they have a horrible platform -- two horrible platforms now, actually -- some lousy dictators, sound quality issues, and the management is very bad when it comes to communication of any sort. Questions go unanswered and issues never get addressed. But they're nice people, for whatever that's worth.

Why are people so quick...
to think that lack of work is the sign that a company is *bad*. There is such a thing as TAT. Anyone in this field knows that at times it is feast or famine. I have no problem making my lines during the pay period, even when volume is low; it's called being flexible with my schedule. I do what I have to do, still have my days off and still make decent paychecks.
Wow, you're quick with your response! Thanks again! nm

That is exactly how quick this company can get people going.
This company truely is one of the best. I feel like I am honestly part of a great family!
Basically, what I'm saying is that people are so quick to want a union but...
they do not realize that in this day and age, their job can shoot straight out of the company. In fact, it's also working the opposite - Indians, Phillipines, Brazilians are being shipped in to do nursing now! South Americans are being shipped in to work on hurricane relief efforts clearing mold and hazardous material for $8.50/hour for FEMA.
Isn't it scary how quick people are to go for the jugular
So you can only post the truth if it's "nice"?
And what will these companies want next? Your firstborn?
Quick, the gene pool need a quick Clorox!

Could I please get a quick reply to quick hiring???....sm
I cannot find anything here or in archives about Integrity Transcription Service LLC; I was rapidly recruited and offered employment w/o testing, and wonder if there are any MTs here who work/have worked there? Could you please share here or at my e-mail? Soooo much appreciated, trying to weed things out! 
There are a lot of people who know more than they're tell us
People in the industry, other than those of us MTs at MQ, seem to have a idea of what is happening. I have heard from several recruiters, what shame, what MQ is doing to their MTs, or I sure hope MQ recovers, we'd hate to lose them since they were so vital to the success of this industry. EVERY interview I've been on, and there have been A LOT, have mentioned MQ and their future in one way or another. That just happened to be the way OSi mentioned it. I DON'T care, but I also didn't ask about it, the recruiter just mentioned it when talking about my employment history, and since I work for MQ, that is why the name even came up, I guess. Also, another reason could be that OSI is in a suburb of Atlanta, Transcend is based in Atlanta and I live in Atlanta. So, maybe it was for that reason - I don't know, I didn't elaborate because I didn't feel it prudent. But, if someone gave me some insight on something with MQ that I could share with my fellow MQ workers here, I would do it. I posted the info, whether true or not, so everyone could have a head's up. Something definitely is going to happen, there's no doubt there throughout the industry, we just don't know what, when or how.
And if they're looking for 2 people, let me know, too!!
I need something to get through the 'tween weeks with the other lower paycheck.
you know nothing. You're trying to scare people because
You're right - their QA people are insane
There's never been a month that they couldn't find anything on a particular report of mine to complain about so they said that I put a comma in the wrong place just to have a mistake to document.
No, it IS that they're greedy! These people want
ALL the accounts! At all costs! They think by 'dominating' the industry by taking as many accounts as they can get, that it makes them a better company. But how do they make a profit with those lowball bids? Off the backs of the MT.
Greedy, greedy, greedy, GREEDY!
As long as we're correcting people
Someone could actually be a really fast typist but not a good speller. You should have said Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't spell well. If you're going to be snide, at least have it make sense.
Sometimes in-house people will work the holidays since we're only

Obviously, you're all nice people - both companies are blessed to have you
 I've seen so many ugly remarks on this website that I was actually afraid to even post for opinions - but each and every one of you have been honest and most of all respectful. I didn't get the response - look in the archives. I think that is a rude and nonchalant response. To answer the question and give YOUR opinion, shows concern. This is a difficult field and somehow instead of cutting each other down, we need to pull together. I'm taking this opportunity to thank each one of you who took the time to respond. 
Any service that offshores has US QA people. We're the ones stupid enough to take these jobs
and clean up their mess!
They're kind of new. Older posts had people having difficulty with them. nm
s
You have to use their puter, do 1200 lpd at a low rate, and they're slow and nasty getting people
m
The MTs can't get out of there quick enough.
Keep looking!
Don't be too quick..
I know a lot of QA people that are not consistent including the ones that trained me. One person can say one thing in one month, and the same person will say something else the next month. It's not always the MT ya know
Very quick!
RUN - away - quick!
RUN AWAY
you are just too quick to....
point your finger, AND this is not gossip as I, along with others, went through the same thing. OP was just asking a simple question and your cocky answer was not called for. So I say it again, GROW UP!!
It's all about quick TAT sm
The TATs are tight so the accounts have to be staffed 24/7, and more people are working on the accounts keeping them caught up. The work is steady on my internet account, but it is always very current with very little backlog but the work is there. I've been at MDI for 4 years, cleared for all work types on my accounts, and have 5 accounts I can work on although only consistently work on 2. I have a friend who started recently. On her account, she was not cleared for all work types, and she does have trouble getting her lines. She doesn't want a backup account yet.
Quick, quick
I testing and applied with them and got a phone call from Bonnie Monaco within 2 hours of submitting everything.
Thanks for your quick response!

