Care to elaborate on that a little more - sm
Is this the only job you've ever had?? I have interviewed for many jobs in my lifetime, some I was interested in, some I was not. Some that started at $20,000 and others starting at $60,000. I have never thought any questions were strange. The questions that you find strange are probably to weed out what kind of person you are, what kind of situations you can handle, etc. It's a lot easier, I think, than coming right out and asking the obvious questions. Heck, even Red Lobster asks "odd questions" during their interview process, such as, "if you were walking down the street and you THOUGHT you recognized someone across the street, but you weren't sure, what would you do or say?"
A lot of recruiters are generally screening for potential hires before passing them along to the person that does the actual hiring and has more information about particular positions. So in the incident you stated above, that particular recruiter may not necessarily have that information.

how childish.
To: Shelly Hendrix- Care to elaborate on the BeyondTXT.
Thanks.
Transcend interview today. Anyone care to elaborate on the ins and outs?
Their ad said Acute Care Transcriptionists and VR editors, so I am assuming that they do have some straight typing positions, right? I know waiting 120 days for benefits is a bomber, but I need something else like right now. How is the pay, incentives, communication, platforms, etc.
Heard Keystrokes was getting better benefits, medical insurance etc.. Anyone care to elaborate? I
ready for a change. 
I don't care why your check is late
Late is late. There is no excuse for any company paying anyone late. Quit that B#$TCH NOW.
No, just started 3 new acute care hospitals at Medware

Anyone else new with MedWare still waiting on your first check? DD doesn't start until

Medware employees, please check your Social Security statement
I worked for MW in 2005 and just got my annual Social Security statement. It has a big fat zero for my 2005 earnings. They also withheld 10% of my salary (at my request) for 401(k) account, but that account also had a zero balance. I reported that to Dept. of Labor and have now notified SS. Please be aware and check, take care of yourselves because they sure will not do it for you.
I've seen firsthand that many hospitals just don't care. nm

I've got mine, too, sista, but whereas you care nothing except about yourself,
there are those of us here who understand what is happening in this forcing of being creditialed. You obviously don't have a clue, but that is generally the case with the me attitude so prevalent in today's world, an attitude you have displayed magnificently, BTW. I got my CMT because I WANTED to, not because I was FORCED to. Will being forced to be credentialed make you a better MT? NO. No more than being called an MD makes you a good or even excellent doctor. And boy, do we know some really stupid, careless, arrogant, physicians who ought to be in prison today instead of practicing medicine? Doesn't really make any difference that they have MD as a title, does it?
Medware- I've never been happier with

I've got over 10 years acute care experience and
the recruiter (same one for the last 100 years) called me and talked to me like I was an idiot. I pretty much told her to take her attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine. I also told her I can see why they are ALWAYS looking for MTs. She was a B-I-O-T-C-H !!
I've never had my check held..
I realize there are some companies that have this practice, which is basically getting you in their pay period schedule, but I have never had this happen. I discuss this up front and all my checks have been mailed or DD within 2-3 days of end of pay period. You need to look at your contract.....it should be spelled out.
From what I've heard, I'd go with MedWare and would not consider Spheris.
That's just from the reading I've done. I think Spheris used to be Edix, and my understanding is that the software holds people back from producing well.

this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.
this is at the MOHCA site as well.
I've only been gone 2 months but no check. I have called
and gotten voice mails. I have left messages and still no check and no returned calls. I did get my last check though.
I had no work either on 3 accounts, but didn't know I could stay logged in.
I can honestly say that I havenever told anyone the amt of a check I've gotten....
and I don't intend to start now. Sorry!
I've worked there 7 years and had what I thought was a problem with my check, but that was
due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.
Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.
Could someone maybe elaborate on why they are

