ProType
I have worked for ProType in PA for the last year. I think they are great. My time is flexible and I make as much money as I want because I can work as much or as little as I want and when I want. Pay periods are twice a month, which is the 1st through the 15th and the 15th through the end of the month. I saw a posting that said they never knew when they were going to get paycheck, but I have never had a problem. I usually get my paycheck within 4 days after pay period ends like any hospital I ever worked for and they pay twice a month. I have been very happy with them. The work is steady. There are lots of dialects and lots of specialties because they are University of Pennsylvania and a teaching hospital and also Temple University Hospital (so doctors rotate as fellows and students come and go). They fit you to what your experience is and there is always someone available if you have questions. The owners are great!!. I got sick right after I started with them and I couldn't work very much. They stuck with me and were very supportive until I got back on my feet. That is more than I can say for another company I used to work for. (When my dad had cancer and I took even 3 days off they griped about it. That was Transhealth out of Franklin, Tennessee by the way. They were very regimental about when you worked and always looking over your shoulder. I didn't like them at all. They weren't very forgiving about scheduling at all!) Anyway that is I what I think of ProType. Great company to work for, great pay, and great hours.
Protype
Worked for them for about a year from 2001-2002. They have been bought by Cymed so everything may be different. They were very unorganized, mom & pop kind of place. Otherwise they were great, but I was doing letters and they could not come up with a mailing list in the whole year I was there, had to make my own database. Imagine that impact on your line count? Luckily my husband has a paycheck, otherwise I could not have done it that long.

Not much work ever. Are they hiring? IF so, I am surprised, because we don't have enough work.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Protype in Pennsylvania
Looking for information regarding this company. Pros and cons please. E-mail me if you do not want to post here. Thanks.
ProType (Penn.)
Archive info is old (2005 through 2007) so am looking for someone who has current knowledge of the pros and cons for this company. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
More ProType questions
I also am interested in Protype. Specifically would appreciate info on what platform they use. Also the old info looked like there was no direct deposit. Has this changed? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
ProType is AWESOME!!!!!NM
The work is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and pay is pretty darn good.
Protype web page
I couldn't get onto their home page at www.protype.us as it said something about 'Apache' being installed on their page. Maybe they are in the process of building a web page. Anyway, I sent a pasted resume to office@protype.us and we'll see if I hear anything back. 
ProType in PA and flexible hours
I have worked for ProType for 1 year. They have flexible hours for the MT that is looking for it to work around her 3 children's schedule, and with regards to the MT looking for their address or phone number. They are ProType, Inc. 8794 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19082 or you can contact Maureen with your contact information and any questions at office@protype.us or fax her at 1-610-853-9600, and she will get in touch with you as soon as she is available. See my other posting under ProType for specifics about company and my feelings about working for them. I think they are great! You do not have to live in PA to work for them.
Can anyone share with me any info on ProType
in Phili? Thanks
FutureNet, and ProType out of Penn. so far. nm

company called protype out of new york
I see protype will pay 11 cents per line. Does anyone know anything good or bad about them?
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.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
A majority of at-home MT is overflow work with in-house getting the bulk of the work. If they clean

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.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

Are you required to work major holdays at KS. I know nature of biz to work them. Thanks for info. nm

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb
of months now. They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload.
Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.
Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and
I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.

I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is.
:+
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
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.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to

I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Don't work for KS but work for SS - another company bashed
Works GREAT for me and I love SS. I never really care what the negatives are as I have found they are usually people that can't make their lines, don't work the hours they commit to or just overall do not care!
don't like ASR/VSR -- all work going that direction -- causing very low work situation for awhile
Just a little message since you asked. Hardly any regular paid transcription work left for TT MT's (transcribing as in the old days, I am speaking of).
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
I work for an all-US company and refuse to work for one that offshores. Best of luck to you. nm
