I agree, although I have worked all shifts and communication stinks no matter what.

I think emails get lost in the abyss. Sadly, your sending email to like eight people and still no answer. No thanks. I'm glad I am out of there. The only thing I did like was payment on time and DD. That's it. Very stressful job

agree, i didn't take the position because the health insurance stinks
the deductibles are too high
Yes, I agree they need to have better communication on almost everything.
nm
Clunky program, and I have to agree about the bad communication. nm
nm
I sure agree with you about the lousy communication. It seemed to be a company wide
nm
I love it there...best place I have worked...plenty of work, pay on time, excellent communication...
wonderful supervisors...who could ask for more?
I agree, size really does matter! :) SM
With a work force mainly at home, it just becomes unmanageable to try and run a well oiled machine and give each MT the kudos they deserve where there are so many of them. I would settle for a small company any day. They don't have the luxury of treating good employees badly. No MQ for me. As far as contributing, I would contribute mentoring and put my 35 years' experience to use bringing along the next generation. I would also do away with the 65 character line standardization initiated by AAMT (who have since stepped away from their discovery) and go back to the gross line, which is much more verifiable for billing and for paying the MT. Lastly, I would educate the powers that be that the MTs are not their cross to bear. They are, in fact, their bread and butter and they deserve a decent wage, benefits, and respect.
I agree. As a matter of fact,
I do believe that I recognized the very ad you are speaking of as being a company called Intellitype??? maybe (something like that). Anyway, I had wondered why this ad did not state the company name, and it seemed a little fishy to me. Although it occurred to me later that I had seen some negative posts here regarding that company, so perhaps that's why.
Precyse - do they allow split shifts and what are the shifts? (sm)
I see they are hiring for 2nd and 3rd shifts. I know a friend of mine works for a company where as long as over half your shift is in that time frame it is acceptable.
It says they are hiring for new accounts, might be a good time to make a change.
Agree 100% professionals should be courteous at all times no matter what employee status

Agree-I have worked for a lot of services
and everyone wants certain things their own way, I took everything the QA people said and did it right then, no argument. I don't take that kind of stuff personally anyway, so if they tell me to put a space somewhere and take colons out somewhere else, I am fine with it. The only comments I really got were things that were specific to the software, so I felt really good about the whole experience.
I totally agree! I have worked both at
home and at a hospital and I found it true for both locations. I'm starting clinical next week and will only have to deal with doctors that are assigned to me. I already know who the doctors are, so I can get a feel for them. I'm tired of acute care and the BS these companies tell you. I've had enough ESLs to last me a lifetime! As soon as I exceed my quota and get into incentive range - they PLOP the ESLs on me so I don't make more money.
With clinical I know where I stand.
I too worked at SS once and totally agree with you.
The worst company by far. Remember when that SS manager came on and threatened a poster (you?) with legal action for posting a letter they received from the company? Awful, abusive and really, really dumb people working there. There are many better companies out there than this one and as bad as some are, SoftScript was the WORST.
I agree. I have worked for them almost 2 years. sm
We had a slowdown when one account decided they wanted to leave. They learned a hard lesson and came back, and things have been smooth ever since. Even with the slow-down, it was just that.... slow.
The work is good. The pay is good. It's on time. They leave you alone and let you get your work done (for me, the no BS issue was a major factor). QA is always available. The owners are kind, and there is NO ASR/VR.
There are people here who like to trash the company, but I strongly suspect it is one, maybe two, people with a vendetta. Otherwise, it's a good place to work.
Have to agree with you there. When I worked there, I never cared for the sm
sweety and hon terms that were thrown around. (I dislike it when waitresses call me hon, too -- makes me feel like I'm about 12 years old.) I also think the term awesome is overused. The Grand Canyon is awesome. I am not. And telling me you rock is not much compensation for having no work and no money.
That being said, I always liked D and everyone else. It just didn't pay the bills.
I agree, it's a great company! I have worked
at many places, but Transcend is the best. No company is perfect, but I have been very happy here.
I so agree. Worked w/them for short time sm
and one of the worst experiences of my career. Too many things to list. Horrid.
Agree exactly with Dano.. worked there but that does not sound familiar.
I honestly only worked there a month and left for personal reasons, but I will say that they were very nice and everyone was very helpful. I never encountered a moody person.
I agree. Extext is the platform I've ever worked with. nm

