Some things about MD to balance
As someone who worked there in the past and for whom it wasn't a good fit for, I will just point out that no company is a good fit for everyone. MD is a good company but it's not without flaws, and since you've now got a board full of job seekers wanting to check them out, I will just mention a few things about them.
They don't hold you to a schedule - they know technically they cannot -- BUT they do want you working normal business hours and if you don't, you won't get much work. I prefered to work at night and for three months got next to nothing from them. She didn't like that she didn't see me working during the day. The work is assigned at night and you are expected to have it completed by 5pm.
They offshore a lot of their work. A lot of work is done in South Africa and the Phillipines, maybe other places as well but for sure those two.
The program they use Med Rite XL is easy but messes with your computer. You cannot have Word open, and I remembered constantly having to reset Word because it would change my settings in my regular Word. My Word Normal file crashed due to the Med Rite program. I have had no problems whatsoever with my Word since deleting the program off my system.
I will say they are better than a lot of them but certainly not the only good company around. I say this because there are many good companies out there. Most of you will not get hired by MD - don't give up. I now am with a company that fits me great.
Try finding companies by Googling names you create. You'll find many companies not on these boards that way - thus a better chance they haven't had 10,000 apps. Know what you want.. do you like working the normal business schedule or do you prefer a company that says get me 1500 lines a day and we're happy? Do you like to work on a platform or not - many smaller companies will not have a platform. Are you looking for specific specialty, acute, or multiclinic?
Do not be afraid to ask questions before even testing. I would always ask the rate, the system etc. don't waste time testing for a company that's paying .07 per 85 characters when you really need .09 per 50. There are companies that pay good.

Mine's a good balance
If an account is going out of TAT, I'll have an email pop into my cue. If not, it's pretty much minimal contact.
On the other hand, I have a supervisor who is great about just randomly emailing to ask how I am, if I'm still enjoying my account, and asking how everything is going.
It's a nice personal touch I really appreciate.
I would hate to have to try and balance out # of MTs versus amount of work. (sm)
They can hire for a new account on projected number of lines and projected amount of lines each MT does, but so many variables are involved. That is exactly why I just do MT and let the MTSO and staff handle those issues. Too much for my little brain.
They are a great company and truly try their best. Give them a call. Can't hurt to try.
