Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

Not sure how long you have been with Columbus Buffy, but Columbus is now the ONLY Ohio CSC, ergo called the Ohio CSC.  Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton & Cincinnati were consolidated 2 years ago under the Columbus office to form the Ohio CSC.  Now many of my old timer's that I started with inhouse went home to either work or retire. 

I've been with them for 21 years now (starting with the old Transcriptions Limited) and have been through more supervisors, coordinator's and managers than I care to think about, but I honestly believe the reason we are so successful now is that our operations manager has been there/done that.  Started as an inhouse M/assistant, worked up a few notches into various positions IE; scheduling, weekend coordinator, supe, etc.  Went home to MT for a while then came back in a few years back and really worked her way up into the present position.  Her ability to know what's needed all the way around, delegate and common sense attitude really speaks for itself in how successful we are. 

Nope, never met the OM, only talked to her on the phone over the years and am not *the cheerleader*.  Only stating what I know for a fact and what works for my CSC.

MD-IT?  I guess I am not sure how to search the archives for any information. Rate of pay would be good, platform, etc.  This one is in Kentucky.

TIA

What kinds of work types do they have, what is their usual starting line rate, is there plenty of work, etc.

I know there have been post on this board about the Columbus/Ohio office closing BUT, these were "leaks from inhouse", speculation, etc....as is the norm with MQ.

So, I'm not sure if they do close where we would all go, get transferred to etc.  I just pray they don't..why mess with a great thing ya know?

I interviewed with them several months ago.  For level 3 acute care, I was offered 10 cpl for IC, 11 cpl over a certain number of lines per week.  For IC, line requirement was 1000 lines per week and seemed that they would be very flexible.  Use your own computer if IC.

I was also offered 8.5 cpl for employee status (with incentives depending on lines per hour worked).  I think they required 20 hours per week and have to keep an average of at least 150 lines per hour (it sounded like they had a time clock system).  They provide the computer if employee status. 

Everyone I spoke to was very nice, especially the recruiter.  I turned the offer down due to reasons not relating to the company in particular.  They did tell me that they had a lot of ESL (the test consisted of all ESL), but I don't know if this would apply to ER.  Hope this helps.     

Flexibility with schedules, insurance?? I know they have benefits and insurance but wondered if insurance was good. Just overall opinions on satisfaction or dissatisfaction would be appreciated.  TIA.

I have done ASRs before with Transcend and with Transcend it would have been faster retyping the report. I would like some current info on what it is like working on Precyse ASRs?  Thanks...

Merry Christmas all!

Unexpectedly this morning, I received a recruiting email from them.  I have sort of been going over some of the companies and comtemplating making a change.  I have 5+ years in my current company, and the only real thing I am looking to change is: (1) Better pay by the line; (2) Getting my weekends and holidays back to spend with my family.  I currently work EVERY Saturday.  Don't really mind it, but would like to be able to make plans and perhaps rotating weekends would even be okay. 

I was just wondering if anyone can give me any updated insight into this company. I did a search, but the threads are several months old, and was wondering perhaps if things were any different than those posts read.

I have a lot of experience in transcription, upwards of 16 years, with probably only half of that being in acute care.  Other important things to consider in my search is benefits.  The health insurance at my current company is very expensive. 

Thanks for any input guys! I appreciate it.

I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is.  Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?
