were about a dozen questions.  Some were multiple choice, some about what part of the body is lingual (this is just an example and not what they used), I had to spell about 3 words/terms. 

I interviewed with Z and she was great, I didn't feel the least bit intimidated.

First off, the recruiter/interviewer was so darned nice, incredibly down to earth, and an absolute pleasure to talk to.  After talking with them, I was really bummed I wouldn't be working for them because this interviewer person was just so real and someone I would love to know outside of work, ya know?  It wasn't just all robot-business speak, which is refreshing like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, I was asked what I was looking for and said I needed to make a guaranteed minimum of 7000 lines per pay week, as I was sole suport for my household, and that I loved where I was now but was only looking to change employers because I needed benefits. 

In an incredibly kind gesture of goodwill towards a fellow workhorse, I was told it would most likely never happen (the volume of work available to consistently earn a high line count), as this field has slow periods, as you must know, and a steady amount of work can never be guaranteed and that, for your situation, you would be best off with your current employer with no benefits and a plentiful work supply.  The mention of 30% VR and increasing day-by-day was also a huge put-off for me because, well, I hate that crap...and don't let anyone fool you, for the money you earn, it is most indeed crap and the joke is on the MT.

This place has a great pay rate, great benefits, but unfortunately the work flow cannot be guaranteed.  Scary prospect indeed when one can't work just for fun money for shoes and crap.  I couldn't believe the honestly and I was so appreciative of that.  

From what I can remember when I searched the archives they seemed to be one of the better companies.  The recruiter, Rhonda, is great, very friendly, very knowledgeable.  I decided, however, to go with a smaller company, one that focuses on clinic notes, where I have a Mon-Fri schedule and could not be happier. 

Hope that this helps a little. 

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 

That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 

The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!

I didn't want to wait a whole year before beginning to accrue PTO so I went elsewhere.

I've gotten a job offer from eTransPlus but I just don't wanna jump into another fire and end up hating it.  How are they to work for?  I truly just wanna be left alone and allowed to type and not get bogged down in politics.

thanx in advance

I haven't noticed the line count, but thanks for bringing that to my attention!

As of this moment I'm employed by EtransPlus. I didn't know there could possibly be anything worse than the program I use which is Mongoose!  

Have you been able to reach your line counts lately? I have been having a terrible time for the last 3 months....it's not getting any better and I'm planning to throw in the towel soon. I can't sit here for 8 hours and come away with less than minimum wage! I also see there has been a major rearranging of staff...do you know what's happening there?

we scheduled a phone conference to discuss the opening they had no less than five times and kept having to reschedule it at the last minute - very irritating.

offered positions with both, declined both.   I have nearly 20 years' experience in acute care, can do any work type, ESLs, etc.  I aced both tests.  Cymed offered me 8 cpl and 8.5 cpl over 18,000/lines pay period.  

Precyse lied to me and I wouldn't work for them if they were the only company out there.  They pay based on if you are CMT or not, how many years experience, what shift, etc.  I was offered about  10 cpl, but the account they wanted to put me on was one I had worked on when I was with YOG and it was an extremely difficult account.   There are lots of posts about how Precyse ignores e-mails and that communication is very poor overall.   They use IM and during the 2 or 3 interviews they stopped several times to answer IMs from team leaders.  

I don't need insurance so didn't ask questions in regards to that. 

I am very happy at eTrans. Before this, I worked at MQ, so I know what it's like to work at a bad company. As far as my work load, I never have a problem getting the minimum lines for the day and beyond if I want. I start early in the morning and rarely have to work more than an hour extra on slow days, usually only the last day of the pay period for some reason, and like I said, that is rare. I don't know about overhiring.  I get plenty of work to make the incentives if I wish. I have always been paid on time every time. And as far as demographics, the system I am working in is really easy with no real slowing down for demos.

I know eTrans was called out a few days ago by former employees, but I have to say I have never had any of the bad experiences that were posted. The tech people have been great, even though I've only had to talk to them once. My supervisor is great and has always been there when needed. I have a great account, a great backup account, and a great platform that means I don't have to kill myself to get the lines I need like MQ. I even referred my own mother to this company, and she is about to start with them next week. Do you think I would do that if I thought they were an awful company?

Hope this helps.

How is the sound quality for eTrans?  I took the test last night and sound was very scratchy, static, muffled.  Is the normal dictation like this or is it just the test?  Also, anyone know what their line rate is?
