    The company should pay its share..
    now THAT'S a benefit.
    Could you share the name of the company
    either on the board or privately? I only ask because I'm currently looking for some fill-in work and have been doing some tests. They're involved and take time, as you know, and if that's all they're offering after all that, I'm wondering what company because I want to steer clear. I have a test sitting waiting for me to do it, but maybe it's the same company?
    So why not share the company name . . .
    and save the rest of us from the potential agony.
    Would you care to share the name of the company?
    and any other specifics like line rate range?
    Care to share the name of the company?

    Is it a National?  How many MTs (educated guess is fine).  You can E-Mail me if you prefer.  I am just curious to find out how many companies have MT friendly QA staff.  Thanks. 


    I share your grief over the same company sm
    I finally decided that since I need the insurance at this point I will keep a part time job. I have been spending so much of my day waiting on work or stuck in something that doesn't make any money. I think they hire so that everyone can only have their minimum and nothing more. The push for speech is really getting to me, especially since the program is not very good. I keep hearing how I can double my income if I will just move to speech. Hardly. Then again, I am the kind of MT who sets up the document, but once in it I can put my foot on the pedal and rarely take it off. I can type much faster than I can edit a voice document. Add to this that the voice stuff is not actually being edited at all and it looks like what my pup leaves in the yard.

    I found a company whose philosophy is that VR is a joke and they won't be going there. I start this week and if I prefer it, I'll find my own insurance and go to work for them full time. Seems if you work full time you don't have to work weekends there.

    I was one of those who praised this company and I apologize to all of you. I wish I had kept my mouth shut.
    Would you care to share the name of the company
    What a total rip-off.
    Please share the name of the company so others may investigate this opportunity!

    Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
     
    Can you share what small company you found (sm)
    that offers benefits (even if it is more costly).  It seems that all I have talked to don't offer any and I can't afford to go without health insurance.  Thank you so much in advance.
    I hope you'll share the NAME OF THE COMPANY
    I know I certainly wouldn't want to make the mistake of ever applying for a job there!
    I just went broke because of a company and would love to share their name
    www.ripoffreport.com

    We take a job expecting some semblance of constancy. We are not teenagers living at home.

    And I have yet to meet an MT who does this for free, as a hobby, 40 hours a week.

    Here we are, in the U.S., where insurance is expensive, the economy is mutilated and dirt cheap labor is just across the deep blue sea.

    Some whine more than others but this Gourdpainter, I have been reading her for a long time, and from the tone of her posts, she is not a (an?) habitual complainer. She is helpful and considerate in her posts to new MTs and others who have a question.

    United we Stand, Divided we Fall.

    Just like the coal miners back in Pennsylvania, the company will let you eat coal dust all day long to save themselves the cost of ventilation, and then fight to not have to pay for the medical costs of an aging coal miner with black lung and ashen colored skin. No one made him go down there, I know, I know, but a man has got to feed his family. Work is work, you take what your skills will get you.

    Fair enough - Some huge corporation is going to sue someone over a thread on the internet. This is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Have you read message forums elsewhere on here? There are disparaging remarks made about everything under the sun.

    Word of mouth travels far and wide, and so does the truth.

    So give us a break and let us make enough money to live a respectable life in this job which we do with steadfast dedication if we make it over 3 years.

    Kindness reaps kindness. Consideration for the MT - For instance:

    Supervisor: Gee Susie, work load is light these days, and your paycheck reflects that. How are you doing? Are you able to make ends meet? How can we remedy this in house or outside of this company so you can have an income you can rely on?

    MT: Thank you. I would appreciate that very much. I am down to a few nickels after I pay the bills and am beside myself with worry. The anxiety sends me to MTstars where I vent in hopes of finding others who understand the DREAD AND FEAR I AM EXPERIENCING because I WORK ALONE ALL DAY LONG,without my comrades to take breaks with or have lunch with WHERE THIS TYPE OF VERBAL EXCHANGE WOULD ORDINARILY TAKE PLACE.


    I love the company I work for and I just wanted to share
    that with you all so that if you are not happy, realize there is hope out there.  I worked for Healthscribe/Spheris for over 2 years until I found this position.  I am a SE for MDI out of Maryland and I make 10 cents per 65 character line including spaces.  This is a great smaller company that does not offshore.  I am left alone to do my work but I have somebody there if I need any questions answered, etc.  QA is wonderful too.  They didn't dump me into an account full time, they let you ease into your account over a 2 week period doing 5 reports a day so you can work your other job until you are taken off of QA.  I was off QA in a week.  My account is great, the platform is great (Bayscribe), production Expander is user friendly.  For all you unhappy MTs, there is hope out there. 
    Any OSI radiology MTs care to share your experience with this company?
    .
    MedScribe, anyone work for this company that is willing to share your opinion???
    I just tested and sent my resume, but I'm in the process of looking at several companies and trying to sort things out.  ty
    Needed on PTC or Professional Transcription Company. Please Share!
    x
    Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
    more about your experience...
    Of course company doesnt feel compelled to share this info. Is there anyone there who would be
    ;P
    You'd better check out the Company
    Board on them. Doesn't sound like a very good place to work. Posts say they charge you for using their software, etc. and pay using Paypal. Click on Company Board, put Medgarde in search and you'll see what I'm talking about.
    Company Check
    Has anyone heard of Just Your Type transcriptions? How is the company? Any resources will help.
    Why would a company do a credit check?

