I have worked there for a few years now. Not a lousy company but a very good one. sm

Perhaps you did not meet their standards or perhaps they did not meet yours, but there is no reason for you to be on here bashing those of us that love working for KS. If you have specifics, please share. I will:
Good pay, on time every time.
Good account with plenty of work.
Good benefits.
Managers that are human and know that the employees are too.
Owners who care about the company and employees. They are involved but less and less with employees as they grow. Instead, they have hired managers that are great so that they can concentrate on sales and customers.
Growing company with no lost accounts, which is more than most can say.
Opportunity for advancement.
IT helpful and caring, especially since the major change in that area a few months ago.
I love my job and I'm not in Illinois either; I'm in Florida.

Have worked with his company for many years (sm)
The owner is a gem and a very caring person. Pay is always on time, 15th and 30th. 
I have worked for the company seven years now
and love the job! The owner works directly with you until you are on your own typing the work, and you have communication with all transcriptionists whenever you need help with something. I never have to wonder if I will get paid, as the check is always sitting in my mailbox within three days after the pay date. There are only a handful of people that work for this company, so it is one of those dream jobs that you never want to let go of after you have it! I have read all of the negative posts regarding this position, and the people who wrote the comments obviously do not know what they are talking about, yet they still seem to feel free in sharing their negative views. What's up with that? It makes me very angry to see that this company is continuously being bashed each time the help-wanted ad is posted, but I guess that type of thing is to be expected from those that know they are not qualified to do the job. Some people are obviously quick to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to bad-mouthing companies after they have tested poorly or are told the work has been given to someone else. If you are qualified for the job, it is one of the best ones out there, so use your own judgement when it comes to applying for work. Otherwise, you might just miss out on one of those dream jobs!
TransTech is the best company I have ever worked for. I have been here two years
and can't say enough good about them. I know that they are owned by some former L&H people. They are adding new accounts like crazy and are always hiring.
Worked for them a few years ago. Not a bad company. You could do worse. -nm

I have worked for this company for years without problems!!
For those of you that are looking for a good company to work for, this is it. I have not had any problems with Transnet or ExText. For the account I am working on, there are very few ESL dictators and lines are very easy to come by. Regarding Word 2000 or 2002, that is the requirement of the clinic that River City is working on, NOT the requirement of River City. So it would be the clinic you are referring to when you are saying archaic and out of date with their technology. River City has no control over what type of software the clinic uses but only requires that the transcriptionists use what the clinic uses. I would rather work for a company that is good and stable where I can really feel like I am part of a team rather than just some gal out that chalking up lines on some unknown dictation system. Yes, the pay is a little less than the nationals but most dictators on the account I am on use quite a few normals and lines are quick. I would recommend this company over and over to someone that just loves what they do.
And by the way, they are not lousy. They are a good
company. No company is perfect but this one certainly is not the bottom of the barrel.
My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it. I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx.
Good company for me for last 2 years.
Lots of work. Good pay rate. Management/team leads are accessible. Good feedback. Get paid on time.
Is lousy, 4-5.5 cpl. I make 7 cpl at the company I work for now.
FN's platform really slows you down for editing as well.
I've been there for 3 years - yes, good company
xx
I've been there a few years. I think it's a good company.
Although I feel that ALL MT pay is far too low, Acusis pays better than most. Several accounts are teaching hospitals, some regular hospitals, and some clinics. Most of the time they have plenty of work, except right after the Holidays.
I find the management to be VERY nice to work with - a welcome change from my old situation, which was horrible. Excellent techs, too. The SoftScript platform they use works well. Sound quality is good. If you email a supervisor or other person there, I've found they respond in a timely manner.
The pay varies based on the account; more for harder ones, less for easy ones. They ask for feedback from MTs, and are appreciative to get it.
Anyway, judging by what I read on this board about other companies, I think one reason you don't hear much about Acusis is that most people that work for them are happy with them.
You can do a good job and despise the company. I was at MQ for 10 years.
I eventually deservedly despised them, but I did a great job. Otherwise, I would have heard about it. I'm at the Web now, and I agree with those that say they are getting to be just like MQ before MQ imploded and was sold. I don't despise Webmedx, but I don't love them, either. I don't think you can completely trust any of the nationals.
I've never worked for such a good company
I was contacted immediately after I tested. I wanted part-time work at night to try them out, so I worked 20 hours a week for them. After a month, I quit my other full-time job and went with them full-time. I've never seen such a fast platform. The benefits are incredible compared to other companies and the work is excellent. Good communication and accessability with co-workers and supervisors. Extra bonuses for what we had to do normally at other jobs. Direct deposit. company contributions to 401K. Earn vacation money from your first day on the job, and you don't lose it when/if you leave. I'm extremely happy with them.
I am wondering if OSI is a good company. Has anyone ever worked for them?
Any info would be appreciated
I sure agree with you about the lousy communication. It seemed to be a company wide
nm
I'm at Webmedx after 10+ years at MQ. Good company. Plenty of work. SM
Pay is direct deposit and on time. You have a 12-hour window and 35 hours is considered full-time. I cleared QA review in less than a day, and they leave me alone to do my job. Benefits are affordable. I don't need the insurance, but I understand it's pretty good. Don't get much PTO the 1st year, 3 days. If you know you will need to be off ANY time in the first 6 months or so, tell the recruiter. Line rate is fair and you can negotiate. They have a bonus/incentive plan that allows you to earn good money. Seems like no place is great these days, but they are probably as good as it gets. Feel free to E-mail me if I can help you out.
Worked out to a pretty good hourly rate, just not the right company for me. nm
,,
webmedix- I have 25 years exp., was offered low rate of pay. Heard it is a good company. nm

