In Reply to: Either way...would appreciate any feedback. I love TT - the OP
I don't know who has ruined this wonderful company, but E is one of them !!! Of course, D is in control of everything, so just amazed at the condition of TT now.

They do it to control how much you make.
Once you start making decent money they will put you on some other WT or hospital. It's the way FN operates and has done that for years. The comment below by the MT that does 4 jobs then E-mails for more work is delusional. I'll like to see what she has to say in about 6 months (if she's still there). They also have posted for another new client starting next week. I didn't like the fact that they control my work - I have never come across that except at FN. Glad I'm not there anymore.
Posts about TransTech are getting way out of control. Take discussion regarding

MTSOs have no control over the factors that would make this
:+
Control freaks and think up everything they can to make things difficult. They must be very unhappy
women up there.
The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is.

That's why they pay 9 cpl they control your work
Sounds like pretty good money but you end up making just as much as 7 cpl because they dish out the work.
Yep REALLY low job #'s from dictators from hell
A special place in hell
awaits those people who told you that. I was an MT for 15 years and the most I ever made was 32K. That was several years ago when I worked at one of the last hospital jobs still around then. My pay actually got lower each year. I finally left the field.
Back in the day when I first started doing this, I constantly heard stories similar to my sister-in-law/aunt/cousin/best friend works in Florida/Texas/California/New York and makes $20 an hour doing transcription!!!!
I kept hearing about those big money jobs but I never found one. I've worked in every hospital, clinic, doctor's office and national you can think of and barely made ends meet. I'm so sorry they got to you. I wish I could get to people before they put down their money thinking their going to make big bucks. It's such a lie.
Skip it! We are mad as hell, and it looks like some of us are going to take a stand and not take th
Don't like it, don't read it; it is as simple as that. We worked for this company for many years, and to have something happen like this, by someone who said she always looked out for her MTs is upsetting, to say the least. I have a house payment, kids college, etc. to pay, and refuse to take a job that will pay lower than what MDI paid. I refuse to be undercut again!
Absolutely had my turn in hell...
I used to work at MQ.
I still make more with Transtech than anywhere else
they leave me alone to do my job. I don't have to read a bunch of unnecessary and irrelevant emails and I am not monitored by phone or IM. I don't have to clock in and out at all much less every time I have to burp. I love Transech and make good money here.
I make 350-400 lph at TransTech
I can't get $20 if I'm on disability so I'm staying put.
Freeze
I'm not sure when they started the hiring freeze, but I was hired in July of last year.
Hell they won't last 10 years with unqualified management
and that is the truth
Hiring freeze
I do know that as of about a month ago, they were having a hiring freeze.
It does freeze up. Have you tried not using highlighter
xx
Believe me, one can make decent money at TransTech.
There is plenty of work and I don't think the incentive plan is low at all. A good MLS should have no problem hitting the first tier and the QA incentive should be automatic. The starting line rate is also one of the best I had run across. I'm not trying to convince anyone to come to TT, its not a good fit for everyone, just wanted to share my experience. If one is getting a negative vibe about a company, I don't blame them for not wanting to give them a try.
Make it easy on yourself and move to TransTech

Transtech VR -- Can't make the same money IF you are accustomed to using a
lot of expanders/briefs, because you will be constantly deleting and retyping in stuff, rather than getting to expand a word/words. Definitely not the same money. Why do you think all these companies are going to VR? To put more money in the MT's pockets? NOT
oops..had a brain freeze.
MQ does provide equipment. not sure, however, if PT flex is provided with equipment or not.
with the freeze and wondering why you would place

bank account freeze
To anyone out there who is considering working for Preferred Transcriptions in Pennsylvania, I would say, keep far, far away.
My bank recently notified me of a 15-day hold on a check of theirs due to the account being frozen which means that it has a hold on it due to creditors. On top of that, they never pay on time. Most companies will pay in two weeks but here it is always at least three weeks after submission of invoice.
Have had no satisfaction from the company who are basically putting it on me. They said the check has cleared but refuse to provide documentation and are now ignoring my e-mails.
Will probably have to go to small claims court and just maybe, I will get my money. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
oh hell yeah!!! These hospitals were billed for crap they didn't even know - sm
we did!! I guess that was one perk in a dishonest way - we were to put down any mileage we did whatsoever. Also, if the traveler was a horrible transcriptionist and god knows, there were quite a few, the hospital still had to pay for the work that was done!!
Think MTSO would toss resume with freeze on

