seem to be implying that since AAMT happens to be located in the US then that is why the association is named the way it is.  You are incorrect in your implication and it is not right to post it in that manner on a public forum where new visitors get the wrong idea. 

really did okay, bout 80% VR.  Not sure what it is but lately the reports are coming in such a mess and such bad quality I am now not able to make a decent line count.  I believe  the push was on and they added facilities way too fast without everything being in place and lots of docs needing to learn how to use the durn thing and the system not used to the dictators (and with some dictators never will) that these accounts are now really so bad MY counts are even way less on VR  than they were 5 years ago.  The system has to have so many reports in to make the words come up correctly in future reports but is supposed to eventually get used to things.  But like I said, way to big a rush and push for VR and I don't believe companies or the system were ready. 

BUT the sellers of these systems who make quite the profit don't care and the MTSOs certainly don't care that we make such a pittance being paid by the line or if we can pay our bills and probably never will.  As MTs, we are certainly taking the brunt of all of this.  Pathetic.  Wonder what they will all do when more and more MTs move on to a job they can make a living at and the hospitals tell them they can't offshore??? 

How in the world do you guys make any money.  I am thinking of calling company up and telling them no thanks.  I trained for 2 hours then was let go to work another two.  Did 350 lines at 4.5 cpl.  What are the keys to making money with VR. I am using Dictaphone Express Editor.

to say I am SO impressed with this company.   Pay is better than average, pay for OT (the last 2 companies I have only been paid normal line rate for extra lines), shift differential.  Insurance starts the first day of the month after being hired, so no 90 day waiting period.  They may 50% of 401K up to 6%.  There is a 90-day waiting period for the 401K and some of the benefits.  Free vision insurance.  The medical/dental insurance is better than any I have seen and it is very reasonable.  I currently have insurance through my husband's company and while the premium is reasonable the insurance isn't very good, high deductible, high co-pay.  Their insurance is much better and I think premium is only $10/more than what we are currently paying.

Direct deposit. They supply computer/equipment.  I don't have personal experience with the platform yet, but it sounds user friendly.   They do expect you to work your schedule.

They train you on your shift, so that if you work third shift you don't have to train 1st shift, they will train you on third shift.  Paid for 4 hours of training at 13.50. 

I am so excited about starting with them.   They did not have an ad running when I applied, but according to their website they were hiring and I submitted my resume.  They have testing through a third-party company.  Testing is timed and one section gave me a little bit of trouble, but the transcription part was easy and not the horrible dictation that you often get.   I don't know if it actually represents their dictation since it is done through a third party and the dictation files I'm sure are subject to change.

good accounts, but watch out for the OM.  She is a real b**ch.

I work at home for six months and then go into the office for the other six months out of a year.  My point was that you are are judging everyone for saying negative things about different companies.  We express our opinions about different companies and try to help others out before they accept employment with them, or dish out a bunch of money for schooling. 

If you want positive things about companies, why wasn't your question "what is the best company you have every worked for" and "which school is the best to go to for medical transcription"? 

I happen to like my job, enjoy the people that I report to, and wouldn't change it for anything.

I would occasionally work on weekends when I needed extra $$ and there is no work on the weekends now.  Mondays also tend to be a little slow because they are keeping a tighter TAT and we aren't playing catch-up from the weekend, but even then I still get my lines.  

Are you a long-time QTer and not getting your lines?
