- Make sure they have enough work - kcm
- They hire you as employee, not IC. 600 lpd is PT. Their QA really lacks in communication. nm - Not my cup of tea

Another one I passed through a few years ago. Didn't suit me. They are/used to be big offshorers.

DTS America?

I worked for them years ago. I only stayed 30 days because they had no work. They insisted on training in-house with them for a week, and then when I got home I ran out of work every day. They only had one hospital account - the rest were doctors' offices. This was about 6-7 yrs ago. Ask lots of questions You know how productive you are and how much work you need. Trust your instincts. One hospital account is not enough for a good MT. I can't imagine anyone is insisting on in-house training in this day and age, but any good MT should be able to connect herself and learn the technical aspects of an account remotely in, like...an hour.

I am looking for info on DTS America such as pay, plenty of work, benefits and how they treat you. I did see the one post about outsourcing to India, is this still their practice?

thanks,

Have you ever seen in America...
Have you seen how chickens, cows and pigs are treated as livestock in our country? Or how they are killed before being served up as Grade A American? Ever seen live chickens dunked into boiling water to scald their feathers off? It's not a pretty picture, no matter what animal or country!

DTS America
Anyone currently working there that I can chat with, if so please email me. Thanks

DTS of America

RUN, FOREST!!!

When I first started, they were great. When mgnt changed, it became the almighty $$. I and several of my MT friends lost our jobs b/c they outsourced the work to India, lied about it, said there was no work, when there was work. One account they still have, that I worked on was Vanderbilt University Hospital, which is a HUGE teaching hospital and is the trauma center. How can Vandy be out of work? It is a a joke that they're named DTS OF AMERICA when work is outsourced overseas. You can e-mail me privately if you wish.

Signed,

fast fingers

I worked for DTS America for about a year. They changed the way they count lines, which caused the pay to drop about 20%. We were no longer able to keep track of our own lines, as they did not provide the software for that. I worked on trauma with quality of 98.5 or better. Eventually, I was making less than $6 per hour. They were constantly running out of work (read giving it to India). They required us to check the queue for work every 15 minutes, sometimes all day long! My state government lodged a complaint, and I was fired.

DTS America
Does anyone have any info on DTS America?

DTS America
Does anyone have any current information about DTS America QA positions? Do they have plenty of work? Do they pay on time? Are their QA positions paid hourly or by the line? I know they outsource. Do they hire IC or employee? Thanks in advance for any information.

DTS America
Can anyone give me information regarding DTS America? Do they pay on time? Do they have plenty of work? Do they offer flexible scheduling? I would appreciate any information, good or bad.

Does anyone have any information on DTS America? Thanks in advance...

DTS America SM
Offers medical effective first of the month following hire, which in my case was three days, as i started on the 28th of the month.

I am not sure if they are hiring currently, but so far I love the company, and the accounts are not too difficult to learn at all

DTS America
I currently work for DTS America and for the most part they are a good company to work for. The only gripe I have is we still receive our checks by snail mail (which for me means another 3-4 days wait for my check) and the work volume is currently lower than normal, but that happens with any company at times.

DTS America
Looking for current info regarding DTS America. I searched archives but most of the info is old. Pros and cons please. What platform do they use. Thank you.

DTS America
I have a friend who has worked there a year and is very happy- makes good money. She is always trying to get me to come to work for them, but I only have dial-up.

DTS America....sm

Health insurance carrier? Single premium amount? Deductible? Pay tier?

DTS of America
I do, email if you want, terrible company

DTS America
Thanks Susie, I was talking about the one outside of Nashville, TN. I guess that is the one in Brentwood. Wow, they laid off that many people. That is not good. Never a good sign. Thanks!!

DTS America
Is anyone out there familiar with DTS America? What can you tell me about it?

DTS America

Hi. I have read previous posts regarding DTS America and am thinking of applying with them for a part-time position. I am trying to sort out if they actually have a tie with or outsource to India or the Phillipines. I see in previous posts that they are 100% American owned, but I do not see anywhere that actually states where their work is done. Would appreciate any info on this company from MTs currently working there. Thanks in advance.