I worked for them a year or so ago. Good company. Owners a little quirky at times, but set sm..
set accounts so can build speed with repetition. Pay on time and treat you very decent.
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)
What type of work do they have? Any op reports? Appreciate any info.
I have worked for MDI for 2 years and I
have never gotten a raise. Production incentives????? Never. If you are looking for all the perks, you'd better look somewhere else.
Worked at OSi for over 2 years and they have never
I worked for them about 3 years ago
The people were real sweet, but I couldn't pay my bills. They have a funny pay scale and it changes after 3 months. Wish you luck.
I have worked there for 2+ years sm
and am happy with the company. They supply your computer for free, they help with education, everyone is helpful. There was a slow time for a few months, but it has picked up now. MT work always has slow times from time to time. They have hospital accounts that one can work on if one runs out of work, which they pay more for MTs that can work acute care accounts as well as CMTs.
I have worked for them for 2 years and like it.
They have multiple platforms to work on. They have some difficult accounts, but no more than any other company I have worked for. There is always work available as you have secondary accounts and they provide a list of accounts that need extra help daily. Benefits are good, pay is NEVER late, direct deposit.
I worked for them about 2 years ago as IC sm
and they were really nice people to work for. Paid on time and very flexible, too.
I worked for them a few years ago.
I got my feet wet working for them, and I gained some valuable experience. However, I found that they constantly sent updated notes/templates on how their docs wanted files formatted. This got to be very time consuming after a while as this seemed to be a weekly occurence. Of course, that was a few year ago, so they might have come up with a better system. I also found their pay to be on the low end, and their raises, which you had to put in for, weren't all that great.
I worked for them 3-4 years ago and they were
very, very nice. At the time, it was strictly IC status. Don't know what they pay now but I got 7 cents a line. They had radiology, acute care, ER, clinic notes and cardiology. Pay was always on time. Platform was nice, all done over the internet, use your own PC. Never had problems and tech support was great. I would have stayed but needed fulltime with benefits.
I worked there two years ago
And at that time they still gave you all the equipment and paid for down time if you documented it correctly.
I had an okay experience at Transolutions. The people were really nice. What they said in the other threads about receiving huge thick binders on each account is true though, and I did run out of work a few times but they paid me for it.
I worked for her years ago
and in my many years before and many years since, I have never had a worse experience. Pay was by the gross line and I got my money, but I have never known anyone to be as nasty and mean as this person was to me. This is just my experience, but IMO, you would be wise to avoid any dealings with this company.
Probably should have said, I worked for them about 4 years ago, so they may pay a little better now.

