I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of work. You will love

Many reasons why there may not be work in QA is because
there are difficult dictators and the MTs are struggling with reports. I feel really lucky that in our system you can actually go in and see how much work is being transcribed by the MT so you do know that work is being done. QA HAS TO BE THERE for when the MT is finished because in more cases than not, the work goes through QA (our clients do not want blanks). It is valuable time not to just the MTSO but to the QA in the respect that those reports have to go to the hospital when QA is done. Luckily, a good MTSO knows that and I work for a good MTSO. We are not overstaffed with QA either, usually one per shift so the workload is on me so yes, if it takes the MT longer to do the reports, sometimes you sit for a while with no work in front of you and the service pays you for that. Believe it or not, that is part of the job and you should be paid for it. Employees have a schedule and I count on that schedule as they count on me. That's my bread and butter and the service's bread and butter also. It does not happen often, but it can and does happen some so it definitely is worth their while to pay that tiny bit it costs them rather than pay penalties.
Do not work for them...here are the reasons why..sm
I worked for them a few years back and at this time, Christmas, three paydays in a row (all direct deposit too) did not come through. They knew about it before it happened, let checks bounce (which they did pay for) but still did not have the courage to tell any employee until they asked about their missing check. Three times in a row at Christmas! Plus, they had horrible supervisors that were so nosey and started trouble between employees all of the time. They had lost several really good accounts too. They are very unprofessional, like you said. Do not waste your time and effort with them.
REASONS to be grateful for MT work
OK, I've posted my share of be-atchy comments about this work and/or certain MTSOs :) but the other day I actually had to get up at 7:00 a.m. to drive 40 minutes for an appointment.
It made me realize how spoiled I am :) doing this work. In general, MTs don't have to:
Spend tons of $ on clothing for work - my favorite work outfit is a long T-shirt or shift.
Spend tons of $ on gas to GET to work.
Navigate the roads from H___; stop and go traffic/ school buses, and crazy people behind the wheel.
TALK to people. when you don't feel like it.
Just some random thoughts...
Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too. I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week. I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.
You use their computer and you can't use it for anything but work-related reasons
Very stupid and very annoying.
Most of the time it is for security reasons. We do work for 4 hospitals sm
and 3 of them want us to take someone off the account immediately when someone gives notice. This is their in-house policy as well with any staff member with access to medical or financial records.
That is one of many reasons why I chose to work at home! No thanks to in-house! Good luck. nm

Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
Great place to work. LOTs of work and (sm)
as the other poster noted, somewhat flexible. Make your lines and they pretty much leave you be. Communication is great, QA is great. The platform is extremely easy. There's plenty of work to go around and then some.
Escription has been out of work. Dictaphone has lots of work.
lots of work
I got bored and tired of MQ not ever having any work, and I have found 2 part time positions that allow me to work whenever I want so long as I can get the required lines within a certain time frame. So far, I have worked for one platform for one month and the other for 1 day and already I am averaging more lph than with MQ. Think DocQScribe stinks maybe? Then add to that the time it takes for that stupid Etime logging baloney. I can't believe it took me this long, but it seems pretty plain to me.
I have lots of work on my
If you don't already have a secondary...ask for one.
Probably everything you said. I have lots of work.
Lots of companies overhire probably because they need the work done and there are always a few MTs who have issues and don't work regularly or don't do their committed lines, so they hire more to make up for it. It is possible they may be offshoring too. You can ask about the company here and if they are offshoring someone may know. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do about either situation.
lots of work?
So which company is it you work for that gives you lots of work?
Lots of work.
Software productive and becoming more so as enhancements are made to the program.
They do have lots of work. That is plus.

yes, there is usually lots of work
once in a while, it does run out but not for very long and it really doesn't happen that often.
Lots of work here
I get e mails once or twice a week from my account work flow coordinator (that are sent out to everyone) saying that the volume has picked up and anyone who wants more lines and more $$ is welcome to sign on.
Amphion has lots of work
I would very much like to talk with you and offer my assistance regarding your concerns of overhiring and lack of work. Something must be amiss and I would like to solve your dilemma yet today. We have lots of work, are still recruiting cream of the crop MTs, and pride ourselves on treating our team members fairly.

