I wouldn't say I LOVE my company
Posted By: satisfied on 2007-04-17
In Reply to: Well, here we go...time for another survey. Anyone out there love their job and able to survive on . - Disappointed MT
but I am satisfied at this point because I am not running out of work, the platform I am on is easy and counts fairly and the dictators are about what you find everywhere -- some hard to nearly impossible, some easy, mostly middle of the road to good. My pay per line is VERY low for my experience (18 years) but if I stay focused I make a good hourly wage. QA is very hands-off, but accessible if they are needed. Did I mention that I don't run out of work? I have to realize that times have changed and I may never make $30-50 an hour again. My company is stable, but they off-shore. One more thing -- I don't run out of work. :) Feel free to e-mail.

At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

Ha … wouldn't I love that. There'd be a big party at my place this weekend! :-) nm
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

No, I wouldn't do that. The company
you work for should pay that expense. That's my opinion, at least. I certainly would not pay for the license agreement to use the software they want/need me to use.
I still wouldn't want to work for a company
who would use a recruiter like that - one who represents many companies and knows little about the company, etc., supposedly. Its more a screener position, which can be good, but it can be marred with personal issues. I was hiring on for a job not too long ago when the recruiter quit mid stream and a new one took her place. I was being considered for a key position in the company, and then all communication ceased. I thought it odd, but knew it was not meant to be. Turns out I got a great job shortly thereafter. I was lucky enough to find out who the new recruiter was, at the company which just vanished mid way thru hiring, and knew immediately it was a person of questionable character whom many of us know from this board, and I know that she recognized my name from these boards, and our personal conversations over the years about how I felt about her banning policies, etc. I also was contacted recently by this same person to go and join her new boards, as she advised me that the horrible previously banned posters would now be allowed to post - of which I had to remind her I was one, and I asked to be removed from her mailing list, which she was the one using from here, but claiming the new board owner would be hijacking. Too much drama! So, this company lost out on a top-notch MT because a brandie new recruiter for multiple companies hopped in mid stream and didn't like me. Again, to me, it spoke volumes that the company would listen to someone with her infamous known reputation, let alone hire her to screen for applications. Since most of the MT industry was banned from her site, that would eliminate nearly the whole profession! And yes, she recruits for multiple companies, none of which I would be interested in working for if they choose her to represent them. It works both ways. This supposedly professional recruiter gets to sit at home on her computer, comparing applicants names with posters from this board, and makes her decisions based on THAT. Not cool. I know of another woman recruiter who was a dollar shy of a Happy Meal. She was a piece of work, too, and if she's floating around, heaven help anyone looking for a job. I was actually just about to take a job a while back with another company when she popped in to say hello, and asked me what my currently salary was. I told her, as she came in under the representation of this company. I told her my salary and she wrote back that I was a liar, nobody at said company made that salary. She said she still had connections at this company, and knew nobody, absolutely nobody made my hourly rate. Well, its a company known for that, paying high, paying low, and that's why I was with them so long, I was making good bucks. I was shocked beyond words, and declined the company's offer after that incident. Again, a loose cannon recruiter is bad for a company's image, and should be. They should have more discretion in hiring for this key position. Oh, yes, and how did I meet this last nightmare recruiter? I had run into her once on these boards and we chatted a few times. About a year later, she was recruiting for 1 of multiple companies, and apparently was attacking many of the applicants, in much the same way as she later did me. There was a page of posts from MTs who were flattened by her behavior, and were posting about it, even giving her name. Many old timer MTs then came on to share about this woman's reputation. I actually defended this person, posting that I had never experienced anything but professionalism in my dealings with her. Well, I went thru the same burn a year or so later. I believe the company back then replaced this recruiter, as they went thru a huge shortage period of MTs. I'm sure she's still lurking out there somewhere, along with the new one, and its just a shame for the companies that they seem to be oblivious to these personalities. I stayed at my job, making the imaginary salary that I could not possibly be making, literally laughing all the way to the bank, as the saying goes. Hang in there. The right recruiter with the right company will come along for you. When all lines up appropriately, that's the job that was meant for you.
Wouldn't work for a company?
A company calls you and says We are hiring an IC MT and the pay 11 cpl. The only thing is that you have to use one space after your periods. Dang that extra space! Gets me every time. Sorry, I cannot except the position because I am quite fond of that other space and you have no right to try and take it away from me :) In good fun.
I know nothing about this company, but I just wanted to say just because she wouldn't post her na
means absolutely nothing. There are reasons why a person may not want to post his or her name about such a volatile issue. I was in the same boat a few months ago. I would have implicated someone else. Sorry, this may not make sense, but I'm just pointing out that she may have a valid reason.
It wouldn't be a small company in SW GA would it? If it is, consider yourself lucky you got away

