If you want to email me, please feel free. I am headed to the beach today through tomorrow :)
I live literally 1 block from the shore and have only been twice this year due to baseball with kids, my mother being in town for 3 weeks who does not like the beach and wants to be entertained all day long and a bout with the flu. I am going to take the rest of today and tomorrow and bake like a french fry!
Never heard of them. Could you email me the details. Thanks. NM

Webmedx does...Email me for details. nm

I work there - would recommend them; for details - email me - nm

I understand. I feel the same way today.
Feel like sitting by the highway with a sign that says, Will type for food. I keep looking at other jobs, and I did have another part time job, but when we got busy at MDI, it was too much to do both jobs. And have been elsewhere as an employee with no work, which was worse b/c you just sit and wait. At least here you can leave. I am tempted to go for the day today, and should be able to as an IC, but afraid if I don't get count, I will be given the lower line rate prn myself. I am with you. Saying the Serenity prayer today and will just keep notes as to times ran out of work, etc. Don't know what else to say except there are others here who feel the same way and really don't know what to do.
Thanks for that. I feel a little better. I've had offers from three co's today sm
so maybe it is all for the best. What we want isn't always what's best for us.
Was it just today or when? Nothing in my email regarding this subject. nm

I got the same form email today and

17 years experience here.


got an email today from them after applying
this was one of the requirements for an acute care MT

We now require a minimum of 5+ years of recent, full-time medical transcription experience. No other medical experience, experience gained through school or nonmedical transcription is acceptable. Recent means no more than a 2-year gap since last full-time transcription position.

wonder why they feel the need to email all MT's
you'd think they would know how to email only the MT's it pertains to

and the stupid email graphics from QA are not professional at all, they distract from the real content of the message... very unprofessional plus she can't spell.
I got an email from them today as well....it was very vague about what positions ....
were available.  And the person who sent this email sent a mass mailing to several (at least 25 or 30) transcriptionists at one time.  Seems to me this person is canvassing or trolling per se.  I'm very uncomfortable with this one because I've never heard of them nor are they in any archives here on this board.  I am also looking for any information on this company.  Merry Christmas all.
I got the same email from the president of AAMT today but like
you say, a day late, a dollar short. I think they would best serve themselves by staying away from the Heartland employees. I personally do not know how they can hold their heads up with what has happened to our industry. I believe in global economy, but what they did was wash us right out of it.
feel free to email me...
Hello,
I currently work for them and I really like my account. I am able to make a good line rate and the people are very nice. There are some problems, but I have not found a national yet that does not have some sort of problems with them. If you would like more info I would be happy to answer your questions.
By the way, feel free to email me

also as I have a direct connection to the hiring in my company and I would be happy to pass the resumes on to the right people.  I know we have openings in acute care including emergency room reports.  I don't think we have anything else right now but wouldn't hurt to send the resumes to the link above.  If we don't have anything, I am sure they will contact you when they do.

Please feel free to email too.
Thanks!
I wish! None that I know of. Feel free to email me! nm

I received an email today stating it was all approved. :-) nm

Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
Feel free to post here or email Natalie as well. nm

Submitted resume 9/28 late at night. Received email today. nm

Feel lucky you didn't get a rejection email. I have over 16 years experience
and this is the first test, since the very beginning of my career, that I have not passed.  I am stunned.  I'm not perfect by any means, but this is the first real rejection. I understood it early in my career, but after all this time, and working the past five years doing acute care for a couple of nationals, I get turned out by this company because I failed the test and they do not even tell you which part. I needed this job, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Don't let it get to you. Every day it is a new company that is being bashed. sm
Those of us who are happy at Keystrokes know we have a good thing going. Those who either didn't cut it, were never hired or continue to job hop are never going to be happy anywhere or if they are, it is for a short time and they come on here and bash the company they went to.

One of the posters on here is someone that I know well and she used to post positive things about how she left MQ for KS, left KS to go back to MQ, left MQ again to go to KS and now complains that they did not give her a good account. Would you? Personally, I would make someone who leaves and comes back prove themself. I just listen to her vent when we talk and move on, knowing that the next time we talk, it will be to vent about the new company she went to. And so it continues ...
Please tell me where I have constantly bashed
Axolotl.  Do you have me confused with someone else?
I will probably be bashed by the naysayers,

but I'll answer anyway.  I work Sun-Thu on 1 account at MDI.  I am committed to 800 lpd but my account is always needing extra help.  This Saturday alone, my day off mind you, I got in an extra 800 lines.  Now before I am accused of stealing other people's lines, we were asked to work extra on the account to keep it in turnaround time.  My hours vary from day to day - but since I'm only committed to 800 lpd, I can usually get them in in under 4 hours.  I generally work an hour in the morning (9-10), 2 hours in the afternoon (1-3) and 1 hour in the evening usually after 9 or 10.  No weird graveyard hours or anything.


I guess your experience at MDI would really depend on the account you get.  I guess I must be one of the lucky ones because my experience with MDI has been great thus far.  I hope it continues.  For those who are hitting a rough spot, I hope it smooths out. 


