Webmedx isn't slow - lots of OT posted and they are pushing sm
to hire a lot of MTs due to new accounts coming on in the next few months.
Well, you clearly need to readjust your settings, beause there's lots of good posted.

Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.

Anyone have any details?
Looking into Probity - anyone have the scoop on them? Their website doesn't say how long they've been in business, or much about their size, platform, benefits, requirements, etc. Does anyone actually work there or are they brand new?
E-me if you want details, MT *or* QA. nm

I don't know the details...
I just was told the contract expired and wasn't renewed...for what reasons I will never know. Total bummer man.
details on
*new* insurance plan been released yet? It has been months in the making . . .
Details
Of course, individuals will have different experiences. Some find the accounts a breeze and love it there. I found the accounts to be tough, the QA to be extreme and at times inconsistent. I know that it has been said here that the manager is better now, but this was the primary reason for my departure. I could have dealt with the stringent QA and the tough accounts, but nastiness and disrespect I could not handle.
I would suggest that you try them for yourself. The benefits are great and I loved the fact that I could see how much money I earned for each report I typed almost immediately after completing the report.
Even if the manager was not an issue, I do not think that I could have earned a decent living on the account that I was on. Give them a try, maybe you will get a better account and have a better experience.
See msg for details...
I believe full time is considered $900 per pay period (I think there are 2 pp per month). If they pay 8 cpl that is 1125 lines per day for 10 days. That is about standard (many places 1200 lines/day is full time).
They do have set schedules (I think).
You want details? sm
The owner holds your paychecks and you get paid late and then blames it on the postal service. They over hire and you never can make any decent money because there is too much down time. They don't do anything about cherry picking, yet they will b##h about it (I don't cherry pick because if I did, I would be in hog heaven and would not be writing this post). The owner is rude and you can never get feedback from QA even if you beg for it. Their tech support stinks to high heaven! You will never get anyone to answer any questions after they close at 5 p.m. They don't staff around the clock like most companies do.
The platform they use is EMDAT and not a very MT friendly one at that, so your line counts suffer. The sound quality of their dictations is substandard.
Just some concerned advice to anyone who might be thinking of going to work with them just to save a fellow MT tons of grief. I'm glad I found another company. I was with them for some years and put up and sucked it up and kept saying you have to take the good with the bad. My tolerance level is very high, but this has gotten ridiculous!
Any details?
I applied for the Ortho position too. Any details as to why this company is good or bad from former employees would be appreciated.
Why do you regret it? Any details?

Details of my plan
I chose the United PPO plan. If I remember right it has a $250 deductible, a $35 copay, and a 3-tiered drug copay ($10 -$30 depending on the drug). No referral is required for specialists. I'm not sure on the details of the other plans offered, but this is what I have.
Yeah, I'd like more details on this myself. sm
The MTSO sued YOU because THEY stole your time, effort, and talent?? And they WON? Hmmmmmm......I wouldn't be surprised if Robin herself didn't place this post.
Please, no generalities. More details.

I'm too new to know the exact details, but I too
remember all the negative posts and thinking not such nice things about the owner and thinking that is one company I'll never work for. The owner posted several times back then, admitted they had issues and were working on them. I don't know what the specific issues were so I can't say, though they do ask for feedback yearly from each MT and if you have an issue at any time they seem to be very receptive to trying to help resolve it.
What I fear now with the influx of resumes and subsequent hires is that there will again be lots of negative talk. KS is not perfect. I came from a company that seemed to be as perfect as you can get until they started offshoring and then got greedy and offshored more. It came back to bite them in the butt and they lost several accounts and finally went under. I had been with the company for several years so any move was going to take some adjustment.
I think there will probably be lots of MTs who come on board who will also have adjustment issues, whether it be a different platform, more ESLs than they are used to, etc., but I think overall it will be a possible experience based on all the posts I have seen recently about MQ and OSI.
I personally have some issues with KS, nothing major, but then I'm still in adjustment mode, but other than the company above and a small local MTSO I worked for, KS is next in line for the best company I've worked for.
They have a great reputation for radiology accounts and accounts actively seek them out, so someone must be doing something right along the way.
I'm sure there are plenty of details
and things going on that you were not privvy too, but sorry you had a bad experience. If I could ask one favor, it would be that you not bash the company while we are trying to fill positions - especially since your time there was quite a while back and not all the same players are involved.
platform details
Axolotl uses a proprietary transcription application built on top of Lotus Notes and MS Word. It's the same software for all accounts. Most MTs find it productive and easy to use.
Give details, please...nm

The details have been given already. Read the posts
You want more precise specifics, leave an email address. I'm not putting my head on the block with specifics on a public board.

Can someone give me details on TransHealth's new
nm
i work there currently - see message for details.....
pay has been on time. they pay twice a month. pay period runs from 1-15 and 15-30th. never a set day or set amt of days between pay periods so know idea how they figure it but we get a calendar with pay dates. direct deposit is offered. the company itself seems like a great company, very nice people that i have had contact with, communication good, benefits good; cons - still no set acct, i am in a pool and every report i get is in a different state so i can't learn the acct, the other con is we get paid for 65-character line with spaces, specifics says two spaces after period, yet the system changes all the two spaces to one space and just realized recently myself i only get paid for every one space i type and not both, thus, i am getting cheated out of lines and currently searching for a new job. email me if you wish.
Never heard of them. Could you email me the details. Thanks. NM

I was just offered that PA Hospital job....details....sm
Large teaching hospital, 80% ESL, need experience doing op reports including transplant surgeries, da Vinci Surgical System, etc., lost of neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery experience.
Actually, sounded great for me, love neuro, ortho and in-depth transplants and state-of the art surgical equipment; however, I turned it down due to low line rate, no shift differential, and I make more on the account I have now.
QA is run by DR.
Hours are Sun-Thurs 2nd shift
or Sun-Thurs split shift.
8-9 cpl, depends on how you negotiate that.
I think your supervisor is the hospital supervisor regarding shifts, etc.
I think she said the platform was Chartscript.
Good luck! Not enough pay for me.
Call Vicky for details.
Webmedx does...Email me for details. nm

I would never give details of my own accounts
If this man is asking for details meaning names of your current clients, then he's looking most likely for new clients for himself.
No job is worth losing your own clients. Just be careful out there.
I worked for a hospital and wouldn't care if they called them, but in my opinion just like we have to do our research with the dictators thrown at us, so do the recruiters. JMO. 
Also, their paycheck stubs have no details on them
I never know if I am being paid correctly or not. Why does such a large company have paystubs with no details...no breakdown of deductions either???
Why post a message like this with no details?
Don't remember all the details. Something like you cannot deviate at all...sm
From your hours for 6 months and some other junk before you could be actually considered an employee. Guess they think of it as a long probationary period. We all know things come up, especially if you have kids, elderly parents, etc. It just looked like they left themselves a lot of wiggle room to drop you without notice even if you had been working there 5 months and 29 days. There's quite a list of things you have to agree to, and I don't remember them all. They aren't really unreasonable, just inflexible, and a big CYA thing for them. At least that's what I thought. Gave me a bad feeling. Good luck.
Unless you giving specific details, not
general comments, they cannot know who individuals are.
Whoa, 18 days of PTO? Really? I'd sure like to hear the details on that. nm
