SATISFIED MTs, Please post initials or name of your company here

If you are happy with your job, please post company name or initials here.


Would you please be so generous as to send your company gift to me since you are perfectly satisfied

with our job paying us for NO holidays, use PTO earned for sick, holiday pay, and everything else that may come at us in life!  You better believe those inhouse clerks, etc./sups, leads, execs and on and on get their GIFT and a hefty one at that.  Why are we at-home supposed to be satisfied with nothing, but a low-paying job, low work most of the time, requests from company to flex and flex for THEM, but no flexing when the MT needs off.


Yes, I am thankful for a job, and that is exactly what it is . . . . a job (almost).  That is if you consider NO paid HOLIDAYS like all other types of companies give.  Yes, these are hard times, but these hard times are hitting the MT harder and harder each and every year!  It does not affect the office support staff, etc., etc., etc.  They are paid for holidays and whether there is work for the MT or not.  We are piecemeal workers only (similar to sweat shop workers).  Yes, I am thankful that I have a paycheck coming home, BUT I have to WORK VERY HARD for every penny that comes home to me in the form of a paycheck -- without any paid breaks or holidays.  The office staff are the lucky ones -- everything paid for them!


AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 


I'm 99% satisfied...
I wish I were making a little more per line, but I get great line counts, never run out of work and have had the same primary account since February. QA is helpful, IC flexibility is great.
Satisfied
DR
satisfied much
love archivus of NC
I don't know of anyone who is satisfied except
for the few that post on here that they are very happy and make great money, but don't tell anyone where to go to make that kind of money. I think it is a big trade secret. All I know is, I can't find it anymore and pay only continues a downward trend. Btw, what is a medical abstractor??
I used them and am very satisfied.

Very satisfied with Medware.
They have been very open and upfront and totally honest, which was a real switch for me. (was working for a very dishonest company)

My supervisor is way cool and he is very appreciative with tons of personality. I have never had a problem with getting time off, he is easy to get along with and flexible.

My experience is that if the system is down for longer than 1 hour you will be paid down time. I have only experienced one down time and that was last week for only 45 minutes.

I have many years of experience and am very happy with the money I am making with Medware, and never have to worry about not receiving my check every other Friday.

Medware is very big on quality and that was the determining factor for me going with them.

The system is easy and I love my account....lots of op notes.
Are you satisfied at Amphion?

Pros/cons of Amphion currently.


Thanks!


Is anyone completely satisfied with their job?

I don't want to be a job hopper, but what is up with these companies??? 


They offer one thing and then completely turn around and do another (only after being employed for a month or so)---- 


You will be completely satisfied and productive on one account and completely out of nowhere they switch on you, throw you on a new account (when they said they wouldn't because they like to see their MTs productive).


I get my Expanders and macros set up ...and BOOM... new account. 


Then there you are learning new account specifics with a bunch of crappy dictators---It feels as if you are starting all over again with a new company.  


Can you ever be really happy?  I am not asking for specific company names here.  I am just wondering since changing jobs 3 times since leaving MQ THIS YEAR if all of the companies are like this.  Maybe I just jinx myself by getting happy and excited and telling people how great this new company is. lol. 


It is not just the switching of the accounts.. it is the IC companies that start out to be 24 hour TAT and then ask you for a schedule after working for a couple of weeks (even when you are getting your required lines in).  Or the companies that even though they are IC and you did give them a schedule expect you to log on any time of the day to work. AGGGHHHH.


I get that this is the business..and I don't want days filled with glorious dictators and simple work (I know that is not possible).  I would just like to be left in ONE PLACE for once with a primary account that doesn't get switched for no reason and get my work back as agreed upon!  Hey throw all of the horrid ESLs you want at me on the account... just leave me be! lol. Seriously.


I just cannot be productive working like this.


I agree..very, very satisfied with my IC position
I cannot complain at all about my IC position. I cannot say that I run out of work either, QA is great and the flexibility is better than I had ever imagined. :)
I agree with satisfied at Deventure below.
I left another company as an IC for an employee status position and was hired by Deventure. No complaints at all. After not having any response to emails, rude responses when I did hear from someone, constantly running out of work and working holidays and weekends with no pay previously, this company is like a breath of fresh air. Everyone is very helpful, friendly and courteous and lots of work. Direct deposit hits the bank every week - even a day early usually. Was only there 1 month and got a small Christmas bonus check.
I'm not sure anyone is "really happy" with them. Satisfied perhaps.
dinky due
I work there and am very satisfied and would recommend it - nm

Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work.  I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Some people are afraid of change so are satisfied

If you say you do better, they'll deny it.  Ssssshh, don't burst their bubble. They get grumpy when you do.


