Was really appalled with what they asked. Did you see that disclaimer yet? Veto.
Evidently, we at Webmedx are to believe things are going well. So well, in fact, we will have a special meeting. Ha. Can't wait.
Agree with the above poster that those are never good. Some are distracted by the whole rah-rah atmosphere. But most of us know we are screwed.
I would think Web folks are less srewed than SS, though.

I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

Nevermind on Softscript.... too many bad things
more people have had problems than not... I would just skip that one and go for JLG... except for no DD (with JLG) which is a concern, but at least the job would be tolerable there...
I heard that Softscript does also

Anyone with or heard of SoftScript?
Any comments appreciated
I was hired & then never heard
They hired me and I even sent them the paper work and they never called me or emailed me to set up training or anything. I tried contacting me by they never replied. I was told that Lee was a good company so I don't know what happened. Good luck
The only things I heard about them
 and the test is long and tedious and then you have to work I believe an entire month before your first paycheck.
Any info on MxSecure...never heard of them before, but got hired.

Because of all the great things I have heard here - sm
I just finished filling out my paperwork for Futurenet. I have been looking for 3 months, contemplated many offers and turned down many offers. I think this is just what I am looking for.
The autocorrect that you use - is this the feature that is in the word program? I was told that there is a word Expander in their program. Do they mean Autotext? If so, is it easy to use? Thanks!
I have heard good things - sm
I even spoke to the owner on the phone - SUPER nice. I couldn't take the position right now due to personal reasons but would definitely go with them in the future if need be. A current employee likes it there that I spoke to.
I heard great things too
which is why I am so hesitant to even consider looking elsewhere. Hope we hear something tomorrow. Feel free to email if you find out anything.
I had heard so many great things about KS too, though
it was mainly only a couple of MTs that posted. I want to do more than be an MT and I thought KS would be a good company that I could advance with.
It just did not turn out to be a good experience for me. They talked a good talk, but they never followed through with the raises or anything else. I never ever got paid for OT, yet was asked to work extra during my work days and asked to work on my scheduled days off. I worked because I needed the money, but 8 cpl just wasn't worth it. I also had a lead that wasn't very good and you might as well have talked to the wall.
I think there are worse companies out there and if you are coming from MQ they might seem pretty good. If you go back and reread your post it sounds like it is a no brainer.
I heard good things about them, but I have to
I really do not like that Oak site, I have tested through that before and lots of hoops to jump through... I don't know if I have the time to take it, the company would have to be really really worth it for me to take the time to test with that software. Just my 2c.
I have heard only good things about MDI-FL and have talked to the sm
owners myself. They seem to be very nice people who care about their transcriptionists. They are MTs themselves, something that helps in this business.
I know they have grown this past year. They probably found the two or three MTs that move from company to company, always finding fault and always bashing the one they quit or were terminated from. It is just MDI-FL's turn to be bashed. I am sure that most people reading this board take it all with a grain of salt.
If you love the company you work for - stay with them. Obviously you found a great fit. I am fortunate enough to have MTs like love working for us (not saying who I am as I promised my staff I would stay away from here) and fortunate enough to have applicants that don't take the bashing on these boards as gospel.
I've heard good things about both...sm
but which one pays better? I'm curious to know too as I thought about applying for eMTS. Let us know. TIA
I've heard good things about MDI.
Sorry, I'm not part time so that's all I can offer. Felt I should write something as poster below didn't seem to realize this company board is for asking and discussing companies.
Heard good things about Landmark, so went sm
to their website. It states you must work both Saturday and Sunday. I might have read it wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it said.
I would love a M-F job and wouldn't mind working one weekend day, but not both.

What kind of changes? I am looking to apply there and have heard good things. I don't want
to go in blind, but all the postings are so vague. Can you give me an example so I can decide for myself?
Do you mean Axolotl? If so, I've heard many good things about them. nm

I have heard good things about New England in the past
don't know if that has changed. I would also throw in a vote for TransTech. After cycling through several other companies, I have finally found a home with Transtech and I am very happy there.
What a shame, I had always heard good things about QT Medical. (sm)
I hope they had been kind enough to forewarn their employees or at least provide severance pay. Good luck to all their people. Many people hiring hope you all find a good home quickly.
I have heard really bad things from QA about our overflow that goes to Amherst. Not good quality and
clients complaining because the MTs that are getting the work are making mistakes and not reading the client profile. Good way to lose accounts.
I have no idea...ask MTME. I've heard bad things about MDI-MD and am not interested! n/m
.
I have heard nothing but good things about Webmedx, but no personal experience NM

