An ad on the job seeker's for 12 cpl...yeah right. I hope that Janis Reed realized she just opened a can of worms and her inbox is going to be flooded. I just still wish I believed in Santa too. Everyone tell me the skinny if your brave enough to apply. I bet no one thought they'd see the day when they would become paranoid about seeing an ad for 12 cpl LOL.. At 6 cpl, I'm disgusted, at 7 cpl, I'm not impressed, at 8 cpl..maybe...if easy clinic account, at 9 cpl, taking a second look, at 10 cpl, you've got my attention, getting a litte skeptical that it isn't all ESL, 11 cpl, Right!!!!, but 12 cpl...NO FLIPPING WAY.. Keep me posted.

lol, that was a good one..hats off to ya

That is true, they cannot hold you to set hours;
however, if they only need coverage at night or weekends, then you say yay or nay to working then. They do not have to offer you work when it is convenient for you.
ESP is quite good. You might want to hold
off on spending your money on ShortHand since you don't already have your shortcuts loaded on it. I did buy it because I'm used to having it, but ESP is really good and easy to use. The only thing I'm using Shorthand for is my long normal reports, but it's not really necessary.
Hats off to you
I have been fortunate to find a company that only gave me 1 account that is always busy. I would have a hard time keeping it straight. Hospital A wants headings capped and bolded where hospital B wants you to wrap text to the next line after heading, hospital C wants it totally different. I think it would be so hard to keep it all straight. I think MQ should give you a raise so you would stay. 
hope ya got two of those hats...sm
cuz I agree with the other poster. I love working for MQ...sorry if this offends you! 
and I give you hats' off. I can only do rad. nm
nm
Wow, 3 jobs. Hats off to you! Are they local or national.NM
xxxx
GO FOR IT GIRLS nm