I thought there was a hiring freeze. Curious
xx
hired right before they instituted hiring freeze sm
Right now work is kinda slow across the board, most places I have worked are always a little slower in the summer. I have been getting my lines, but having to work a little harder and be a little more flexible for them, but there are times when I can get a few hours of OT if I want them.
I think it shows excellent judgment on WMX part not to overhire just because they have a few good applicants apply. It makes me feel like they are more worried about their current MTs. I left my last job because that is exactly what they did, and then expected me to work crazy hours to make up my lines (I have small kids and need a babysitter to work--and I can't pay one to sit at my house when work might come through or ask her to stay 24/7 because there might be a few lines I could grab here and there,)
I really only have good things to say (so far) about WMX, I think they would definitely be worth waiting on. And before I get flamed, I am not management, just somebody who has worked in few Hades holes, and like being talked to like a person again (and paid like somebody who might have a little bit of knowledge--instead of like a high school kid flipping burgers).
Deb Garrison, I hope you're reading this board, because I'm coming at you with one hell of a l
I know that there are a lot of you out there who are owed money. Some of you are owed LOTS of money and Deb just spends it on herself. You'll likely NEVER get paid, but together you can all make sure she never runs an MTSO again. But, what needs to happen is ALL MTs screwed out of their paychecks must come together for this to actually happen. You all can email me at flagfootballcoach@gmail.com and we will pull together and bring down the hammer on this woman. She has had too many different businesses, taken people for their hard earned money, and needs to be shut down for good.
Frustrating situation at TransTech makes me make typos here on this board . . .

Management is rocking alright, because their paychecks are not affected at all with the NO WORK/LOW WORK situation that has been going on now for MONTHS and MONTHS. That seems so unfair when without the MT's, the mgmt would have no paychecks!!!!!

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work. This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession. I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
Control I
I agree with you regarding ulterior motive. The simple answer is to DEMAND to know up front when working with Ex-Text whether Ctrl I will be used and if not, WHY NOT. If no answer to this or if given some vague answer, DON'T work for them.
Control I
Not being able to use Control I sounds suspicious to me. Dictaphone can set up any line count in Control I. One woman in Florida is paid and charges by every 37 characters and dictaphone has that set up. So anyone stopping you from using Control I has their own motives.
They have control over it
.
Of course they have control, you don't think they are going to gyp themselves do you.

huh? are you saying why not work at transtech? sm
Been there, done that and don't want to again due to the amt of ESLs Transtech had. i couldn't make good $ with so many different ESLs that i couldn't get used to them. so are you saying Probity is equivalent to transtech in ESL regard?
TransTech - what are they like to work for? s/m
Are you expected to produce a certain amount of lines per pay period?
Do they pay on time?
I have been offered a position but would like to know more about the company before I decide whether or not to take things any further.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
For those of you who work at TransTech doing VR, do you like it there? NM

How is TransTech to work for? ...sm
I got a job offer from Transtech Medical. Its sounds pretty good. I was wondering what the opinion was of present MTs with TransTech, how they are to work with, communication, platform, line counts, etc.??? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Never did, never will work for TransTech...
See my post reply above
At least Transtech allows you to work whenever you want.

Don't tell me! You used to work for Transtech!

Who gives a rat's *****. You won't be able to pay for a new car!!!!!! NO WORK AT TRANSTECH

To the OP, this is just a classic example of KS PR control
My facts cannot be wrong, as this is what happened specifically to me. I do not have to stretch the truth whatsoever. The true version is colorful enough. Imagine being hired and thinking you are going to have an unlimited amount of work, quitting your old job, only to find out a week later that not only you, but the other girls on the same account no longer have any work. Sorry, the deal fell through. Certainly not MY fault, but KS's. The thing turned out to be that the account was just an overflow account. Go figure.
As far as the bounced check goes, I don't know what "one of the 8 means", but my checked bounced and I received NO letter from KS's bank. As a matter of fact, I had to email again and again and, yes, again the office to get my money and fees paid. It took quite a while. I have the paperwork right here in my desk. I have proof.
To the KS MT who says I need to get my facts straight, I believe this is once again Lee pretending to be an MT or one of her management team trying to deflect the truth. It is the usual way of KS.
If you do take a job with them, I wish you good luck and I sincerely hope that you do not have the same problems as many of us have had.
I use Control F or find
I go to top of each page and do Control F and type in name of company or whatever I am searching. Seems to work pretty well and quicker than reading through all the posts!
