Good question - I've always wondered that myself.

I don't think the companies want us to know how work is assigned, though.

I've wondered the same -
Could they be building up to sell out high? Seems to be a scramble to grab up companies, a race between us and any other country with enough money.
But what do I know, I'm only here for the food(Ever After).
I've often wondered if... sm
the transcriptionists that do 2000 lines a day are not rushing through for production sake and sending reports in with mistakes and not looking things up. I verify everything and fix the template to look neat and tidy since the template I work on needs a lot of fixing before I can even start typing. I always wondered if being too obsessive about it was one of the reason I never seem to make any lines. Also, when I have first started with a few different companies and they sent me example reports I have spotted mistakes in them, and then I figured the initials on the bottom of the example report must be from one of their high producers. 
I've often wondered the same thing...
Why offshore to save money if you're just going to have to hire editors to correct the mistakes? Sounds like it DUH-feats the whole purpose of it to me!
I've wondered the same thing...
Sure has been quiet since they started bouncing checks, not paying their MTs at all, etc. I just assumed they had changed their name and were incognito somewhere here.
I've wondered about the same thing if...
the IT guy came in remotely and cleaned off anything related to the company and its activities so you were just left with a clean system. Sometime you just like a computer that works great and it would be nice to own it for cheap when leaving a company rather than them paying for shipping back and doing who knows what with it as a used computer when they get it back. Just my thoughts, nothing I have ever done or asked for.
What good does it do? They've lied, they've betrayed us.
They've taken all they are going to take from me. I am not going to waste any more time being angry. I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs. I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.
It is time to pick up and move on. I think mgmt will reap what they sow. For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.
I've been an MT for 28 and it has been good
teach one of our daughters, 21 years old, who doesn't know what she wants to do, MT. I told him no way. For one, she can make a lot more money as a waitress/bartender than she would be able to make typing the same hours, especially when first starting. And the future doesn't look so bright for MT, so I'd rather she just decide on something, get a degree, and go with that and not get sidetracked by MT like I did. I can't say I haven't made a lot of money with MT (own accounts for many years now), but if I hadn't had that, I probably would have gone back to school and finished my degree.
So far, so good! I've been with them only a short while, but
I'm very pleased so far. Steady work, low to average DSL's, paid right on time, fantastic platform. Negatives are that the do offshore to Phillipines (but haven't seen any impact on work load or type of work that I get) and paid only for characters and headers - no spaces. Even with the no spaces, the wonderful platform makes up for it. So far, it's great but I worked for a company in the past that yanked the rug out after a few months. So far, no indication of that at Cymed though. Good luck in whatever choice you make though.
Mostly Indians. I've never seen anything good
posted above them.
I've never been good at doing the math... SM
Thanks for doing it for me. The definitely is way too low.
I've seen mostly good things on here...
I just signed on with them and am excited to get started. :D
I've never worked for such a good company
I was contacted immediately after I tested. I wanted part-time work at night to try them out, so I worked 20 hours a week for them. After a month, I quit my other full-time job and went with them full-time. I've never seen such a fast platform. The benefits are incredible compared to other companies and the work is excellent. Good communication and accessability with co-workers and supervisors. Extra bonuses for what we had to do normally at other jobs. Direct deposit. company contributions to 401K. Earn vacation money from your first day on the job, and you don't lose it when/if you leave. I'm extremely happy with them.
i've heard nothing good about transolutions

Either would be a good choice. I've worked for both.
In the archives, both companies have good and bad comments. You have to weigh one against the other and whether you think someone is just disgruntled or not. Both are better than MQ or Sph.
I've heard good things about both...sm
but which one pays better? I'm curious to know too as I thought about applying for eMTS. Let us know. TIA
I've been there for 3 years - yes, good company
xx
Pretty good from what I've heard...
A friend of mine works for them. Said they are strict on accuracy and line counts but are also somewhat flexible in schedule.
I've head a lot of good things...sm
About Axolotl. Do you happen to have any info. on which specialties they are hiring for? I haven't seen any job ads for them.
I also heard something about them not paying for spaces. Can you comment on that?
Thank you!
I've heard good things about MDI.
Sorry, I'm not part time so that's all I can offer. Felt I should write something as poster below didn't seem to realize this company board is for asking and discussing companies.
I've been there a few years. I think it's a good company.
Although I feel that ALL MT pay is far too low, Acusis pays better than most. Several accounts are teaching hospitals, some regular hospitals, and some clinics. Most of the time they have plenty of work, except right after the Holidays.
I find the management to be VERY nice to work with - a welcome change from my old situation, which was horrible. Excellent techs, too. The SoftScript platform they use works well. Sound quality is good. If you email a supervisor or other person there, I've found they respond in a timely manner.
The pay varies based on the account; more for harder ones, less for easy ones. They ask for feedback from MTs, and are appreciative to get it.
Anyway, judging by what I read on this board about other companies, I think one reason you don't hear much about Acusis is that most people that work for them are happy with them.
TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM
about them, but am going to start with a very open mind. I am looking forward to it.

