TT....I agree, feel I have finally found a home. nm

I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo

Finally found something decent sm
10 cpl weekdays and 14 cpl weekends,  YES!!!!! what company you may ask, email me privately, she is in need of at least 3 MTs.
FINALLY - found three MTs who I agree with completely.

What great posts. I get the feeling sometimes I am a loner in the satisfaction, my work ethic and passion for this profession.  I doubt like heck MTs will ever be replaced.  We may switch to editing but we are doing that now and surely within minutes of doing that, we become vastly sure that voice recognition will always need editing in the medical profession.  I'm not worried one bit. 


 


There are good and bad in every profession and there are always going to be those who complain more than they work.  Good golly, life and the MT jobs )or any job) are pretty much what you make them.  You do have some control.  I personally prefer IC but work more than the FT employee would.   You just have to be motivated and focused. 


 


I get to take time off for myself and go to lunch with my friends, stop and buy a new candle or plant for my desk and that is all it takes to refresh me and get me going again.  I have certain days of the week that I tell myself I am in an office and work like a mad woman.  If I lose momentum, I hang a picture of something I want to save for above my computer as motivation or that pesky utility bill or the kid's college tuition bill.  I don't lose time driving to work and don't have to stop and fill my gas tank, get up for coffee break every 2 hours and don't have anyone tapping me on the shoulder to give a donation for Suzie's cat that had the measles.  I do not answer the phone and I do not have the TV on.  I wouldn't working in an office,  would I?  I do have Willie Nelson and George Strait playing softly in the background though and I get to pick my own music. 


 


The economy kinda stinks right now and we all know it.  Folks will always get injured, get sick, need surgery and we have an aging population.  Health care is about the most secure profession presently and almost always and we are an important part of that profession as MTs.  Even my bad days ain't that bad. 


finally found your post. It WAS bad, geez
Not going to get anywhere with that attitude for sure. Also, wonder what you thought this Company Board meant. Think now. This is a board to get your complaints out, the unfairness of it all. You question would take a considerable amount of time. Who has that, who wants to GIVE THAT much time.
I've had a lot of bad ones...finally found one that's pretty good sm
It is a struggle though!! I have worked for several that stunk up the place!! LOL Been cheated on line counts, etc. My best advice is to see if there are any companies near you, smaller, home-based MTSOs who have fewer employees. A way where you can actually get to know your employer. I found one not far from my house who advertised on Craigslist and she has been pretty good to work with.
absolutely love it thus far!!!! been through 3 lately and finally hope i can stay put and am alread

Keystrokes has new insurance (finally) that is reasonable and good coverage. sm
The cost for a single person is $404 per month but they pay 1/2, so it is $202 or $101 per pay check (1st and 15th). I received my papers and card and rx card last week and the coverage is better than the BCBS that I had with others. $20 per visit co-pay, instead of $50.
Wow, feel the love ...
Time for a group hug everybody.    
you will feel right at home and love it

Keystrokes is the best I have found for Radiology. nm

I am new at Keystrokes and have not found that to be the case at all. sm

I do less work, yes, but only because I am rather slow at learning Meditech, not because of lack of work.  I have never heard that said of anywhere, that new people are last to get work. I do not know where you get your facts, if indeed they are facts. 



Ha! I feel the same way about Keystrokes! Why are so many negative people on here?
I am off this morning and came here to see if anything is new, and wow! there is a lot of negativity again.

These companies would not be in business and would not be as large as they are if they did all the things they are accused of, did not have work, overhired, etc.

Come on now, people! If they are all out of work, who's doing the work? I doubt that any of these are truly out that short on work and overstaffed, especially as they are hiring!

It costs a lot to find, interview, hire, train and start an employee. They would not waste time (or the almighty dollar) by hiring people for no reason.
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
welcome..you will love it at Keystrokes...

I LOVE Keystrokes!
I just had my second day with KS and LOVE them! In just 6 hours, I was able to do 1600 lines! I have an AWESOME ER account and all of the dictators are so easy! I hope to be there for many years to come!
LOVE Keystrokes!
While I don't type ortho for Keystrokes, I do ER, and I LOVE it. I don't have any ESLs, I always have TONS of work, make excellent money and, most importantly, I am treated like an actual human rather than just some number or just another employee. My lead MT is the best and is always extremely helpful. I also received a welcome card in the mail from the office when I first started. They actually go out of their way to show their MTs that they do care. They are by far the best out there.
Love Keystrokes too
I've been with KS for a little over a month now and love it. I plan on being there for many years to come. I was also offered a job with TT before I went to KS, but was told that the account was over 75% ESL. I have no ESLs on my account with KS :)
Love Keystrokes
I have been there for a month now and love it. My manager is super friendly and helpful, and I always have tons of work. I am on an ER account and I did not have to purchase any equipment. They provided with a Transnet foot pedal, which was all that I needed. My account is awesome and my pay checks have almost doubled since I left my old company (SPI/CyMed) and started working for Keystrokes. I'm sure that they are not a perfect fit for every MT, but I am extremely happy there and hope to be there for many years.
Love Keystrokes
I have never worked for Zylomed, but I do work for Keystrokes and I love it. I have an excellent account and an awesome lead MT. They always pay on time (direct deposit), and I have also found them to be very flexible. The best part is that they do not outsource at all and keep all work in the US. I would recommend them to any MT.
Definitely not Keystrokes! Love it there!