I think that's sad. I worked there about 2 years ago and liked it. nm

I have worked there for over 3 years and I'm...
 Great people to work for. Pay is very dependable. Work is very consistent. Most of the time there is more work than you can handle. My paycheck is very consistently in the same price range unless I take days off. Great QA people. They work with your schedule. I honestly do not have any complaints about them. I really like working for them.
I have worked as IC for 10 years
and never got - even with had my own hospital accounts - thing is - so many people have access to the report - who can prove what? I also hear terribly expensive unless you get through AAMT
It has been about 5 years since I worked there so
things may be different, but account was 85 to 90% Indian dictators and I had to re-record. Poor dictators and poor quality dictation is a horrible combination. I can't remember what the pay rate was, but it wasn't near enough. They would also call me up to 6 times a day, sometimes just to chat, other times they were just so disorganized it took that many calls to get all the info. I don't remember the name of the platform, but it was not user friendly at all. I worked there less than a month I think.
I worked for them years ago and it took several..sm
phone calls to get my first paycheck. Needless to say, I immediately quit. I don't know if they are different now or not but I would be cautious.
I worked for them but it was probably 5 years ago.
At that time I had to re-record work. The account was about 95% ESL dictators from India (this is what I was told by the company). So rerecording and Indian dictators make for not very good dictation. Their platform was extremely time-consuming and not at all user friendly. I can't remember the pay, but it wasn't enough. The office would also call me up to 6 times a day because they were so disorganized they couldn't think to ask me everything in one call. They sometimes called just to chat. I had only worked a short time and had no relationship with these people, yet they called to chat. The woman I dealt with sounded very blonde.
Things may have changed since then. They advertise for new positions a few times a year and I don't know if that means they retain most of their MTs or possibly have lost accounts, or their hiring for new accounts.
I worked for them 4 years ago
and not sure if I was just very inexperienced at that time or what but I felt the work was tough - never had the same doc twice and heavy ESLs... don't remember the system being cumbersum (sp) or the C-phone stuff - and I always had skads of telephone lines so not sure about that either
I have worked for them for 5 years....
I never experienced a problem with being paid on time. Direct deposit, is always there on the day expected, sometimes the day before. Benefits are nice, plenty of work. I enjoy the atmosphere. Management accessible to the top. A very comfortable place to work...not the usual *corporate* atmosphere. I had plenty enough of that before coming to Breitner. Like I said, very comfortable place to work. I don't dread turning on the computer in the morning, and that means a LOT nowadays.
I also worked there for several years. sm
It was an excellent place to work, but you do have to learn the account. QA is very good, they will not accept sloppiness. I felt it was one of the best companies I have worked for; I learned enough to do editing for another company, which is why I left. It was a very good experience.
When I worked there about 3 years ago, they were in .

I worked for them for a few years...sm
You are welcome to e-mail if you have any questions.
I worked for them several years ago as IC sm
don't think they offer employee status, they paid on time, checks never bounced and always had work and were very nice people to work for. Tech support was very good, they had internet-based platform. Back then they paid 7 cents per line and had both fulltime and parttime status, don't know about their pay now. I would go back if I could.
Worked there for over 2 years...
They've had a lot of turnover recently, both of in-house employees and at-home transcriptionists. Basically the only reason I stayed as long as I did was because the scheduling department was flexible, and their PTO was decent. However, with the new payscale, I was making considerably less money and felt that was very unfair. As far as their DOS system, the system is very simple and generally speaking trouble free. However, loading demographics and downloading work was very time consuming (and unpaid). QA policy stunk too. They were very inconsistent in checking your work, and I feel that as long as someone is working hard and doing a good job, they should NOT be docked for errors. They call it a QA bonus...I call it a way to lead people on and pay them less than what they're worth! I left Transolutions a couple of months ago and have never looked back. I love where I'm at now and feel that I'm being treated fairly again. I'm sure it's a good fit for some people, and everyone has to find their place. For me, it was becoming more hassle than it was worth and was time to move on.
I have worked for DSG for 4 years...
and the only time I have had a problem with low work volume is during the holidays when people/docs are on vacation. From reading this board, this is a problem with a lot of companies, not just DSG. DSG has been my income for 4 years with no backup job and I have been fine.
I worked for MQ for 12 years and always had a
second job as an IC. They did not interfere with each other and no one ever asked. Of course, I did not use MQ computer, but my own. As far as I am concerned it is no one's business but your own.
How many years have you worked for them?
x
Worked there for 2 years...
but left about 6 months ago. They were nice to work for, but I left because they were going through a LOT of changes. A fair number of management people left after the president left last summer in the middle of a major software change-over. At that time they were also restructuring their pay scale, and with the change I was going to take about a 20% decrease so said adios. However, there are a few people on this board that speak very fondly of Transolutions, and I really had no complaints until I found out they had no problem giving me a cut in pay after 2 years.
As far as scheduling, you do have to set a schedule and pretty much stick with it, but they are very easy to work with if you need to switch things around here and there. 32 hours is considered full-time with benefits. Benefits were decent.
Platform was DOS and APEX. I never really worked on APEX but didn't hear a lot of good things about it...but hopefully they've refined it over the last few months. I didn't mind DOS; it was very simple and straightforward, but not a lot of bells and whistles.
Good luck. Hopefully others with more recent experience will be able to give you more info.
