WEBMEDX - I found fairly favorable things about them in the archives..does anyone
know if they still pay by minutes of transcription rather than per line? I saw that in one past post. Would love to hear from anyone either via e-mail or post here if you work for them and are still happy? Thanks.
No. Expect good things, and good things will come

Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

Check the archives - both good and bad. nm

all good if you check the archives
Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too.
You can check the archives, but not much good about them.
They recently changed their name but can't remember what the other name was. They offshore, they've cut pay or restructured the pay system so you can't figure out what you're making, sound quality is not good. I think there is plenty of work because no one stays for long. They've been offering significant bonuses in the past, bu don't know details.
Check the archives. Not good at all.
Totally Indian-based company. All supervisors, QA, and trainers are in India. Very hard to understand. I would avoid them.
There are many good posts in archives
They seem to have a good platform and plenty of work. I just applied myself after looking in the archives and reading the most recent posts.
Search the archives, nothing good. nm
Check the archives. Not very good.
I worked there very briefly about 3 years ago and hated every minute of it. It's an Indian company. Read the archives.
All good things come to an end.
The gun replaced the bow and arrow. We all know what happened to those feckless fellows who refused to upgrade their hardware.
The automobile replaced the horse and buggy, the farrier and the buggy companies had to specialize or find a new trade.
Technology is a fact of life.
Maybe transcriptionists will be phased out, but life truly does go on, even if you and a few of your friends decide to dig in your heels and refuse to accept it. The awful truth of the matter is that you may eventually be replaced. It's time to think about preparing for the future rather than perseverating on the past.
Nothing but good things to say about them....
I was with them for a short time. I saw their add and considered sending my resume. They are very family oriented and the platform was fantastic. I love the owner's Dani/Scott. I can't say anything bad about them...I wish that I was still there but found something more in my field of psyche...
Good things come out of bad....
situations. You had reasons to do what you did, and DH sounds like he was taken by surprise that you did do what you did. It's time to regroup and refocus, and discuss further with DH why what happened ...happened. It's not the end of the world - a new door of opportunity has been opened up for you.
all OSI info is old in archives. Anything recent good/bad?
mostly -- are the lines an absolute bear to get; i.e., will I have to work 12 hours a day to get 1000 lines? Or do they seem fairly fair won?
Thanks
I can't seem to access the archives. Is this a good company?
D&L talks a good game. Am frustrated running out of work with Medquist yet again! Does anyone know if D&L is a decent company to work for?
Read the archives. Many posts, none good. nm
Tons of stuff in archives, nothing good. If you
open your post near the bottom in blue is something about related posts. Click on it and you'll find lots of stuff to start.
but this is why it's better to post the good things
Take cpl to email. You can post great things about a company, but once you post how much you make (no matter what company), you are going to upset a lot of people who are inevitably making less than you do. If you must, post a pay range because you can't say they pay 10 cpl period, because obviously they don't.
I read some good things about DSG.
They have a job opening listed on the job seekers board.
Mostly good things about Axolotl
I checked the archives on this company just a week or so ago and was pleased to find pretty much only good things folks had to say about Axolotl.
Not true. Good things have been said. sm
Actually only one person said anything negative and that was that they didn't pay, but others who have and are working for them countered that and said they do indeed pay.
I started with them last week and am happy so far. Haven't worked a full pay period so can't say for sure on the pay/don't pay issue.
They have an office in Texas and an office in India. If you don't like/want to work for a company that works with India also then it isn't for you, otherwise it has been good for me so far. The account I am on is pretty easy and I am being very productive. It is editing and transcription, from what I've seen about 1/3 standard transcription and 2/3 editing VR files.
Hope this helps.
Well, that explains a lot of things - none of them good.
I have heard good things - sm
I even spoke to the owner on the phone - SUPER nice. I couldn't take the position right now due to personal reasons but would definitely go with them in the future if need be. A current employee likes it there that I spoke to.
Lots of good things below about
I just applied and hope to hear from them, the archives and the posts below from some of their MTs looks good.
I heard good things about them, but I have to
I really do not like that Oak site, I have tested through that before and lots of hoops to jump through... I don't know if I have the time to take it, the company would have to be really really worth it for me to take the time to test with that software. Just my 2c.
I've seen mostly good things on here...
I just signed on with them and am excited to get started. :D
search archives, couple good, mostly negative