I agree. I was with MQ and made fabulous money and worked for
large universities. Finally, I had enough and left 2 years ago and never looked back. It wasnt easy at first learning new hospitals but I am still at that place and am fine. Actually, I like learning new hospitals every now and then, takes care of the boredom. Now dont get me wrong, the money isnt as great, but I cant take the boredom. I lose my focus when I get like that and get sloppy I think. You just dont watch as closely so every now and then you need a reality check and get pulled back into shape, at least I do. I focus much more closely on new accounts.
Do you really mean 12/14/05 or 2/14/06? Stinks either way. nm
s
0.7 cpl STINKS
I heard back too. No thanks!
GP.... This really stinks.......... sm
I'm really sorry it has happened to you, but like one poster said below, I rather think the ACLU would be interested in this.
I had an employer who threatened to sue me once when I left the company if I influenced any MTs to go with me (as though I had that much influence). I never heard another peep out of him, and hopefully you won't out of this either. I'd cross my fingers for you, but that makes it kinda hard to type. ;o)
I'd take the other job offer. MQ stinks!
x
Their program stinks!

Cymed STINKS....sm
If you are considering working for this company, they pay 7 cpl for employee status, they do NOT pay for spaces and the lady that does the training is so rude it ain't funny....either she is overworked or she is just a wicked cow!
PLUS, they do outsource and some of the offices lie to you and say they pay for spaces, they don't.
I wouldn't say DSG stinks.....
I previously worked at DSG, but didn't stay because of the sound quality. I now work at GIMT, and their sound quality doesn't even compare! It's so much better than DSG. Other than the sound quality, DSG was okay.
The whole thing stinks. (sm)
I don't think you are getting it! You do realize that before you get a job to edit that it first goes past an Editor in India, don't you?
Crazy stuff, an offshore MT types it, it is then edited by an offshore editor (who is not much better than the MT)and then it comes to us to be edited again with a 100% listen.
I think we have all accepted the fact that offshoring is a reality and we all knew when we accepted the position with MW that we would be editing offshore work, but I did not sign up to work for slave wages ($8) an hour.
I have no clue what your situation is, but I am way too good to work for that. I also have more pride in myself then to be insulted by the people of MW.
I understand, but that stinks for us who need help...
I figured that would be the answer :( Oh well, back to square one.
The pay stinks, in my opinion.

United Stinks!
I tried to work for United for a few days. I specified MULTIPLE times I am NOT a morning person. They disrespected me and called ALL DAY, started phoning before 7 a.m. to ensure I don't sleep at all since I went to bed after 6 a.m.!!!! They sent an email telling me to phone them when I feel like speaking to them. Great...I won't break any nails dialing the phone - TWO MORE STAFF PEOPLE CALLED ME TO HARASS FURTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why were they calling? To ask why I was not typing right then!!! Well duh!!! Second shift begins at 3 p.m. my time and all this drama was going on at 1 p.m. my time!!!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!! GET AN EDUCATION!!!!!!!! LEARN THE TIME ZONES JERKS!!!!!!!!! So, for the money and the harassment and the sweat shop atmosphere, I recommend any other company. This one is not worth the hassle, the time, or the energy since the staff is disrespectful, hateful, inflexible, inconsiderate, unprofessional and unacceptable. Is the money even worth it? No, for my 15 years' experience, they offered 0.08 a line. Oh..another thing...I told them I would work this weekend - they don't have an auto job feed so it took over 3-4 hours for someone to 'send me work since their system is antiquated. Yes, you have to rely on someone to send you work in order to have anything to type and then they send you 2 jobs, you type, you request more work, and you get more work after having downtime of 2 hours. So...in 8 hours, you are lucky to have typed 5-8 jobs. So, to get up to 15 jobs, count on 12-16 hours a day!!!!
stinks as compared to what?
x
maybe the account stinks
nm
It stinks right now, worse than ever - sm
It seems no one pays much anymore and if they don't post their pay and ask you to state what your requirements are and you tell them, you never hear from them again. Or worse, they have idiotic platforms that are not MT friendly, no matter what they say. I swear there are no decent-paying jobs out there anymore for the MTs who have been doing this for over 20 years.
It's still Apex and it still stinks sm
I'm hoping to leave there this week. It is Apex and it really is the pits. There is nothing MT friendly about it. I also came to realize they only have 1 account so with that always running low there isn't much hope for making a living there.
yes, it is Scribe and it stinks! nm
xxxxxxxxxx
The platform stinks.
a'fkdakdafkd
You emailed me to tell my pay stinks? sm
well first of all, I work part-time 4 hours a day, and make up to $100 a day, so that is $25 an hour, so don't email me and tell me I don't make squat. you don't know anything about my situation, and at least I don't make 4 cents a line for VR, so I consider myself fortunate. Why did you ask such a weird question, then I answer, then you rip. Just another one of the bitter, unprofessional people on this board.
D&L shifts, etc ...
There are no shifts, that's the good thing. Let's say you have an ortho surgeon and he dictates 3 days a week. He becomes your primary and whenever he dictates, usually you will know what days and everything, you may have 2 day turnaround or just 24 hour turnaround, just depends on the doctor you have. They generally will give you more than one doctor depending on how much work you want. I had 4 doctors. One was every day, 24 hour, another was 3 days a week, 48 hour, another was split between 2 people because he was every day and lots and lots, and they also give you a secondary doctor so you can be backup. It is really flexible cause there are no shifts as long as you get the work back to them in the time frame that you are required to for that particular doctor. I don't think think they deal much with the basic 4, at least not when I worked for them. The only downfall was no direct deposit and cpl. Otherwise, I would recommend that company for flexibility compared to some others.
TT shifts
Yes, shifts are required and you are supposed to complete the whole shift, even if you have already met your minimum line count before it's over. On the other hand, you can make up lines anytime you want. They've been great to me whenever I've need to swap a day or change my shift by an hour or two, etc.
TT shifts:
Here is an excerpt: ****
*** Please do not post company communications. ***
The company stinks and if you look back through
the archives you'll be hard pressed to find a good post about them, and then they have to be from someone in management. Even people that didn't listen to our experience and went to work for them are living and regretting they didn't listen. Absolute worst company there is.
DSG stinks. GIMT is great though
nm
Exactly. India work stinks.
x
grapevine that their platform stinks. Otherwise, I know nothing
m
I knew Transcend stinks,
and they try to hide behind a femce with everything including training pay, which you do not get.
They overhire. Their program stinks.
The training is worse. They outsource work so there is nothing left. The transcription program is horrible and you do 3 times as much work to do a document as you would anyplace else. You cannot use automatic numbering, you cannot do this, you cannot do that, and new rules every day. You spend all day clicking and changing everything.
My account is just over the border in US and it stinks.
nm
Sorry, but your whole story stinks and is really gettting so old!nm
nm
Sorry VR STINKS, I emailed you instead of posting.
You can disregard or share!
you can pick from 3 different shifts
10-6, 11-7 or 12-8 and I believe you have to work Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. You type and get paid hourly, but you have to do a minimum of 1000 lines a day. That's about it in a nutshell.
yes but you can work 1 of 3 different shifts 10p-6a, 11p-7a, or 12a-8a
