They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm

Give it time, sweetie, give it time.

I am there now, and pay is on time with plenty of work nm.

I have plenty of time because I get my work done

and I'm making 40 K a year and I don't need a pity party.  If ever I were to run out of work, I'd get another job.  But since I've been in this business for 20+ years, I figured maybe you wanted everyone to say awww poor you!


Everyone is cutting back on the holidays!  Who isn't?


You said you can't feed your kids.  I said find another job.  What's so bad about that?


You people need to toughen up!  By the way, I am not the only one that posted for you move on.


 


Great benefits, plenty of work, pay on time
Depending on experience, slightly above-average pay. I used to be with a company where I would have given my right arm for those few simple things. As for the posts below regarding line count, IF this (or any other concern) was affecting my work, there's a new invention called a telephone that comes in handy when wanting to address concerns (and their phone number is on their website).
webmedx has plenty of work all the time. The posters who sm
complain only have 1 or 2 accounts and DON'T want more. There is overtime today on 9 different accounts, 4 of which have OT until further notice. Now, does that sound like Webmedx is out of work? I know I work there, have for several years and have NEVER run out of work.
Yes! I have plenty of work 99% of the time with the exception of a very few days sm
when it was slow everywhere but nothing that has ever affected my check drastically. I have been there for 6 years.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm

I love it there...best place I have worked...plenty of work, pay on time, excellent communication...
wonderful supervisors...who could ask for more?
Awesome small company! Paid on time every 2 weeks. Plenty of work!
Owner is great. I would recommend this company to anyone who wanted to be paid what they are worth and paid on time!
Give yourself a little time ---
 to get used to it; it really is pretty user-friendly.  If you're having problems, give the trainer a call; she's always been very willing to help me out, and give me little 'tweaks' to use. 
I would give them a little time....
Lots of things going on at the current time with the new hires and new accounts, plus the weekend is coming up. I would think the beginning of next week would be reasonable to hear back. Good luck!
Give yourself a little time; however, just
consider the transcription part of it......do you enjoy the worktypes given, can you make a decent line count....do you like the platform? If you answer yes, then give yourself some time. All new jobs are overwhelming at first.

Personally, I can usually tell if the job is for me within, at most, 1 week.

Good luck with whatever you decide.


Give it time
When did you start? Give it a couple of weeks, it does get better. Will it ever be as lucrative as straight typing, no, but it's not that bad either. I actually like editing better now. I just try to work a little faster to make up for the slight difference in my paycheck.

Patience is a virtue.
She cannot give up her full-time job
currently because she is testing the waters.  There are a lot of posters on these boards stating they feel like job hoppers.  I do not think she is giving anyone a bad name.  You personally make your own bed.  You must be QA.  QA can get on a power trip and just never let up.  I have not tested or worked for a company yet that does not ping you on something or other.  It is just insane out there.  No wonder people want to get out of this field.  Posters slamming other posters is negative and certainly not positive.  We should be empowering each other, not assuming variables on other MT's situations when we really do not know.  No offense, but that is just plain nastiness in my opinion. 
Give yourself time. You are familiar with
your old account. You have to give yourself the time to adjust to new formatting, dictators, etc. with any new job.
Just give them time. Remember, there
are 100s of people seeing these ads and sending in resumes.
It's not that the pay is never on time, it's just that they don't give you an exact date; o

By flex your time, do you mean the window they give you (sm)
or something else? I can't even get the hours in during the window for running out of work. Do you just mean make up time during the week? thanks.
Give it a rest, willya? You say that every time sm
you post about Webmedx. Maybe they were short on work when you were here, but we sure aren't now... (radiology accounts excluded - I can't speak to that).

i think the opposite, give the boot to those who are wasting everyone's time and just don't ge
the quality dropping also drops our pay for good MTs who care about quality.
Give TT some time to see if they can find cheaper plans

I also am greatly upset by the insurance hike, but I have decided to give them some time to see if they can come up with something more affordable.  Like many of you, I have to insure my whole family, so this increase is astronomical. 


The grass is not always greener.  Changing jobs means switching out problems, and yes, some problems are easier to deal with than others.  My last job (Amphion), I was so stressed out, I lost a lot of quality of life.  I have young children.  I can't afford to be a stressed out freak just like I can't afford the expensive health insurance.  When I moved to TT, I regained my quality of life.  I'm not so tired anymore, and I'm able to be a better mom.  That means the world to me.  I'll hang in patiently to see if another option can be found for the health insurance. 


Give it time, they'll get to you. The grand plan is

my shoulder, it's a block(head).  The games they play, the excuses/reasons are old, worn out, and it's aggravating to sit there staring at that NJA cyclops when others are getting the work.  Dog-eat-dog is not conducive to a good work environment.  We didn't create the situation but we bear the brunt. 


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?
Give it some time. I think some people aren't working today and the ice

Yes, pay on time. We give a 2-week schedule. Accounts pretty good

right now plenty of work, also plenty of ESLs.nm

Plenty of BOTH on my end, I do traditional have plenty of work, always

Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.

That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer  to send theirs back.

I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
They had MTs - plenty of them
The problem was - trying to keep them.  As above, checks constantly bounced.  At payday time - all the managers would disappear, as would the owners.  When this happens every other payperiod  - I think the company has financial issues.  This is not to mention,  he was outsourcing this account, about 60% of the work, half of this was sent through to the hospital as he did not want to pay editors to edit the crap.  Again, several issues.  They make everything sound great - but once you start, reality sets in and quick.  
I have plenty and then some
Hello

I have plenty with them. I work on a radiology acount though so it is not quite the same. I have a secondary acute care account, but never seem to get around to typing on it as I have so much to do on the radiology one. Most of the time the updates I get for the accounts I see fluctuate but mostly have work. I know each account is different. Etranplus has its bad points like any other company. I have certain things I do not like. I have also had way worse experiences. I have found it to be a good fit for me for 15 months now and finally got to do my first love of radiology. I wish you the best. If you need to get a secondary account and then you can decide to keep two or leave one or the other when things stabilize for you. Good luck!
There are plenty....
...but they may require that you know how to spell the word 'editing' correctly.
yes plenty what ya need
one part timer
Same here, plenty now.
Did my time card while waiting for the work to come in. Now I am buried. Feast or famine.
I'm doing ME and there seems to be plenty.
Fairly new and not sure how the MT or QA side of things might be.
you seem to have plenty
of time to post, must be due to all the cash you have socked away.
Plenty

I have plenty.

Plenty here too
A bit slow a few weeks ago, but not too bad, didn't effect my pay, just adjusted my schedule a little bit. Now have more than enough work. If you have no work for months at a time, why would you stay?
Plenty of work

OSI has plenty of work to go around...
...but since hurricane katrina hit, things have been kind of slow. I think they have a big account in Louisiana that got hit pretty hard and it shut down. Since then they have had to move MTs from that account to other accounts. I've been running a little low on work too (just every now and then), but I like OSi so I'm willing to stick it out. I'm sure everything will get back up to speed soon.
If you have plenty of experience and don't need...
any help, they are fine.  They don't have any QA.  You are pretty much on your own.  Do your work on time, and do it well, and you'll be okay. 
Yep, I have plenty of backups, too. nm
