris, oh no. You have to get used to taking tests for these companies, that's just the way it is. Test and wait, test and wait. Good luck.
TRS is a horrible place to work
Extremely bad management, constant changes in management, constant do more, do more, do more, benefits always changing and not to the benefit of the MT but always to save them money. If you want to be a number and constantly being looked at for what you DO NOT do rather than what you do accomplish, then TRS is the place for you. If you want to make money and be happy, I think flipping burgers at McDonald's is a few steps up from TRS.
I watched way too many good people get walked all over at that company and finally leave. I lost my faith in the idea they could come back to a good company and after several years, decided to take myself to another company.
I hope you find what you are looking for, but please run away fast from TRS as I would hate to see another MT treated the way they are treating their people.
