I'm glad they pay you on time. When I worked there, they frequently "fudged" sm

In Reply to: I work for JLG and they are just fine. They treat you well with small little perks. - Sorry you did not like them
on the date they would mail the checks out. In my contract, it stated that they would be mailed from Oldsmar or Tampa (I cannot remember), and they would adjust the postage meter to read the date it was supposed to be sent out, but then the postmark from the post office would be several days later.
My experience was much like the other posters. They hired me at 10 cents per gross line and gave me a crappy account. I was switched to a clinic account, and I was making lines hand over fist, but then they switched me back to the crappy account. And when work would dry up, I'd call and Crystal would just laugh and tell me to take the day off.
I'm glad if they had improved.

Worked there for a very short time. Glad to be gone.

Glad it worked for you. I have worked for companies
that were more reliable and paid without the delay I had. Maybe you started before they started doing that but it makes no difference. I TOO am a single parent.
You are not trying to argue? Sounds like you not only are trying to argue but you are just waiting for anyone to post anything about the co on here so you can just get out there and respond, which seems to be the way I have always noticed it. It's like all the MTs or whoever that work there are just waiting to respond.
This board is about the good points and bad points about companies. I am telling my experience.
The people were nice people though, but my experience was not a good one and I will not say it was.
I can go a week after the end of payday and even 10days later but that's it. Kids would starve.
I'm glad it worked out for you...sm
I hope mine goes as well as your did. Thanks again for your input.
Glad it worked out
The way things are now, it seems everyone wants lots of experience.
The old days of on-the-job training weren't such a bad thing. No degree can take the place of starting from the bottom and working up!
I am glad it worked out for you. sm
The only problem I have is I just wish I could get on accounts that were not so time consuming with doing other things like filling things in, verifying, researching for each document other than just typing it up. The editing part looks horrible also, too many changing and retyping of headings and sentences. Needless to say since I spend so much time on quality my quantity suffers greatly. I do agree the work is there, just need to learn all the changing account specifics and try to keep some kind of line count up.
I am glad you know who they are; I don't. I have worked for several companies
as QA and in all but one case, the QA manager was an MT with much experience. The job I have now, the QA have a lot of latitude with the MTs and mentor, but none of them have the attitude of feeling better than the MTs or project it. It sounds as if you are trying to talk yourself out of it. I love my job and I love working with the MTs. It is all in what you want out of the job how the job will be. You must like doing QA though because you will not make the hourly rate that you would make doing MT work if you were a fast MT (like I was). I enjoy doing my job. I cannot find anything that I can say against QA other than the fact that there are cheap companies out there that try to get away with paying QA by the line and I would avoid them like the plague because that's what they are. They truly cannot care about quality if they pay on quantity for their final product.
I'm glad it worked out, but if she is paying you
she has to have some information on you, phone number, address, etc.
I'm glad they worked things out for you (sm)
I've been with them nearly 2 years now and they have been more than fair and flexible with me. Good Luck to you!
Good for you!!! I am glad it worked out. nm

I worked there for 2 years and am glad I left
However, I have several friends that still work there, love it and probably will never leave. I personally choose not to work for a company that outsources overseas. Just my opinion though.
Glad I got out in time.
I guess all their VR editors are only working to fine tune dictators so future work can then be sent to India. I knew there was a reason I didn't trust them & am very glad I listened to my instincts.
Just am glad I was able to get mine in time
I started back doing the same hospital after 1 company lost and I had no idea where it went - thank goodness at that time we were able to ask and I did get the same hospital I have now worked for for about 20 years. I think again you are being overbearing on these rules. Privacy is 1 thing but your rules are too much. It does not hurt at all to ask so a person can find a certain place they worked for in the past. I will pass on the information you have barred.
Of course we do. This will make time #5 that I do just that. Glad you have good luck.
Not everybody does. Ummm...you do know you don't always get what you ask for/want, right? And if you try sometimes, you still don't get what you need.
phew...i'm glad it wasn't just me, no more wasting time on this!
nm
You sound like an ex-friend I used to have that was on a high horse all the time. BOY am I glad I
She was always so quick to point out everyone's faults, preaching about what you SHOULD be doing, while at the same time, doing everything wrong herself. I believe that is why she has no friends. People don't like to be around that.
Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^
dictators! Be glad you got off now. I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!! Lucky you !!!!!
I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !
TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm.
Sheesh, that's awful. Glad I didn't waste my time testing, had a feeling....

Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
They frequently don't pay or (sm)
pay months later. I worked for them a few years ago and the work was awful. Very bad ESL PA dictating for several doctors on the account I had. They advertised on their web site that they paid for spaces, and I found out they didn't. Their excuse was that they changed software and hadn't changed the web site yet. As far as I know, to this day, the web site hasn't changed. I finally quit when the paycheck wasn't coming...and wasn't coming...and it finally arrived a couple of months later. However, I think I was the lucky one because at the time there were a lot of people not being paid, and I have still read posts about them the last few years, some recent, of people not being paid.
See posts quite frequently here,
out of New Hampshire.
Consider that the most frequently used words
have 3 letters or less, so 25% or more of the space taken by that word would include at least 1 space.
They are frequently under new management because
the majority of the people have no transcription experience and are in it for the money only. It was so bad when I was there the only way to go was up.
frequently job ads say no satellite sm
one person said (so-called PC person) said might be because the signal can be picked up out of air and system/data can be compromised. Not certain this is reason job ads say this for certain.
The archives said that they ran out of work frequently
and that they outsource to India. Was hoping things had changed. Do they pay for spaces, headers/footers, bold, etc.?
They offshore. They are frequently changing
how they pay. I was originally offered a cpl rate for MT, then offered another rate to QA the offshore work. Someone in the week or so is saying they are offering to pay like 5 cents per thousand words. I thought the sound quality of the files was poor and the few dictators I listened to not so great. They used to be named something else, but I can't remember what - Transcription Solutions or TSI (I think). They are out of Texas.
If you read through old posts you'll find more info, nothing particularly good.
They have been mentioned frequently lately. Read
the archives and you'll find lots of answers.
Does work for Webmedx and is frequently
out of work on ER accounts. If you type acute work you may have more than enough and that is great, but the ER side is frequently low or out of work and I do have multiple accounts.
I love WMX but WAS frequently running out of...
work on my 3 accounts and 3 work types. I primarily do ER work, can do clinic, but cannot handle acute care and I admit that. Overall, WMX is a GREAT company to work for. A great since of community and family there. They never hesitate to let us know we are appreciated and that we are the reason they make money, and they have the best benefits of any National out here...by far. My one and only problem was work....or lack of it. However, after a long talk with my supe yesterday she now understands and has given me 2 extra accounts for the next month until a new clinic account is added and I will be put on that as my primary. I did have to take a measure that kind of grabbed her attention, BUT I don't think that is the case with supervisory staff. I also don't think the west necessarily knows what the east is up to at times, and though I myself am on the east coast, my primary and secondary, as well as my supe are all on the west coast. Anyway...overall, WMX truly is a great company, I was not looking for something else because I wanted to leave them, but because my hubby has been out of work for 4 months and I need to earn a paycheck, besides the fact that I just love my work.
Frequently the work our company gets -
from some accounts is already old and out of TAT before we ever even receive it! Then they squawk about their precious TAT! Half the STATs that come my way aren't marked as such, either. I only find about that it is STAT when I get to the VERY END of the report, and the doctor says, 'Oh, by the way, this report is STAT, and I need it for surgery by 7:00 tomorrow morning, (which as I'm sitting there typing it at 3 in the morning, is only 4 hours away, and I just HAPPEN to be typing at 3 AM because I have insomnia.)
My supervisor actually said today that she wants me to get that ridiculous 'CMT', too! Ex-CUUUSE me? After 30+ years, I don't think 3 little letters of the alphabet are going to earn me any more money, do you? Forget it... I'll work as a checker at K-Mart before I'll waste my hard-earned cash on that stupid 'certification'.
Never fails to amaze me that MTSOs think we MTs are what cause them to 'lose accounts'. No, it's their inept business management that loses accounts. Most of THEM should be fired!
At one time worked for Hos at 1.00, sm
which is low, I would say 1.25 and up is fair for experience. The 1.00 minute correlated to around 15-18/hr. I have 24 yr exp.
I worked for them some time ago....sm
and never had any problems. The only reason I left is because they require full-time status and I could only do part-time. They are wonderful people to work with, and I still think of them often. I say go for it!
I worked there quite some time ago
My experience was less than positive. It has been many years though. The pay was awful and often late and the owners were really hard to get a hold of, but i was new and out of school and didn't know much better, so I thought I didn't have a choice. In retrospect I feel like I was pretty taken advantage of, because I was a newbie. Lots of Christian values were preached but not many were followed. But again, that was a few years ago. Maybe it's changed.

