I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

I just started this week sm
It took 5 days to receive the equipment and the paperwork. I was looking for it well before then, they DID 2-day FedEx it and it took 4. I live in a very small town where we don't get mail delivery to your house, you get have a box in town and FedEx comes up here 2 or 3 times a week, depending. It sat at the terminal for over 24 hrs before they put on it on a truck to go out. I don't really think it is TT's fault about this because of the situation.
I called them when I didn't get it after 2 days, and then 3 days and I called them the minute it showed up on Friday. The IT guy stays late and I was installed early evening, so it won't have to be before 6, but the training will have to be.
Pick up the phone and tell them you are waiting. Ask them to check the routing through the FedEx website (they gave me the routing number to watch it). As long as you don't go on the attack, they are not going to be upset with you. I wanted and needed to get to work as fast as I could and while it took 10 days, it was entirely WORTH IT.
This is my 2nd full day, I have been released off of QA and I have managed on day 1 to transcribe the company line quota. I am telling you, lines are easy to make, ExText is wonderful for ME to use and the people...I don't think there is a nicer staff of people in this industry!
You'll be happy, so call them and see what can be done. Heaven forbid you sit there while FedEx screws you out of a really good MT job!
Just started this week too.
So far I really like it. I was offered a nice line rate. The platform is easy, but it can be slow to look up samples, but once I get used to the account, I won't need to look up samples as much. The dictators on my account are very easy. I have not run into an ESL or difficult doctor yet. Everyone has been very helpful. I have IM contacts so I have help immediately whenever I need it. IMO waiting a month to get paid is not unusual. You get paid 2 weeks after the pay period ends, which is how I got paid at my in-house jobs. Most companies will require a week or two to process all the payroll, so I don't see how that is a big deal. I currently only have one account that seems pretty busy, but I was told if it ever slows down I can take on more accounts as they have lots of accounts in all different specialties. I also like that they are completely flexible with a very small requirement (only 1800 lines a week). As I said, so far I really like it and I don't see myself going anywhere any time soon. In fact, if I can get my speed up on this account soon, I will most likely be dropping my first company.
I started with them last week
I applied on their website and answered the 50 question test. The recruiter called me the same day and after we talked they sounded really nice. I did some research on this board and then accepted the position. I started last Monday and their software is really easy to learn and I really like my account. The trainer was nice and I also liked the 12 hour window. Very happy so far and I think I found a new home. HTH.
Started this week
I graduated about a month ago, really seemed to hit it just right. Landed a FT job w/a national. So far it has been great--exhausting, info overload, but wonderful! Wanted 2nd shift, got it, not S-Th like I wanted, but that's ok. I applied at every good company I had seen on the chat boards, this is the only one that bit. But they were in my top 3, so I am very grateful. Very nice people so far too. Seems to be plenty of work on my account, FT benes, production bonus.
Oh, and I graduated from MTEC, just to put that out there. ;)
Just started a week ago and so far
everything is going pretty well. Everyone has been really nice and helpful. I really love not being tied to a strict schedule.
I just started this week. (sm)
So far it is everything they said it would be - which is great. No surprises. The account I am on seems really good too.
I started with Amphion last week, and
specifically asked the recruiter if they send work offshore. She said that they considered it at one time, but would absolutely never do it now in light of the lawsuits and the fact that there are no HIPAA requirements outside the US. I believe that she was telling the truth. I was hesitant to try a national again after a one-month disaster with TRS last year, but my experience has been good so far.
mine's started this week nm

One has started, one is this coming week. nm

I just started actually typing last week. sm
When I hired in they asked what size I wanted for MT week. I haven't gotten it yet but probably will this week. I was impressed they even asked and I hadn't even started. They are wonderful to work for.
Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
The person I am talking about started the second week in October for HR but the recruiter has been
with us since late summer.
I am going to dig into this, so thank you for the information. There is too much back and forth going on here to sort through what is true and what is not, so I am going to take some time and take it to my coordinator.
It might seem petty to a lot of you that we are willing to do this, but reputation is important and we have all been working too hard to let things like this happen.
I know that there will be flames here but the truth is that the Keystrokes Management Team has been working very hard to reverse a lot of things that happened in the past in order to make KS the best company in the industry. This takes time.
I do know that there are a lot of happy MTs at KS as we do not have a lot of emplpyee turnover, but I also know that one unhappy person can be like poison. Rather than attacking that person or persons, we are working on the reasons that they are unhappy and working to change that.
If KS was such a bad company, it would not grow as it has. I am not saying that they are perfect, just that they are not as this board portrays.
Another thing is that so many people attack the owner and say that she is unprofessional. You obviously have not met her. She is all business with her employees and customers and actually a fun person to be around as well. I have never met someone who gets as much done as she does and her customers love working with her.
I just think everyone should form their own opinions.
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
I'm not in QA, but I just started working PT for them and they seem great. sm
I have to admit the negative posts below kind of scared me, but ..... I guess we all have to go with our own experiences. So far, everyone has been friendly and helpful and the platform is easy to use, although I think the ShortHand works a bit slow ... we all have our little gripes.
BTDT with TT - started out great, but like others....sm
constantly ran out of work or was given the dredges. When earnings were affected, I said ta-ta and never looked back! I'm happy that it's working for you, but believe me these complaints about this company on this board are VERY legitimate. As has been said many MANY times here, one company does not work for every MT - and there are better ones out there. I know - I found one!
One week down and great so far!
Finished up my first week and everything is going well. I really like that my lead is right there typing beside me. BTW, I have the options set to notify me whenever Keystrokes is mentioned in a post, so as soon as one is posted I know about it and read it. I did this before even accepting the position, just to find out a little more about the company, etc. I mention this because others may also have this feature and that may be why they are very quick to post whenever Keystrokes is mentioned. I also have a radiology notification because I'm interested in what people have to say about radiology.
Sounds great there...I was looking at their website just last week (sm)
don't know if they are hiring though..but can you answer 1 more question? Re weekends: Do you have to work every weekend or maybe 2 weekend days a month? TIA.
Doing great! Made more money in one week at TT than I did in a whole month
at previous job!
Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company
nm
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM
,
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm
x
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)
x
I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.

Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS). I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account. So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com. The management seems to really care and they work with you.
Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
That''s great and I've heard they pay great as well.
I just have heard a lot of adjectives for a few accounts - zinger, killer, impossible, etc., and I sure know I couldn't hack it there. But I'm sure they know what they are getting into when they sign up. 
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm
It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage. Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.
Good luck!
Wow - you all have given me great, great things .. sm
to think about and consider. I know myself well enough that I realize I don't always things through well enough before acting.
I do appreciate everyone's comments - both pro and con. This is exactly why I decided to ask for opinions. Thanks so much for not laughing at me and just saying that a hospital job is always the way to go. I'm pretty sure that I'll apply, and I already feel better prepared. You all are great!
Yep, they get great lines and great QA
yeah I see your point - because all the crap dictations go to everyone else :( Kind of makes steam come out of your ears doesn't it LOL
and they started
you at 9.5 cents per line???
Well let's see, I started my day
and have sat here all day to only have 60 some reports! Sad but true. I have 2 other PT jobs for this very reason. I only stay because when the work is there, the money is good. If it does not pick back up soon, I'm gone!
Just started...
using CS this past week, and it is very, very easy and practical to use. You should love it!
