LOADS OF WORK - always is
nm
I have loads of work.
I guess it depends on what accounts you're on and what hours you work. I love Oracle, one of the best so far that I have worked for.
my work loads anywhere from the morning to late afternoon...
but I have until sunday until midnight to get it done, so it is not like you are working the entire weekend...depends how fast and motivated you are--LOL
holidays do tend to reduce work loads.
When the account i was given had shortage of work, i asked for and received another account. I almost never have a shortage of work now.
Prior complaints of low work loads and only short reports, so struggle to get lines. How about
s
i work there currently - see message for details.....
pay has been on time. they pay twice a month. pay period runs from 1-15 and 15-30th. never a set day or set amt of days between pay periods so know idea how they figure it but we get a calendar with pay dates. direct deposit is offered. the company itself seems like a great company, very nice people that i have had contact with, communication good, benefits good; cons - still no set acct, i am in a pool and every report i get is in a different state so i can't learn the acct, the other con is we get paid for 65-character line with spaces, specifics says two spaces after period, yet the system changes all the two spaces to one space and just realized recently myself i only get paid for every one space i type and not both, thus, i am getting cheated out of lines and currently searching for a new job. email me if you wish.
I work there - would recommend them; for details - email me - nm

There is a website that has loads of
information on it. It is owned by Harrie and she is great. Cheryl Flanders and others also post their hints or answers to word, word perfect, or other program questions there.
dictation loads
It would be interesting to see from a larger MTSO who has some long-time clients how the dictation load is compared to a few years ago. It could be the economy, but only the MTSOs know for sure if there is less dictation. Otherwise, I'd say it's a combination of overstaffing, individual MTs taking more lines per person because of VR, India, EMR, etc., etc. Probably lots of factors.
I'm not putting off college for a career change any longer. My application for spring semester is already in.
Loads of ESLs on all accounts.
Some good things, some bad, just depends on what you are looking for. Communication is the worst for any company I have ever worked for.
Disregard the above poster because there are loads
of MTs who have come on this board and talked about how they have have had a difficult time getting even less lines than you posted on various platforms. I worked on Meditech for a short period of time and it would take me 10 hours to transcribe 1000 lines and most days I did not make that. I finally got smart and changed jobs, it was either that or the homeless shelter.
Good luck with your interview!! I wish you the best.
Search the archives, there is loads of information
on this company, IF it is the one out of Fort Mill, SC, and none of the information is good, bouncing checks, no pay, etc., etc., etc. 
Platform a bit slow, loads of material to know on each acct, they overhired
for the acct they put me on, so I sit and wait for work to roll in. They gave me a secondary acct, but again I wait. I think some are happy there, I might be if they didn't overhire and they beefed up their platform to move a little quicker.
Details, details.....sm
Minimum is 1000 lpd, Expander is not a problem. Surprisingly, schedule is quite flexible.
We need more details, please. nm

Anyone have any details?
Looking into Probity - anyone have the scoop on them? Their website doesn't say how long they've been in business, or much about their size, platform, benefits, requirements, etc. Does anyone actually work there or are they brand new?
E-me if you want details, MT *or* QA. nm
.
I don't know the details...
I just was told the contract expired and wasn't renewed...for what reasons I will never know. Total bummer man.
details on
*new* insurance plan been released yet? It has been months in the making . . .
Details
Of course, individuals will have different experiences. Some find the accounts a breeze and love it there. I found the accounts to be tough, the QA to be extreme and at times inconsistent. I know that it has been said here that the manager is better now, but this was the primary reason for my departure. I could have dealt with the stringent QA and the tough accounts, but nastiness and disrespect I could not handle.
I would suggest that you try them for yourself. The benefits are great and I loved the fact that I could see how much money I earned for each report I typed almost immediately after completing the report.
Even if the manager was not an issue, I do not think that I could have earned a decent living on the account that I was on. Give them a try, maybe you will get a better account and have a better experience.
See msg for details...
I believe full time is considered $900 per pay period (I think there are 2 pp per month). If they pay 8 cpl that is 1125 lines per day for 10 days. That is about standard (many places 1200 lines/day is full time).
They do have set schedules (I think).
You want details? sm
The owner holds your paychecks and you get paid late and then blames it on the postal service. They over hire and you never can make any decent money because there is too much down time. They don't do anything about cherry picking, yet they will b##h about it (I don't cherry pick because if I did, I would be in hog heaven and would not be writing this post). The owner is rude and you can never get feedback from QA even if you beg for it. Their tech support stinks to high heaven! You will never get anyone to answer any questions after they close at 5 p.m. They don't staff around the clock like most companies do.
The platform they use is EMDAT and not a very MT friendly one at that, so your line counts suffer. The sound quality of their dictations is substandard.
Just some concerned advice to anyone who might be thinking of going to work with them just to save a fellow MT tons of grief. I'm glad I found another company. I was with them for some years and put up and sucked it up and kept saying you have to take the good with the bad. My tolerance level is very high, but this has gotten ridiculous!
Any details?
I applied for the Ortho position too. Any details as to why this company is good or bad from former employees would be appreciated.
Why do you regret it? Any details?

