Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
Current Medware MTs
I have checked the archives and read about the problems recently, so am just asking some basic questions. Please no flames. What is considered part-time IC? Is there an hourly requirement, or a line requirement to meet? Is there more than one platform? Is it easy to learn? How much VR is available, and how do you like that platform? What are the pros and cons of part-time with this company? TIA.
Current Medware MT
I have been employed with Medware for a year and a half and am very happy. I love my account, my supervisor is wonderful and they keep adding to their benefits package! Plus, I was just recommended for a raise! Health insurance is very reasonable and for me, more than makes up for the starting cpl they offered. Hope this helps.
Current Medware MTs...
what type of line counts do you get and which platform are you on? I know you cannot post accounts here, but if you would email me personally I am trying to figure out which platform/accounts a person could get the best lines on. Thanks.
For current Medware employees...sm
I am thinking about going back to MW, just because their benefits are so hard to beat, but how has work flow been on the Dictaphone side? Are there still a lot of changes as far as leads and such? When I left things were rather up in the air with several people leaving as fast as they could. Thanks. 
Any current MedWare employees?
I have seen some bad press but am curious about how the cmopany REALLY is. Thanks.
Current info on Medware
Does anyone have any current information on working for Medware Florida. How are they to work for. Is it pretty easy to make lines and is the pay average or low. Also what about benefits.
I'm not sure....but...current FI employee
I currently work at Focus and I will probably get blasted for this but here goes.
For VR editing you get 4 cpl. For transcription they pay 8 cpl. They DO have benefits if you are hired on employee status and they have direct deposit. I am currently working there as an IC doing transcription and I am making excellent money. I have had no problems whatsoever with them. Everyone has been extremely nice and I have no problems reaching someone for tech support, hr questions, or just general questions. They do not work you like a dog. I work a very comfortable schedule that I made for myself and I make great money doing it. I have not done any VR as of yet because I have not been trained to do so. They will be setting me up at some point to do that as well as my transcription. But only if I choose.
They do not pressure you or force you into doing anything. You have the ability to choose what is right for you.
I just thought I'd give you a little perspective from someone who actually works there.
Current employee
I am working for them now. The testing is pretty standard. The pay is average to poor, benefits are good. The staff is great. Like my account. hoping pay will improve as I get faster!
current employee also
Hi. I have been there for over 2 years but have found that recently the workload has been extremely light. I heard on the chat boards that they offshore. I wonder if that is why. Are you having the same experience? Thanks
I'm a current employee and...
We have an abundance of work right now. The staff has always been very accommodating, even my MT supervisor. My schedule is flexible and have never had a problem when getting time off during my schedule. My division is in Texas. The only time the work dried up since I've been there (almost a year), was towards the end of October/beginning of November. However, in my entire 14 years of working for nationals, this seems to be a slow period for everyone. No matter where I've worked, it's ALWAYS slow during that time. Maybe people are trying to save for Christmas? Just a wild guess.
I've never had any problems and fortunately have nothing negative to say. Feel free to email me with any questions!
Thanks for validating everything. Can any current employee tell us
if things get better? Are the you hitting that 35 regularly and keeping your lph above 150?
Sorry you're going through the same thing I am. It's been hellish so far. I keep hoping it will get better.
I would like to hear from Current JLG Employee..sm
I am waiting on a job offer for PT IC position with JLG and was wondering from any current JLG'ers what their experience has been with this company. The HR person was absolutely wonderful and nice, and I really need the income right now with the low work situation. Any info would be so appreciated!! Thank you.
Cymed current employee
I am surprised you wouldn't want to work for Cymed. After working for other transcription companies, they don't hold a candle to the way I am treated at Cymed. My paychecks sure don't reflect lack of work. I don't know who is running out, but they should talk with their manager if they are. My manager always works with me to increase my production as well as plenty of flexibility with my schedule. I believe you'd be missing a great opportunity if you decide not to work for Cymed.
Current JLG employee, please answer.
How is work loaded to your system, dialed 1 report at a time or downloaded in chunks? Also, what is considered part time, or is there a requirement? I can't find anything in the job ad. Thanks so much.
You don't say if you're current job is IC or employee.
If you are IC now and take an employee position you need to figure the cost of benefits into the LPH rate. Also if you are getting paid for headers and you aren't currently that figures in. If you do 40 reports a day it isn't a huge difference, but over a pay period can add up. If you end up with a decent account - quality dictation and very ESL/bad dictators it might be you'll come out ahead. I would try it part-time though for at least a couple of weeks before quitting other job, so you can get a feel for it and see if it might be better overall.