Can anyone elaborate on the
mean stuff this woman did? I have been in contact with her via email and from what I understand after the 45-day waiting period, then checks come every 2 weeks. Did I misunderstand that? Also, she does pay gross line, but I'm not sure 6-7 cpl works out to be 10-11 cpl as she has stated to me. Any more information on her, especially the meaness!, would be appreciated.
Can you elaborate?
I am actively searching for employment and anything you want to share will certainly be helpful to me. Thank you!
Can you elaborate?
How did you determine there was a discrepancy? If it's just the lag time, that doesn't mean there is a problem with 'lines being counted' per se, only with the amount of time until the information is available. I'd really like to know because I have not had a problem...
Can you elaborate?
Please tell us why .... tell us the positives. Want to know.
Please elaborate
I used to work there and thought it was the pits. Crappy accounts with very heavy ESL. Nasty emails from a VP whose alter ego was a typing cat (or was it a dog?) or some such nonsense. QA person with superinflated ego. Newbs promoted to QA in months (and by newbs I mean new to MT, not just new to the company). I could go on and on. Nobody knew anything about the benefits and I don't even know if they had a human resources dept or not. Please do tell how they have suddenly become great, and I'm not being sarcastic.
can you elaborate?

ELABORATE PLEASE!!
Seriously? Please give me some details if you don't mind because I have just started with them, but have had major computer issues and am thinking of throwing in the towel. Which team were you on? I hate the fact that the recruiter hired me for clinical when she didn't even know it was acute care/hospital work or she lied! I must admit, I have the same feeling you do. I have only been working for them about three weeks and it seems like three years!!!
elaborate...
You complimenting or complaining? OP makes perfect sense to me.
Please elaborate....
All you say is, no good...all bad and ugly.
That doesn't offer the OP (or any of the rest of us who'd like to also know) any information whatsoever to enable him/her to make a decision on whether or not the company would be good or bad for THEM.
Your post is of no value to the OP or the rest of us who are looking.
I'm asking that if you have any information on the company on WHY you say it's no good or bad and ugly, would you please elaborate on that?
What is bad and ugly to YOU may not be what others consider to be the same.
to elaborate...
Upon being hired I was quoted line rates, counts, etc. These turned out to be false and the recruiter informed me she was not a recruiter so I shouldn't hold her accountable for misquoting them to me. Their platform does not give you anyway to track your progress or verify work that you have done. You can check line counts but there is no way to go back and check what work you have done. So when my line count actually went down by 50 lines while I was logged off eating lunch, that sent up yet another red flag. And with the platform there was no way for me to go back and manually check each report. Lots of miscommunication and half truths and the recruiter and trainer will tell you completely conflicting things about how things work there as well. I took a job with them against the recommendations of many, many MTs on here. Check some older posts. Looks like they were right. I didn't stay long. Hope that gives some insight.
Elaborate, please
They just requested a phone interview with me, and I'd love more info about the company, etc. TIA.
can you please elaborate?

30+ need to elaborate.
I love it there. Of course, anything that is said positive about any company is completely ripped apart by the posters on this board that there is really no use in saying anything.
Could you elaborate why? Low pay etc
Just curious as I was contemplating applying
It was such an elaborate lie
Oh, they told us the account was going to Powerscribe - but they totally lied about what that meant! They upgraded our hardware and software, made us go through training on how to edit Powerscribe, told us we would all be editors and even made us promise to give it an honest try and we'd probably like it - then the minute the docs got trained they sent NOTHING for editing, they did all the editing themselves! Nobody told us that would happen, we were led to believe we'd have the same amount of work as before, but we'd be editing VR instead of typing it. And still nobody will admit they are NEVER going to send us editing jobs. We just get told over and over that nobody knows why they're not sending us any work!
Shows how much all the faith and loyalty our team had really means - and shows just what they think of us!
Please elaborate
What were your experiences?
Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if

Could you elaborate or e-mail me as to why....
maybe with your experience?? TIA
I have read nothing. Please elaborate
as I too am considering them
Could you elaborate on the 8 cpl plus incentive?
Are you talking about production incentive or is there an incentive for being compliant with your schedule?
I believe I understand the differential for shift incentive, and I work mostly evenings anyway.