Wouldn't work for them if they were the last company on earth.
Go to their web wite, read the second paragraph. It says:
Creating a new way of getting IT done. Faster, cheaper – and yes, even better.
That tells you what they think of American MTs. Why would any American MT work for them?
I wouldn't waste my time to come here to sing praises of a company. ahh
I come here sometimes to vent and to hopefully keep some other poor person from having to suffer the same bad time. But I don't come here to slather prasies on some company because they are doing what they profess the are supposed to be doing in the first place. I'm doing my job - and if they are doing their job - nothing needs to be said. 
As long as you don't designate it as a company sponsored board I would think they wouldn't car
I think AllType should check out her BBB profile. I wouldn't want her representing my company
She can dispute owing MTs anything but how do you explain away having unsatifactory business practices with numerous complaints. Apparently, AllType doesn't care. Amazing...
I wouldn't quit a decent company for seasonal low work volume.
I'd hang around and see what the New Year brings. I wouldn't say that if you were working for MQ, but I would for a company with a decent reputation. If it is still slow in January, I'd talk to my supervisor and find out what her take is on the situation.
Love this company - want to retire with this company...sm
Been with them for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love them. I make my living with them - I don't do this for fun money. I think the dictators are pretty decent - you will always have your good and bad ones. You just have to get used to them. I love the account I am on - been with the same one since I started. They are a VERY fair company to work for.
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
I love this company
I've been with them since last June and went with them full-time as an MT in September. (Left a supervisory job with another company). Insurance is very good and much better (and cheaper) than my last job. I NEVER have had any problems with No Work except at the usual times like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm on a hospital account, so maybe that's why (as opposed to a clinic-type account).
Me too - I love it AND the company
nm
Yes, same company. I love MDI-FL
It is always very busy. I am happyw with the company
Hard to find a company these days that does not offshore at least some of their work.
I love this company.
I love this company. No pools, assigned accts. Best support I have had experience with, easy, productive platform. Paid training. Not the highest payer but fast platorm and can use Expanders extensively. Benefits for full time.
The company I love
I love MDI! Great company--wonderful liaison, superb tech support, kind and intelligent QA, no offshoring, respect and decency. They are highly selective in hiring, but if you can get on, you will be happy!
QT!!! QT!!! GREAT COMPANY!! LOVE IT!!!
NM
I would love to know which company. You may email me if you wish. sm
Email above. Thanks. 
I love the company - it's great.
Pay is on time, nice people.
Love it there, best company I have ever worked for, NM

I'm not bitter at all. And I love my company and my
job. Just made an objective commentary on how all the cheerleading for this company can strike some as cautionary. And your overreaction still confirms to me that something is fishy with these posts... That does not equate to bitterness, but rather, wisdom...And I never said I believe negative posters but not positives - you're reading a lot more into my simple statement.
No not badmouthing company at all -love KS
Just something been going on for just a few days. I thought maybe somebody else out there could shed some light. I work nights so when I have work coming in that was dictated that morning not done and it skips around, thats kinda strange. I dunno maybe somebody assigning at the facility is what I suspect to get those short and horrible dictators out of the way. Really hurting my line count though. Will definitely talk to the lead if it doesn't stop.
would love to know what company you work for now
nm
I love the company too. I have a different primary
account that has been running low, but just when I think I might need a backup account, the primary kicks back in. I think these smaller companies are the way to go these days.
Do any of you love the company you work for?
Please let me know if you work for a great place and why you like them. I currently work for Medware and I'm unhappy. I have applied at Axolotl, Webmedx, Encompass, SoftScript, eTransPlus, ATSI. Do you know anything about these companies?
Any advice is appreciated! :)
Are you saying your misery would love company (LOL)?-nm
.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

