If you have worked for us for two years and haven't gotten a raise or a bonus....

you need to contact Liz, as she states. We have many bonuses for weekends (when busy) and we also pay LD. If you are not getting long distance paid - speak to Liz. If you are a true employee, and not just getting on the bashing bandwagon, then Liz can help you.

That is MTSO PR b.s. A raise is a raise in line rate. A bonus or incentive is just that. NOT sm

a raise.


I got one too and haven't worked for them for two years-thanks. lol nm
nm
I thought 2 cpl was max bonus? How is it possible to raise it more?
x
Raise? No. There for 2 years. Never even
had a performance appraisal. I have had QA random reviews that let me know my quality is 98.9%.
I make that too, have not had a raise in 12 years though.
.
They gave you a 5 cpl raise in 7 years?!
That's the first I've ever heard of MQ doing anything like that, unless you started as a newbie at 3 or 4 cpl or something. Wow.
20 years, never heard of a raise in production outside of payscale...
and we all know those went down due to supply and demand no longer in our favor.
i've worked for MQ for a long time and never got a raise
nm
5 years a never a bonus
and never a raise - wish this would change.
how do u know if u haven't worked for them?
mq seems nice 2 on the surface.

just curious
Haven't heard of them in my 25 years as an MT.
Try a Google search and see what you come up with.
What incentive pay? In 5 years I haven't gotten
anything for holidays and have worked most of them. 
I haven't missed any in 8 years.
It won't help the short check situation, happens in every company - just an error you have to have corrected with another check/deposit.


LOL, I haven't thought of that in years!

Haven't worked for them but I'm pretty sure
I've seen postings about this company on this board before. Try doing an archive search.

If I remember correctly it's owned by a very nice lady but she's really a ditz so the company's very disorganized.

Double check the archives to make sure though.
I haven't worked there in awhile but sm
It was a definite trade-off. The pay was just not good at all. However, on the plus side, they were good to work with and they assigned accounts that weren't bad. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay at that $$ and had to move on. You will have to weigh how much $$ you need, but I was nowhere near 9 or 10 cpl with over 10 yrs experience.
Haven't worked for those places but....
I can recommend MDI-MD and Landmark. MDI-MD is IC only; Landmark has employee and/or IC.

I'm not sure if either is hiring but they're definitely worth a shot.

Hope you find something else soon :-)
I think they're new. Haven't heard of them in all my years of doing MT. nm

Unions haven't helped much in years
Sadly, they've become more of a corporation themselves. You pay dues and if a conpany wants to bail or relocate or outsource, they still can and do.
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.
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.
Have worked for them 8 weeks, haven't received a check yet. -nm

I haven't worked there in close to a year now, but I was very happy while I was there. nm
:)
Sounds like me, I got it today and I haven't worked there since 2005
WEIRD!
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
I've been working weekends for 7 years and haven't heard of this.

TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm

Years ago posts said they were extremely picky & hard to work for. Haven't

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.
Asking for a raise isn't going to do it. There is a policy for raise increases.

Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
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.
