Not only stay away from the Northeast but the Southeast -the company is a complete disaster, and every office does as it pleases to suit the administrative people, NOT the MT.

MQ offices
you got it---no, all offices are not run the same, some have different line requirements, some offer incentives, bonus's and even give a yearly review with a possibility of a raise--of course, all those things that i just mention do not pertain to my office. we have no incentives, bonus's, and i can;t remember the last time we were given a yearly review. if you wanted a raise you needed to call and ask and then follow up on it and hope that you would get one--i only wish that MQ did run all their offices the same--if you have a choice, go to the Ohio MQ office, my girlfriend is there and they are the best--stay away from the northeast
MQ offices
The MQ office by me was told there is a hiring freeze for office workers, so they are quite concerned about their office.
been through three offices sm
since March! Going to Florida office starting September 1 with payroll being done in Dallas. Currently with Atlanta but was transferred there from Durham NC in March or April. Can't remember. If you are making 9.5 cents a line YEAH! I have been with them since 1983 when they were Transcriptions Limited and doing your job, doing extra, etc. etc. will get you a raise.

I work on four different accounts. They are very large accounts that I have worked on since 1990. I am not sure it would be appropriate to name them on a public board though. Sorry. How long have you worked for MQ?
There are so many MQ offices.... sm
and as far as I can tell from all the posts, each one operates as if it were a separate company. So when you state that you are happy at MQ, isn't it true that you are one of the lucky ones who happens to be at a good MQ office? It's so confusing when an MQ MT says they are happy and encourages others to apply. Wouldn't I be applying to "MQ" and thus end up where they place me? Or does each office hire on their own? And if some offices are better than others, why don't MTs who are so unhappy transfer to a good office? I don't get it.

(Note: I posted this way down below but I figured it would get more attention here on top)

re so many MQ offices
when a MQ emp encourages you to apply, they should give their name & office location to put on your application (under referral). Then they MIGHT be eligible for a ref bonus and you would be hired into that office, hence, would be with a good office. Unhappy people and all those 'why's mentioned are definitely hard to figure.
p.s. i tried to respond under appropriate post but system wouldn't let me.
They have offices in CA and NY, as well....
as India.
What offices have you worked for in MQ and which one are you in now.
:
Allegiant has two offices...
one in Kentucky, one in Florida
local offices
what is the best way in getting starting for working for local doctors? Get business cards made up, show them a resume? I have often thought about this and afraid to take the leap. is this reliable work? I'm sure they can let you go whenever they want but I guess that's the case anywhere. please, any info would help.
nurses in offices
You can get a job as a nurse in a doctor's office. That is M-F, 9-5. You can also get a job as a home health nurse or a nurse at a large business or a school. There are lots of options besides hospitals with their graveyard shifts.
I think nursing is good job security. The job ads in our local paper are really drying up *except* ads for nurses.
Many doctors' offices have something else
Maybe they don't call it transcription or VR, but my doctors use a laptop on a rolling cart that they take from room to room. It's a point and click system, though they may enter vital signs and drug names manually. They tell me that it produces reports so that there is no need for any transcriptionists or editors.
Where I currently work, less than 3% of the reports are standard transcription; everything else is VR.
Which three offices will remain open?
Do you know?
Heartland already closed two offices
in India...they are surely closing down entire transcription business by coming December
Sources saying they were never making any money in transcription business. How will someone make money by sending work overseas and that too not keeping a track of what each individual Transcriptionist or Editor or QA is producing?
heard they are moving offices. NM

Give me the good points on your MQ offices - sm
No flames! Give me the good points on your MQ office that you work for i.e. leave you alone, great platform, no schedule necessary, nice people, easy to learn, nice work, etc.
Thanks!
Can someone tell me if the MQ offices are still running out of work all the time or what is
happening with that please.
or maybe some offices still have poor mgmt & skills

Nearly all the offshore companies have front offices in the U.S. sm
Sometimes their actually hotel rooms. They use international phone numbers and purchase a phone # in the U.S. In point of fact, clients many times don't even know they are dealing with an offshore company. The owner of this website has done extensive reseach and knows who offshores and who doesn't. It isn't that hard to figure out when you start connecting the dots, i.e., visit the website and there is no place for MTs to apply. Almost all U.S. based companies have a place to apply. Notice that all the offices, including those in other states, all have the same address and phone number. And notice if you call that 24/7 phone number you always get a voice mail. There are lots of ways to tell. The offshoring companies are getting more sophisticated about how they work things. And some hospitals are getting more persistent about not contracting with services who are offshore. It's a shill game. Dishonest and deceitful.
I guess this means there are regional offices?
There is an ad in the Job Seeker's board. Cannot tell who exactly placed it.
No regional offices, just two totally different companies sm
MDI in Maryland and there is an MDI in Florida. MDI in Florida is owned by Transcend.
MDI in Maryland is a totally different company - good company as far as I know.
Some people who work in offices have that benefit, but no MT
booooooo
Irony - MQ is closing offices and Keystrokes just built a new one. sm
I was part time with MQ and full time with KS and now will be KS only. I am radiology, make great money and have a great lead. I would recommend them to all MQ MTs that are thinking of leaving.
The email is KeystrokesNow@aol.com. The fax is (630) 729-3177.
We do not have a referral bonus, I am just trying to help everyone that is feeling displaced.
Dont you just love how these offices screw around with your income. It is very annoying and I
sometimes wonder if they get the full implication of what they are doing to our paychecks because they are stupid enough to believe you can do all hospitals exactly the same which of course you cant.
Today is Columbus day, and state offices and post office
is closed. Perhaps some docs took a long weekend. Maybe that is why on this particular Monday the work is trickling in. I am just getting some work now. So maybe it will come in later. Just an idea, about it being a holiday.
I have heard they will have three main offices. Is there a reason Amherst is so short of work. What
is it they are trying to accomplish. They must be losing MTs if there is no work. No the new ASR rate is not out yet. If it goes low you will see an exodus off ASR I guess so that will mean more MTs on the regular work. It will be a big shock for some of them to see what that is like now.
Medware not only sends work offshore, but has offices in Bangalore to train MTs there.nm

Some of the offices were good and some not so good (like MQ). For the most part it was a
The owners were shady characters and they were forced to sale.
