Would it be worth discussing this with them before being hired that you want to train on the account
you will be working on and wont stay if you get put on accounts noone else wants. Would that make a difference to be upfront and tell them that.
Hired recently for 0.825 cpl.
:)
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!!
I'm a recently hired IC for MDI
nm
was you recently hired?
How long ago did you work for them? My friend was very recent....
They have recently hired several, don't know
for sure if they are still hiring, but best way to apply is through their website. The recruiters and supervisors do not work in the office, but in their homes. The fax is probably in CA, so faxing the resume may not get you a response.
I was recently hired and did not test.

Were you recently hired for a new account? If so (sm)
wouldn't it be easier for you to ask them at the office if the acct has started, if not when, if it has, ask for a backup. Coming here and complaining does no good.
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.
Well, crap. I was just recently hired
by DSG and have heard only good things from folks nice enough to answer my posts on here.
I'm quitting my full-time job (with a steady paycheck) to work from home with DSG. Gosh, I hope and pray that I make enough money!!! I committed to 1000 lpd and will be IC status Monday when I start.
HELP!! Now I'm scared!! Good luck to you, though.
This is scary, I was recently hired :( nm

Recently hired on and was told those of us coming on now (sm)
were eligible to participate immediately in the 401. As far as the matching, their ad states discretionary so I assume it is dependent upon profit margin or something. At least they are up front about it and not telling you they match and then say, Oops, no more like MQ did.
Don't bother. I was recently hired and hate it.
is correct in saying that they are not honest. Wish I was aware of that before taking this job. Guess I'll just keep checking the job postings. Should have listened to my daughter she tried to warn me.
I recently hired on and was told they were kind of getting away from 12 hour (sm)
but that a lot of that depended on the account you were hired for.
My contract (was just recently hired for a new acct coming on) does not list any benefits for part-t
It only gives the requirements (as stated in my previous post) for full-time status for benefits. If they used to offer benefits, they are not offering them to new hires, at least that is my impression.
They didn't even have enough work to train me
.
Yep, it will eventually happen; just don't be stupid like I was and train them to do YOUR work.
You will eventually knock yourself out of your job if you allow it. Don't agree to it, don't allow it, and don't train ANYONE not even a backup MT, and most importantly DO NOT edit. Once they get it down, bye bye to you it will be.
Good luck to anyone going through this with Medware. I feel for you as this happened to me in the past as well back when I made real good money and cannot ever make that now.
Medware not only sends work offshore, but has offices in Bangalore to train MTs there.nm

This is not a flame, but how recently did you work for them? nm

Anyone here currently/recently work for Teletrak....sm
I had been in contact with them several months ago, did my research, they offered me a great IC position, great pay and flexible, very nice manager, but I had issues with their computer/tech set-ups, so went with another company. I am now losing my primary account and there is no back-up in sight, this would be in Feb., so I am looking over all my old contacts and offers. ANY newer information would be so very appreciated! Thanks! 
I have been running out of work consistently recently. nm

They were running an ad recently for help. Does this go on all the time with no work there. How
are the accounts to do if they are overflow from MQ. Not sure I would care for a job like that.
I have to agree. My MTSO has had a lot of days recently of slow to no work but there is no way I'
jump from the frying pan into the fire. I can't afford to take a chance. Thanks for sharing your situation.
anyone get hired/work with TRX?
I had an interview with them last week, she said she'd get back to me with her decision, but never did. Wondering what its like to work there if they are so unprofessional as to not call back when they promise.
Just Hired - No Work!
Wouldn't jump ship and head to Webmedx. Been there 1 month and already out of work. Good thing I haven't quit my other part-time position!
I was hired by them but there is no work
nm
Hired over a month ago.... no work yet
Hired and then a month later trained and then weeks later NOTHIng. wHAT THE HECK IS going on???? i'm losing my mind here.
Was hired to work for them, but we never coordinated.
I was looking forward to it as they seem very nice and very up to date.
Yes they do on everyone, just hired, work for them, not hospital.(nm)

Huh? I work M-F. Asked for it when I hired in 1 yr ago. nm

QA is not hired to finish MT's work
It's for going over for quality, not finishing what an inept MT doesn't want to do. The MT is supposed to look things up and try to put out a perfect product. The line rate for QA is very low. The problem is that everyone wants to work from home, whether or not they are qualified.
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm
d
They are well aware there is no work and that they have over hired..they don't care....sm
as long as backlog is 0 they are happy. Good luck to you. I guess one more person couldn't make it any worse than it already is, but I hope you don't have a family to feed.
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
Anyone hired by Futurenet to work on the new SC account? SM
I might apply, just wanted some info, thanks.
Me too, just hired on, and already the account I am on had very little work over the weekend.
Hope this is just a fluke and its not like this daily.
New people hired are last to receive work.
&*&
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.
I was hired for 3rd shift and was told there was plenty of work
i was given 4 accts and still don't make money - that is all i am saying
Anyone who is hired for one work type only should make less money (IMO)
nm
I work part time, got hired last month. nm
Was hired for a company that promised lots of work.
do they do this? I checked the archives on this company before accepting the position and although there were similar complaints along with disorganization and some others I decided to give it a try. In retrospect I should have listened to those posts. I'm out of work for the 4th time now, there's no communication. I don't know if my first clue something was amiss was the recruiter with her kids screaming in the background during the interview or the vague answers to questions I had clearing indicating there no transcription experience on her end. Why do companies do this. I have bills to pay and I always, always address this situation - is there enough work, do you run out of work often. I know there are times when work may be low but this consistently happening.
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 ?!?!
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
I agree they have WAY over hired, but I am required to work my schedule..you got it made then!
I wasn't hired for 1 work type, but told them I like OPs so that is what I am assigned. When I r
out of ops, I usually stop unless we are out of TAT on other jobs because I do not want to take other people's work. I do not think I should get paid less for that.
they are willing to train
The training is not so much.... if you can type medical ....... and typing is the MAIN thing with lawyers.... you are IN. If you will show up for work... you are IN. The legalese is based on latin and so knowing the medical terminology, it's a breeze of a transition. They don't have all that much legalese. It is mostly English and stuffy forms of English. They dictate usually on a dictaphone. CHECK IT OUT. I know lawyers are weird, but how do you get weirder than what has happened to this MT business???? This is horrendous. Lawyers aren't going to cut your pay! I had my pay cut in MT two, no THREE different times, for no good reason excpet the owner wants to keep more money. That is not the way to treat a hard worker.
But ... you travel to train to CA ... what's not to like about that/ :-) sm
You can take it as a business expense. Of course, I have no family to consider and love to travel, so obviously I am not like a lot of people (in many ways! ha).
Don't you have to go to NJ to train? And pay was only 1.75 per page. nm
s
I only know that you have to train in their office
in NJ for a few days. I live in NJ, but the other end of the state, and it just is not feasible for me to travel 3 or 4 hours each way for a few days. Too bad, though, as they missed out on an awesome MT!
