I worked for them two years ago for about 4 months
Posted By: mt on 2008-10-05
In Reply to: Webmedx - some accts ran out a few times from Wed. on (sm) - worried
and they were always running out of work on the two accounts I had. Obviously, nothing has changed since. I had to pretty much sit at my computer 24/7 to get my lines and much of that was waiting for it.
The people were nice, which was truly a blessing. But, I could not make any money if the work just was not there. So, I had to move on.

I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
Been with them 3 years, not 3 months. sm
I have had a very good experience as an employee. QA people are great, always willing to help. Been there 3 years, and I haven't a clue whether accounts are overflow or not, so wondering how someone who has been there a few months is privy to this information??? I have enough work to keep me busy and meet requirements, occasional overtime, consistent bonuses. I really get sick of seeing all these negative comments from short timers, so had to speak up, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
Yep, I worked there for about 3 months.
Complete waste of my time. Platform was terrible, to say the least. Very disappointing experience, and lots of bad press on this board on Transcend for a long time. I should have listened. Sorry you're going thru the same thing. One thing I can say - I stuck it out when my initial gut reaction was to say Adios! I only wish I had said Adios a lot sooner. They were nice and all that, but not my fit technologically, which is about half my income!
I have worked for MW for 2 months
We have plenty of work, pay is on time, lots of positives.  I'd say more but my girl is calling.
I worked for TT about 9 months ago ..sm
and after a short and horritble experience at MQ, ended up at DeVenture.
I worked for them up until a few months ago....
You can email me with any questions.
I worked for them a few months last
year on two accounts and ran out of work everyday. Other than that, they were very nice people to deal with all the way around. I'd go ahead and use their computer, if for no other resaon than as a backup to yours. Besides, you have to pay the deposit out of your earnings either way.
I worked for them for a few months.
company was great, staff was friendly, pay was always on time, but the IT people are in a different country and communicate by IM. They screwed up my router so bad I had to get a new one.
I would work for them again if they had a better technical support.
I worked there for about 4 months and
shouldn't even call themselves a transcription company. If you want bad management, terrible voice files and a platform that works when it wants to I say go for it. Oh and make sure you have a second job lined up so when they run out of work you have something to pay the bills with.
7 years, 10 months and counting at -
:)
I have 8 years, was hired 6 months ago and it was the best sm
move I ever made. I am happy with lots of work, a good paycheck that is time and a great manager.
Maybe they did not have an opening or maybe your references did not check out. I know they checked because my old boss told me they did.
No raises in 2 Years 10 Months
Anyone want to guess which company? Or are they all not doing reviews and/or giving raises? Sure does detract from any motivation!
I quit KS about 6 months ago. I have 22 years of
experience in acute care. When they offered me a position they sent a letter stating 8 cpl regardless of experience. After they saw the quality/quantity of my work they said I would get a raise, but never did. Almost 2 years ago I was offered a position with KS (though declined) and they offered me 9.5 cpl.
I didn't not try to negotiate on the 8 cpl, though others have posted they did and were able to get more $$. I don't know of anyone personally so can't say how valid the info is.
EMR has been around for years, Obama only a few months.
There's a Politics Board for drivel like this.
she worked there for two months - last year
By the time her last check arrived it was another two months after she had sent the equipment back. She would call everyday and get a different response as to why she still hadn't gotten a check for her first two weeks. She wasn't angry or about it, just frustrated because she thought working at home would be a godsend, but in this case it wasn't. It was unfortunate that she did not try other services.
I worked for them for a few short months
and could barely make 1000 lines a day. Dunno if I just needed to put the pedal to the metal or if it was their system...
I have worked at KS for almost 9 months and am very happy. sm
I looked at all angles when applying and most of the problems that people spoke of were in the past. A few had not even worked there for a few years. I took the chance and could not be happier.
I worked there briefly PT about 9 months ago. sm
I did clinic work, for which I was paid 7-1/2 cpl (you get 1 cent more for acute care, I think), which was extrmely low for IC work, but the work was easy, and I liked that they paid every week. The wav files are downloaded from an FTP site along with the appt list for the doc you are assigned, then your finished work is uploaded to the FTP site. There was no special platform, just Word. I don't know about how the hospital side was done. The people there are great, and the QA people are friendly and helpful. The pay was always on time, direct deposit.
Hope this helps! 
Well, I worked for them for about 6 months last year.
It was not a terrible experience, but it was not a wonderful experience. Everything about them was just mediocre. Not much to say, really. Maybe that's why there aren't many comments.
I worked there a few months ago. People very
nice, but disorganized. Kept losing my work. Sound files were really bad, only worked on one account so it could have been just that account. Platform so/so, but looking at upgrading within the year and I don't know what platform.
They are a fairly small company, I think less than 50 MTs.
I worked for them for 3 months and left. Always
of full time lines, so no sign on bonus. I had an 80% ESL account and I cared more about the quality, so I made less than 900 dollars a payperiod. Great quality, good for them and my conscience, but not enough money to live on, no sign on bonus and no benefits. I left for a company where I am already far exceeding 900 dollars a payperiod with no sweat. BTW: No incentive or good QA bonuses at Transcend, so that was no help. No differential either. They do pay overtime, but that is not so great when you are trying to make sure you understand multiple foreign accents. Good luck to you.
Worked there for 2 yrs and left a couple months ago.
Couldn't take working with unqualified people any longer. A very unprofessional company.
I third that; friend worked for them and took about 3-4 months to collect his pay. nm

Haven't worked for ExecuScribe but have been at TT for about two months now
TT is the best company I've worked for in my 18 years as an MT. See all the other postings below.
PS- I am not a plant or cheerleader. Just a happy employee.
Could you be more specific? You worked there for 9 months -- what happened? sm
I'm just curious. Stay away could be for a variety of reasons.
Thanks.
Doesn't sound too bad to me with 7 months experience. I have 26 years' exp and get 11.5. nm

