I was hired by the CEO and love my job at Keystrokes. sm

I agree with the lead person in that there is more here than you are telling. Did you not like the account? Did you not have the proper equipment, phone lines, etc? Did you send in your paperwork? Did IS set you up? If so, you were not forgotten by the CEO. After she hired me, I talked to Becky for paperwork, Val for my account and Paul for IS. I have never spoken to Lee again but I am glad that she hired me in the first place. Did you need her to hold your hand? Do you have problems with other companies too?

    Just recently hired, and so far I Love it...
    e-mail me with specific questions if you want...but I have  no complaints thus far. 
    I also, was hired by keystrokes

    and then never heard another word.  I was dealing with Penny.  I understand that people may be busy and the company may be growing ect.... But, when you offer someone a position and they accept, there should be a process in place that ensures that people don't fall through the cracks.  This is TOTALLY unprofessional. 


    KEYSTROKES NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. bottom line! There is NO excuse for this.


    Hired by Keystrokes
    Has anybody been hired by Keystrokes lately and still waiting to start work?  I was hired two weeks ago and should've started last week.  I keep getting the run around and not a definite answer.  I'm starting to worry.  Anybody else in this same situation?
    Anyone apply for Keystrokes lately and get hired?
    I am wondering how long it takes to hear back from them once applying
    I started 3 days after being hired by Keystrokes and have been there since
    June. I love my account and have no complaints.
    I was offered a job with MDI a year ago before I was hired at Keystrokes - SM
    They told me that I probably wouldn't want to leave my other job as I probably wouldn't have enough work, and that the account they would put me on was VERY heavy ESL and needed unlimited long distance. That was a big turn off for me! I then accepted a position with Keystrokes right after that, and a year later I'm still glad that I did!
    I wanted to work for Keystrokes but she hired me a month ago
    and then never followed through. I think that they are a great company, at least the friends I have that work there think so, but it seems that hiring is their weak spot. I should apply for that. I am organized and would never let someone slip through the cracks. I am going to call their office on Monday to be the squeaky wheel.
    Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
    I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
    welcome..you will love it at Keystrokes...

    I LOVE Keystrokes!
    I just had my second day with KS and LOVE them! In just 6 hours, I was able to do 1600 lines! I have an AWESOME ER account and all of the dictators are so easy! I hope to be there for many years to come!
    LOVE Keystrokes!
    While I don't type ortho for Keystrokes, I do ER, and I LOVE it. I don't have any ESLs, I always have TONS of work, make excellent money and, most importantly, I am treated like an actual human rather than just some number or just another employee. My lead MT is the best and is always extremely helpful. I also received a welcome card in the mail from the office when I first started. They actually go out of their way to show their MTs that they do care. They are by far the best out there.
    Love Keystrokes too
    I've been with KS for a little over a month now and love it. I plan on being there for many years to come. I was also offered a job with TT before I went to KS, but was told that the account was over 75% ESL. I have no ESLs on my account with KS :)
    Love Keystrokes
    I have been there for a month now and love it. My manager is super friendly and helpful, and I always have tons of work. I am on an ER account and I did not have to purchase any equipment. They provided with a Transnet foot pedal, which was all that I needed. My account is awesome and my pay checks have almost doubled since I left my old company (SPI/CyMed) and started working for Keystrokes. I'm sure that they are not a perfect fit for every MT, but I am extremely happy there and hope to be there for many years.
    Love Keystrokes
    I have never worked for Zylomed, but I do work for Keystrokes and I love it. I have an excellent account and an awesome lead MT. They always pay on time (direct deposit), and I have also found them to be very flexible. The best part is that they do not outsource at all and keep all work in the US. I would recommend them to any MT.
    Definitely not Keystrokes! Love it there!

    Love Keystrokes
    Been there nearly a year now, and I have had nothing but a great experience there. I would recommend them to anyone.
    Welcome to Keystrokes...you both will love it!!!
    I have been here over a year and I love it...couldn't ask for a better company to work for...
    I have been with Keystrokes for a year now and I love it...
    I love my account...my leads are helpful and I have as much work as I want...best move I ever made was coming to work for Keystrokes...Good luck!!!
    I love Keystrokes..would recommend them to anyone...
    Good luck with your decision...
    I have been with Keystrokes for over a year and love it...

    Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
    and only employee positions...
    I would love to work for Keystrokes but
    I do not have a personal computer with XP and they stated that I needed to supply my own PC with XP.  Once I find a place that I can buy XP at a reasonable price I will apply.
    I love working for Keystrokes...
    I can't answer the second part of your question because I have been with them for 2 years...but I know they are a stable company and I finally found the perfect fit for me...good luck!!!
    I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
    I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
    I work for Keystrokes and I love it...

    I work for Keystrokes and love it
    Great company, good pay, great leads and plenty of work...I have been there for 2-1/2 years
    Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!

    I have also been at Keystrokes 2-1/2 years and love it...
    Great company.

    Can't speak about Webmedex, but I love keystrokes.. sm
    Best company by far that I have ever worked for. Steady work, good line counts, good specs, fair QA, on-time pay.
    Keystrokes love fest question
    It used to be (a couple of years ago) that anytime Keystrokes was on here it was all negative responses and no one had anything good to say.  Now it is a continual gush of admiration.  What changed?  Just curious.
    Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...
    nm
    I work for Keystrokes on DocQScribe and love it. sm
    I find that my line count is accurate (I pulled a few reports out into word and counted that way). ShortHand works, or I would not be able to type, seriously. I type 1500 lines a day, most days, worst being 700 in the beginning and 2357 being the best. This is 8 hours. I have done more but worked longer than 8 hours those days.

    The only thing I was faster on was WP5.1+ with PRD+ but maybe it was just that my fingers were younger :)
    Yes -- still at Keystrokes and still love it. :-) I am just looking for extra work. sm

    I have worked 2 jobs for almost all of my life, so it is almost 2nd nature.  I think you will find Keystrokes a refreshing change from MQ.  They actually care about your well being and listen to you . They do not overhire.  The benefits are pretty good.  I do not have anything bad to say about them. 


    Good luck! 


    exactly....all of the people that I know that work for Keystrokes are happy and love their job...
    move on if it is not the right fit for you...there are plenty of other companies out there...
    I feel the same way!!! I love Keystrokes...I have finally found my fit....
    I type Ortho and absolutely love it!!!
    I am not management...I just happen to love working for Keystrokes...
    sorry you had such a bad experience but doesn't mean that Keystrokes is bad...just in your opinion...
    I love Keystrokes...been there for 3 months and couldn't ask for a better place to work...
    nm
    I agree with Denise...I have also only been at Keystrokes for a shor time but I love it...it already

    beats the company I was with before, and I was with them for a year-and-a-half...I can see if someone wanted an opinion about a company and you had a bad experience to share, but not just to get on here and say how horrible a company is...move on and good luck....


    That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
    The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home.  Still, business is business.  I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it.  I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then. 
    I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
    but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
    Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

    Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
    but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
    Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
    nurse.  I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
    Love, love, love DeVenture
    Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
    Love, love, love Axolotl
    I totally love Axolotl.  Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits.  Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to.  I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
