First and foremost, I am NOT in management with Keystrokes.  I am simply a MT who was recently hired.  Because I am not a well person and suffer from a painful medical condition and other underlying conditions, I was unable to start working my assigned schedule.  I explained this to my supervisors.  I just knew that because I had such the awful flare of this autoimmune disorder, they would not be able to hold this position for me.  Well, I explained everything to my supervisors, account managers, etc....and guess what.....I still have my job, it may not be as a full time employee, but they understood and still giving me a chance and offered me options of working. 

I had read for so long some of the negative thihgs about this company and the people, I will admit, those posts made me veer away from applying with them.  Some companies will NOT even take on an MT who suffers from a condition such as mine. 

I admit, I did have bad experiences in the past with a few companies, but I would never really post about them, I would just take it as a lesson learned. 

I know that a lot of us have had these bad experiences, but not all companies are the same.  This place is working with me, they are giving me time to recuperate and get better and my job is still there for me.  From the people I have been dealing with, they were nothing but nice to me, even the owner. 

I just felt I had to post this.  Of course, not everyone will agree with me about the company, but I don't expect that.  I just felt I needed to post this to let people know that many things you read, do not always hold the full truth.

Thanks for reading...(scuse the typos)

Thank you.

small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend.  Is this true? 

I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread.  Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.

I was there for the promises and guess what Keystrokes is making good on those promises. 

I get vacation time, 401K, and even AFLAC.  My pay is great, always on time as well as accurate. 

I have my main account and have been given back up accounts for which I have been fully trained and am comfortable typing on.  I have great leads, great tech support and plenty of work.

Am I biased???  Yes I am biased.  I am grateful everyday that I was given the opportunity to work for Keystrokes and their team.  I am grateful that my company's owner is a fellow Transcriptionist that goes home at the end of the day and works like the rest of us so she knows what a hard job I have and I know that she is working to make things better for me because unlike other companies I have worked for she understands what it is I do.

Please accept my apologies that you were unhappy with Keystrokes and chose to move on before all of the promises came to fruition but don't begrudge those of us that stayed loyal and are now reaping the benefits of a GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT BENEFITS, LOTS OF WORK AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE GREAT THINGS TO COME!

I just want to say Thank you Lee, Jeff, Becky, Karyn, Martha, Annette, Paul and everybody else in the office for all that you do.

after submitting your resume before you heard from them? 

but I started no later than 2 weeks after all my paperwork was signed and sent in.  So I don't know if they finished the background check before I started or not.  About a month later, I got a notice from the DOT notifying me that they checked my driver's license records, but that's the only info I got back.

I also have to agree with several posts above about the comments about being a hospital employee.  I also was hired as an employee of the hospital, and yes, the process is a little more involved, but it was no more involved than when I was hired for an inhouse position at a local hospital.  It is just the hospital's requirements.  Diskriter did pay for everything and I have no indictation whatsoever they they sold my info to telemarketers. 

The pay is average, but I also agree with the poster above that it is offset by the fact that you are working on only one account, plus the benefits are better than any national out there.   I  am making more $$ than in my 15 years of MTing than I ever have (45K+).    

Oh, another plus is that they do pay an hourly wage for downtime (system problems, no work).  This is also a big plus in my opinion.

Good Luck.        

I need to find a new IC job.  To make a long story short, I work for a very small local company as an IC (just 3 transcriptionists).  I guess the reason why I stay is because it's so flexible.  I can work in the morning, have the afternoons off and then work again in the late evening when my daughters are asleep.  I have 24 hour TAT.   I'm supposed to be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month.  For the last two months instead of the 1st and 15th, I've been getting my paycheck on the 13th and 28th if I'm lucky.  Right now I'm still waiting for my check from the 1st. 

Again, I know I'm crazy to stay, so you don't have to say it for me,  but this is my first IC job and I'm a little scared to leave. 

I guess what I'm asking is do you know of a good company that hires IC that use lines rather than hours or is flexible with hours so I can try to keep my same schedule?  I know there have been a lot of posts in the past about this, but I was hoping for some recent information from someone who works for a good company.

I'm just so frustrated at this point.

Can anyone who works for Transtech tell me how long it took to get your test results? I tested last night and I'm wondering how long before I hear from someone at the company.

Thanks.