I really don't have anything negative to say about MDI.  For that, I'll be bashed on this board, but that's okay because I've got tough skin. 


 


That post bashed 7 companies, and
went on to say the good companies never get mentioned. Well whose fault is that? I'm working for one of the 7 due to word of mouth. If you had posted about a better company, maybe I'd have applied there. But do you actually know what these better companies are? Instead of bashing companies, you should be praising the good ones. Now that would be helpful!

Otherwise it sounds like you're just telling fairy tales.
I am still really amazed about that MT who bashed the co this week for being fired because of her
poor quality! You rarely see an MTSO fire an MT because of poor quality (boy would I love to see it having seen some of the poor quality that is sent to the facilities) because there are some who are just given so many chances that they do not deserve. They need to be weeded out and continue to be weeded out and for one to publicly come on here and bash an MTSO for doing what they had to do really has stuck in my mind.

I still think MTSOs really need to be a cut above the MTs when it comes to going off but yes I do understand that sometimes they just have to say something.
I agree! Too busy to be on here and too disgunted with being bashed to want to open myself up sm
to that anymore. Happy at Keystrokes, that's all I need to say.
They won't. It is common for a company to be bashed into the ground once it seems people are hap
I knew it was going to happen once I saw the positive posts about Keystrokes. Some people obviously get sick thrills from stirring the pot.

I hope they're happy now. I am sure Keystrokes will miss out on some great MTs because they won't apply due to the posts that have been put the last few days.

Can't anyone accept that there really is a good company out there?


but a great post - my company gets bashed all the time too.
nm
Nope. We just get sick and tired of our company getting bashed
at every turn. We love this place and have run out of patience with posters like this who clearly have no idea what they are talking about.

Have you never lost your patience?
I'm guessing the reason these companies won't put their names is afraid they will get bashed.
I'm not sure why else they wouldn't be proud enough to put their company name. Pretty sad..
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo
nm
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!
Details, details.....sm
Minimum is 1000 lpd, Expander is not a problem. Surprisingly, schedule is quite flexible.
We need more details, please. nm

Anyone have any details?
Looking into Probity - anyone have the scoop on them? Their website doesn't say how long they've been in business, or much about their size, platform, benefits, requirements, etc. Does anyone actually work there or are they brand new?
E-me if you want details, MT *or* QA. nm
.
I don't know the details...
I just was told the contract expired and wasn't renewed...for what reasons I will never know.  Total bummer man. 
details on

*new* insurance plan been released yet?  It has been months in the making . . .


 


Details
Of course, individuals will have different experiences. Some find the accounts a breeze and love it there. I found the accounts to be tough, the QA to be extreme and at times inconsistent. I know that it has been said here that the manager is better now, but this was the primary reason for my departure. I could have dealt with the stringent QA and the tough accounts, but nastiness and disrespect I could not handle.

I would suggest that you try them for yourself. The benefits are great and I loved the fact that I could see how much money I earned for each report I typed almost immediately after completing the report.

Even if the manager was not an issue, I do not think that I could have earned a decent living on the account that I was on. Give them a try, maybe you will get a better account and have a better experience.
See msg for details...
I believe full time is considered $900 per pay period (I think there are 2 pp per month). If they pay 8 cpl that is 1125 lines per day for 10 days. That is about standard (many places 1200 lines/day is full time).

They do have set schedules (I think).
You want details? sm

The owner holds your paychecks and you get paid late and then blames it on the postal service.  They over hire and you never can make any decent money because there is too much down time.  They don't do anything about cherry picking, yet they will b##h about it (I don't cherry pick because if I did, I would be in hog heaven and would not be writing this post).  The owner is rude and you can never get feedback from QA even if you beg for it.  Their tech support stinks to high heaven!  You will never get anyone to answer any questions after they close at 5 p.m.  They don't staff around the clock like most companies do.


The platform they use is EMDAT and not a very MT friendly one at that, so your line counts suffer.  The sound quality of their dictations is substandard. 


Just some concerned advice to anyone who might be thinking of going to work with them just to save a fellow MT tons of grief.  I'm glad I found another company.  I was with them for some years and put up and sucked it up and kept saying you have to take the good with the bad.  My tolerance level is very high, but this has gotten ridiculous!


Any details?
I applied for the Ortho position too.  Any details as to why this company is good or bad from former employees would be appreciated.
Why do you regret it? Any details?

Details of my plan
I chose the United PPO plan. If I remember right it has a $250 deductible, a $35 copay, and a 3-tiered drug copay ($10 -$30 depending on the drug). No referral is required for specialists. I'm not sure on the details of the other plans offered, but this is what I have.
Yeah, I'd like more details on this myself. sm
The MTSO sued YOU because THEY stole your time, effort, and talent?? And they WON? Hmmmmmm......I wouldn't be surprised if Robin herself didn't place this post.
Please, no generalities. More details.
