I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

Haven't heard of them in my 25 years as an MT.
Try a Google search and see what you come up with.
I think they're new. Haven't heard of them in all my years of doing MT. nm

I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
i've been working for MDI for over two years sm
 i think they pay really good. i love my acct. the supervisor is a good communicator. i have a lanier acct, but they do have some accts where your program for retrieving dictation is over the internet, so no long distance needed there. i think they even give you a chance if you don't have fast speed. i don't have fast speed, where i live it's not available.
good luck!
I made that working for a national...O/T, weekends...no live, now no O/T or weekends(sm)
so no more big bucks, at least from them...looking for second job to make ends meet, don't have husband to help...this sucks.
Never heard of them. I've been in the industry 30 years.
g
? wow, I've been here 8+years and never ONCE heard it. Wish i knew who your sm
STM was but we can't name names here.
I've sent resumes twice over the years and never heard back. Have experience, too. nm

MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
NOT working weekends
i really don't understand woman in this profession. You are in a 24/7 365 day a year job but you don't WANT to work weekends. You are going to a new company and becoming the low man on the totem pole but you think you shouldn't have to work weekends. Wake up and smell the coffee ladies. Try going to Walmart, Target, or your local grocery store and telling them you do not want to work weekends. Go work in an office or a factory and expect to have all the holidays off for your vacation. Get real and grow up. When you are NEW you get the weekends and the night shifts, the rest of us who have been with the company awhile and paid our dues are entitled to the weeknds off and most of us are willing to work the weekends when it is needed. Those of you who want your cake and eat it too need to wake up to the real world.
I like working weekends. There is always
I also have a family and responsibilities, but b/c I have a family I need to take this kind of shift. Works for patient care and for TT and me. Seems like different strokes for different folks, but I am happy to do both days on the weekend every week. I get time off during the week while everyone else has to work and fight for lines.
You're working weekends, though. nm

Working weekends and holidays
Thanks, I'd like to think of myself as a nice person. Unfortunately, the place I work at is a local clinic doing nephrology work. Have you tried locally, maybe you could find something where you wouldn't have to work weekends. And oh, yes, it is paid vacation. After 5 years I get 5 weeks. I have great benefits and a 401K plan, so I'm very thankful.
Re: working weekends and nights
I already do work Saturdays and nights (or try to, but it's a little hard when there is no work). I do not work on Sundays. It is my only day for my family to be together. I work six days (or nights as the case may be) a week as it is. Saturdays and nights are fine and I am happy to work them, but no work then, either. But there is also no work early mornings, hardly any during the day, almost none at night. It is as if it has all evaporated??????? I remember when all three of my accounts were plentiful and I could work as much as I wanted whenever. I do not mind flexing my schedule, but there is just no work no matter which way I flex it. What happened?
You Might get 11cpl working weekends only, third shift, as an IC. nm

Working holidays/weekends? I would certainly hope you are committed to
your convictions. Many people do not work holidays but it is not always a choice. If you do not want to work weekends or holidays, but the work must get done. If you are anti-working holidays and weekends, then I hope you do not expect to receive medical care or emergency treatment of any kind, that you do not shop or buy anything on weekends/holidays, do not attend any type of functions where employees must work to create a good environment for you to enjoy your life, do not go to movies, do not go out for dinner, etc. Did you ever think that these people may not want to have to work just to make your life sweet? What hypocrits.
Au contraire, working in-house usually means weekends
or rotating weekends. I've been doing this 30 years and I've yet to not have to share in the weekend coverage, whether rotating or a fixed Saturday or Sunday workday.
No one is delighted to work weekends, except maybe for the differential (which isn't much but helps), but it's part and parcel of the profession, at least in my experience.
Maybe they are working and haven't sm
had time to answer your post. If your post had not infuriated me so much, I would not have answered this one because it is such a snippy post! You are not the only MT in the land you know!
haven't heard anything about them....
but I did a Google search and here is their website: www.archivus.net
I haven't heard anything.
I am interested because I do medical billing as well. I am waiting to hear back to see if they hire people to do this from home.
haven't heard
I spoke with a recruiter there for a long time two weeks ago and was emailed benefit info etc. on the company by that recruiter and told I was going to hear from someone else in a couple of days. After that I found out from someone who works there that they received HUNDREDS of applications that weekend and that is why we have not heard back yet!
No I haven't heard anything :( SM
I did pass a test with Echo, though, and have decided to accept their offer. I'll be working part time for Echo right now, so if PMSI comes available, I could do both (I told them--PMSI--that I wanted to work part time).
I e-mailed A again, but still haven't heard back from her.
Just Me
No, I haven't heard from them either. NMd
d
I haven't heard of any (sm)
I work there too part time. I rarely see anything posted about them, good or bad. You can email me if you want, just state you're from here because I don't open up any email that I don't recognize someone or something about.
Is she still there? I haven't heard from her either. nm
nm
Haven't heard
anything about benefits changing. I am an Editor and we just got a simple email that we are going to hourly instead of salaried as of Feb 1. We used to get paid for down time but I think that's a thing of the past as well now. Nobody tells you much of anything.
I haven't heard anything yet either.
The website says they are still working on scheduling and hope to be done this week, so maybe we'll hear something soon???
I haven't heard much about MDI-FL
I've been at MDI-MD for about 2 months. I've had no problems whatsoever. I can't speak as to MDI-FL. Maybe someone else could chime in on that one.
Haven't heard anything either :(

Haven't seen or heard of this at all
Yeah, they're low on work right now; however, I haven't seen any QA positions eliminated nor have I heard that they're losing two big accounts. Proof?
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
I don't work weekends or holidays. MT FOR 10 YEARS
NM
I am working on it - haven't run out yet- honestly
nm
I haven't heard back from them yet. (sm)
Does it seem to take a long time to hear back from them? I went to the website, filled that info. out and the test last week. Do they pay more than 9 cpl?
If you haven't heard back from her she will
contact you. She is a sweetheart. She's just really busy right now. Try giving her another call or email. I am also employed by Transcribe it Quick.
Never heard of them and because I haven't, I did not apply.
I think they must be another new one. They come and they go, but in their case, they should have told something about themselves. They obviously do not have a website either.
I haven''t heard anything about layoffs..
and I work there...not that that surprises me or anything.  Was this a particular office or just certain accounts? I'm currently looking for a new job, but I'm obviously curious and would like to pass this along to some of the other MTs so they know what's coming. Thanks so much for any help! 
I haven't heard anything except on this board SM
Has anyone (other than the previous poster a week or so ago) called WebMedX to see if they are hiring for the account?
I tested them and haven't heard anything...
It has been almost 3 weeks. I have already signed up with another company. I hope they get back to you. I keep thinking maybe I failed the test, but know I couldn't have because I used the Dorland's to be sure I was answering everything correctly. Good luck.
I haven't heard this either. would love to know more.

haven't heard a word
I accepted a position with Allegiant, was suppose to start yesterday, but haven't heard a word...............I getting tired of the transcription, business.
A couple of these I haven't heard much about, but most
of them have several posts, you just need to look through archives.
Did you apply? I did and haven't heard
The only thing I can find is that the pay is low, but if it is easy clinic work and the people are nice, sometimes it's worth the low pay. 
I hope she's doing okay. I haven't heard anything sm
about Allstate going out of business. I hope someone posts some information.
I did. Haven't heard anything back. You? nm
I've only heard of Intellitype. Never heard of Teletype.

Haven't heard for a month since I applied
/
Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
Not a thing.
I haven't heard anything. Is it all accounts and platforms? nm

applied and haven't heard a word......nm