    They are not loaning you money and you're not purchasing anything on credit are you?


     



    manta.com - check out your company
    nm
    My thought too which is why I did a check on the company
    and apparently the company does some transcription.  I also have a watch on my credit report, etc., so will know if I am a victim of identity theft.  I will know where to start looking!!
    check company page
    Mary/writer has written a post to the company board stating that she had filled the position. She thanked people for their posts. I think she was taken aback by one very mean email she received. I am surprised she didn't get far more. Of course $25 for three hours of work is ridiculously low, but I bet she could have been treated much more nicely. Some of the people who post on here are so unkind. I don't think they would be happy anywhere with any amount of money. How disheartening.
    I have a check from an MT Company that is dated 2/16. I have not been able to-sm
    cash it because when I call the bank the funds are not available.  What recourse do I have??  I really could use the money.  I know I can't get blood out of a turnip though so I realize I may be out this $$.  Someone told me if I deposit the check and it bounces I can report her to the DA for a bad check.  Is there anything I can do just knowing it is no good???? Thanks. 
    I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
    Never had a bounced check either.  I can see why you would worry though.  Maybe they will do the switch eventually. 
    It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
    have been asked about several times the last month or so.  There has been nothing good said about them. 
    I think AllType should check out her BBB profile. I wouldn't want her representing my company
    She can dispute owing MTs anything but how do you explain away having unsatifactory business practices with numerous complaints. Apparently, AllType doesn't care. Amazing...
    Gosh..does this company start with an F. In any event, you need to double check with your insurance
    provider to see the exact date the policy was cancelled. Sometimes, companies have to pay preminums ahead of time. I would just make sure and if they are still taking the money out, you need to send a certified letter telling them to return your money at the point you were paid up and the policy cancelled or reinstate the insurance. Why pay for something your not getting.
    Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're
    s
    The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
    :+
    Does background check include credit check?

    "You can check my credit if I can check yours"
    x
    Credit check, FBI check was not for
    me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
    They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

    Would anyone like to share their
    on what to use for the different variations of words. TIA
    Could you share what the pay is like and do you know..
    how much experience is required.. I have 5 years of acute care with 1 year of that in radiology, but I feel very confident about my radiology..
    and say I have done my share. Actually I have done more than
    my share.  In greater than 5 years I have yet to call in sick, have worked sick many times, have not taken off without at least a months notice.  I earned a vacation and I don't feel guilty about taking one.  I have worked extra every time it was needed, I have taken a day off when asked to because there was no work.   I get tired of hearing we have no choice.  There are/were other options available.   I noticed from the e-mail addy listed in the e-mail that several people are no longer there (that had been there for years) and there are a bunch of new people. 
    At MDI-MD, can someone share with me how .. sm
    many LPH you can average?  I realize there are a lot of variables but it would help me to have some feedback if anyone would care to share what has been their experience.  Thanks. 
    Would you share?
    Would you mind sharing the names of the companies you are working for, as I am looking for part time work , as my current part-time job is slowing down with new technology.  Thanks. 
    can you share
    this sounds good, can you share the company name?
    Would someone please share
    info regarding p.r.n. Transcription and Phoenix Medcom, please.  They both have ads on job board and would like to apply, but first would like to know a bit about these companies.  I have done a search, but haven't come up with anything that is very recent.  Thanks for your help.
    Yes, please share...
    Do you do a lot of ASR? My accounts are increasingly becoming ASR. Last week I had over 12,000 lines but only 900 were straight transcription.
    Yes, please share.

    Can you share how much they pay for VR?
    Just curious. I currently get 5.5 cpl so if they are close to that, I might look into them.
    please share
    email, post, anything. 
    Please share...
    why you feel it is the best. Thank you.
    I will share...sm
    COMPANY: AS

    PER LINE: 0.075 cpl straight transcription

    I have tried to get info before on pay and it turned out a lot of MTs won't give out that info. Good luck.
    Yes. Please share.
    if not here in broad daylight, could you consider an anonymous email reply? Inquiring minds want to know.
    Had to share

    OK remember the 1 cpl line thing?  Well get this, a friend of mine just called and was offered 0.0085 cpl.  I am not even sure if I am writing this correct, but it's LESS THAN 1 cpl!!!!  It was for the first 2 weeks and then she would get bumped up to 2 cpl.  We were laughing so hard, I had tears streaming down my face!!  Is this even legal?  I kept asking her if she was sure and if it was supposed to be 8-1/2 cpl, but NO she was sure and even kept asking them if they were sure.  I can't even be mad anymore.  It is just becoming hysterical like we are all part of a practical joke.  Anyway I went to themtdepot.com and cast a vote about line rates.  Won't do much of anything I know, but it's all I know to do.  I have tried to come up with something.  What can we do?   I'm starting an onsite position at a local clinic, hourly, PT, but I still want to work at home too.  So frustrating! 


    Oh by the way, the job she applied with isn't a regular posted job here!


    Can you share
    the emails with us? They didn't give their emails out at my conference call.
