you are worth your salt at all!!!!

I worked for a small local MTSO when I was first an MT.  They agreed to pay me 6.5 cpl in WP5.1 for DOS.  I was paid every 2 weeks and got paid about $900 to $1100 every 2 weeks, which was fine.  I didn't have to pick up tapes either.

When a couple of us asked for a raise, we were told no, not on your life.  We don't charge the clients that much, and our call in system needs to be replaced, and and and.  Okay sure and I can understand these things.

The company had 2 partners.  Partner A was nasty to me because she was nasty to everyone.  My kids and I are at home eating jelly sandwiches for supper for the second week straight because my bills were so high, no support checks and I could not get a raise, but we were not starving exactly.  Meanwhile, the nasty partner tells me she won't be able to talk to me because she is meeting her contractor at 7 a.m. and I need to call in for work after 10 a.m.  They spent, she told me, $40,000 to redo the upper level of their home, put in 2 more bathrooms, extend the floor space and add another bedroom to total 3.  Oh she says, we could never have done it if I didn't own my own company and make so much money.  SLAP IN THE FACE.

Partner B that same year sold her house and moved to a place she could have horses.  That year, no raise and thumping us all about how much we SHOULD be doing.  The year after she bought that house, she bought a 6-horse air conditioned trailer, a Suburban to pull it, built a barn to hold 8 horses and bought two colts and a draft horse.  She also said, they could never have had this if she didn't own her own company and make so much money.  SLAP IN THE FACE AGAIN!

I cried in front of my kids and I just won't do that, but darn it they had not had new shoes and had been moved into $2 flip flops for the summer in late April because I could not buy them any new ones and the others were too small.  We had been rounding out the food by going to a food bank when they would let us and I had sold off everything I dared to.  These gals didn't type a line the entire time I worked there.  They were too busy but apparently not too busy to spend the money we earned FOR THEM and not ourselves.  My house payment was $1200, more than half my income and they got to have horses and trailers and cook out with ribeyes (trust me on that, I saw them do it). 

Yup, mistreatment and I think this gal probably has a similar story to tell you.

Would anyone have any info on this company based out of Wisconsin?

TIA!

 I have been working for this company for 6 months as an IC (editor and MT).  The owner is great to work and pay is always on time.   The dictators I get are like dreams.  Having to have a C-phone can be a bit of an obstacle, but luckily for me I am an oldie and so I have one.  Great work, straight  typing and you are actually paid for what you do.  I know there are so many questions about different companies and I wanted to give my opinion on this one.

Have a great day!

Medscript Transcription Service, out of Watertown or Oconomowoc - has anyone worked there,  any info good or bad to share?

Mediscript and Medscript out of Texas and/or Florida are different companies and not what I'm looking for.   Thanks. 

Hey fellow MTs - I got an immediate response from AccuStat (WI) when I replied to one of their ads.  I did some research on the company before I told them I was interested.  My reply email was 12 hours after they sent me theirs.  Now I haven't heard from them.  I wonder if I waited too long to respond.  I was actually trying to decide between 2 companies and guess I took too long.  Haven't heard back from either one of them.

The job searching and not knowing what's behind door #3 is the almost the worst part of this profession. 

Thank goodness for this board!  I have made many, many a career decision based partly and sometimes entirely on these comments.  TY!

and now offering direct deposit.   This is a great company to work for.  It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin.  The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children.   There is plenty of work and you use  Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe.  The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English.   I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not  think of working anywhere else.  Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!

HELP PLEASE- The company that I have been transcribing for (RADIOLOGY ONLY) for the past three years, just told me that they are going to switch over to voice or speech recognition and want me to come up with a fee for being the proofreader....I HAVE NO IDEA! Any help that you can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!