I've heard mixed things about MediTech platform...can anyone weight in on (sm)
its pros and cons? I'm going to be learning it in my new job soon. I couldn't find much in the archives that is very recent. Thanks.
you are right, a terrible, terrible thing it is.sm
but I won't complain too much after having made over 50,000 last year.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
DSG IS TERRIBLE!!!
That is terrible.
No one should get 2 cpl.
Wow! That is terrible
That's a LOT of money. Too bad. Maybe you can sell the company and at least get some money.
That's terrible
That's terrible. I agree that's what it is but did they come out and admit they were sending the jobs to India?
Did they say people were layed off on the spot or did they give people a few weeks/days until their last day?
Was a severence package offered? Something.
How could they do this just before the holidays.
Terrible!
Glad I didn't get hired! I did a testcall and they never got back to me. I did have to pay the bill for the hour conference call that ended up being a Canada number...that should have tipped me off.
That is terrible! Do you want to be
treated that way or worse on a job? Sounds like a stressful situation you might be getting into. It is admirable you would give 2w/notice, and any company not expecting you to do that is suspect to begin with.. there are other jobs out there, you just might want to keep looking...not telling you what to do but rather than let them ruin my day, and later my life, I personally look for a place who treat people with respect during and after the hiring process. Good Luck to you!
Terrible sm
The platform was terrible. Too many specifics on the demographics.
They lost an account and waited until the last minute to tell us. When we kept running out of work, they kept giving excuses like, it's election day, it's martin luther king day, etc.
There are plenty good, honest companies. I would suggest looking elsewhere.
That is terrible.
I hope that doesn't scare you out of trying again; if not with this company another. You probably should call that recruiter and tell someone what happened. They need to know how what that manager is doing to her employees. I doubt that company will get very far with someone like, but I don't know. I would just let someone know what happened. I am sure she has done it to someone else, and will probably do it again.
terrible
I understand companies wanting to keep work in TAT, but why not be honest and just hire thousands of part-timers, because hiring MTs full-time and not having full-time work is dishonest to say the least. A lot of companies are over-hiring and doing just this kind of thing, not just Transcend.
The pay is terrible!
I was offered a position with them a few days ago, and they sent me their pay schedule.
No matter how much experience you have, you apparently start at 0.06/line. I did't even start for that right out of school, but okay. It seems you would have to work there over two years to even get near 8 cents/line.
I need work, but I have 11 years experience, and I can't afford to work for those kind of rates. :(
VR/SR is terrible! sm msg
I do not see VR/SR taking over, even in the next decade. The result from this software is redundant text that needs extensive editing, and I mean extensive! Maybe some day but it will still need editors to fix! Right now, from what I have seen, it is a mess!
Terrible. sm
I never...ever...do less than 16,000 lines a pay period, or an average of 200 lines an hour. Today, I averaged 111 lines an hour. I ended up taking PTO and am also taking it tomorrow, so maybe others' lines will go up tomorrow, at least.
I am on both DVI and Chartnet. I signed in this morning and neither had a single report for almost 90 minutes. After that, it was back and forth constantly with only 1 or 2 here and there. My primary just moved to Chartnet (which is a great program) but at the same time, it has dried up. I have no idea why but I'm not very happy right now, to say the least.
This is terrible
.... because they have US QA's edit them. Pathetic!
That is on the terrible VA accounts that cannot be
AND acute care, because they are unable to bring on acute care MTs.
I feel so terrible about this, but
I tested for several companies and had several offers. I accepted a position with a company and I am supposed to start soon. During the process of filling out paperwork and preparing to start with this company, I got a MUCH better offer with another company that I simply cannot and do not want to turn down. Has anyone been in this position? Why do I feel so terribly guilty? The first company is not a national and not very big, so I really feel like I am letting them down.
K
Terrible offer. Don't take it.
nm
I understand now. That's terrible. I definitely do not want to
xxxxx
terrible towel
The terrible towel has now been waved at the Space Needle.
Terrible Company
Do not work for this company. It's horrible. I just resigned.
Terrible Company
I worked for Focus as QA for almost a year. First of all...they started me out hourly and then decided to pay all the US editors by the line. It took me FOREVER to get my first pay check. Work flow was very inconsistent - some days there was absolutely no work. I would stay far, far away from this company!
I had a terrible experience with them as well.
They were very unprofessional, IM'd me to death. They did not give me the work that was promised and said I needed to get an account caught-up for them before I would gain the work promised. Seek employment elsewhere. By the way, they sent me the most trifling C-phone that was all broken and had dog hair infested keys. I was afraid to use it for fear of getting a disease. JMO.
Terrible attitude
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why our profession is going down the skids. Bring suit? Pulleeeze.
This is the one that had the terrible test and
OMG - Some people have big you know whats! That's terrible. I tested (horrible dictator), and e-mailed this company twice and never got a response. Horrible company. Better keep your day job!