so dont be so quick to THINK you know
what happened. anyway, don't worry about what I will or will not do.
Thanks for the quick responses! s/m
I can't find anything else at all. Don't know if this would help me gain exp though for medical transcription.
Where is the work at home mom's board???
Thanks again :-)
Transcribe it Quick
I was wondering if anyone had heard back from Transcribe It Quick or has worked for them before. They posted on the job board on 05/09 for per diem transcriptionists. I received a phone call from a very nice woman who was the owner of the company. She told me she wanted to hire me, told me all the specifics, welcomed me to the company, etc. and she even had me register with the site and download their player. She was supposed to call me back that night, and I haven't heard word one back from her. It sounded like a great job opportunity with great pay. I called and left a message on her answering machine and I still haven't heard anything. I thought it was really strange, and I was wondering if anyone had received a phone call back from her and was offered a job.
Thanx for the quick reply!
TY
Do you want quick or accurate?
Why go to a board like this for a question to do with your company's benefits? Actually, you would probably get a pretty quick answer by e-mailing your HR rep, and it would have a much higher probability of being correct!
Quick Question - sm
 Which forum on MTStars is the best one to visit if you're interested in learning about obtaining private accounts - tried-and-true methods, platforms to choose, etc.? TIA!
quick to defend too
vv
Please, quick info regarding....sm
Medical Transcription Services in Wisconsin -- sent me a letter regarding a new radiology account coming on board, would really love to take it (love rad), but I cannot find much about them AT ALL. Thanks in advance!
thanks, another quick question-
do they supply computer/equipment?
I got a quick response, but
they only had 3rd shift available. I took a few days and then responded saying that I would be able to work the shift, then the recruiter told me she would contact me to discuss the position. That was 2 weeks ago, and I still have not heard anything. I'm also very experienced, with 99.5% QA or better. Very weird . .
Don't be so quick to doubt
I'm 5 years into my MT career. I'm 48 and currenly I work an average of 10 hours a day for a popular MTSO.
2 years in house - most I made was was 27K
Last year 6 months in house, 6 months at home - 24k
Next year - 34k
This year 55k! Do I count on that for next year? Nope, but I can hope.
Yes, my speed probably is increasing. Since this industry has a give yourself a raise mindset, that's what some of us do, when we can.
Yes, its awful that many of you made that much in the good old days, and its been reduced. But as a relative newbie, I have nothing to be bitter about, so I just keep honing my skills and my expanders.
I think a quick email to your STM would be it. sm
That's all I did, said that I intended to work an extra hour each day, although I was usually getting 37 hours a week anyway.
Quick ? Sunshine
Just how strict are they on the 98% and QA submission? I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give!
Just a quick question please?
Hi!
I was hoping maybe you could share a little information about the Keystrokes hiring process with me?
I am really hoping to join the Keystrokes team but I am not sure if I should and my emails are not returned.
Many thanks!!
Quick clarification...
A lot of the accounts have the ability to go back to old reports and you pull several lines of information, those lines are paid at a different rate than the lines you actually type. It is basically getting paid for free lines I guess you would say. Nice enough company. Pay normally on time. They bascially leave you alone if you are doing your job.
Yes, yes, and yes. Honeymoon over real quick! nm

I'm a quick study but it was immediate. Its so easy.
nm
can you quick explain "link" to me?
xx
Keystrokes Rad MTs.....quick question...sm
Could you all let us know the per report rate that Keystrokes is offering for their radiology MTs? I am intersested but don't want to waste anybody's time either. TIA
It was a very quick little blurp during an interview
and the recruiter said, as we were talking about Medquist - Yeah, Transcend will have its hands full when it picks up Medquist. That'll be soon.
It was the recruiter from OSI. Yes, they tell little fibs, but she also did tell me they outsource a very small percent of their work, and that was true.
Thank you LM for all your quick responses and information!!! NM
oh but they are quick to send an e-mail...
when you get something wrong in the dictation...
Thanks so much for your quick response and advice. sm
It's been a few years since I have had to apply for a new job and wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning or not, or if it would ever be asked. Thanks again!
Oh, LOL. Guess I got defensive too quick :) NM.