DTS AMERICA
Anyone have current info on this compay? Based out of Tennessee according to their website. Thanks !!

DTS America
I work there too. There is no work left anymore. They totally over hired. You have to be on your computer almost 24 hours a day to make any kind of living at all now. By the way, that different lady is gone now.

Thanks for the Input
I wonder if that is common for them. Did you find a good company to work for?

Thanks for the input

Isn't it funny that they are advertising on MTjobs that you get one hospital account that will be your own. Doesn't surprise me. I think they do a lot of the "bait and switch" I talked to a recruiter about 6 months ago when they advertised "hospital employee" positions where you are an employee of the hospital, not Diskriter. I applied right away and they called me right away, but the recruiter acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. She was trying to hire me as a Diskriter employee. Finally after I pushed, she admitted that there was only one position open and it had been filled. I guess things haven't changed.

Thanks for the input.

Thank you so much for your input. nm

Any input on....
how reliable they are in terms of work load...consistent amount of work...technical support...pay on time, etc? Thanks

Thank you for all the input!
Thanks for all the great suggestions and feedback. I also thank you for the positive comments as well; the MTs & QAs are actually the ones who are so wonderful, management is just trying to catch up with them. Like many other MT service companies we have made our share of mistakes, and we grateful to those who have allowed us to make up for them.

thanks for the input
It's nice to have someone out there who is nice and willing to give information. Thanks again! We will see what happens in a couple of weeks. Hang in there, you will be able to type that much some day. I usually do between 23,000-25,000 a pay period, lots of years though! You can do it!!

thanks for the input !
I'm looking forward to my training. It's good to hear that you've had a positive experience.

Any input from anyone?
They sound good, look good on paper, have all the things I'm looking for - so what is wrong with them, or is it actually possible that they're a decent company? I'd love any input. Thanks so much.

thank you for your input.

Thank you for your input!

MDI-MD Rad MTs..input please :) (nm)

Would like input!
I am currently working 2 IC positions. One- Medium size well known National, I have been doing for 7 months, easy platform, Op notes only, with a certain line requirement each day, at 10 cpl per 65 characters including spaces, headers and footers. Real easy to get line count. Have to submit a schedule with amount of lines I will be doing. Second position, I started Jan 1, due to running out of work with the 1st IC position. It also pays 10 cpl per 65 characters including spaces- no headers or footers, Ops then ERs in that order. Easy platform, and so far plenty of work, as when there are no Ops then there are plenty of ERs- small MTSO, not national. No line requirement, no specific time-frame to type, weekends is only optional if I want to. Both have direct deposit, the first one is Statutory where they pay 1/2 Social Security. My dilema, I am going to give one up but having trouble deciding which one. I like the small MTSO, as there is good communication, feedback, etc. The Medium National is mediocre in regards to communication. I know.... this should be a no brainer.... right? Although with the first company pays for footers and headers, there have been times when there was no work, and no communication from anyone. Second IC position takes a bit longer to achieve my count with the Ops- I am assuming because of not being paid for footers and headers, on the other hand when I do the ERs, my line count is fantastic. What would you do?

Thanks for the input everyone! I think
I'll hang in there for a while but keep my eyes open for something else too. I'd love to find a mix of acute and clinic work.

Thanks again!

Thanks for all of the input! sm
I am thinking about working for them, but was just unsure if it would be a smart thing to do or not. I have heard mostly great things about the company so far.

Thanks all for the input.
I do not have the option to become an employee. I will be working at home as an IC or statutory.

I do not like the idea of having to take out my own taxes, so I probably will go with the statutory.

Thanks to all for your input.

My input - sm
I worked for them for a year. It was a great experience, I left because I hate using a C-phone. QA was demanding, but not as much as my current position. Everyone is great to work with.

Thanks for you input.
I didn't want to go to work for someone who does not pay.

Thanks for you input.....sm
Their ad says they $.07 to $.08/line, which if I had seen that initially, I wouldn't have even applied. I'm getting so sick of these companies that want so much experience and then don't pay for it! UGH!!!

Thanks for your input...... sm
Can you tell me which account you're on?

any input on JLG

I see they are advertising on the other board -- any recent info? Could not find much in the archieves