I am a current Webmedx employee. sm
MTs have posted here that they've had trouble with the time clock situation. Time you use to research words, stretch your hands, whatever, eats into your official time/lph. So to keep your lph decent, you may find yourself clocking out for every little thing, which makes your day extremely long. They do give you a window of time in which to complete your reports, but you'll probably find yourself using those 12 hours to do the 8, and who wants to work 12 hours a day every day? I have also had problems with running out of work on primary and secondary accounts, only to bounce around on a daily basis on several others.
Other concerns about Webmedx are due to a case of someone with no MT experience and too much power making poor decisions that are adversely affecting many employees, IMO. I would definitely recommend staying AWAY from the QA end of things at Webmedx if that opening arises unless there's a change in top management.
I don't know anything about Axolotl. Do you have any other options besides these two? Could you be an IC sompelace else? If you get benefits elsewhere, some of the IC opportunities at other companies are the best.
what I do is call a current employee of sm
the company I am going to work for. That way you hope to get honesty. Ask the recruiter to hook you up with someone so you can get candid answers over the phone with someone OTHER than the management. Worked out well for me. Good luck.
Would a current employee of Axolotl please...sm
give me some specific information by email? Thanks in advance!
As a CURRENT employee at Amphion SM
I want to say this...I've worked for other companies who were less than sympathetic towards their ppl. Amphion has kept us informed all along as to what was going on in the company. It was with TEARFUL regret that we were informed of the coming events. We were told exactly what was happening. This economic crunch has hit everyone, not just Amphion, but as a company they are doing their best to assure and insure that we are taken care of as a family, because that is what we are here. A family. And we help each other in times of strife and we pat each other on the back when things are going well. So for anyone who has something bad to say about us, let me tell you, you have no idea what a really good company is like. Should I be unlucky enough to get laid off, I will eagerly await the time when I can come back.
If you are a current employee, please contact me. sm
I authored the manual, so I am very happy to hear that you found it helpful. I am always available for questions you might have or any support you might need both during and after training.
Current SoftScript employee
I am a current IC of SoftScript and really have no complaints about the company. They do have a few flaws, as do every other transcription company out there. I am not sure what bad press you are referring to, but they are deemed a very reputable company. And, perhaps it was your skills that made them decide not to follow up on your interview, as in your post you typed unintelligble (sp). No skilled Transcriptionist would put (sp) beside any word, they would look it up and do it correctly. So, maybe you are too quick to judge when in fact maybe your skills are in question. In comparison to the number of transcription companies out there, 8 cpl is definitely not the lowest I have seen and is actually quite reasonable. Perhaps they did not respond to your email regarding the lowest to highest line rate per position as it is none of your business and is actually confidential information unless they are offering you a position, where they would inform you of your line rate and the not rates of other employees (who may have been with the company for years, have more experience, are doing more difficulty accounts, etc.). Also, as a medical transcriptionist it is our job to understand all ESL dictators and be able to differentiate between background noise and actual dictation. It is hard work, but it is you who in fact chose this career and by doing so you accept any and all hardships when it comes to bad dictators. Anyhow, I only replied to this post in this manner as I am a very satisfied IC for SoftScript and they cannot please everyone, so perhaps they are better for not having followed up with your interview/emails as evidenced by your posting.
I am a current Transcend employee and think they are great.
Any new job takes time to learn. Give it a little while longer and see how it goes, check in with your Team Leader, they can really help you.
Good Luck.
Would like to hear from current MedGarde employee
I recently tested, interviewed, submitted references and transcript, etc., and have been offered a provisional position with Medgarde. Meaning I am on their waiting list and will be offered a position when one is available. I know how their line rate works, no spaces, etc. That does not bother me if you are allowed to get very familiar with the account, and if the platform is fast, etc. I have made more at .08/line on a fast platform with familiar dictators than I have at .10/line on a slow platform with a whole slew of different dictators. I have searched the archives but would like to hear from someone who is currently working for them. Do you get assigned to pretty much one account like they say? How many lines per hour can you average? Can you make a good paycheck? Also, what is there minimum line count per pay period? The recruiter gave me the line rate breakdown, but I forgot to ask her if there was a minimum amount of lines per pay period. Also, all I have is a generic recruiter email, no specific email for the recruiter I spoke with and no phone number. Since they ask you to sign a 1-year contrast, any pertinent, specific info at all before I make my final decision would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me if you would like to keep the information private. Thanks so much.
Any current information on Medware such as work load, pay, benefits, etc.
Thanks for anything you have.. the good, bad, and ugly.
Happy at Medware
I started about 1 year ago and have been very happy. Work is consistent, pay is direct deposit and the benefits are affordable. They recently got a new hospital and it must be a big one because I have seen postings where they have openings. Just my 2c, but it has been a big change in the right direction from my last national.
I am happy with Medware
Started about 1 year ago. I like the system, my team leader is very responsive and supportive and I like getting my pay on time, especially with direct deposit. I have been very happy with Medware. Good luck to you.
