have them added as a secondary?  I understand they are large accounts and I would ever so much enjoy working on accounts that do ops other than a few laparoscopic procedures.  Those large hospitals often have gruesome, yet interestingoperative reports. 

Does it depend on if the account falls under your STM?  Will they put out info closer to start date telling us about the size and scope of accounts? 

Sorry for so many questions.  Love the company and like my account, but would change it in a heartbeat if given the opportunity for something a little more interesting.

Lets be reasonable here.

I see complaints because we get put on a difficult account when you know there are easier ones out there.  I see complaints because when you start working for a new company you are put on an easy account and then switched to a more difficult account. 

Face it.  Every company has hard accounts along with the easier accounts.  What should these companies do?  Start you out on the worst accounts so you cannot possibly get your line counts when you are starting and as nervous as a shaky leaf?  Start you on an easy account until you lose your fear and have passed QA to ensure you know the basics of transcription?  (That is what you are calling bait and switch.)

I just do not think these companies can win.  They certainly cannot meet your demands of easy accounts, especially those who are just starting for them and think you should get the cream of the crop.   Are they supposed to penalize their long term MLS and give them all the hard work just to accommodate your every wish?  Is this how you would want to be treated if you had worked for a company for 5+ years?   I don't think so.

I know we have been hiring in anticipation and probably some of the new employees are working on current accounts until everything is on line.  At least this has what I have ran into at other companies.  They have to be trained and ready and I anticipated our backlogs might be a little low as we share.  Today I have been out of work most of the morning which is EXTREMELY RARE, however it is a perfect day to play outside so I will go out and pot up some things and wait till the work load builds up a little more. 

Sorry if this kind of rambled on.  Welcome to new employees, I am certainly not complaining or accusing them of taking work away from the rest of us.  Just wondering when the new accounts are coming on and if we will be given opportunity to switch or try out the new ones. 

Have a good day.  Putting on my old jeans and heading outside for an hour or so. 

Might want to apply to the 2007 and 2008 MT Employer of the Year!

I know they recently were hiring and now the backload summary numbers are down on a lot of accounts (mine included).  I am hoping they just hired in anticipation of new account and are training these people on the current accounts and things will improve after the new accounts come on.  Am I dreaming? 

I understand no company wants to pay OT and it is a balancing act to get the correct number of MTs on any given account.  I just don't think they were hiring to overhire.  They seem far too nice for that. 

Sorry for blithering, main question was do they share info about upcoming new accounts? 

flexible schedule (as in working EVERY weekend mandatory? 

Any opinions on the company would be appreciated.  Found some in the archives but all mostly from 2004 and 1 recent post but not much info.  Thanks.

I am so frustrated with companies pretending to be wonderful and have tons of work and then once you start working for them they are a joke and you can't any money.  Where are the good reliable companies anyway?   

one keyboard, one monitor and one mouse.  Try Circuit City they have them.  Good luck.

Has anyone else noticed that MTs are being hired and promised, say 100% radiology, then suddenly radiology isn't ready yet so they need you to do acute care (which you *can* do but not so well).  And then you never really ever do get moved to the promised specialty?

Or been hired for a new account coming on that never seems to materialize and then you are one among 30 new MTs sharing the work that the prior MTs were covering just fine, so NO ONE is getting a livable wage?

I think bait and switch has become the new incentive for recruiters.  Promise them anything, give them nothing like it.  And they wonder why people want OUT of MT!

Are you allowed to use a KVM switch with Spheris?  I really don't want to set up 2 desks, but I will.  I know using the router is okay, but I don't see anything in the manual about using a KVM switch. 

Thanks for any info.

Here's the scenario:  A company posts here at mtstars that help is needed immediately for a daytime account with no set hours, paying higher than most.  I submit my resume.  About 2 weeks later, I receive testing materials via email, which I complete and return within 24 hours.  Two weeks after that, I email with a query as to the status of my application.  Yet another 2 weeks later, the company responds to my email with we're working on it.  Yet another 2 weeks later, I am offered a phone interview.  I'm wondering what might have happened to that account that needed immediate help?  To prepare for the interview, I go over questions and answers in my mind, and wonder what to say when I am told that the previous position is filled or whatever.  Am I totally out of line to ask what took them so long to get back to me?  Or, might I ask if someone else started that position and already resigned and, if so, why?

Am I a fool to continue to communicate any further with this company?

TIA.

in addition to all negative reports from other posters.  I would say don't, unless you can afford to gamble that all the posters were indeed crackpots as the recruiter will tell you. Good luck whatever choice you make.