and if you can be satisfied with being treated like a piece of crap
.
The others arent satisfied, they just dont realize
s
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!
x
TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
Good company, with good incentive SM
pay scale, decent health plan for full-timers, lower end for other benefits, well organized and dependable, good platform, good support. Very heavy ESL, medium-sized community medical centers, relatively high SR pay rate because it takes longer overall to clean it up. However--good producers who put in a good workday make quite good money here.
good company
I have been with them for awhile now.  Every one is wonderful and helpful.  I thought it was a 65 character per gross line.  I am going to look back through my notes.  If it is not, I still make a line count that I am happy with and still improving. Pay is always on time.    Have a good day.
Good company
I am happy with them. Good accounts, very rare to run out of work, good managers, decent pay. I feel I have been fairly treated.
D*** good company, go for it
I was off of QA in 3 days, overtime yes, benefits, yes. GO FOR IT, EXCELLENT COMPANY.
GOOD IC COMPANY!
I have found Philbrick Transcription (based out of CT) to be a great company and they only offer IC status.  They have a great starting line rate too!!!  www.philbricktranscription.com
Anyone out there know about Cy Med. Is it a good company sm
How do they pay?  Do they count lines fairly?  Do they have a lot of bad ESL?  They seem like a nicer, kinder MT company even offering time and a half until you get up to speed.  Are they liars who say anything to get you to sign on?  Can you expect them to be true to their word?  Thanks any and all imput!  What a crazy world.  I am going wild trying to find a nice MT company.
Good Company
Wonderful group of people to work with. Been there since August, with a few problems at home, and they have been great. Very high standards for quality.
Good company. sm

One downside is occasionally running low on work, but I have plenty of backups, so I never run out.  Platform gets quirky sometimes, but it doesn't stop me from producing and earning bonuses.  Great people.  Come on over. 


I don't consider them a good company. I

took their test to work for them and I have more than 18 years of experience and they sent me a really insulting letter telling me to apply again in six months when I had more experience.


The audio was horrible and I had no way of slowing the dictation down. 


I asked about what errors I had made and of course they told me to call.  I was not going to do that if they could not even give me an estimate of my mistakes which they could easily have done.  I was not about to play phone tag when I needed to work badly and had to wait till I was finished for the day to take the stupid test.

When you don't have the right equipment, just how are you supposed to take a test.  I know that I got the answers to the written part right and I did the best I could with the dictation which I say was awful, but to insult me like that having 18 years of experience and sending that shoddy letter just infuriated me.  I will never try again, I'll sure bet.


Glad the rest of you got past the front door and liked it.  I thought I sure would have.  Oh, well.  I


 


MDI is a good company
I've been there about 5 months now, and I really like it. Pay is good and always on time - either employee or IC status. Good benefits but family insurance is expensive. Flexible as far as schedule and if you have doctor appointments or whatever. Never had any problem with that. Management has always been more than fair about any issues that I've had. The platform I work on is word based, but they have several different platforms - just depends where they need help and what you're needs are. Work was a little slow in the summer, but there's been plenty lately. I think every company has a slow time in the summer, or at least that's been my experience. I've been with other nationals, and so far, MDI is by far the best one I've worked for. Very happy there.
TT is a good company.
that are a piece of cake.  Some, I hear, are not.  Some of the ESLs in back posts are said to be very hard to understand.
Good company

No. Not a good company
A lot of MTs left this company for a lot of reasons, none good. I liked them at first, but that did not last.
They seem to be a good company (SM)
Not a lot of bad about them on the web.  I interviewed and tested for them, but the recruiter was off line and had computer troubles, never recontacted me, so I went with another company.  It would be a good choice, I think.  They offer a complete surgical position.  At one time, there was a $2,000 sign-on bonus paid out $500 every 3 months.  Might be worth a try, still.  Good luck.
GOOD COMPANY?????
In your own opinion, which company would be the BEST?  I am in desparate need of getting a new job (MAJOR problems with current company).  Don't want to get screwed around, pay decent and decent dictators.  Thanks everyone!!!
RE: Good Company
Give Transcend a try.
GOOD COMPANY
I would suggest trying Transtech.  They are very fair, pay on time, and offer good benefits.  I have been with them for about 6 months and I am very happy.
Good/bad company - sm
Well, not paying on time, paying incorrectly, doing the bait and switch after hiring, terrible platform where you cannot use your Expander and/or no spell checker, wicked QA that picks on you for the least little thing that has no bearing on the record itself, overbearing management, constantly emailing with threats or inconsistent personalities, horrible sound quality and/or horrible dictators that NO ONE can do and make money at, awful tech support, and I'm sure the list goes on and on.....
Good company

I have been working for them a little over a year and have been very happy.  The program is great; it's very easy to use.  Sound quality has been very good.  I was assigned one account when I first started that had very poor sound quality.  I'm not sure if the problem was at their end or mine, but I asked if I could switch accounts and they had no problem with that.


Work is plentiful.  The only time I have run out is around the holidays, but it doesn't last for long, and I think you'll find that's the case with most companies.


There have been many negative postings about them, but I honestly have been quite happy with them.  I think some people are just chronic complainers!  You're always going to find things you don't like no matter where you work.  You just have to decide if the good outweighs the bad.


 


Really sad because at first they were a very good company
  Really disappointed because I have always worked hard for them, had 99% or better QA reviews, and never missed my line counts until now.
good company
This is a good company. They have a lot of benefits and they pay very well.
What does that mean. Is it a good company or not.

Not a good company
I worked for DSG for a while, over a year and things just kept getting worse, for me anyway.  I loved it when I first started out, but the company has definitely changed and not for the better, in my opinion.  Lines were very difficult to get.  When I left they were adding new accounts etc., but I also know many MT left because they were unhappy.  Good luck with whatever you choose.