I have worked for them for about six months. They're great! Work is always there and sm
pay is always on time. They're very nice to work with, too.
I have worked for MDI for 2 years and I
have never gotten a raise. Production incentives????? Never. If you are looking for all the perks, you'd better look somewhere else.
Worked at OSi for over 2 years and they have never
I worked for them about 3 years ago
The people were real sweet, but I couldn't pay my bills. They have a funny pay scale and it changes after 3 months. Wish you luck.
I have worked there for 2+ years sm
and am happy with the company. They supply your computer for free, they help with education, everyone is helpful. There was a slow time for a few months, but it has picked up now. MT work always has slow times from time to time. They have hospital accounts that one can work on if one runs out of work, which they pay more for MTs that can work acute care accounts as well as CMTs.
I have worked for them for 2 years and like it.
They have multiple platforms to work on. They have some difficult accounts, but no more than any other company I have worked for. There is always work available as you have secondary accounts and they provide a list of accounts that need extra help daily. Benefits are good, pay is NEVER late, direct deposit.
I worked for them about 2 years ago as IC sm
and they were really nice people to work for. Paid on time and very flexible, too.
I worked for them a few years ago.
I got my feet wet working for them, and I gained some valuable experience. However, I found that they constantly sent updated notes/templates on how their docs wanted files formatted. This got to be very time consuming after a while as this seemed to be a weekly occurence. Of course, that was a few year ago, so they might have come up with a better system. I also found their pay to be on the low end, and their raises, which you had to put in for, weren't all that great.
I worked for them 3-4 years ago and they were
very, very nice. At the time, it was strictly IC status. Don't know what they pay now but I got 7 cents a line. They had radiology, acute care, ER, clinic notes and cardiology. Pay was always on time. Platform was nice, all done over the internet, use your own PC. Never had problems and tech support was great. I would have stayed but needed fulltime with benefits.
I worked there two years ago
And at that time they still gave you all the equipment and paid for down time if you documented it correctly.
I had an okay experience at Transolutions. The people were really nice. What they said in the other threads about receiving huge thick binders on each account is true though, and I did run out of work a few times but they paid me for it.
I worked for her years ago
and in my many years before and many years since, I have never had a worse experience. Pay was by the gross line and I got my money, but I have never known anyone to be as nasty and mean as this person was to me. This is just my experience, but IMO, you would be wise to avoid any dealings with this company.
Probably should have said, I worked for them about 4 years ago, so they may pay a little better now.

I think that's sad. I worked there about 2 years ago and liked it. nm

I have worked there for over 3 years and I'm...
 Great people to work for. Pay is very dependable. Work is very consistent. Most of the time there is more work than you can handle. My paycheck is very consistently in the same price range unless I take days off. Great QA people. They work with your schedule. I honestly do not have any complaints about them. I really like working for them.
I have worked as IC for 10 years
and never got - even with had my own hospital accounts - thing is - so many people have access to the report - who can prove what? I also hear terribly expensive unless you get through AAMT
It has been about 5 years since I worked there so
things may be different, but account was 85 to 90% Indian dictators and I had to re-record. Poor dictators and poor quality dictation is a horrible combination. I can't remember what the pay rate was, but it wasn't near enough. They would also call me up to 6 times a day, sometimes just to chat, other times they were just so disorganized it took that many calls to get all the info. I don't remember the name of the platform, but it was not user friendly at all. I worked there less than a month I think.
I worked for them years ago and it took several..sm
phone calls to get my first paycheck. Needless to say, I immediately quit. I don't know if they are different now or not but I would be cautious.
I worked for them but it was probably 5 years ago.
At that time I had to re-record work. The account was about 95% ESL dictators from India (this is what I was told by the company). So rerecording and Indian dictators make for not very good dictation. Their platform was extremely time-consuming and not at all user friendly. I can't remember the pay, but it wasn't enough. The office would also call me up to 6 times a day because they were so disorganized they couldn't think to ask me everything in one call. They sometimes called just to chat. I had only worked a short time and had no relationship with these people, yet they called to chat. The woman I dealt with sounded very blonde.
Things may have changed since then. They advertise for new positions a few times a year and I don't know if that means they retain most of their MTs or possibly have lost accounts, or their hiring for new accounts.
I worked for them 4 years ago
and not sure if I was just very inexperienced at that time or what but I felt the work was tough - never had the same doc twice and heavy ESLs... don't remember the system being cumbersum (sp) or the C-phone stuff - and I always had skads of telephone lines so not sure about that either
I have worked for them for 5 years....
I never experienced a problem with being paid on time. Direct deposit, is always there on the day expected, sometimes the day before. Benefits are nice, plenty of work. I enjoy the atmosphere. Management accessible to the top. A very comfortable place to work...not the usual *corporate* atmosphere. I had plenty enough of that before coming to Breitner. Like I said, very comfortable place to work. I don't dread turning on the computer in the morning, and that means a LOT nowadays.
I also worked there for several years. sm
It was an excellent place to work, but you do have to learn the account. QA is very good, they will not accept sloppiness. I felt it was one of the best companies I have worked for; I learned enough to do editing for another company, which is why I left. It was a very good experience.
When I worked there about 3 years ago, they were in .

I worked for them for a few years...sm
You are welcome to e-mail if you have any questions.
I worked for them several years ago as IC sm
don't think they offer employee status, they paid on time, checks never bounced and always had work and were very nice people to work for. Tech support was very good, they had internet-based platform. Back then they paid 7 cents per line and had both fulltime and parttime status, don't know about their pay now. I would go back if I could.