It is true, mostly overflow accounts and I ran out frequently
nm
Prevention frequently gives free subscriptions. I
guess they think they'll make money when you renew, but they are so full of ads and not much useful information I don't know why anyone would want to renew.
Definitely search archives. Its posted frequently. I know its AOL, and some combo of her name! Try
a search of archives on Keystrokes! Good luck!
I worked for the same company the whole time and
just traveled for a year. I downloaded via FTP site so as long as I had internet access I could work anywhere. I have direct deposit so I didn't have to worry about that. My family and I traveled through 34 states and Mexico and I worked the whole time.
Probably not what you were asking, but maybe something you hadn't considered.
If you worked there, during the time that the e-mail was sent sm
you should have received.
I worked there 3 different times; EVERY time
That's the truth.
I worked for one like that and then found out they did not pay on time all
the time and that was a shocker and then it was wrong to boot.
I worked for MQ for a very long time. sm
I really loved working for them until the recent changes, and I agonized over my decision to leave. Now that it is done and over with, I can honestly say that I feel I made the right choice. However, now I find myself desperately searching for that job that I can settle into and be happy with, and hopefully outdo my 8 years with MQ. I definitely don't enjoy changing jobs.
I think at one time I saw you post that you worked
for the same company I do in FL. Only, if you work for them I want a raise - LOL. I am an employee but don't make that much, but I do have some bennies, so maybe we don't work for the same company.
I worked for them a long time ago.
Left in 2003. They were nice enough to work for. Not sure how it is now.
Thank you!! I was just too impatient. Thanks again. Worked this time.

I worked for them a short time ago.. sm
I found them to be a very good company, very fair and very honest. I had no problems with getting my check at all. I did not stay with them long, however it had nothing to do with the company, it was for personal reasons. I would work for them again. Good luck.
I worked there a short time
and EVERYBODY I ever dealt with was pleasant & professional. Very, very nice company. I ended up leaving because I had trouble with my DSL and kept losing jobs, but it was a great company. I loved being able to review other chart notes on the patients, very helpful. Good luck to you there!
I worked for them for a short time.
Very, very fussy in QA, but other than that was a decent place to work.
What do you need to know? I worked there for a short time
Not my favorite company -- not because of software, but QA issues. No two QA said the same thing. It was a losing battle. I am much happier since I left that place. AMEN!
Worked there for a short time
I had no issues. I was never threatened. They will ask for help if MTs are not working/meeting quotas and as an AM myself, it seems there are more MTs who don't care than do.
I have worked there for a long time
and the trainer at All Type is excellent. She is very patient, precise about the process, and no question is too dumb for her. She never makes you feel stupid for asking. All your account specifics are in writing so you can refer to them instead of sitting there in the dark. The typing platforms are varied but not difficult to learn.
I worked there for a very short time
...just long enough to figure out there was no way to make any money...especially on the Emdat Inscribe platform they use. The people there are very nice though but that doesn't pay the bills!
Yes. Have worked for a long time and
always had work in the morning, but now there is nothing to do. I can't even make my minimum line counts most of the time.