Love Keystrokes
Been there nearly a year now, and I have had nothing but a great experience there. I would recommend them to anyone.
Welcome to Keystrokes...you both will love it!!!
I have been here over a year and I love it...couldn't ask for a better company to work for...
I was hired by the CEO and love my job at Keystrokes. sm
I agree with the lead person in that there is more here than you are telling. Did you not like the account? Did you not have the proper equipment, phone lines, etc? Did you send in your paperwork? Did IS set you up? If so, you were not forgotten by the CEO. After she hired me, I talked to Becky for paperwork, Val for my account and Paul for IS. I have never spoken to Lee again but I am glad that she hired me in the first place. Did you need her to hold your hand? Do you have problems with other companies too?
I have been with Keystrokes for a year now and I love it...
I love my account...my leads are helpful and I have as much work as I want...best move I ever made was coming to work for Keystrokes...Good luck!!!
I love Keystrokes..would recommend them to anyone...
Good luck with your decision...
I have been with Keystrokes for over a year and love it...
nm
Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
and only employee positions...
I would love to work for Keystrokes but
I do not have a personal computer with XP and they stated that I needed to supply my own PC with XP.  Once I find a place that I can buy XP at a reasonable price I will apply.
I love working for Keystrokes...
I can't answer the second part of your question because I have been with them for 2 years...but I know they are a stable company and I finally found the perfect fit for me...good luck!!!
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
I work for Keystrokes and I love it...

I work for Keystrokes and love it
Great company, good pay, great leads and plenty of work...I have been there for 2-1/2 years
Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!
nm
I have also been at Keystrokes 2-1/2 years and love it...
Great company.
I had to test for Keystrokes...have been there for 3 months...love it...
nm
Can't speak about Webmedex, but I love keystrokes.. sm
Best company by far that I have ever worked for. Steady work, good line counts, good specs, fair QA, on-time pay.
Keystrokes love fest question
It used to be (a couple of years ago) that anytime Keystrokes was on here it was all negative responses and no one had anything good to say.  Now it is a continual gush of admiration.  What changed?  Just curious.
Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...
nm
I work for Keystrokes on DocQScribe and love it. sm
I find that my line count is accurate (I pulled a few reports out into word and counted that way). ShortHand works, or I would not be able to type, seriously. I type 1500 lines a day, most days, worst being 700 in the beginning and 2357 being the best. This is 8 hours. I have done more but worked longer than 8 hours those days.

The only thing I was faster on was WP5.1+ with PRD+ but maybe it was just that my fingers were younger :)
Yes -- still at Keystrokes and still love it. :-) I am just looking for extra work. sm

I have worked 2 jobs for almost all of my life, so it is almost 2nd nature.  I think you will find Keystrokes a refreshing change from MQ.  They actually care about your well being and listen to you . They do not overhire.  The benefits are pretty good.  I do not have anything bad to say about them. 


Good luck! 


exactly....all of the people that I know that work for Keystrokes are happy and love their job...
move on if it is not the right fit for you...there are plenty of other companies out there...
I am not management...I just happen to love working for Keystrokes...
sorry you had such a bad experience but doesn't mean that Keystrokes is bad...just in your opinion...
I love Keystrokes...been there for 3 months and couldn't ask for a better place to work...
nm
I agree with Denise...I have also only been at Keystrokes for a shor time but I love it...it already

beats the company I was with before, and I was with them for a year-and-a-half...I can see if someone wanted an opinion about a company and you had a bad experience to share, but not just to get on here and say how horrible a company is...move on and good luck....


That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home.  Still, business is business.  I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it.  I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then. 
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!
x
Yes, I finally did.
Very, very small local company. I'm crossing my fingers that this will be my home for awhile. It's been a difficult journey trying to find some place that did what they said they were going to do, doesn't offshore and has enough work.
FINALLY!

Finally someone saying how pathetic it is to see those types of posts and them not take it off the board!  I posted one like that a few months ago and the "board patrol" wiped it off here that day! 


You are correct.  So many of the people act like teenagers on this board that I have found myself coming here less and less.  It's no fun to sit and listen to griping, complaining, cussing, and down right rudeness on here all time time. 


We should be coming here to get away from that!  Let's party!  Have fun!  Be happy!!!!
