them for almost a year (March will be a year). Lots of work. Does not offshore. Pays well. You will read good and bad. I just have no complaints at this time and I have been doing MT for 16 years. Good luck in whatever decision you make.

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
Great company, better than average pay, good
benefits. The account that they are hiring for is a very challenging, high volume ESL account. Some people do okay on it, others just aren't able to do the work. The platform is Lotus Notes, but basically you type in Word, use SpeedType (same as ShortHand). They provide all hardware/software. They are pretty strict on schedule, not much leeway, though if you need off for an appointment there isn't a problem. QA is strict, minimum QA score is 98.5, 1200 lines/day. Good tech support. You get your QA'd reports back daily. Lately there has been a lot of OT on the weekends.
They are making a transition to something similar to VR. They are starting out slow with one account, one work type, but within a year hope to transition more accounts.
They pay for downtime. Pay is DD, always on time and correct.
Great company with good rate offer
nice people in the management too.
Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company

I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
Great company -- good benefits, average pay, easy-to-achieve sm
incentive tier, ExText platform, pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks, always on time. The people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees, which is a nice plus. I have been there since October and am very happy. Of course, one man's paradise is another man's hell it seems at times, but it is a good fit for me.
Good luck! 
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
Absolutely great INTELLIGENT post. Thanks! :-)
And the poster going on about starting schools and training of MTs, to ease transition. The poster needs to read up more as this is way old news. Its happening right now.
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Absolutely was a good decision! sm
yes, I had a bit of a slow down yesterday, but I had more than enough work available yesterday afternoon and evening, which is when I work anyway.
Absolutely! I had a good hospital job that paid okay but -(sm)
left it cuz they wouldn't let me work from home. And unfortunately most of the services are located in states with lower cost of living, thus lower pay. I live in an expensive state, and should be able to make a wage that reflects the cost of living HERE.... not in the Middle of Nowhere, USA.
I don't know why hospitals haven't figured that out... they could have full-time, QUALITY local MTs, without the cost of housing them. Yet they'd still be available to come in to the facility when needed.
Someones credit has absolutely nothing to do with how good a worker they are.
There are more people now days that have low credit scores compared to those that do not. A lot of different scenarios can put you with bad credit like major medical bills.
I don't think people should be judged on their work habits by something that may be beyond their control.
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
there is absolutely nothing on this company = sm
nothing came up, even in the posts below.
Oh absolutely! I agree 100%. Especially when it comes to my company
the "company who shall not be named"!  Yep, the fabrications that can start flying out on that company are actually funny by the time the flaming thread gets done, but sure must work and scare off a load of MTs, though, actually, by the looks of the new hires, nobody believes them! I think it works against "those" type of posters either way - the extremist cheerleaders and the extremist bashers. They actually do more harm than good for their individual causes, because they sound so NUTS!! 
If anyone absolutely LOVES their company ... sm
I would love to hear about it! I have 15 years experience, 14 of that acute care, need employee status with benefits. I'm with the BIG transcription company now that is steadily taking away everything good about being an at-home transcriptionist :( Have been there 12 years.
Any suggestions? It's sure confusing going through all of these different companies, trying to figure out pros and cons.
Thanks, I would love to hear from anyone who works for a great company!
if anyone absolutely loves their company
I used to work for MQ but quit over 2 years ago. I now work for EMTSonline and absolutely love it. Work is plentiful. They are all very supportive. I absolutely love my work again.
I would ABSOLUTELY NOT work for a company that is associated with her. nm
I dont know this company but I would absolutely hold into a job I had until I was sure these
 companies arent playing games. I dont trust any of them anymore. 
Absolutely the worst company I have worked for. SM
Extremely disorganized, outdated platform (in terms of MedRiteXL), unprofessional management.
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)
What type of work do they have? Any op reports? Appreciate any info.
Whatever that company is, they absolutely do not have access to our resume bank.

Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
The only company I have ever worked for is Soft Script so I have absolutely nothing to compare sm
it to. I had my own accounts, lost them and so went with the first company to high resistance me! I've been with them a few years now and certainly have had issues but with absolutely nothing to compare it to, I have always assumed this was just par for the course....now after reading all these negative comments about the management and the platform, etc., I am wondering what I'm missing by staying with SS...how much worse is this company than most? Would it be prudent to start interviewing with other companies and if so, which ones are better than SS. I would so appreciate any input....I support myself and believe me if I can find a better company where I could make a bit more money...I would be there yesterday!
Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.

Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Good for you!!!! I think that is great
I wish i would have had a training opportunity like that! You go girl!!! 
Small company GREAT COMPANY
Axolotl is a WONDERFUL company with great benefits and competitive pay. We have maybe 100 MTs but are growing rapidly.
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?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!
x
TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
Great to hear! Good for you!
:)
Spheris, not so great. HS was good.
Hey halfpass...I was there for over 5 years. I know where you are coming from...I was with HS prior to the buyout myself. Sad to see how things changed.
Great .. that's good news. Thanks so much. :-) nm
Great, good luck! nm

TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

Thats good and great, always consult a lawyer.

Good! Great people to work for!

Webmedx is great for me; good benefits, sm
PTO, reasonable insurance cost. Plenty of work, decent platform (although we had some trouble last week but that's rare). I realize one company can't be right for everyone, but Webmedx has been great for me. 8 years and counting.
And a great opinion! Good post. nm

Thats great. I was hoping for good things
Which accounts are you working? Do you like them? Are you making alot of money? Does Hils pay on time, every time?
Thanks
I think it's great the 3 of us got a good feeling and accepted....
Good luck to all of us who choose to accept the offer.
CHEERS!!!
You should feel great now! All good news.
It's a relief for all of us Ex-Qers who are used to being abused.
Wow .. it's great to hear from you! Thanks for the good wishes. sm
The thing with eTransPlus was not a good fit for me either. I think it is probably a good company, it just didn't work for me as my start date kept getting pushed back, I was running out of work, there were program glitches, etc. Sometimes some things are just not meant to be. I hope you get on with Keystrokes again. I know it sounds kind of gushy, but I have found them to be truly wonderful people. I don't need someone to constantly sing my praises or anything -- decent pay and plenty of work is enough -- but it is kind of nice to hear thank you every now and then, and know that if you have a problem arise, someone will listen and try to help you.
Again, thanks for posting -- great to hear from you! Good luck!
