Michelle never apologized. She only said she was sorry JMO had a bad experience

You were here on MTStars singing the songs of praise, insisting with a passion that the claims of newbie advantage were wrong.  Yet you went to the company forum asking, "what do these posts mean?"  If you were so positive that nothing said was true, why are you asking "what the posts mean" on the company forum? You would have already known!  And on the flip side, if you have to ask what the posts mean because you're not sure, how can you be insisting none of what I said was true??  That's my point.  If you don't know, why are you so certain you're right - and so willing to call me a liar?

You want specifics?  Look how a person below posted that a newbie can get a raise if they show improvement.  Now go to the company website and check for yourself.  Look and see how long it would take a longterm employee of 5 years or more to get a raise and then figure how many raises the newbie gets in that same time period. THEN tell me the company doesn't favor newbies.  Some of us have been here years with NO raise despite meeting all the "review requirements".  As for other details, I'm not going to be as foolish as the poster below who posted her base line rate publicly, and that's the only way I can prove what I was saying.  I make less than the person below and came in with the same test score, more experience, working on more and harder accounts.  But I'm not putting my base line rate on a public board to get fired, or at the very least a reprimand, just for your satisfaction.

But stop calling me a liar, because you don't look all that truthful yourself saying here that it's best job you've ever had and then crying on the company forum exacty how many lines you made per pay period.  Even if you make 10 dollars a line, how can what you stated you produced be the best job you ever had?? Furthermore, if you're so happy, why come here bashing me because my experience at this point isn't as good as yours, and then whine about yours on the company forum? Please don't even try to convince me that you're not stirring the pot.

The line Expander used by Spheris was the least of my worries. I found it extremely easy to merge my own list into theirs. Ask your TL for instructions.

Like most everyone else I had trouble getting my line count. I never got dinged for it, but then I never once qualified for a bonus the whole time I was there - 1 year. I, too, wasted tons of time looking over account specifics. Just when  you get used to one account, they throw in a new one, then you have to second and triple guess everything you do all over again. I finally quit when they threw in another work type with horrible dictators and my line count dropped by half for 2 weeks. I couldn't afford to work for them anymore.

And don't get me started about the freakin' time clock. I hated that thing.

As far as the company is concerned I liked them just fine. Management was fair and I always got along with my TL. I did have one that was witch from hell, but I don't think this is a reflection on the company. It was a personal difference between the two of us that we couldn't work out.

I wish you luck. I wasn't all that successful making many in MT. My income continued to go down each year so I left.

I worked there for a short time recently.  The people who worked there were nice, pay was okay, but I had sound issues with the account I was on.  Nothing I did fixed it, so I would have to guess the problem was at their end.  As a result of this, my line production went down instead of up, which is why I left.  If it weren't for that, I'd still be there.

Good luck to you!

Can you do acute care? How many years of experience? Do you need benefits? 

The only one I know of that lets you work when you want is OTI (aka Oracle). It's wonderful that way. No benefits, though, and must have acute care experience.

This is bad but I'm a little confused with what acute care consists of? I have Radiology experienc in a hopsital setting but I've also typed Oncology, Ophthalmology, Nutrition, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Internal Med, Family Practice and Psychiatry/Psychology reports. I went to school so I have typed ALL kinds of reports, they were just a long time ago.

I'm a fast learner and with a template or an example of an old exam I can figure out what needs to be done. I can send you my resume if you'd like. Just e-mail me.

You can only choose employee status if you are in California.  Their accounts are the absolute worst of the worst, and I mean BAD, BAD, BAD.  They don't do direct deposit unless you are an employee and if you want your check sent overnight, they charge you $30.00.   The pay is decent but no bennies.  I don't know where the other poster got all the information but I have two friends who worked for them and I still do and they don't get any of that stuff.  Terrible company, extremely RUDE QA.  Would never recommend this company to anyone.

I received the test , took it, and mailed it back.  A day later I Emailed to see if they received it.  I was told yes -- great job, plz call me tomorrow to discuss a position.  I called, and she was not in the office.  Message taken for her to call me back -- I have not heard a thing.  ??  -- Not sayin' it's bad....just my experience.
