She has 8 years of full-time experience, and they offered her 6 cpl for acute care! What a joke! They wouldn't even budge on the line rate. They told her that was their only and final offer. Needless to say, she didn't accept the position!

I have a good friend who was recently offered a job there - SM
She has 7 years of full-time experience, and they offered her 6 cents per line for acute care/basic 4! I couldn't believe it when she told me! Needless to say, she took a job somewhere else that paid much more than that!
good friend just graduated as RN -
She was offered around 60K to start. The most I ever made as an MT was 60K as an IC. I can only make about 25K now as an employee being paid at a much lower line rate. Do the math...Good luck! :-)
I have a good friend who works there and she ...
tells me that she loves the job. She says there is usually lots of work, except for the occasional holiday slowdowns that seems to be across the board for MTs. She said that she never has a problem with getting her pay and she said that likes the fact there there are not a large number of emails coming at you and interrupting the workflow.
good friend went to work for them
She was trained on the platform haphazardly and quit after one day. There is no grace period for getting docked for mistakes and from the first report, they started docking her pay for any type of mistake. The patient list came in a copied fax format that you couldn't even see and she said it was just awful trying to find a patient name.
I have a good friend who works there and...
My friend works there is happy with her job. She does say though that people either love it or hate it - no in between. I do know though that they are trying to go to mostly a voice recognition platform for their accounts and they are trying to phase out MTing as we know it.
A good friend of mine
who has been an MT for 30+ years had to quit Trans Tech because she was not making enough to pay her mortgage.
Hmmm...I had a good friend who had that
And things got worse from there. She finally had to quit. Can't help wondering if it's the same company. The woman she had contact with (not sure if it was the owner) was very coarse and always acted like she had too many things to do to worry about stuff like payroll. In fact, they didn't even send out a W2 form until my friend asked for it.
It was a totally chaotic situation.
I had a good friend who worked for them and had an awful experience.
She said that the work load was sporadic at best. They would either be drowning in work or starving. She said that her pay was late two or three times and when she questioned management on it they were extremely rude. She said that the owner/manager of the company was a nightmare who was prone to screaming fits and berating those who disagreed with her.
You can take this for what it's worth. I hope it helps with your decision.
they offered me a position.....good or bad?

Offered pay for 6 months experience... any good?
I got offered a position to type some reports in a specialty I have been typing for 6 months. I was offered 7cpl for 65 character line. Does not pay for hard returns, tabs, empty lines, headers, footers are not paid. Spaces between words are.
At my other position I was getting 6cpl including hard returns.
How do I figure out if this new offer is equal or better than what I already had?
Yes, I know neither are high paying. I am new to the industry, only finished my course 7months ago. BUT, this particular specialty is easy for me and I have very high marks with QA.
Any and all advise is welcome. Thanks!
Oh, I see! I was offered a QA position there. I'm a good old American!!! nm

Offered Job with Webmedx, Any Info? Good, the bad, the ugly??
The offer sounds really good. I would like to hear from current Webmedx'rs and see how you like it. Are the production incentives as good as they sound? The benefits??? Thanks in advance for any information to help me with my decision.
Have been offered EXTREMELY good position with All Type Inc.....sm
I unfortunately need to look for a new company, due to the fact that my MTSO has lost accounts and mine is one of them....I really love working with her. Anyway, looking elsewhere, All Type seems really wonderful, super-nice recruiter, IC status, flex schedule, very good cpl rate, choice of work-types, etc. Is this too good to be true, does anyone have experience here....cannot find much in search. TIA!!!
Ugh .. that's not good news. They offered me a position awhile back sm
but I went somewhere else. Now they sent me a thing again, listing their benefits,and it sounded pretty nice. I guess there is no such thing as the perfect job. 
Pay offered last year was 8 cpl/w on 1100 lpd. Some posters said they lost all their good accts
s
webmedix- I have 25 years exp., was offered low rate of pay. Heard it is a good company. nm

Got offered 1.5 cent/line this past week....she said her editors tell her they make good $$....

