He may have sold out to Nuance in March of 2007, but he still runs the show!  Second of all they are absolutely NOT bringing any accounts whatsoever back to the U.S.  That's just plain fabrication, deceit, lies, BS -- whatever you prefer to call it.  It just ain't true!  They just recently laid off the majority of the American QA staff and have forced the skeleton American crew they have left to go to production.

The lie that they are bringing work back to the U.S. was started and perpetuated in January of this year as a negotiating tactic to get the Indians to continue to work for peanuts instead of giving them more money.  When the Indians called their bluff, they hired a bunch of American QA people only to fire them at the end of April, beginning of May when the Indians caved.

And finally, they are an Indian run company and their QA and MT staff is 80% Indian.  I have the actual figures given to me by the Director of US Operations at Focus.  Focus employs 3800 Indians!  Does that sound like a U.S. company to you?

Oh, and the Director of Recruitment posted that 90% of their operation is in the U.S.!!!!!  He flat out lies.  He also says everyone laid off got a nice severance package.  Total BS!  Half of those laid off had to call the company and scream bloody murder when their checks were deposited as promised.  The other half will be calling tomorrow!

starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company.  However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day.  It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously.  I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would. 

Does anybody know of a transcription service that was hiring FT MTs to work at home?  They are located in Ohio.  I remember seeing it, but I cannot remember the name. 

When I talked to the recruiter she said they paid for spaces.   I worked for a company that did not  pay for spaces now and I am not going to go that route again I do not think.  I think the pay for on the low side too for my years of exp.  She told me FT and PT get paid the same and only the third shift makes more.  Insurance was not bad and it compatible with what I am paying now.    The only thing that was told to me was 500 lines for PT.    I think I will ask more questions  before I fill out paperwork.  Thanks for input

Has anyone ever worked for OSI Transcription?  If so, are they decent?  I just did the online transcription test and am awaiting their answer. I would hate to give up my local jobs for this one and find out they are not a decent company.

Thanks,

Lynn

Would love to have all and any information available about Hands-On Transcription company.  Would like to know if pay always arrived on time (supposed to be every week), if the accounts were good, and if you got paid by gross line or character line...please, important decision and any and ALL information would be very, very helpful.

Thank you.

Can anyone tell me anything about this company, particularly what you think of their line rates.

Questions to ask the company your work for:  How often are the lights turned off?  How often does your phone get shut off? How often do you lose internet service for nonpayment?  How may checks -payroll or otherwise did you bounce this month, this year? How many IRA accounts did you take money from?  How is your inhouse turn around for employees?  How many excuses can you come up with for my late payroll?  You want a schedule of my availability, but do you offer work to keep me busy during the time you insist I be available?  How many times have you paid your full time employees late?  How many times have you asked your fulltime employees to invest $17,500 into your company while bouncing checks?  How much did you spend on a christmas party without bonuses paid to your employees and even paying them AFTER the holidays late?

You would be surprised what one company's answer would be.  Home base  =  PA.  Beware people.  What is good today is not always good tomorrow.  Am I bitter, no.  My dream job as an inhouse employee was shattered when my eyes were open.  And I left on my own because of it.

Has anyone worked for Northeast Transcription.  Is it a good company to work for?

Has anyone had any experience with Milner Transcription Company ?

In reply to your question regarding Integrity.  It has to one of the greatest companies out there.  The owners are wonderful, honest and ahead of the rest.  I have worked for alot of companies and this has got to be the best one out there by far.  Pay is always on time, steady work, loyal and just all around great people.  If you have the chance I would suggest this company above all others before they are full....  Integrity, they stand by their name.  If you have any questions please let me know.  I'd be happy to answer any questions in regards to this company.  I've never been so happy.   Thanks!!

They are in Atlanta.  Say they pay by the Minute.  Not sure what that means.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Does anyone know anything about this company?  Thanks

Looking for info about inhealth - are they hiring - good company/bad company.  Heard that they bought out a few failing transcription services.