Any good info on MDI-FL. Do they have IC status? I've been searching for sm
the past 15 minutes and have found nothing!! I read somewhere someone said you have to have tough skin to work for MDI-FL. I wonder what this means! :)
Thanks to anyone with any info on this company. Trying to leave MQ and make some decisions here. Help out a fellow MT. Love ya. LOL
I've always heard if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. n/m

Do you mean Axolotl? If so, I've heard many good things about them. nm

I've had a lot of bad ones...finally found one that's pretty good sm
It is a struggle though!! I have worked for several that stunk up the place!! LOL Been cheated on line counts, etc. My best advice is to see if there are any companies near you, smaller, home-based MTSOs who have fewer employees. A way where you can actually get to know your employer. I found one not far from my house who advertised on Craigslist and she has been pretty good to work with.
You'll get over the good feelings. I've been here over a year now. (sm)
And if you had seen the subtle changes they have been making, you may agree they are moving in the direction of becoming the new MQ (pre sale to India).
That's what I wondered. Thanks.

I wondered too!!
I found it a couple of weeks ago but nobody was in there I think it would be a great thing to utilize!!
I wondered about that....
I've went through the testing and everything, just waiting for a call or email! :)
I wondered.....
I missed the earlier posts because I've been working and haven't had a chance to read much on here. I left there about 2 years ago and am glad I did. I feel for those who are still there, especially dealing with the cesspool, and now this, if it is true.
Thanks... that's what I wondered.
It wasn't me actually. It was someone else and the story they told me. I just wondered if there wasn't something more than just the 97-something percent, one time review that was the reason. It doesn't really make sense.
Just saw the ad and wondered
no message.
Ok. Just wondered.
Maybe that's why I have no work today??? lol
I wondered about that...
It doesn't say anything about direct deposit on their website or their ad. Thanks for the info!
I have wondered
the same thing myself...what happens to other benefits when there is little to no work?
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm
Bet no good QA now - they've chased them away by bouncing checks and lying.
:-(
I've heard good and bad, just want facts from the horses mouth.
I have also heard great things about this company, only recently have I heard bad things. If they post on this message board they supposedly do not offshore work. The moderator would definitely have something to say about that, don't you think?
Does that make sense to you?
I've been looking for years. It's always a mix anymore. Good stuff gets kept in house. nm

I've been there a couple of years and it has been a good fit for me, very flexible with my schedu
as long as production is being met. We are definitely a growing company and sounds like you have the experience that we need. Paychecks have been always on time for me, direct deposit.
OMG!!! I wondered why I didn't see her on IM.
She told me that she did not like using the IM but to still always let her or anyone in quality know if we had a question. She was very patient with me and gave me so much feedback, like all the time. It was a hard account, lot of ESL but she knew all about it. She was awesome. I don't know who to ask now for questions.
Wondered the same thing myself.
Are health care benefits 100% paid by employee?
I wondered that, too. There was a number in
I wonder?
I always wondered what the going rate for rad was
At W I only make 7.5 cpl doing rad, but I didn't have much experience, so I thought it was fair.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
That's all mine had on it too. I wondered about that, even though I don't need family.

Wondered where my better dictators were when I got on at 3 a.m. this morning.
It is really irritating when pets are put the good/best dictators in their pool and I am put the worst. Glad you GOT your lines, because I took the beating doing what we should have been sharing, report-wise, rather than leads filling pools of their pets with the good stuff!
Thanks for the info. I wondered about the insurance.
I know a few years ago the insurance was really high so I never applied. Does anyonoe know how much for family insurance? What insurance is it? Blue Cross, Aetna etc...? Thanks again
I noticed the ad a few times before too. Just wondered about that. nm

Good for you. I've gained 10 pounds since high school graduation in 1976.
That's funny! I wondered how you could know ahead of time! nm