Yep. Like other poster said, lots in the archives. 99+% good feedback
on this company. Check the archives.
I have heard only good things about MDI-FL and have talked to the sm
owners myself. They seem to be very nice people who care about their transcriptionists. They are MTs themselves, something that helps in this business.
I know they have grown this past year. They probably found the two or three MTs that move from company to company, always finding fault and always bashing the one they quit or were terminated from. It is just MDI-FL's turn to be bashed. I am sure that most people reading this board take it all with a grain of salt.
If you love the company you work for - stay with them. Obviously you found a great fit. I am fortunate enough to have MTs like love working for us (not saying who I am as I promised my staff I would stay away from here) and fortunate enough to have applicants that don't take the bashing on these boards as gospel.
I've heard good things about both...sm
but which one pays better? I'm curious to know too as I thought about applying for eMTS. Let us know. TIA
agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD
x
I've head a lot of good things...sm
About Axolotl. Do you happen to have any info. on which specialties they are hiring for? I haven't seen any job ads for them.
I also heard something about them not paying for spaces. Can you comment on that?
Thank you!
I've heard good things about MDI.
Sorry, I'm not part time so that's all I can offer. Felt I should write something as poster below didn't seem to realize this company board is for asking and discussing companies.
Thats great. I was hoping for good things
Which accounts are you working? Do you like them? Are you making alot of money? Does Hils pay on time, every time?
Thanks
Heard good things about Landmark, so went sm
to their website. It states you must work both Saturday and Sunday. I might have read it wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it said.
I would love a M-F job and wouldn't mind working one weekend day, but not both.

Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
What kind of changes? I am looking to apply there and have heard good things. I don't want
to go in blind, but all the postings are so vague. Can you give me an example so I can decide for myself?
Your company might stink, but the ExText is one of the best things out there! Good

I cannot say enough good things about Keystroke, not just one month but years
I remember when they were having growing pains and I was with another company and saw them on this board. Lee even got on to defend her company. At least she cared and nothing but good things have happened to this company. She still cares. Recently complaints were of running out of work and needing secondaries, and high insurance. She contacted all MTs and has been working on and from what I understand is correcting all that. She is a hands on owner and appears to deeply care for the Transcriptionist even though she cannot see our faces.
All of my posting is from hands on experiences and if for 2 years I can say this is where I want to retire after all the other companies I have had to go through, I am only trying to help and not post pie in the sky hoopla to rope anyone in. This is a down to earth, straight shooting company that I am sure is in it for profit but deeply cares for the transcriptionists who work for her and not make that profit while we eat 69 cent pot pies because our pay checks are so crummy. it takes time even for a good transcriptionists to get familiar with a new account but if the dictation is fairly distributed (I mean first in, first out, unless other arrangements are made between you and the company) then there is hope and a chance to make a living. I don't think it is fair to complete with your team leaders for dictation because they will always win and you will be left with what they do not want as they have dictation goals too with some nationals along with supposedly helping you. That is my 2 cents.
Do you mean Axolotl? If so, I've heard many good things about them. nm

I have heard good things about New England in the past
don't know if that has changed. I would also throw in a vote for TransTech. After cycling through several other companies, I have finally found a home with Transtech and I am very happy there.
What a shame, I had always heard good things about QT Medical. (sm)
I hope they had been kind enough to forewarn their employees or at least provide severance pay. Good luck to all their people. Many people hiring hope you all find a good home quickly.
Seems to be good and bad in the archives. Rude & running out of work to very professional, great
s
I have heard really bad things from QA about our overflow that goes to Amherst. Not good quality and
clients complaining because the MTs that are getting the work are making mistakes and not reading the client profile. Good way to lose accounts.
lots of good technical things, but they outsource overseas
and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.
if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.
my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.
I have heard nothing but good things about Webmedx, but no personal experience NM

The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

go through Archives
Yes they have paid MTs with bounced checks with every worthless excuse under the sun on several occasions among a multitude of other unacceptable business practices. Please do a search in the archives.
Archives so old
Does anyone know why all the posts are so old whenever I want to research a company in the archives? Almost all of them are from 2004 and very few from 2005. If they were posted in 2005, then they are usually many months old. Also why aren't they posted in chronological order with newest ones first? Please help me understand this. Thanks.
