Office Staff TT
I think they are more aware than ever with the new accts. that more office and management staff is needed. Lately they've promoted a couple from within the company to act as lead transcriptionists to take some of the burden off of the acct. manager and others in the supervisory position to give them more time to answer other questions. There is Eyvonne, who I think is the actual supervisor and Diana, Donna, Nancy and another one I do not know the name of that are doing jobs that once only one person was doing. I think it's super they did this. It helps out a lot having someone always there to ask questions if you need an answer. Eyvonne is always responsive and Donna and Diana are simply fabulous. They are so kind and try to answer your questions quick. The other night I had a question and emailed the lead MT address and even though Donna did not know the answer, her answer was I don't know but I'll find out for you and she DID. How many times do you hear of someone saying that and really doing it? Not often. They needed to do this a long time ago. I've only been with TT for almost a year but I really like it here and they seem to really be conscious that we are what makes this company work. Agree with you too, I love all the work recently.
I worked for them also and the greatest office staff. .. nm

It was stated the leak came from office staff.
There was also the issue of an MT getting a QA file that wasn't hers, the lended more fuel to the fire. I know a few more things that I can't say without pointing the finger at myself that also has me concerned.
I guess until someone gets up the nerve to ask the MTSO we'll never know.
My MTSO only gives bonus to office staff. MTs do

their QA is rude. The office staff will slap you right in the head. don't think about it.
they are all nicey nice until you don't sniff the right way, then WHAMMO
Are the office staff male or female? The reason I ask is
that in India women are generally second class citizens. I'm sure they are becoming westernized, but when people marry in India the wife becomes a possession.
I wondered if the office staff were male and the reason for their lack of social graces is more because of culture than anything. Regardless not pleasant and doesn't matter why.
LOVE IT! Been here 2 weeks and am already up to my past production. The office staff are
wonderful, I love my account and am so glad I made this move.
in addition, while the office staff are partying, visiting with each, breaking whenever they want to
with pay, we are struggling to pound those cold keys with our cold fingers with our break drinks, meals at our desk . . . no time to take off due to no pay for any time taking off for a break or lunch. We are grabbing all the work we can get now before another MT gets it, as our paychecks continue to dwindle due to VR/ASR and leads and others taking the easier dictators from us (those who have ever transcribed a word in their life) and passing all the other down to the piecemeal worker, the MT.
TransTech sent an Amex gift cheque and a lovely card signed by all the office staff.
Very thoughtful and a nice surprise. I love these people.
Company has been steadily growing, great bennies,...
I've never had a late paycheck. Pay is very competetive, PTO, holiday pay etc. I believe there is more than one platform on which to transcribe - depending upon the account. I work on the main platform - not glitchy for me. No problems reaching my line count. I'm quite content there, no plans on leaving.
For every single company out there, you'll find happy employees and not happy ex-employees. Deciding on an employer is a hard decision to make. Good luck with your choice, no matter what it ends up being.
Great bennies but extremely disorganized and out of work a lot. nm

Read that post below on hospitals? They're definitely good for great bennies! nm

Staff is great-no work and too many platform issues.
nm
Tech staff great, yes you can adjust speed. (nm)

You made a good choice. The staff is great, program simple. Welcome! nm

Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
Great platform, horrible company
NM
Transhealth is very organized, great benefits..horrible platform
Maybe it was just me but i never made it through training. It certainly could have been a lot easier than having to open up 3-4 programs to get going. I found it to be time-consuming and in a production-based atmosphere, this did not cut it. On the other hand, maybe others think the program is wonderful, but I sure did not. I have used Dictaphone EXText and that is way easier.
The staff and the attitudes of the staff. Very helpful, cheerful. (sm)
They seem to work extremely hard to balance everything out, enough work, enough MTs and always making sure they let the MTs know they are a valuable asset to the company. That means a lot. Not to mention the bennies are pretty good, too.
great office
I was tranferred to the SantaAna office permanently over 8 months ago,(my office closed and I did not want to go to Foxboro for fear of lack of work) before that I had been helping the SantaAna office for over 2 years in 2 of their accts. I was doing this because my office in the NE had no work. I always have work and am very happy with the office, especially after talking to some of the MT's that were transferred to Foxboro and Amherst. I really lucked out by going to a CA office
Horrible, horrible, horrible place. Unlike the other poster
I actually worked there. Sound quality is horrendous. The account I had was the worst ESL I've ever had and I do 85% ESL so I have no problems doing ESL. Frequent management turnover. When I was doing QA the work was so bad that I pretty much had to redo every report. I hear about how well they pay, but they don't pay that well and certainly not enough to compensate for all the other stuff.
Worked there 2 years ago..horrible, horrible, horrible.
Would totally avoid them at all costs.
SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm
nm
horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.
That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
Horrible accounts, horrible sound quality, etc
The only time SoftScript would not be wonderful is if you aren't doing your job. They are an extremely professional company. Sounds like someone may not have lived up to their standards.
Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.
Horrible company, horrible dictators, ESL
at its absolute worst, sound quality horrible. The MTs I did QA for were horrendous. They made up words, obviously didn't use a spellchecker, couldn't get the hang of something as simple as copying and pasting Preop diagnoses to postop diagnoses and would type same again and again. QA manager would send out updates for new drugs, equipment and have things misspelled, frequently got e-mails that evidently were sent because someone wanted to feel important, absolutely no useful information, management problems, lots and lots of turnover, including management. The CEO has no clue about transcription and is in it for the money. After talking with him you feel like you need a shower.
Horrible platform. Horrible communication.
Horrible people who say one thing and then when you do what they say, they get mad and act ugly.
Enough of a bone?
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state. The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit. The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone.
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm

Don't know about bennies but I believe
employee line requirements are 6000 per pay period for part time and 11000 for full-time.
Also, it's spelled Chronicle Transcripts.
They seem to be a good, solid company to work for.
Pay and Bennies
This company is not on the upend pay scale as of yet seeing as how they charge the hospitals 11 cents per line, but they are consistent with work and have promised future raises as they become more established. I started out in the apprentice program making 2 cents per line for <98% and 3 cents per line >98%. Some on here scream about working for that low of pay but I just don't feel I'm deserving of regular pay until I have the experience. After one month I was given a pay raise that brings me up to the regular pay status, so it was well worth it for me. As for the bennies, I am part time so I can't help you there. They have many different packages for the type of work and experience you have, so you would just have to submit your information to them to find out what they would offer.
I know many on this board have been burned by many a national, but I like CorT and the people who run it. They are genuine and helpful. We'll see where the future takes them. I plan to be on board with them as they grow!
Pay and Bennies
Thanks for the info. Even though the pay sounds low I like how they actually give the raises and it sounds like you are appreciated for what you do and don't get lost in the shuffle. I've been with MQ for 7 years and have only had 1 raise in that time, and that took 1 year to actually happen from the time I started asking for it. I don't mind MQ that much, it's just that my speciality is ERs and I get very little ER work these days. I also like the fact that CorT is in Ohio, just about an hour and 15 minutes from where I live. I'll check it out further. Thanks again for the info!
Bennies
Yeah well, having work to do is the name of the game. I paid for my benefits at MQ and didn't get anything but a crappy paycheck, went through a lot of my savings to boot. I pay my own hospitalization and I save my money for time off when I want it. Anyone who works for benefits pays for them eventually. Get smart and smell the coffee. And I make more per line than I did at MQ. So, your problem is????
BENNIES
Well, bless you my child for your good fortune. I make 11, I get about 125-150 in bonus money every two weeks because we have so much work, which is my mad money. I can sleep in if I want, but generally keep to my promised schedule. They know I produce, I get a GOOD tax break, and I woulnn't work it out any other way. To each his own.
Then no bennies for you! Be an IC.

bennies?
What kind of benefits does MDI-Maryland offer? What kind of transcription do they have - acute care? clinic notes? ER? And lastly, do they have line incentives and is there a cap on them? Very interested...
No bennies because
all MTs are IC/SE status. As far as I know, they have acute care and clinic, not sure about ER. No line incentives but I feel they pay very well. cpl range from 9-11, depending on the account and they pay spaces and punctuation. Software is nice to use, too. Hope this helps. Contact them and someone will respond very quickly. They are wonderful to talk to and will take all the time you need to explain and answer questions.
IC and bennies
Insurance...That is one of the reasons I went back in-house. I had been without health insurance for 3 years and at age 50, felt I was pushing my luck. It sucks, but now I have health insurance, PTO, AND.......a 403B. If I could have those bennies and still work from home, I would be delirious.
Good luck.
Need teh bennies too much! Otherwise

bennies
I've been at DeVenture for 2 years and in no way, shape or form do part-timers get benefits (at all). If you DO, I'd say there's something amiss.
Does MDI-MD have employees with bennies or
is it IC only? Couldn't tell from the website. Thanks.
Very decent bennies. If you do ESL, you can get 10 cents
a line with bennies. Check them out.
Plenty of work? Any PTO? Okay bennies? nm
