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.
Low volume work
Same company, probably. My butt is now shaped like my chair's seat.!!
What's with the low work volume. I know about the feast or famine crap, but this is ridiculous.
I'm getting worried about this company, well BEEN worried about this company.
There seems to be either a severe lack of communication between MTs and bosses, or they just don't care.
Ok, rant over. Thanks for listening.
work volume
That's a good point about time and work volume. I work the 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift and there is usually plenty of work I guess because less people are working at that time.
I like them but work volume has been very low.
I have a very hard time making my minimum lines and no matter how many times I ask, I can't get put on any other accounts. If their work load picked up, they'd be great.
or it could be the work volume is just still low BUT
now the MTs figure they can cherrypick since they were sold out.?? That could be the reason, e-mail your leader and ask for them to check for skipping on your account if you keep getting the hard dictators!
once in a while when work volume is very high.nm

BREITNER WORK VOLUME?
I'm wondering if the low volume of work mentioned by other posters here is for all shifts or just daytime? The recruiter recently told me that there is plenty of work and she offered me a full-time position. Might it be just to have me around when and if they get more work in the future? Would I be a fool to expect full-time volume NOW if I would be working late second shift?
Had to leave FN due to neverending low work volume. SM
Almost everyone has to work IC if you don't live in California. Liked working there, though.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

That may be well and good, but she used poor judgment
with the verbiage used in her job ad post. While some may think it's funny, it's demoralizing to our industry and is not condoned by MTStars.
Their new pay plan brought me back to newbie wages since I don't do high volume. And the work loa

Poor excuse for a company
I am the husband of an IC who has worked for D & L for years and of course I have seen the insufficient funds checks, multiple banks and seen my wife go through tremendous stress listening to the lies from the Marino's. My wife is a trusting soul and I begged her to quit but she likes to give people the benefit of the doubt but lets face it when something smells, it usually rotten. To you younger generation of individuals who are thinking of working for the Marino's (John or Donna) who most likely will start another company under another incorporated company be aware of who owns the company. I have seen my wife work all day and night go to bed a three in the morning and get back up at eight and start all over again for a company who could care less about her.
A company that writes checks, knowing that there is not enough funds to cover these checks is guilty of fraud. The new one now is sending out a check to an IC with no signature. I can understand someone accidentally not signing a check but when you had a insufficient funds check two weeks prior which was made good a week later, and now a check with no signature then this is no accident. Due to the insufficient funds check and slow pays from D & L I never counted my wifes checks in our budget since you could not depend on D & L to pay. I feel sorry for those who have to buy groceries and pay the mortgages working for D & L
Poor company communication I would say.
I think it is best to avoid gossips/fears is to keep all abreast of company doings on. What can it hurt, sure hurts when there is misinformation (from fear factors)
typos are one thing (inadvertent), but poor grammar is a poor reflection and demonstrates lack..
of knowledge. In this profession, if you lack proper grammar knowledge, you should expect to receive comments from those MTs who take pride in producing top quality work. Just my opinion, but I think it is quite embarrassing to see inproper use of the english command from those who profess to be MTs. There's a difference between typing a message here and having a slip of the finger and just not knowing proper word forms and spelling. I see grammer quite often, dependible etc. I truly do no believe these are simple typos, sorry.
Would like to know if others experience poor feedback from their company when you need them.
Just simple easy to answer questions are e-mailed. Never get a response. This is so aggravating. But when they need you to do extra work because of the backlog, the e-mails are coming back to back. Are there any companies out there that treat you as if you are more than just a number. I am fed up with eTransPlus.
God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

Very, very good company to work
The pay, well, how good are you? You can make it what you want, so the post below, I would say she is not very good.
Good company to work for
Hello Everyone,
I am currently emplopyed with a major transcription company that I am not happy with. I am looking to switch to another company, but not sure which one(es) would be a good decision.
I have 12 years of experience and am looking to work at home. Any and all information would be helpful.
Thank you
I need a good company 2 work 4
Okay, having asked about Amphion, I'm just gonna ask if anyone can refer any good companies that have work. I need part-time employee status, preferably a computer, decent line pay, and good incentives. I really need to find a company in the next couple of weeks. I have been with MQ for a really long time and have had no work for the last four weeks and very low work volume for the last year. Thanks!
Good company to work for.
Lots of work. Platform is easy to learn. Flexible schedules. Good for an IC.
Good Company To Work For!!! :)
I have worked in the transcription industry for almost 16 years and by far Keystrokes has treated me the best since I have been with them. Wonderful staff, couldn't ask for anything any better. Why don't you apply? They have a lot to offer and are growing!
They are a good company to work for
Good luck to you, I have been with Medware almost one year, started part time and went full time. I like my account and team leader, type on EXText. Good benefits too. They have consistent work and pay by direct deposit. www.medwaremt.com
Yes, good company to work for
Pay on time, good benefits, decent line rate, 401-K (just started match), PTO.
Very good company wot work
for if you seriously want to work full time. That was my problem. I didn't want to be on a set schedule.
DSG is NOT MQ. They are a good company to work for, sm
The only thing now is there is not a lot of work except for QA evidently. But I still like working for them. They just use the DocQScribe platform like a few other companies.
You need to work for a good company, sm
one that does not outsource or lie. That company is Webmedx. Give them a try. I have been there since 2003 and actually enjoy my job for a change.
Good company to work for!
I work for a bad company with a good