Is there always lots of work at Precyse? Do they do
nm
I work for First Choice and have lots of ops.
I am not sure if they are hiring, but you can always check.
Lots of work on my account... but I saw the
intrascript e-mail too. I am sure if you do not have enough work you can go on it. Contact the office.
Lots of work - I have NEVER had this issue
x
Seem to be running out of work lots more...
hopefully just a coincidence???
They do pay on time & have lots of work sm
but I found it difficult to make any money there. They use a Word counter, which is definitely short. Some TATs they have are unreasonable. Because of the way work comes in, your work day could be stretched from 6 in the morning to 9 at night. I like to work with a set schedule, so it was not a good fit for me. They may have different platforms now.
I see lots of mistakes too and I work there
We can look up old reports and I am astounded by some of the mistakes made. Makes me wonder how they even got out of 100% QA. One report for a dictator I knew to be on ASR looked like they didn't even edit it -- it was just a string of words that made no sense.
Have no idea what's going on there, except there is the usual big push for production. Don't know which accounts the Indians are on, but they do have Indian coordinators working the overnight shift; they have given them phony American names, but it is easy to tell they are not from here. I'm getting aggravated with the place but don't want to be a job hopper.
lots of work, on all 3 of my accounts, always will.

Lots of ESLs and not much work. nm
There is lots of work at Transcend!
I've been with Transcend for over 2 years now and have NEVER run out of work. There have been times when work was a little slow, but if you can be a flexible during these instances (usually around the holidays, like all companies in my experience) you will always stay busy. You just have to communicate with your managers and they will bend over backwards to make sure you are working.
Good luck with your training, Passing Through! Please come back and share your success story! There are many of us Happy Transcenders. We just don't get a chance to chat on the forums often because we are busily typing away!
Lots of different work types
.
I work for a company with lots of work,
I work a second/third shift position and I still run out of work. I asked for a secondary account probably 6 weeks ago and haven't received one yet.
You can call the MTSO or your supervisior, but they really don't care, the work is getting done and that is all that really matters.
St. Louis has LOTS of work on most all accounts
x
They have lots O' work depending on the acct.
If you're on an account with terrible sound quality and very heavy ESL, then they have tons of work for you. If the particular account has no problems with the platform, you can bet there won't be work. They advertise all the time because they have tons o' work on certain accounts and they have tons o' turnover in both accounts and MTs.
Always ran out of work despite giving you lots of accounts. nm

Actually there was a slow period, but LOTS of work now - nm

phoenix med com has lots of internet work...
.
Any Extext companies with LOTS of work NOW?
.
There is lots of work today. Plus next week is still
part of the payperiod. There is plenty of time to get your usual check.
Lots of work on radiology accounts
And whew, are my hands tired....but I made 5th tier the first week and the top bonus tier this week, 
Lots of work at Phoenix MedCom,Inc.
Send resume. Tons of work, acute care, doctor accounts.
Transtech in Houston has lots of VR work
You may have the option of working weekdays and rotate weekends, 1 one weekend per month. That is my deal but I have been here a while. Or you can work Sunday through Thursday.
I love Transcend. Lots of work, sm
great communication, flexibility.
Lots of people work PT on the weekends
as a second job, so no, all full time people don't have to work weekends.
There's lots of work and we're asked to help out. No big whoop. nm

FC is a great company, very stable, lots of work. sm
The platform is simple and easy to use. You have a choice of transcribing in Word or WP5.1. My only negative is the sound quality. QA is very helpful and responsive. The people are very, very nice. I'm a bit of a perfectionist but still manage to rack up the lines pretty well. Pay is direct deposit, never late, many times early. On a scale of 1-10, I give this company a 9.
I recommend this company to seasoned MTs.
Oracle Transcription hires ICs. Lots of work right now, too.
I've been working for them for five years.
Lots of work right now, but guaranteed you won't get 9cpl as a base. sm
You CAN get 9cpl if you work nights and/or weekends because of shift differentials, AND if you are a high producer (some production incentive but not a lot), and there is an extra 1/2 cpl for CMT. Years of experience factor in, as well. This is for employee status. I do not know what IC rates are.
You need a second line as you use a Cphone, which she will lend to you. Said she had lots of work.nm
