In Reply to: DSGrs...Are you guys noticing the increasing ESLs??? - Yuck, yuck, yuck!
I have quite a few ESL dictators but assumed this was the norm.

Flexible schedule but you need to decide what your hours are and commit to them. Benefits granted at 32 hours. Plenty of work. Really good, patient and supportive people. Training with guaranteed pay. Smooth, easy and fast startup. Good, high-tech platform.
Well, I started recently
and I'm only getting 8.5 c. I'm FT, acute care and do the weekend. And I have 18 years experience with acute care. That totally sucks. I'm so depressed now. I wish I would have never read this whole thread.

Lots of work. Very nice people to work for! Platform is easy to work on.
Just started recently as an IC (sm)
I recently took an IC position and needless to say am very, very impressed with the way they operate. The training was excellent, communication with them has been excellent. If an IC, you send your availability and it can change from week to week. Pay is comparable to other companies out there. They seem to be a very straightforward and honest company.
I recently started a new job and was getting (sm)
almost exclusively consults. I do enjoy them, OPs are my first love though. I just asked them if OPs could be included in my pooling and they did. I also get other work types. Only fair that we all share. I wouldn't appreciate you walking into this company and taking all the OPs off the top.
I know there are some people who don't like OPs or have had so little experience they aren't very quick at them. If that is the case and they want to skip them (with the companies permission) GREAT. More for the rest of us.
Bottom line is, you type what they need and when they need it or they may not need you anymore. Unless you had an agreement before hiring, this is only fair.
I just started with them recently
and can say, this pay information is less than what I was offered.
So far, I've been extremely pleased with them. They've bent over backwards with compensation and encouragement. MUCH nicer than any other company I've worked with and after 20+ years, I think I have a good point of reference. Try them, you might just be pleasantly surprised.
Just recently started. What was the pay plan before?
nm
I started with them recently, no complaints SM
other than the week of training was only on the computer. I started production IMMEDIATELLY. I would have liked at least 3 days of guaranteed pay. It may be different for you being new though. Go for it.
For those who recently started at Cardioscribes...
How is it going so far? I see they have another ad up and was wondering what you all thought about your experience with them.
Anyone who recently started w/ Teletrak?
Wondering if that VNC program is still being installed. I read something about it that was kind of upsetting and I do not want to apply without knowing one way or the other. TIA
I started at Chronicle recently and
my experience so far has been very pleasant. There is an abundance of work and I have a QA person who has been so patient with me so far. This is also the person who trained me. I found the training to be very informative. About 2 hours into my first shift I was so confused and I IM'd QA. I was able to speak with her by telephone and she walked me through the problem I was having and she told me to contact her again if there was still a problem or any problem at all. I've never had this kind of QA availability in any other company I've worked for. I've receive feedback that was both informative and non-demeaning. From these posts there must be different accounts and different platforms. I guess I am lucky to be on the good account?
Anyone who recently started working for DSG that can say how they like
it there and how is the workload and accounts, sound, etc.
I recently started on VR with TransTech,
maybe 3 weeks ago. I feel like I am drowning. I have been an MT for over 20 years. I am pretty fast, and from what I have heard, it works out better for the slower typist. I would love to find another company, but I don't think it will make a difference. VR is here to stay, and being in my 50's, I figure I better adjust to it. That being said, does anybody here have any tips (seriously) to increase my speed. Arguing about VR isn't going to get any of us anywhere. I definitely do not agree with the 50% in pay for VR, that is ripping off MTs as far as I am concerned. Seriously though, does anybody have any tips that would help me increase my speed?
Has anyone started with Webmedx recently?
I interviewed and was told they wanted to hire me but there were no openings. Supposedly I will be called when one opens up. This was a few weeks ago. I am so frustrated with my current employer and desperately want out! So, has anyone recently interviewed and then started fairly quickly? Trying to decide whether there really is a waiting list and to be a bit more patient, or to start applying elsewhere. Thanks!
I just recently started a verbatim account...
and I have to stop myself from making corrections and have to really concentrate on typing exactly what they are saying. It's HARD! But hey, they are indirectly signing my paycheck, so I gotta do what they tell me to, ya know?
I think we all have had nightmare experiences. I recently started a job that was "starving" fo
more work than you can imagine and then 2 days into it, NOTHING.. plus the software was a pain in the beeeehind!!! This great opportunity turned out to be a waste of time. Hopefully things get better for you. I quit..making $4 an hour was not my idea of surviving.
A friend of mine very recently started working for them
I'll try to get ahold of her and see how it's going so far. She just started about a week or so ago.
If I hear anything, I'll let you know :-)
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