I took it to mean.......too good to be true. However,
I emailed just to see, right? LOL.......made dummies of all us, I guess.
2 good 2 b true? c msg
Posting on MTJobs has V.P. Transcription pay for a radiology accountn at 16/cpl for NO experience. Am I not reading this right?
If it looks too good to be true
that is what the story sounds like, millionaires all over the place in just 25 years. Yep, just sign me up today (Not).
Please tell me what company isnt???????
My, my...you girls are defensive!
Never said I was a W fan, did I? Don't get your panties in a wad!
Be nice girls
Can you tell me what VR is if it isnt editing?
NM
Thank you so much!! It sounded too good to be true! :)
nm
So very true. A good laugh. Thanks n/m
What sounds too good to be true - REALLY IS!!!
Gads! Three phone lines? What in the world could you possibly do with THREE phone lines?
What freaks me out about that posting is
$12.50 AN HOUR SALARY
STRONG ESL
At the end of the day, babe you will have earned every penny of that money. My head hurts just thinking of working that dictation puzzle.
Those dictators are the worst of the worst and they can't find anyone who wants to do it. ECK!
Not true. Good things have been said. sm
Actually only one person said anything negative and that was that they didn't pay, but others who have and are working for them countered that and said they do indeed pay.
I started with them last week and am happy so far. Haven't worked a full pay period so can't say for sure on the pay/don't pay issue.
They have an office in Texas and an office in India. If you don't like/want to work for a company that works with India also then it isn't for you, otherwise it has been good for me so far. The account I am on is pretty easy and I am being very productive. It is editing and transcription, from what I've seen about 1/3 standard transcription and 2/3 editing VR files.
Hope this helps.
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. (sm)
Nothing is as it appears to be there. I would look elsewhere.
Sure sounds too good to be true.
If anyone has any info I would sure be interested. TIA.
True but they have more good qualities
Too good to be true but any QA jobs available
Sounds too good to be true? It is.
Ok, so you are a provider and you want to eliminate your MT costs. So you either go with VR or EMR (template point and click). So you think if I just buy this program I can eliminate my costs of creating a record. So you fire your MT (s) and buy into this electronic thing. But then you find that you need to hire IT staff to make it keep chugging along. So you are replacing someone who does piece work by working by the line with someone who needs salary, PTO, sick pay, benefits, etc to keep that electronic thing going. So in the long run you aren't saving any money. In fact you are creating another boondoggle by having to install a body on your precious real estate and in the bargain you must take them to raise. This won't last long once these idiot providers realize the costs outweigh the benefits of going electronic.
Let's just get back to work girls
let bygones be bygones and let it go already. Let's get back to work and do our jobs!
AMEN... ISNT THIS THE TRUTH..
What a joke they are. Do they think we are stupid enough to accept 6-7 cpl as an IC on top of doing our own taxes etc.. I think..NOT....
Never got paid from Priority, and neither did at least two other girls I know of.
Can we say censorship, boys and girls??
x
are you positive the prefix of your name isnt
something other than ship, but rather ________addict??? LMAO
Yes, that was horrible and I know a few girls that still work there...
and it is still horrible...You would think they would have gotten that taken care of by now...
I feel if it sounds too good to be true,
there usually is a catch..susan
I don't think that's true or fair. Most of the posts about KS are good. sm
I work there, have worked there a while and am very happy and know many, many others who have been there a while and are very happy too. They have improved rather than fallen apart as many companies seem to do. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a fair, caring, well-paying, high line count, good benefits providing company. I am in acute care but know many others in radiology and ortho and clinic. Yes, we compare notes with each other (many came from Edix and MRC) and everyone is happy. They keep getting new accounts and the new accounts are getting bigger and bigger.
I agree that OT pay (or lack of) was a problem but when they said no more OT work, many complained to the point that they said to work the production you want.
It is disheartening to sit back and read posts that are so negative when I know the opposite to be true. It can chase people away from working for a wonderful company. I think we see more posts because there are more employees and because they are always hiring due to new accounts. I also know that every manager, including the owner, that I have ever talked to, really cares and really wants to continue to make Keystrokes better and better. I think they are doing a great job.
As for running out of work, I know that there are ups and downs in transcription and they try to be fair during those times, spreading the work around. I also know that sometimes when a new account starts, the volume will be go up and down because they are working on the perfect staffing mix.
If you are having a problem, not getting enough work, etc. you really should talk to them. They will bend over backwards to make it work for you.
Good for you!! Its true, IC status is a joke!
nm
knew it sounded too good to be true...nm
knew it sounded too good to be true...nm
Agree!! Sounded too good to be true.
You do not get that kind of pay and only require 1 year experience!
isnt express scribe free? sm
i had to purchase my own bos and the software/pedal they told me to purchase was $129 (with their discount). they did provide the spellchecker, drug book, and Smartype though, so that was good. thanks for the fyi.
Isnt this the company with intermittent payment
x
Goes to show ya MQ isnt the only place with problems. SM
Please take no offense, just stating a fact. I hope you do find something that works for you. Higher prices for everything are getting to most everyone.
Are you women or little girls? Free speech..
is just that. My opinion is allowed here as is yours; remember, they are OPINIONS. 
Excuse typo girls and boys
OOP not OUP that would be.
LOL
Very true. Good reason to never burn bridges in this biz.

Good post, Amber. And true, too. All professions
restructuring. But anyone with eyes can see that even though the MT profession has changed, there's still a TON of work out there. You know, it behooves the employers out there to have doom and gloom run rampant and the MTs thinking that they can't do any better than 6-8 cpl. Sometimes I wonder if they're the ones spreading most of the doom and gloom, and then some naive MTs are picking it up and shouting it too!
I've always heard if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. n/m

Just because it is American run doesn't mean it isnt offshore owned.
:+
girls - the line count 'ajustments' are commonplace and
not limited to TT.
Can you say, "not an authorized representative", boys and girls?
NM
Wallah isnt even the correct prounciation of "voila".
x
sm, please see the message above posted by calling all girls. The two of you are motivated
and probably should hook up. Maybe you can get something going here.
TT has paid maternity leave? Sounds too good to be true..
Just wondering if anyone has used this paid maternity benefit? Is there a catch? This is such a rare benefit now days it just seems too good to be true.
I understand. It is a shame isnt it. I hope they sleep well at night.