Tell your friend to RUN (and I do mean RUN)
The best way to describe that place is great money, but job insecurity. They routinely fire MTs without any warning whatsoever for trumped up reasons, and there is a lot of office politics and backstabbing that goes on behind the scenes. They just fired the president of the company a few months ago, and wouldn't even allow him back into the building to get his things. Now if they will treat the president of the company like that, just imagine what they would do to your friend.

r u eleena sylvia wallang...???
Your friend might be able to
contact her local law enforcement agency. There is such a thing as theft of services which might apply. SInce she works at home, the crime happened in her county. It would be worth a try if she has documentation.
My best friend
works for them and loves it there. I am applying for a job there soon. I don't think they give out the equipment anymore but I'm not sure.
I have a friend who had that twice. sm
Her hubby's insurance covered it both times and with 2 different policies.
Your friend needs to go to your
county/local courthouse and sign a complaint for the bad check. Depending on what state you live in, sometimes checks are collectable up to 3x the face amount plus court costs. It's no different than paying the plumber with a bad check. It's a shame one has to go through that to get paid, but she has to do what she has to do, right?
Me, too, my friend....
Me, too.
I found the email an insult to my intelligence.
I could use a friend also.
E-mail me if you wish.
Why would anyone divorce their best friend?
Don't most legitimate psychologists and relationship experts say that couples should be best friends? I don't have a horse in any race and am just reading this board, sifting through the posts and trying to get a feel for who's credible and who isn't. Your post just isn't passing the sniff test and is borderline bizarre, making me wonder how your ex could possibly help a stranger if you're an example of what happens when he spends extended time with someone. 
MT friend looking for a company...sm
that she could work just a couple hours a day, do about 300 lines/day or so (sometimes more). Is it possible? She is just unable to work much more than that b/c of a family situation and most places want a certain schedule or 2500 lines/week part time and she is unable to do either at this point. Anyone know of a company that she could check into? A decent company. Thanks.
Who you talking to friend?

How would your daughters friend
know your PIN number? Call United Way or 211 from your land line phone and ask for an agency referral to an agency who can possibly assist you.
I have a friend who is working for them and she also
makes the higher amount. I guess it depends on your test score and the account. They do not pay for spaces but .09 without is almost the same as .075 with so at .10 or .11 you are doing good. Good luck.
My friend used to work for them
And she kept running out of work, then one day they told her she was not producing enough so they scolded her by not sending her any work for 2 weeks, she found another job in the meantime. She said they go by weekly averages so if there is no work of course it brings you down.
Uh uh my friend. The AAMT is JUST as
.
I have a friend who works for them
and loves it, still very happy after a year and a half.
Sorry friend, you misunderstood a bit
I don't have any problem with a premium rate paid to scribes for harder dictators, but don't penalize the rest of the team by *lowering* their rate.
That means the client pays more for more difficult dictations, allowing the premium to be paid to the scribe.
No matter what type of dictation, easy, medium, or difficulty, transcriptionists are highly skilled, and should be paid accordingly.
my friend worked
for diskwriter and said they were a pain; always changing things and a bit demanding. but personally, I don't know..

Not all hackers, my friend.
Somebody tried to steal my identity, and they were in a foreign country. Thank god my credit card caught it in time.
That is just horrible for your friend...
I worked for DSG for over a year and they are constantly running out of work...when they do have a little extra, instead of waiting to see what happens they immediately start hiring again...and the same thing happens over and over....your friend is better off....
I have a friend who had a lap band, and even though
in the face and still, I repeat still, deals with the emotional issues that caused her to overeat in the first place. I am no skinny Minnie, but I know eating is a way to feed an inner problem that needs comfort. I am not obese, so I can't speak of what that feels like either, but even with a lap band you have to diet and exercise. A mental assessment is also a prerequisite. If you can get the problem as to why you overeat and do not exercise and diet, then I think that would be better than having the surgery.
My friend does say she cannot eat everything she wants, but she still complains of the same emotional stresses that she had before the surgery, which tells me this is deep-seeded and not something that can be fixed by having surgery.
The other thing to think about is as you get older how will this effect your body? I think nature has a way of taking care of us even if we are obese. Not all obese people have the same medical problems such as diabetes, arthritis, thyroid disorders, and shortness of breath.
Please think if you can about a way to try exercising first before having an extremely risky surgery that the outcome is not always positive.
I have a friend who works for them - sm
They are AOK. They leave her alone and she enjoys the work.
Not sure how the pay works, but my friend's min. a day is 100