Has been down a lot recently, but..
only for very short periods at a time, not sure if they're doing upgrades or what. Could also be weather-related with the terrible tornadoes this week in parts of the country. You just have to be patient and adjust your schedule slightly when it happens. I love the BeyondTxt platform, it's the easiest I've worked on. IMO, MDI-FL is a very good company, and I can't say that about many out there these days, so was worth it for me.
recently went to an HSA
and went IC.
Actually some of us are ICs. Recently ...
MDI was only hiring ICs with SE status after so many days or months. So there are some ICs that were with MDI.
In my meeting CB said that Transcend had IC, SE and employee and the usual case by case. I think she wrongfully mislead the person who asked this question because that was the first I had heard of their being SE status at Transcend.
I have not had issues until recently and
with you I would; however, I don't! FYI, I am dealing with my issues and if they are not resolved to my satisfaction, I will leave. Thanks for your concern and have a great day! DVW
There was recently a big campaign on
to try to get MLS who were smart enough to quit Transcend before, to come back to Transcend because of all the recent *improvements* the company claimed they made. I wonder how many of those did come back and how many are happy that they came back did versus how many have quit again or are ready to quit again.
Hired recently for 0.825 cpl.
:)
Duh..I until recently was an Ochsner MT and still
geez... get your facts straight
I see, yea, happened again recently with someone in QA and
today with a wonderful coordinator, seems very unstable. I just don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Have been postson it recently. I know you have to
train in house for a week or two - I believe two? Which was totally not part of my game plan anymore! Yuck!
As recently as 2 months ago, they are SM
still selling you that foot pedal (that you pay full purchase price for and then in the contract it says you must return WHAT YOU PAID FOR when you leave them) and they have the same pay scale they did 3-4 years ago. They still tend to prey mostly on new-ish transcriptionists who don't know any better. Other than the person recruiting, nothing has changed about Medscribe in Jacksonville, FL.
Yes it has happened recently, and sm
people have been posting about them paying late & shorting checks for 2 years now. How they are still getting away with this?
We hav recently answered these
Look on page 2,3,4,5 etc...
Try Breitner out of N.Y.- ran ad recently
xx
Took that test recently
and it did not require a foot pedal. The test I took was pretty much multiple choice and spelling corrections. But yours might be set up differently.
There was talk about them recently, but again (sm)
They are notoriously bad about paying and have been for years. They misrepresent whether they pay for spaces or not, and they pay when they feel like it. I waited months for payment back when I worked for them a few years ago.
I just recently left
They changed accounts on me all the time - they overhire and then we ended up with no work.
What do you mean "until very recently"?
They haven't done ANYTHING to prevent it!!!!!! In fact, they encourage it!!!!!!!!!
I do too, and they helped me recently
when I had a low-virtual memory problem and I wasn't savvy enough to know what to do. Busy as they are, they didn't make me feel stupid for needing help with it.
Who is the too? I've seen ads recently for JLG. They
do disappear for a while and then pop up again. For a while they had recruiters, maybe they hired from the posted resumes, maybe the hired locally.
I worked there very recently
I worked for Precyse for 6 months. In the beginning, workflow was great. I don't know what happened between then and now, but I was lucky to get 50 hours for a 2-week pay period. When work is low, you usually can't work on your secondary because their work is low also and they don't want to take away from the primary MTs. That leaves no room open to make up time. Every pay period, I had to use whatever was in my PTO account for the missing money.
I actually had 4 different accounts I was doing at one time to keep busy, so I should have been considered on the SWAT team as far as that goes...lol.
It is a very nice company with wonderful people, but my main issue is feeding my kids and helping my husband with the bills, so I took my 10 years' experience elsewhere and am very, very happy.
Recently purchased . . .
They were also recently purchased by Nuance/Dictaphone. Strangely enough, while some of the accounts are with eScription, Nuance is the company that created Dragon Naturally Speaking so I wonder if there will be some sort of marriage along those lines in the future as well.
How long ago was that, recently?NM
nm
I just recently interviewed with them.
This was for acute care: Base pay was 8 cpl, 65 character line with spaces, goes up to 8.75 for 1600+ lines a day. There's a $1000 sign on bonus, paid at $100 per paycheck. You have to be there a year before you get any vacation time, which is 2 weeks. No holiday pay.
If you just did this fairly recently..
Please be patient. Management is currently moving into a new office and it could be disrupting the phones/e-mails. I would give it a few more days. I work for them typing radiology and absolutely love it!
Sorry I don't know about recently. Just what I've
s
I just recently accepted...
A position with them. Did you interview with them, and ask these questions? It is supposed to be a good company to work for. Their QA is supposed to be good; I heard their strict, but you will learn things quick. There line count is a daily 1200. As far as the hours worked, they expect you to work your full shift; this is very important to them; they strive on dependability and quality. You can E-mail if you wish.
Worked there recently, not know.
People are very nice, though disorganized. Frequently having to resend work. Pay average to maybe a little better than average. Chartscript platform. Download work via DVI and then can work off-line so for now dial-up okay. QA very tough, not rude, just sticklers. I felt like I would never get it right and it wasn't so much I was wrong, just wasn't the way they wanted it so some adjustment there.
I have only recently heard of them
A couple of friends started working there and it sounds like a good place. They are on escription platform on an account in Oregon at the moment. They are allowed to cherry pick the reports they want to do. Pay is reasonable for escription.
If my current job does not pan out, I am leaning heavily to checking out employement at Proveros.
Recently hired (sm)
They were slow with me too, but I just kept calling every day and letting them know I had to work - Becky is the best person - She will always answer your emails and get things done. she did for me! They are great but you have to be proactive and it works! Good Luck! I'm completely content.....Hope this helps!!
Nuance just recently
purchased Focus Infomatics. They also purchased Dictaphone a while back.
Don't know anything, but recently sent them a resume
I have not heard back yet. Do you know anything?