Very happy at Medware. (sm)
They have a super training team. Everyone is so helpful and very nice! Pay is always on time every other Friday!! So far I have no complaints. OT is offered often!!
I am sure I have found my home.
Have been happy at Medware
Started over a year ago, I am on their Merit system which is very easy to learn. I have a primary hospital account and a surgery center for a back up, and I enjoy both. I like my team leader and also like having my pay arrive by direct deposit, a big change from my previous company. I hear they now have work available using Dictaphone software, so maybe you should ask about that too. Good luck to you.
Very happy at Medware (sm)
I am on their Merit platform and it is very MT friendly. They also have accounts using Dictaphone ExText which I have used before, but my preference now is Merit.
Happy at Medware
I have been with Medware for over a year and have been happy. Good system, direct deposit and I like my team leader who is fair and really seems to care what goes on every day. Hope that helps.
Very happy at Medware
I have been with them for over 1 year and have been happy. I like the system and there is always work, plus my team leader is nice, so that helps. Good luck to you. I too came from MQ.
Why I am happy with Medware.
First of all, I am an Editor and am very happy with my account and my supervisor is wonderful. I am paid hourly and get lots of OT. My check is direct deposited every other Friday. Everyone I have come in contact with have been very professional and there are some great people at Medware.
You are trained, and then left alone to do your job. There is always somebody available to help when you need it. They do not call, send e-mails, etc. demanding you to work.
Probably the reason they were voted employee of the year is because they treat their employees well and with respect.
They do not put unqualified people in supervisory and management positions.
They do not put stressful demands on their employees.
I left OSi for Medware and have been totally happy about my decision. I left a horribly run company for a company that I will more than likely retire from
I have been very happy with Medware
Started almost 2 years ago and from the start I have enjoyed the people and my accounts. I am on the Merit system and training went well, they use direct deposit and I also have their insurance (United). Good change from where I was at (MQ). Good luck to you.
I have been very happy with Medware
I have been with Medware for over a year and they have been a good decision. I like my account and always have work. I do have a schedule but that is nothing new for me. Pay is direct deposit and that is a huge plus from my old service. I have their insurance and it is very affordable. Last, but the best part, my team leader is very personable, professional and I feel like she will always be there for me. She's kind of cool for a supervisor. They have been a good choice for me. Good luck to you.
Very happy with Medware. (sm)
I would be happy to answer any of your questions if you would like to email me.
Very happy at Medware
I started almost a year ago and they have been a good company to work for. Their software is easy to learn and I have always have work. I was looking for more consistent pay too, and Medware pays every 2 weeks with direct deposit. Don't know about the shift pay but I do make the incentive and also have their insurance (United) and it is a pretty good plan. They have been a good decision for me. Hope that helps.
Happy at Medware
I started 2 years ago, like my account and the Merit system. I needed insurance for my kids and they use United Healthcare and I really like them, I had that provider before Medware. Cost is not too bad but all family insurance is too expensive if you ask me. Medware pays their fair share I guess. All in all I left the big guys to work for Medware and no complaints. Lots of work even over the holidays.
Very happy at Medware
Medware has been great to work for, they are a big change over my previous service. I like my team leader and have plenty of work. Hope to stay with them a long time. Best to you.
Very happy with Medware
I started at Medware 2 years ago and have been very happy. The work is always there and I like my team leader and pretty much anyone I have been in contact with. Insurance (full coverage with United Healthcare) for me is $17 per week. I also like the direct deposit which is a big plus from where I came from, chasing checks and looking for the mailman was no fun. I heard Medware is starting some new hospitals, they were hiring alot of MTs a few weeks ago, maybe they still have some positions. Good luck to you, hope that helps.
I am happy at Medware
I have been with Medware for two years. My team leader is very professional and really seems to care about me. Everyone from training to tech support has been nice. My benefits are from United and cost $17 per week, I have paid vacation and I really like having direct deposit, something I did not have where I previously worked. Work has always been there, it was a little slow just before Christmas last year on my account but they gave me some other work that was just fine for a few weeks. It is shift work but they let you set your schedule and there is some flexibility during the day to get other things done. I'm happy to be with Medware, hope that helps.
Happy at Medware
Plenty of work and DD every other Friday. Very happy and I really like my team leader, that is a big change from my previous company.
I am also VERY happy with Medware...nm
s
Medware people seem happy sm
but I guess it depends on what status you are looking for.
Thanks, happy employee...
That helps!
I have been with them.....sm....HAPPY MW EMPLOYEE!
for over a year now and still LOVE it there. They are an AWESOME company to work for and are VERY good to their employees! If I had listened to some of the few on here who like to bash companies, then I would not have had the pleasure to work for them.
Happy DR employee
Drop me a line sometime on the company email. I'm the only Jeanna.
Happy TS employee
I am a happy TS employee and have been for the last 3 years. Feel free to email me!
Just a happy TT employee