Details of my plan
I chose the United PPO plan. If I remember right it has a $250 deductible, a $35 copay, and a 3-tiered drug copay ($10 -$30 depending on the drug). No referral is required for specialists. I'm not sure on the details of the other plans offered, but this is what I have.
Yeah, I'd like more details on this myself. sm
The MTSO sued YOU because THEY stole your time, effort, and talent?? And they WON? Hmmmmmm......I wouldn't be surprised if Robin herself didn't place this post.
Please, no generalities. More details.

I'm too new to know the exact details, but I too
remember all the negative posts and thinking not such nice things about the owner and thinking that is one company I'll never work for. The owner posted several times back then, admitted they had issues and were working on them. I don't know what the specific issues were so I can't say, though they do ask for feedback yearly from each MT and if you have an issue at any time they seem to be very receptive to trying to help resolve it.
What I fear now with the influx of resumes and subsequent hires is that there will again be lots of negative talk. KS is not perfect. I came from a company that seemed to be as perfect as you can get until they started offshoring and then got greedy and offshored more. It came back to bite them in the butt and they lost several accounts and finally went under. I had been with the company for several years so any move was going to take some adjustment.
I think there will probably be lots of MTs who come on board who will also have adjustment issues, whether it be a different platform, more ESLs than they are used to, etc., but I think overall it will be a possible experience based on all the posts I have seen recently about MQ and OSI.
I personally have some issues with KS, nothing major, but then I'm still in adjustment mode, but other than the company above and a small local MTSO I worked for, KS is next in line for the best company I've worked for.
They have a great reputation for radiology accounts and accounts actively seek them out, so someone must be doing something right along the way.
I'm sure there are plenty of details
and things going on that you were not privvy too, but sorry you had a bad experience. If I could ask one favor, it would be that you not bash the company while we are trying to fill positions - especially since your time there was quite a while back and not all the same players are involved.
platform details
Axolotl uses a proprietary transcription application built on top of Lotus Notes and MS Word. It's the same software for all accounts. Most MTs find it productive and easy to use.
Give details, please...nm

The details have been given already. Read the posts
You want more precise specifics, leave an email address. I'm not putting my head on the block with specifics on a public board.
sm for full details from MQ site
Congratulations to Lori Gryttenholm the winner of our Medical Transcriptionist Week Hawaii contest!

Ask for an e-mail confirming the details
of your conversation before you accept the position. Good luck.
It would be great to have details of your experience

I was just offered that PA Hospital job....details....sm
Large teaching hospital, 80% ESL, need experience doing op reports including transplant surgeries, da Vinci Surgical System, etc., lost of neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery experience.
Actually, sounded great for me, love neuro, ortho and in-depth transplants and state-of the art surgical equipment; however, I turned it down due to low line rate, no shift differential, and I make more on the account I have now.
QA is run by DR.
Hours are Sun-Thurs 2nd shift
or Sun-Thurs split shift.
8-9 cpl, depends on how you negotiate that.
I think your supervisor is the hospital supervisor regarding shifts, etc.
I think she said the platform was Chartscript.
Good luck! Not enough pay for me.
Call Vicky for details.
Webmedx does...Email me for details. nm

I would never give details of my own accounts
If this man is asking for details meaning names of your current clients, then he's looking most likely for new clients for himself.
No job is worth losing your own clients. Just be careful out there.
I worked for a hospital and wouldn't care if they called them, but in my opinion just like we have to do our research with the dictators thrown at us, so do the recruiters. JMO. 
Also, their paycheck stubs have no details on them
I never know if I am being paid correctly or not. Why does such a large company have paystubs with no details...no breakdown of deductions either???
Why post a message like this with no details?
Don't remember all the details. Something like you cannot deviate at all...sm
From your hours for 6 months and some other junk before you could be actually considered an employee. Guess they think of it as a long probationary period. We all know things come up, especially if you have kids, elderly parents, etc. It just looked like they left themselves a lot of wiggle room to drop you without notice even if you had been working there 5 months and 29 days. There's quite a list of things you have to agree to, and I don't remember them all. They aren't really unreasonable, just inflexible, and a big CYA thing for them. At least that's what I thought. Gave me a bad feeling. Good luck.
Unless you giving specific details, not
general comments, they cannot know who individuals are.
Whoa, 18 days of PTO? Really? I'd sure like to hear the details on that. nm
nm
What do you mean not loyal to their employees? please give details
I would not want to work for a company that is not loyal, but in what way are they not loyal?
I just submitted an application to them. Can you give details? nm

These constant rah rah replies without details hurt TT's
