Hi,

I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again.  Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit? 

Thanks,

MT

before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc. 

I also have not received my cable reimbursement.  Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie. 

and now offering direct deposit.   This is a great company to work for.  It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin.  The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children.   There is plenty of work and you use  Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe.  The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English.   I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not  think of working anywhere else.  Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!

Unless you have worked for all of the nationals out there, how could you possibly know that SoftScript is the worst?  Perhaps in your experience it was the worst.  How many nationals have you worked for? 

Anytime a company changes the way they count lines, complaints end up on this board regarding that company.  As far as stealing lines....I would imagine they changed the way they count their lines and this is not okay with you.  By all means, you have a right to feel that way.

I have worked for SoftScript and as with every company, there are problems but I have also had a lot of positives come from working with SoftScript.  I have been doing transcription for 25 years and in my own personal experience, they are no where near "the worst" to work for.

I think they start QA out at 5 cpl now, but it could be 4 cpl.  They do pay for spaces.  They do not pay for headers.  There is always plenty of work (I have never ran out in nearly a year).  Unfortunately, I do not know anything about their benefits. I know they are currently looking at some better plans.  There is no dental plan as of right now. I know they have medical but unsure of rates.  They have paid holidays.  They do require you to work a schedule which must include 4 hours on on the weekend but also with a schedule you must do X number of lines per day, usually not too hard to reach either.  I like their software as it uses Word.  You can check your line count in Word by dividing characters with spaces to get your line count for each document.  There does seem to be several accounts with heavy ESL, but only 1 or 2 that I have found that I would like to shoot if I had the opportunity.

Hope this helps!

I agree with FelloMT.  It is very rare that I run out of work.  I have NEVER had a late paycheck.  Sometimes there is a lack of communication, but for the most part, I have enjoyed working for them.  I also agree that their platform is very easy to use.  They also try to be accommodating with the accounts that they assign you.

I never quite understood all the negativity about them.  I have been with them for a year and really don't have any complaints.
