You may not be old enough to remember Kelly girls. They used to be strictly secretarial, but do all branches of temporary work and job placement now. It may be a temp or temp-to-hire position through them, or then I could be totally wrong.

I worked for All Type a few years ago on a temporary
basis helping them to clean up backlog. Gerry Kelly is a great person to work for, the work was excellent, and pay was correct and on time. Would recommend them.
company going to service company or India?
That is a hard thing to be cut back after you are used to that position. We have a couple of hospitals near here who have turned over all of their work to a Service Company, and one eliminated their department and turned over to India. I am afraid that the service company may be taking over our work also. Understand the others kept same pay, but lost most benefits. Anyone else have this happen to them?
The name of the company is D&L Typing Service
Their web address is www.medicalreport.com
Medical Transcription Service Owner and TTS is a company out of
s
Viva Transcription Company out of California. Does anyone work for this service. If so,
would you be willing to share what they pay?
If you want to use them as a temporary
place to work, they would be okay until you find something better. But is not a place you want to stay. In one article I read that the CEO wants to increase offshoring this year by a certain percentage.
Overall, I found it to be a terrible place to work.
If you can hold out until you find something better, I think you would be better off.
When I first started it was great. After that they show their true colors. I thought at first I got lucky. I don't think that now.
Good luck to you.
Actually, it's Kelley, not Kelly
..
I'm not Kelly, but I e-mailed you
 Hope you don't mind - I have some TT questions or just some ramblings about MQ...
Kelly Fast
Has anyone heard of this company?
Try temporary work...
 I am sorry to hear that. I know what you mean. Maybe it's time to register at a local employment agency for some temporary work involving typing, etc. Have you tried that?

Sometimes you can get temporary insurance

I'm with you. I'm willing to take a temporary dip in pay while learning, but MQ better leave

Kelly, which account are you applying for??
If you are applying for ortho using Emdat. There is LOTS of work. Im not sure what account the person who talks about cherrypicking works on, but there has been tons of work lately. Again, not sure what account she is talking about with the bad dictators because ALL of the ortho emdat docs are pretty darn easy compared to other nationals. The pay isn't the greatest, but I would rather type easier accounts for less pay then ESLs for 1-2 cpl more. I really enjoy working for them. Hope this helps!!
The owner of TTS is Linda Kelly

To Kelly who sent me an e-mail about TransTech
I have been at Transtech for about a year and a half and I can honestly say that it is the best job I have had in this industry. Since I worked on Extext in the past the only thing I had to learn were dictators - not bad at all, and account specifics which were very easy, only a couple pages long, very concise and easy to understand. My account specifics at MedQuist were so long and confusing and full of redundant things. Don't worry about learning new things, it is so worth it especially since you have some Extext experience. It will come back to you because it is such an easy platform to use. Management has been great. My little boy has a birth defect and sometimes I have disrupted and crazy days but they are very understanding.
Go for it, Kelly, I promise you will agree that it is worth the effort!!
hope you have filed for temporary
alimony and support, even TX has temporary alimony. good luck.
Not even close. They only have temporary work right now. nm

Kelly, try posting your question with the
Names of the companies in the Subject line, that way people will know without opening your message what type of information you are looking for. Then only people who know anything about those companies will respond.
There are archives that you can check, too, to find past comments and discussions.
I'm sorry I can't help you with your actual question (MD-IT or Meridian), but hopefully this information will help you get the information you do need.
Good luck (and don't let the trolls get you down! ;-)
Does anyone know of any places that provide temporary relief sm
funds for MTs experiencing a short-term rough time? The only one I know of was on another board that you have to pay to be a member of now, so I have no access there anymore.
Daughter of a friend stole my billfold and used my ATM card to withdraw $500 (thank goodness, that was the limit). Now, not only am I overdrawn, but with all of the check charges, my rent check is going to bounce. I should be more than okay by my next check in a couple of weeks, but that seems light years away. My friend denies that it was her daughter, but it is the only person who could have done it ... so there goes the friendship, I guess.
Thanks.
Anybody working for Kelly Co. Transcription out of Missouri??
She had an ad on Job Seeker's board for a cardiology MT....
lol, no I am not referring to Kelly Temp Services....
I know who you are referring to...the temporary employment agency co. The Kelly Co. I am referring to is a small MTSO in MO.
I've been with the company almost 10 years. I know the truth. Hawaii was a company-paid vacation.
.
About 6 years ago this company did the same SM
stuff with the pay (and for a period of time didn't pay anyone) and MM from the paid site had to intervene.
Me too. About 25 years ago the company I
worked for (not MT) went to ADP. The process is probably different now, but I had to fill out paperwork to submit every week that they then entered. My paperwork always balanced, their paperwork never balanced - well it did one time and they sent me a know saying that my information didn't balance. I had to go through all the paperwork again every week, where again it all balanced, and then I had to make sure the checks were right every week. Took me twice as long to do payroll by using ADP as it did doing it all by hand.
25+ years and this is the best company ever!!!
Highly recommend applying!!
There is so much wrong with that company that 100 years
wouldn't fix it.
The company I work for NEVER gives PTO, even after 5 years. I would be willing sm
to wait a year to get it. Right now, I hate taking a day off at all because I am paycheck to paycheck and need to work to make money. If I had PTO, I would not feel guilty taking a day off here and there or even a short vacation.
A few years ago my secondary went to another company and (sm)
evidently some of the office people as well, they in turn gave the new company the names and phone numbers of us who had worked the account and the new company actually called many of us to solicit us as employees. I felt it would have been okay for me to switch, since I had had no control over the account coming or going, but I didn't feel it was right for some of the higher ups to be involved in soliciting us for the new company. If anyone was in the wrong, they were. They shouldn't have shared records and personnel information like that from one company to the other IMO.
Good company for me for last 2 years.
Lots of work. Good pay rate. Management/team leads are accessible. Good feedback. Get paid on time.
Have worked with his company for many years (sm)
The owner is a gem and a very caring person. Pay is always on time, 15th and 30th.
I have worked for the company seven years now
and love the job! The owner works directly with you until you are on your own typing the work, and you have communication with all transcriptionists whenever you need help with something. I never have to wonder if I will get paid, as the check is always sitting in my mailbox within three days after the pay date. There are only a handful of people that work for this company, so it is one of those dream jobs that you never want to let go of after you have it! I have read all of the negative posts regarding this position, and the people who wrote the comments obviously do not know what they are talking about, yet they still seem to feel free in sharing their negative views. What's up with that? It makes me very angry to see that this company is continuously being bashed each time the help-wanted ad is posted, but I guess that type of thing is to be expected from those that know they are not qualified to do the job. Some people are obviously quick to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to bad-mouthing companies after they have tested poorly or are told the work has been given to someone else. If you are qualified for the job, it is one of the best ones out there, so use your own judgement when it comes to applying for work. Otherwise, you might just miss out on one of those dream jobs!
I envy you. 5 years ago at my company I would have said the same thing
Now they are using such unfriendly software, can't fix any of the problems, it seems, and I'm seriously thinking of moving on. The owner hires her friends, and I really don't think anyone is qualified. JMO, of course.
TransTech is the best company I have ever worked for. I have been here two years
and can't say enough good about them. I know that they are owned by some former L&H people. They are adding new accounts like crazy and are always hiring.
I've been there for 3 years - yes, good company
xx
Worked for them a few years ago. Not a bad company. You could do worse. -nm

Established company, started six years ago. They have
not grown at all through acquisition but rather just plain old fashsioned good business.
I have worked for this company for years without problems!!
For those of you that are looking for a good company to work for, this is it. I have not had any problems with Transnet or ExText. For the account I am working on, there are very few ESL dictators and lines are very easy to come by. Regarding Word 2000 or 2002, that is the requirement of the clinic that River City is working on, NOT the requirement of River City. So it would be the clinic you are referring to when you are saying archaic and out of date with their technology. River City has no control over what type of software the clinic uses but only requires that the transcriptionists use what the clinic uses. I would rather work for a company that is good and stable where I can really feel like I am part of a team rather than just some gal out that chalking up lines on some unknown dictation system. Yes, the pay is a little less than the nationals but most dictators on the account I am on use quite a few normals and lines are quick. I would recommend this company over and over to someone that just loves what they do.
I just left a company after 10 years, making only

I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm

I've been there a few years. I think it's a good company.
Although I feel that ALL MT pay is far too low, Acusis pays better than most. Several accounts are teaching hospitals, some regular hospitals, and some clinics. Most of the time they have plenty of work, except right after the Holidays.
I find the management to be VERY nice to work with - a welcome change from my old situation, which was horrible. Excellent techs, too. The SoftScript platform they use works well. Sound quality is good. If you email a supervisor or other person there, I've found they respond in a timely manner.
The pay varies based on the account; more for harder ones, less for easy ones. They ask for feedback from MTs, and are appreciative to get it.
Anyway, judging by what I read on this board about other companies, I think one reason you don't hear much about Acusis is that most people that work for them are happy with them.
You can do a good job and despise the company. I was at MQ for 10 years.
I eventually deservedly despised them, but I did a great job. Otherwise, I would have heard about it. I'm at the Web now, and I agree with those that say they are getting to be just like MQ before MQ imploded and was sold. I don't despise Webmedx, but I don't love them, either. I don't think you can completely trust any of the nationals.
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for. There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well. They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance. Am I getting rich off this? No. Am I paid reasonably well? Yes. Would I recommend Transtech? Absolutely!
Great company... no complaints.. three years and counting....
I just love it. If anyone has any questions, please e-mail me. This is a great place, and as I said many times before - I found a home.
Bravo! Well, said Anna. TT is the BEST company in my 17 years of MTing.
Thank you for standing up for them!
I have worked there for a few years now. Not a lousy company but a very good one. sm
Perhaps you did not meet their standards or perhaps they did not meet yours, but there is no reason for you to be on here bashing those of us that love working for KS. If you have specifics, please share. I will:
Good pay, on time every time.
Good account with plenty of work.
Good benefits.
Managers that are human and know that the employees are too.
Owners who care about the company and employees. They are involved but less and less with employees as they grow. Instead, they have hired managers that are great so that they can concentrate on sales and customers.
Growing company with no lost accounts, which is more than most can say.
Opportunity for advancement.
IT helpful and caring, especially since the major change in that area a few months ago.
I love my job and I'm not in Illinois either; I'm in Florida.
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
My company lost the account I had worked on for 5 years. Webmedx got the
account so I followed it. I have interviewed with about a dozen companies the last year and out of all of them the only ones I considered were Keystrokes and Webmedx.
I left MQ after years and went with a highly rate company on this board (sm)
my account has dried up and I am constantly out of work now...same with backup account. I like the company I'm with and don't want to leave but I HAVE to have a steady account. I realize there are slow times of the year but on this account they have overhired and now it's low a lot of the time.
I'm at Webmedx after 10+ years at MQ. Good company. Plenty of work. SM
Pay is direct deposit and on time. You have a 12-hour window and 35 hours is considered full-time. I cleared QA review in less than a day, and they leave me alone to do my job. Benefits are affordable. I don't need the insurance, but I understand it's pretty good. Don't get much PTO the 1st year, 3 days. If you know you will need to be off ANY time in the first 6 months or so, tell the recruiter. Line rate is fair and you can negotiate. They have a bonus/incentive plan that allows you to earn good money. Seems like no place is great these days, but they are probably as good as it gets. Feel free to E-mail me if I can help you out.
8+ years for me (Rodeer days pre-Wbmx merger) and best COMPANY EVER. NM

It was a great company before othey sold out to Medquist years back.
Now it's crap.