Good company to work for
I love it at Amphion, the platform is very productive and the people are wonderful. I enjoy the variety of work on my account and keep plenty busy with voluntary OT when I want. It's a great place to work. Hope you give it a try and join our team! 
Not a good company to work for.
Go back and read the archieves from the last few months. Nothing has changed. I would keep looking if it was me.
Webmedx is a good company to work (sm)
for. Good benefits, fair pay. They give you a 12-hour window to get your work done. Be forewarned, though, most of their acute care has a GREAT DEAL of ESL dictators. If ESLs are a problem for you, you might want to consider carefully before accepting a job with them. QA is the absolute best. I think my manager is the greatest, don't know about others.
It's a good company. There is no shortage of work.
If anything, too much work
Is Transcend a good company to work for? nm

CBAY. Yes they do. They are a good company to work for.
Good benefits, nice people.
Softscript is a good company to work for. sm
I have been with them for over a year. I have had 1 late check (by 1 day). As long as you do your work and work the schedule you give them, they will leave you alone.
Good company, pay on time, seems like a lot of work. nm

US Transcription - good company to work for or not?
Hi guys!! Anyone out there got any information on US Transcription? I am wondering what kind of company it is to work for. Any information you can provide, good or bad, would be great.
Thanks
When Mag won the award, they were not a good company to work for. nm

Anyone know anything about Transform? Is this company good to work for?
Curious
OSI good company to work for and others listed
Any info would be appreciated about these companies. Incentive pay/medical premiums, good accounts, Word-based platforms?
What about Transolutions, Med-Scribe, MedWare, Northeast Transcription, E-MTS, JLG. I know there is a lot here but I am tired of bouncing around this past year. Want to find a place to make a decent living and stay put!! Need good bennies, decent platform, decent account, and plenty of work. I know, I know that is what we all want isn't it?
Thanks!!!
Spheris is not a good company to work for
I stayed with Spheris for as long as I possibly could, and pleaded with them for more work. I was without work more than I was with work. It was a nightmare. They have very poor communication and I ended up in a big hole because of them. They tell you one thing and then do another.
Is Diskriter a good company to work for?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Spheris a good company to work for or maybe
Transend? I current work for MQ and even though I like my job, I am not too sure if it will be here seeing as all of our work is being sent to our friends in India. I was wondering about Spheris. I was going to apply to them about 3 years ago before I got my MQ gig... Would you say that they treat their employees fair and not bounce them from account to account? Do they change their employees schedule like crazy? I really appreciate you taking the time to read this and maybe answer me back... lol! I am a single mother so MONEY is really important right now. My bills arent but 1700.00 and you would think that I would be able to make it... but NOPE!!! In fact I am in the hole!!!!
I work for Webmedx and the communication is poor. sm
The MT managers are okay about answering email. However, questions to upper management go unanswered--or even worse are answered with a defensive attitude that you shouldn't be asking questions. I'm suspicious of any individual or company that gets uncomfortable with questions.
The quality of the Indian work is so poor, sm
that the company will eventually lose the accounts, thereby the US MTs lose even more work!!
As soon as a company offshores, it creates its own doom. (A chink in the armor, so to speak.) It will eventually come back and bite the company where it hurts--unfortunately, it's the US MTs who get hurt the most.
Offshoring is putting US MTs out of work, plain and simple.
When you've been around this business a little longer, you'll understand.
Oracle is a pretty good company to work for but,
their home-grown software makes it difficult to get a good line count.
Reply to Is Keystrokes a good company to work for
I have been in this business for 15+ years and I can honestly say, I have worked for quite a few different companies (Heartland - THE WORST OUT THERE; Softscript, about as bad and Spheris was so/so) and Keystrokes IS THE BEST!!! I love my account and my supervisor and they do NOT hassle you as long as you are working. I have never heard a negative thing from anyone in the company yet! I get paid on time and have taken time off in the last 3 months I have worked for them! I SAY GO FOR IT!! Okay, I will get off my  now!! Anyway.. Keystrokes ROCKS!! 
Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm
