In Reply to: She is here to slander a good company just simply - AZ MT
and even though I don't work for her, I'd stand up for her any day of the week. If the original poster has an ax to grind, it certainly doesn't make him/her come across as a _professional_ by making a slanderous remark and then acting like a juvenile. It is certainly the owner's right to conduct business in a manner that is best for the company and changing one's mind about who to do business with is her right in order serve her company, clients and employees best interests.

I wholeheartedly agree
The idea is to get people who want to work weekends. Do not eliminate good candidates just because they cannnot work weekends. This is why Transcend is having a problem. Plenty of people would work Mon-Fri.
I agree wholeheartedly
Transtech used to give a bonus if you sent less than a certain percentage of reports to QA but the problem was that the MT would type anything to avoid a blank and send it on without bothering to double-check.
On the flip side, a lot of people apparently didn't care about the QA bonus and they left the reports for QA to fill in because they were either not knowledgeable or resourceful enough to complete the reports themselves, so they left the dirty work to QA. Then, QA had to look up information that the MT should have looked up in the first place. And nothing was ever done about it. Laziness was rewarded at TT.
I used to work in QA at Transtech and I speak the truth. Quality work was not rewarded there. What was rewarded was sending any old garbage to the client, but when garbage was sent to QA - nothing was done about it.
I moved to a job where QA actually means something. Where quality actually means something. I never got that vibe during my employment at TransTech. They were nice people but the QA process was sorely lacking. I hope that has changed over the past year but I really doubt it.
And, no, there was no way that every employee at TransTech had at least 5 years' experience.
I agree wholeheartedly
Just wanted to let the person know that overall they are a good company, not perfect, but good enough for me to recommend them. I worked for them for almost 3 years.
i wholeheartedly agree!!

Thank you, Admin. I agree wholeheartedly. NM
..
I also wholeheartedly agree with this post.

I wholeheartedly agree, stay away from SPi
or you are just looking to get into a bad situation.
I wholeheartedly agree. They start everyone no
matter how experienced, no matter how well you aced the testing on a tier system of pay, everyone starting out around 7.5 cents per line.
You get no respect from this company!
I agree wholeheartedly but look at CBay
they are still thriving, and more and more companies are at least dabbling in overseas, certain percentages. Not to mention, I am seeing a lot of companies downsizing, like MQ, where hoardes of people are shifting right now, and many smaller companies are getting bombarded with applications so getting a job right now is incredibly hard because if you do not accept the pay they offer, or their insurance they just hire the next MT.
Something I have discovered is health insurance is almost nonexistent anymore, I mean how did that happen in the last 6 months, and right under our noses -
my health insurance went up almost double in July, and now my pay went down due to lack of work/more difficult work...
many companies also dangle the health insurance in front of you now to take it away if you do not meet their almost impossible criteria of keeping it.
from what I see it is getting worse every month so I am not sure how we can make a difference.
Excellent post. Agree wholeheartedly. sm
The dictator must take responsibility for what is dictated. In addition, today's MTs aren't as adept at editing as those of us who had proper training, use the appropriate resources, and do not use Google as our exclusive resource.
If you frequent the word boards, you will see what I mean. A couple of days ago, an MT posed a question that her ESL doc said that the patient worked in a laundry. She wanted to change it to laundramat. The MT admitted she did not know that a laundry was a place! These new MTs don't even own an English dictionary.
I initially had a hard time dealing with the verbatim concept. After seeing several reasons for its initiation, I've happily resigned myself to light editing as client allows. I got over it. Look around you and you will also see how this industry has changed in the last 10 years. It ain't what it used to be. Time to roll with the changes.
I knew what you meant, and I wholeheartedly agree!
If one cannot trust their hourly employees to do a good job especially when on the norm there are evaluations on employees at some point time, then what have we got here? To simply say there must be a minimum production is like saying we're slaves to the grind.
Countless and I mean countless times when I worked on-site, I was pulled to a different area to help answer phones and even perform EKGs (yup), and I never bellyached that my typing was getting behind UNTIL the manager wanted the TAT report from me. Oh yeah, every so often, she needed to report to her superiors what day we were working on. What a joke! 
No matter how hard we tried, we were treated like the machines people expect us to be with not even a thanks. 
I agree wholeheartedly! I stand my ground. USA only. sm
I have had clients threaten to look elsewhere for a lower price and I tell them, please do so. I have to agree with you here, they always come back willing to pay the rate and happy to have the quality and service I provide.
I have never lost a client forever to offshore, will never offshore, and sooner or later all MT work will be back on US soil again. Believe me, it will happen eventually.
Wholeheartedly agree - wouldn't bother with test (sm)
You would have felt really good after you left.
This person is nuts. She does not know the owner, and if she did sm
she would know that she does not play slot machines. Ever. She goes to casinos a few times a year, not often, and WHO CARES WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER FREE TIME AND MONEY? I know her well and obviously this person does not. This person is obviously trying to hurt the reputation of someone who doesn't deserve to have her name ruined. The truth is that the owner works 7 days a week, more than 8 hours most days. That's why we all have enough work to keep us busy and why our benefits keep increasing and why we do not have pay cuts. Geesh. Personal attacks on someone's integrity. This board is getting worse and worse.
So you can believe an anonymous person who is friends with the owner
when they say it isn't so, but you believe an anonymous poster who says they are losing the account? If you have concerns call the company. You've come here many times in the past and griped about this company. You have the right to do so, but you're still with the company. Could it be that they are one of the best companies out there, not perfect, but better than most?
The person who posted the job ad today is the owner of the company, not the recruiter.
Professional MT Recruiting Services run by a woman named Terri is no longer allowed to recruit on this website. However, it should be understood the actions of the recruiter should not be held against All American Medical Transcription.

I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Don't work for KS but work for SS - another company bashed
Works GREAT for me and I love SS. I never really care what the negatives are as I have found they are usually people that can't make their lines, don't work the hours they commit to or just overall do not care!
Oh, I agree, but the owner is foreign, so
xx
I agree! I talked to the owner and another manager and it was not bad terms. sm
Not that it is anyone's business, but they have only nice things to say about her. If you ask if she was fired, Lee said that it was mutual and that she wishes the ex-recruiter well. I think it was unexpected and happened fast and then they both changed their minds, but who knows? M was a very nice person but I think she was too soft to be a recruiter. It's a tough job that I would never want. I doubt if it pays well either.
I agree with the short-term person..
It seems like I only get the worst of the worst dictators from the hospital. I see other "American" names but have never seen them dictate. I get nothing but ESL or very poor dictators. I do think they take nothing but overflow work also on certain accounts.
I also agree that they over-hire. I have not been able to make full-time lines in the last 6 pay periods--never any work during the day, and when there is, it is the crappy (maybe leftover) stuff that no one else wants to do.
QA is not that nice, and even though they know we get all the crappy dictators, they have told us that we are sending too much to QA and that until QA catches up because we are not figuring out our own problems, we cannot be assigned to any new accounts. I already have 4 but still not enough work. I am relatively new so decided to tough it out and wait to see if maybe there is more work later.
I don't HATE Webmedx, but they do have some problems that you may want to stay away from.
Just my opinion...
I believe you wholeheartedly....
Your debit card is another..... Your resume posted on the internet is another way to find out about you..... Online banking can be a great tracker and so can facebook... the list goes on and on........ 
I'd have to disagree with you wholeheartedly.
I worked there for years and saw large groups of people leaving at least on 3 or 4 different occasions. They are always advertising for new MTs, and a good majority of their work is VR with heavy turnover in accounts. VR is supposed to cut down on the need for new MTs, so do the math yourself. They always say that they're getting new accounts, but it doesn't make much difference if getting 2 small accounts and a huge one dumps them or the 2 new accounts go VR and they only need half the MTs they needed to go-live. They are NOT one of the better companies to work for and many, many people have had the same bad experiences with them. Just read the archives.
RE: I'd have to disagree with you wholeheartedly.
Don't need to read archives. Work there currently and do not have the problems you describe.
Yes, even without a raise, currently compared to my other choices, I would wholeheartedly recommend
As far as ESL - yes. Most accounts are 60%+ at least from what I have been offered. However, I would have to say that only on certain days do I get 60% ESL and most the time, I have an easier time understand the ESL dictators more than some of the non-ESL dictators. I guess it is kind of a wish-wash in regards to ESL. I would say even though it sounds like a lot, I think they are pretty comparible at least in my experience.
VR depends on what account you are on. Some of my accounts are phenominal and others not so good. However, they do give you the option to remove dictators (though don't seem to listen to half my requests) if their VR is bad. Plus the pay is the best in the business for VR at least from what I have seen.
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
it USED to mean owner (sm)
back when most MT services were little and there was a real owner. Now that there are so many huge multinationals with no owner to take personal responsibility for the service, it's sort of transmogrified to mean organization, but that's redundant.
Just take it as meaning a service. Once again, AAMT, worthless as ever, ruins the language.
no changes that i know of. Same owner.
x
and this is the new owner
 My god you people are so gullable. That picture could have come from anyones kitchen!!!
How do you know? Are you the owner?
They are obviously losing something if there's no work. Have you been with them since they started or something? Do you know of every account MDI has or what? How can you make a blanket statement like that?
I can't believe people sit frustrated about no work and don't move on; that's just plain silly. There are tons of companies hiring; get on with it already! Come on show your stuff to a company that will appreciate you and not OVERHIRE!
Owner? sm
I thought someone named Tracy owned Net-Med?
Should be owner's...sorry. nm

A few posts on here say the owner is a mean one. nm
,
Owner is snarky.

As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Oh, okay. I thought it was okay because the owner
people are saying DEROGATORY things about her. I was saying GOOD things and mine was deleted.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.
Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.
I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.
Walk a mile in my shoes!
You said you spoke to the owner.
You are not credible.
owner, not organization.
Remember the Owner
I remember reading another board a few years back....maybe quite a few years...and I remember distinctly J. Weight's name. I know she was one of the most argumentative and flaming people out there. Stay away.
Why would you talk to owner?
Perhaps she is an account lead. That, or a buttkisser.
Why I spoke with the owner - sm
SHE called me, SHE hired me, SHE promised me a job at a certain rate, SHE gave me all kinds of excuses why the job never materialized and then I never heard from anyone again. Enough said.
I also spoke with the owner for the same
exact reasons. She called me, she hired me, she emailed me daily, she offered me account after account, which never materialized while I did crap work just waiting for her promises to be kept. Guess what? They never were!
Owner of a company
I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
The owner will encourage you to
talk to her current staff, etc., but that is definitely biased. An anonymous board like this is is a safer.