I love the one where the MT was bashing a company for not contacting her..
Love my platform...hate the company
I currently work for DSG and love DocQscribe.
I just love this company! I have only great things to say
about them. Pay on time, very nice and helpful people, excellent company!
I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm

I just went broke because of a company and would love to share their name
www.ripoffreport.com
We take a job expecting some semblance of constancy. We are not teenagers living at home.
And I have yet to meet an MT who does this for free, as a hobby, 40 hours a week.
Here we are, in the U.S., where insurance is expensive, the economy is mutilated and dirt cheap labor is just across the deep blue sea.
Some whine more than others but this Gourdpainter, I have been reading her for a long time, and from the tone of her posts, she is not a (an?) habitual complainer. She is helpful and considerate in her posts to new MTs and others who have a question.
United we Stand, Divided we Fall.
Just like the coal miners back in Pennsylvania, the company will let you eat coal dust all day long to save themselves the cost of ventilation, and then fight to not have to pay for the medical costs of an aging coal miner with black lung and ashen colored skin. No one made him go down there, I know, I know, but a man has got to feed his family. Work is work, you take what your skills will get you.
Fair enough - Some huge corporation is going to sue someone over a thread on the internet. This is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Have you read message forums elsewhere on here? There are disparaging remarks made about everything under the sun.
Word of mouth travels far and wide, and so does the truth.
So give us a break and let us make enough money to live a respectable life in this job which we do with steadfast dedication if we make it over 3 years.
Kindness reaps kindness. Consideration for the MT - For instance:
Supervisor: Gee Susie, work load is light these days, and your paycheck reflects that. How are you doing? Are you able to make ends meet? How can we remedy this in house or outside of this company so you can have an income you can rely on?
MT: Thank you. I would appreciate that very much. I am down to a few nickels after I pay the bills and am beside myself with worry. The anxiety sends me to MTstars where I vent in hopes of finding others who understand the DREAD AND FEAR I AM EXPERIENCING because I WORK ALONE ALL DAY LONG,without my comrades to take breaks with or have lunch with WHERE THIS TYPE OF VERBAL EXCHANGE WOULD ORDINARILY TAKE PLACE.
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for. There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well. They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance. Am I getting rich off this? No. Am I paid reasonably well? Yes. Would I recommend Transtech? Absolutely!
I love the company I work for and I just wanted to share
that with you all so that if you are not happy, realize there is hope out there. I worked for Healthscribe/Spheris for over 2 years until I found this position. I am a SE for MDI out of Maryland and I make 10 cents per 65 character line including spaces. This is a great smaller company that does not offshore. I am left alone to do my work but I have somebody there if I need any questions answered, etc. QA is wonderful too. They didn't dump me into an account full time, they let you ease into your account over a 2 week period doing 5 reports a day so you can work your other job until you are taken off of QA. I was off QA in a week. My account is great, the platform is great (Bayscribe), production Expander is user friendly. For all you unhappy MTs, there is hope out there.
Glad you love your company. Hope you stay there - LOL

I would love to get a card from my company...and a holiday incentive...
Sounds like you have it pretty good. I didn't get squat from my company, and there are times when I do not even get a paycheck on time. If your company is making a profit and able to pay you on time and offer an incentive, and is not owned by some private equity firm that may go under -- you are very lucky.
In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm
good benefits. The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve. Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked. If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary. Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive. I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available. That is just my little thing, I guess. I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.
Hope this helps.
GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account. It has it all. But they use MedRite. This is awful! Was this actually designed for an MT? This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep. Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief! Is there anyone who has used this? Are there any tips you could give me?
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
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.
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.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
