I really hope you'd get an advanced warned before you noticed it on your check.

I think for one occurence you should receive a notice, emailed, so you receive it sooner stating that you were in jeopardy of losing your insurance if quotas are not met in a payperiod. To just cut someone's insurance with no notice and no opportunity to tell their side, to me, that would be harsh and cold. I mean if that is the case, then I would be upset. I have been there working for them 7 days a week and are in there helping whenever they ask for extra help. I usually take no days off. I understand big business but I also understand that what keeps you at a company is a return of the loyalty that you have shown them for years. I'm hoping for the best...

I have warned and warned and warned
Where in the world have you been girlfriend. I have posted here on many occasion that there is often NO work at that place.
I have warned that if you rely on YOUR paycheck to pay bills, you had better look elsewhere.
There are many others who have posted the very same message. Since Geogie boy likes for folks to come straight to the source (his words) to get the truth, maybe you should give him a call.
Sten Tel is a joke. I am always leary of mid to large size MTSOs who do not offer statutory or employee status positions...ONLY IC. I should have listened to my little voice before I took a job there. They could give a rats (you know what) if you have work or not. If there isn't any work, there isn't any pay. Move on sweetie. You will be waiting until the cows come home.
be warned
They ding you for everything. From what I gather, the few editors they have are very inexperienced and they have an automatic grader that takes lines from you. The account specifics are very vague and often times do not match the examples given. For example, the example may show to do a report one way and if you do it that way, the Editor may mark it wrong and you lose lines. My first week, I lost 60.00 for the most minor of things and things I could verify in the BOS. Nobody will respond when you try to get verification. My check was short, nobody would respond to that either. I left after just 3 weeks. I would stay away from this bunch.
I personally would rather be warned of
a company's questionable business practices and stay away from them altogether than find out after I had been hired by them and got screwed out of my pay.
Dont you wish someone would have warned you?...
I have gotten a lot of grief for trying to warn people about what was happening to me and others and that it would soon be happening to a large majority of you. I think it is a duty that we should all have. Why would you let someone else go through something horrible if you could possibly stop it. I loved the "old" Transcend and its management--not too happy with the "new" Transcend or its management. However, that is my opinion. I see there are many others with the same opinion, and these number will continue to grow if Transcend does not wake up. I was a "Current Transcender" until now. I just can't do it anymore. I tried to fight the good fight and hold on to them (at least until I found something else better), but my children need to eat, and I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I can no longer be a Transcend cheerleader. I was a cheerleader in the past and referred other MTs to the company (all of whom left before I did), but it is just a really "bad" place to work as far as wages go. I have to do what is best for me now. I can't go bankrupt for Transcend. Thank God I had the wisdom to find another job to supplement early on in this "transition" process. If not, I would be homeless now. I certainly do not wake up every day with my only purpose being to bash Transcend. I had to be honest with myself and others or I couldn't sleep at night. I wish all of you the best and hope you and Transcend figure it all out before it is too late for you.

Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
All new MT's should be warned that the money paid for
Focus Infomatics- I was warned, have no one to blame but myself.
They are the most disorganized company I have ever tried working for. After signing you on, it takes 3 weeks to months before actually working. I was eventually emailed by team lead welcoming me to the company giving me the name of the account I was on, and that I would be pleased to know that it was a very GOOD account. They set up training, which was 25 minutes. Thank goodness it was a program I was familiar with. I was emailed the account specs, and sure enough it seemed to be a relatively good account. Then I had to wait 3 days before getting username and ID to get into system. After getting ID, ID did not work. After a week, I IM'd team lead asking if she knew when I would be up and running.. She says Oh you're not working yet, I'll call my supervisor. I get an email this morning from someone from Timbuktu asking to get into my computer to download another account. This particular account, I had heard about on the forum was a terrible account. After approximately 1 month of not being set up to work, I call it quits. They won't hear from me again until they call asking for their footpedal.
Take note of "hiring spree" - be warned you will soon run sm
out of work and be working 10 hours a day every day of the week to get work. Yes, I have multiple accounts and will run out of work in a few months. They always assume they will be getting these big accounts and when they don't we are the ones who struggle.
Don't say no one warned you. They are doing away with part-time MTs. Heard it directly from th

Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

Advanced
I worked for them for about a month. Very nice people, easy setup, they use Word. The pay periods are unusual in that you have to wait about a month to get your first check. They are twice a month but run a month behind. So do inquire about that. Low ESL from what I saw. They did not consider me to have enough experience.
Advanced
Run, run, run as fast as you can!! If it's the one where the owner is in New Jersey. I worked for her for three weeks and it turned out to be a nightmare!
Advanced
Pay was a bit low but regular. Platform had a lot of kinks but that improved. Management could be very disorganized, nasty and rude. I found better pay and nicer people elsewhere but maybe they have changed.
Advanced
I've worked there for 9 months and am very happy. The program is easy to learn, everyone is very professional, pay is on time or early. As long as the turnaround time is met, I've found them to be very flexible. They have a lot of work.
Advanced
The one in Oregon is very good to work for and flexible for IC status. Pay is good, by direct deposit, and on time. They use Iscriptor which works with MS Word.
I have no knowledge about the one in a different state. They are separate companies as far as I know.
Advanced in OR
I worked for them very briefly as a secondary. They are nice people to work for and easy to get along with. They seemed fair. They just needed me to provide a schedule of sorts to them as to when I could help out, and I just couldn't give that to them at that point in time.
One of the platforms I used was Iscriptor which was cumbersome but doable. I think they also use an IM to communicate and e-mail as well. They paid on time direct deposit.
Nice people! They also try to set you up with your specialty, which is a very nice touch.
With Iscriptor, you basically take so many jobs at a time, send them back, and then take more. It was pool work for me, but things may have changed.
I would highly recommend Advanced. 
Does background check include credit check?
Advanced Transcription
I thought their platform was really slow and I could never make any money switching back and forth through the system. Frustrating!! I would work several hours sometimes and make less than 10 or 12 bucks because of all the switching around, cutting and pasting, etc. Good luck!
Advanced Transcription
I am currently testing for Advanced. Does anybody have any info on them? Thanks!
Advanced Transcription
Can anyone give me any information on Advanced Transcripion in Portland, OR?
Advanced is great!
I have worked for this company for awhile. It is true that the pay runs about 25 days behind, but once you get over that hump for the first pay period they pay consistently. You can have your check direct deposited. Pay is always on time.
I love working for Advanced!
Advanced Transciption
My friend and I both worked for them last year and the work was pleasant enough, but not enough of it, so had to find steady work. The owner kept telling us she would get new accounts but did not see it happening fast enough for my needs. Kept telling her I needed steady work. Don't know what they are like now. When she hired us, she said she had plenty, but turned out not to be the case.
Advanced Transcription
Really appreciate the prompt and honest feedback. Thanks.
Advanced Transcription
Is this company run by Joy Pickett? or somebody named Donna? If so, run. Since my experience with them of not being paid on time and having to threaten to go to BBB and everybody else I could think of to get my pay, this is the first time I have heard anything good. Everyone else who responded to me had the same horror story to tell. They are also known as Alliance or Allied transcription. That is why I asked who was running the show. They are sweet people but that doesn't pay the bills.
Advanced Transcription
I have subcontracted for Advanced Transcription out of Portland, Oregon for almost 3 yrs. It's a great company. We always have plenty of work. They have direct deposit and pay on time or early. The platform is easy to learn. If you are looking for work, check them out. You will not be disappointed.
Advanced Transcription
Pay was average but regular. Management could be very rude, unprofessional and disorganized. They would tell you one thing and then forget what they told you to do.  Platform had a lot of technical glitches. I wouldn't recommend them. You could probably do better elsewhere. I did! 
Advanced Transcription
They might have gotten their act together. I wish you luck!
Anyone apply with Advanced and
I sent in my resume last week and have yet to hear anything back. I had read that they are usually very quick to respond. Has anyone been contacted by them yet or been hired?
Yes, Advanced is in Oregon.
I think it is 600 lines a day three days per week for part-time, but I am not sure about full-time. IC position. I think you do have to be on an instant messenger though.

Was offered a position with Advanced Transcription out of Oregon yesterday. Told them I would give them an answer tomorrow. Any input on the company would be appreciated. Thanks
Advanced Transcription
I started there this week. The only negative I can say is you work a month before getting paid. 1st thru 15th get paid the 6th of the following month; 15th thru 30th is paid 20 of the following month. Not sure I'm going to stay.
Advanced Transcription
Does anyone currently work for or recently worked for Advanced Transcription? Could you Email me.
Advanced Transcription
how are they to work for? Is there enough work for the time you commit to? Do they have direct deposit? Thank you so much for your help.
Advanced is NOT ethical
I worked for a friend who since the 1980s had her own company named Advanced Transcription Network. In the 1990s, I think it was Gordon Transcription, changed their name to Advanced Transcription. REALLY CHEESY of them to do. For the longest time the newly named company did substandard work and my friend who owned ATN got many calls from clients complaining. No, ATN had not copyrighted the name, but is is and was unethical of them to steal her name.
I would NEVER work for advanced.
Advanced Transcription, Inc
Anyone heard of Advanced....how are they to work for? Do they require weekends? What is line rate?
Advanced in Oregon???
They run out of work on accounts, and then expect you to pick up and just learn a new one on a moment's notice. You have to have MSN messenger and be accountable if you need to step out and give them notice if you're not working a particular day that you have to commit to working (they leave that out until you are all signed on and set-up). The platform is clunky. The recruiter is nice at first, of course, aren't they all? Then, you get to working and the accounts run out.  This was my experience. I dropped 'em; IC to me equals freedom, not chained to the desk. Sorry...
Advanced is not in Kentucky
I think it's in Arizona, but anyway. It's not a bad company to work for. The only thing is you have to be on pager and give them a schedule yet you are an IC. The pay is not too bad. The work runs out and they put you on another account. The platform is horrible and takes a lot of time to do demographics and such. There is also patient lists that are pages and pages long.
I can't really say anything negative other than they hire ICs, but you have to tell them when you'll be working. They may be more flexible now, who knows.
Advanced Transcription out of Portland, OR??
Anyone have any information on this company or currently work for them?
Advanced Transcription, Inc, out of Oregon?
Noticed they had a posting on MTJobs looking for ICs. Did a search but "advanced transcription" is hard to find both here and in search engines without it being about schools. Anyone with experience? Pay on time? Steady work? Etc?
I'm thinking of applying but I always like to hear about companies first.
TIA
How about Advanced Radiology, ever heard of them?
Any information, good or bad, about them?