I think you are out of line my friend.
To suggest we cannot work a day shift AND post here occasionally is ridiculous. I am your co-worker. I myself take frequent breaks for mind and body reasons, and come here often throughout the day. Lighten up, be happy, and TRY to be helpful :)
My friend just got a job there a few weeks ago...
and they are so far behind in QA that she didn't even get a paycheck yet because her reports haven't cleared QA yet...that is wrong on so many levels..
I have a friend who has been with them for more than a year sm
According to her, they have decreased her line rate twice because of QA errors, but they have never told her what the errors are and she has asked many times. They are always calling and emailing and getting after her about the number of lines she does. One day she will be 20 minutes late getting on the system and they call her. The next day she might be 2 hours late and nothing. She says she has NEVER EVER gotten a single QA feedback anything. It took them a year to cut her line rate the first time and complain about her work, but that was the first she had heard of it because again, no feedback in that time. She also said she has had difficulties getting paid the line rate she was contracted to receive in the first place and after these cuts she has seen her checks reflect a larger cut than they said they would be making.
I had called them one time when I really needed a job, even if it was short term to tie me over until I could get something better. My friend had talked to them about me looking and they said great, have her call we need acute care MTs. I called and was told they have no acute care accounts and have nothing to offer me. They were also a bit rude when I spoke to them.
I have a friend who works for them. She seems

Is your friend IC or employee?
I am thinking that may be part of the difference; company equipment versus providing your own computer...
I had a friend without a contract
She was charged for the IT guy setting her computer in teh amount of 100.00 or something like that. Sounds low, yeah, but the MT never even started working or for some reason there was no work. Well 3 months later, she gets a bill from the lady saying she had to pay this money. The company is a lady name Suanne at p.r.n. Transcription, I believe in Florida, so beware.
I am asking actually for a friend of mine
who has also received responses, tested, and the sound file was horrible. I certainly remember testing myself personally and the sound file was horrible, but she's asking my friend to spend money on different programs, which I think is wrong. I only saw one old post from 2007 where she did not pay after a few weeks of this MT performing services. I personally felt she was sending me too many different e-mails to respond to as she is doing to my friend right now. I just don't want people to be taken advantage of, as her last company name she was going under was called Digital Transcription Services, so why would she change her name, if not to hide from the ones she has not paid. Just be very careful!
Does anyone else have the same issue as my friend?
I have a friend, also an MT, who is a supervisor. There is one MT who, every time you turn around, is playing the kids card to get out of working her share. My kids are sick, I have to take my kids to soccer practice, I'm taking off a day to be with my kids, I'm going Christmas shopping with my kids, etc. The list goes on and on, at least 20 days this past year. She keeps on asking me Should I terminate this MT? I would have done that long ago, but she's too nice for her own good. What do you all think? Have any of you had a co-worker who played the Kids Card all the time?
It depends on what your friend is looking for
These companies are a dime a dozen. If she has a lot of experience, then she'd have her pick. Just check out any of these job board ads and see for yourself. I don't think anyone really recommends any particular company, but Keystrokes, Webmedx, TransTech, and Axotlol seem to be popular. 
I have a friend who worked with me at MQ
and she went to DRC the same time I went to MDI. She told me a few months ago that Acusis (the Indian company) had purchases DRC and that changes were in the works. I have never worked for either DRC or Acusis but I really don't think Linda would have any reason to lie.
I had a friend that was just hired and is being
I'm pretty sure my friend is going to work on the clinic account they advertised for. It clearly states paid for spaces.
Maybe your friend should check with management.
