Good for you, if that is true. It is really a losing game. Wouldn't advise anyone to pursue it.

You have to lie a lot, wouldn't you agree? It is all bait and switch for the recruiters. They promise a lot, but the companies do not follow through. Care to say who it is you are a hiring manager for? LOL. Never heard it called that before.

It is a losing game. They make next to nothing, get paid for a warm body count. Losers. Recruiters

I wouldn't advise anyone to work there! It was...sm
sure not my cup of tea. Platform is FN, which I didn't find production oriented, and I wasn't crazy about their accounts, either. We parted after 3 days!
Good advise - Thank You! nm

Losing good employees
They are about to lose another one...I'm a long time employee and just can't take it anymore. I work on multiple platforms and still have no work and the work I do have is 90% ESLs. I went from about 20% to 30% ESLs to suddenly 80% to 90% ESLs. You tell me these hospitals have no American doctors? It must all be going to India but you tell me why the Indians are not doing the Indian doctors? Wouldn't that be easier for them? I have had no raise ever since I've been here. Always told I'm at the top of the pay limit. I'm giving my notice right after Thanksgiving.
I wouldn't do it if I were you. Promises that never come true! nm

Are any MTs still with Precyse that complained of losing their good accts a few months ago? If so,

I had applied but I decided that I did not want to pursue with them because...
The owner or manager had contacted me about testing further etc.. When I work during the day, I do not answer my phones and return the calls when I take breaks. Well, he was quite cornered and bothered that I was so difficult to get a hold of, which I took it as not at my beck and call attitude. Just in my opinion, I felt that there was possibly a control issue and I was married to a control freak and would never go there again.. FOR ANYONE.. but that was just my personal experience.
Thanks for the input on Focus!! I will not pursue it. no msg

OK. That's enough info. to make me decide not to pursue it for now. Thanks again. NM

Sounds good to me! Wouldn't it be wonderful to (sm)
type something every once in a while that is a little more interesting! Might help me keep my eyes open during the day.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..........
Yes. I wouldn't classify them as good or bad. Pay was okay. Account I was on was okay. Didn&#
like my supervisor very much. She was kind of disorganized and didn't really communicate all that effectively. All in all, pretty comparable to other places I've worked. There was a problem with running out of work and when you are an employee instead of IC you are expected to sit there and keep checking for work during your shift which kind of sucked cause you didn't get paid for basically being on-call.
Good place to start if you have no experience but you wouldn't want to stay there.
Unique experience working with and for the Indians and that's all I can say about that. Just realize that when you say NO.. because of the language barrier to them it means that yes, I will do it. LOL..I was new to the online biz too and they were my first job. In hindsight, YIKES.. but I stayed 7 months and then moved on.
My job is working out splendidly, I wouldn't say big bucks, but good pay and nice people. sm
I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends. I am going to the job during the week daytime hours. I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing. Thanks for your concern. But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines. I really am enjoying the people the place too. I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can!
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).
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.
More than likely, I would advise you to
Of course, I don't know specifics about your current situation, but the other poster has pretty muched nailed it in summing up nationals. Any chance your current job would let you work from home? That would probably be your best bet.
Good luck to you!
My advise would be to get out of there
Any company that does this is dishonest, and they are not a place you want to work for. I have worked for a lot of companies, some not so great ones, but none of them ever did this. There are much better companies out there who will not screw with your line counts and will leave you alone to do your work. Good luck!
No but thanks for the advise- I will (nm)
nm
I don't have any advise but I too
x
Need your advise
Is it easy to make good Line count working on OP notes? I have been offered a position to work on OP notes. I have some experience with OP notes. So, just wanted to know if I can make a decent Line count with it? Appreciate any help.
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!

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!
I would advise you to post
your resume on the MTstars resume bank, which is linked at the top of the Job Seekers board. State exactly what you're looking for, then let the little MTSOs come to you. The smaller MTSOs generally do not post job ads because they get overwhelmed with hundreds of unqualified applicants. Good luck with it!
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

I think they are working for the companies they advise us against!!
I am beginning to think they are working for the companies they advise us against so we won't take their work !!
OK - I'll wait - thanks for the advise! nm

I would strongly advise you to reconsider
Please read all the archives here... too much to mention and the messages tend to get removed by the administrator because they are so bad. In a nutshell extremely unqualified management in most cases, promote friends and newbies to positions like team leads and QA, inconsistent and wrong QA half the time, on and on and on. Please don't bother with them. I promise you that you'll regret it if you do. Please read the archives here.
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
Girls, hold onto your hats. Say it isnt so...if something is too good to be true..it usually is.
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. 
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.
Thanks so much for the wonderful advise. I accepted the position.

Just to advise, that company does not have access to MTStars
/
advise is a verb - advice is a noun
Just because a word is in spell-check does not mean it has been used properly. Advice is a noun, i.e., I need your advice. Advise is a verb, i.e., I advise you to learn proper grammar. This is basic elementary school grammar.
I would advise anyone doubting the validity of the lawsuit
To go back into the archives, at least 6-10 weeks, and check out GPs posts regarding why the work was low at TT and its direct correlation to Dictaphone. While this may not on the surface appear slanderous, it was presented as being fact, not opinion. If her assumptions about TT and Dictaphone were incorrect, and TT can prove this, it is indeed libel. I don't know GP and I enjoy her posts. I'm just a realist/fatalist and see things in black and white most of the time. I'd say it about myself had I left myself wide open and vulnerable.
As for the the unnamed 'Jane Does,' perhaps one of those is that person who types in all caps and says TT 'steals' work from their MTs, 'frauds' the line counts, etc. IMHO, that IS libelous and quite damaging to a company's reputation. What scares off an MT more than the thought of being cheated on their lines or having the good dictators' reports 'cherry picked' by the leads, leaving them with the dung no one else wants?
I'm sure I'll be flamed for my opinions, and frankly I don't care. Libel is what it is; presenting something as fact when it is not fact, and if the person/entity can prove otherwise, they most assuredly have a very good lawsuit.
I am very sorry GP is going through this and I wish her well; however, I cannot condemn TT for taking legal action if she was posting erroneous information as first-hand knowledge of fact.
Freedom of speech is one thing; passing on inaccurate information as fact is an entirely different ballgame.
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm
