post about your experience there? How long until you met production? Platform? Pay? Team spirit? Dictators? Just any info/opinion would be greatly appreciated. The software has been installed on my computer and I am really ready to get in there and get started. Just waiting for training.

I'm newly hired at EtransPlus. Everything sounds great
I am SO ready and willing to sit and work my hours and get in my lines, because I've been looking for a good, dependable MT job now for quite a while. I have an IC job, but the work isn't there all the time & I've fallen behind in all my bills, including rent - so it's a relief that I found something at this point.

What I'm worried about is if my employ at eTransPlus will end up just like all the other companies I've worked for in the past, lately the past few years, where the work dries up and I'm left looking for MORE work again. I'm SO TIRED of this! I just want to sit and work but can't find reliable, steady work for some reason.

I'm stressed out, poorer than I ever was, and really getting too old for all this.

I guess I'm just venting because I'm so worried that this is my last shot at some kind of steady work, and if it doesn't work out as far as work flow, I'm really up the creek, seriously. Too stressed out.

To ex eTransPlus employees, what made you quit? Did you have enough work?
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.

I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

any current into on CardioScribes?
Thanks for any input
For those who recently started at Cardioscribes...
How is it going so far?  I see they have another ad up and was wondering what you all thought about your experience with them.   
Any of the new Cardioscribes new hires care to say how
they are doing? Have any of you run into problems?
I was hired by my current employer over
the phone on the first interview, the day I sent my resume in; no tests or anything; and there was no way they checked my references before the call (I got a call 30 min. after emailing them). I never heard from anyone whether they had or not. I wouldn't worry about it.
I was hired by my current employer without
a test. I applied, was called within 30 min. and hired on the spot with a raise to what I was making at the Q. You don't always have to test.
I started about 10 days after being hired
But I had to wait for them to ship me the equipment and get my DSL installed.  I think they always start you out on a Monday.  Welcome! 
Why not ask current employees if they
can type on ALL the platforms, or if they would be willing to train on them before placing an ad? Very typical for MDI. I'm sure a lot of MTs ask for more work, given account information only to find there is no work on there as well! This company just never ceases to amaze me!
Current MDI-MD employees - sm

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am curious as to what type of LD service everyone is using (and have been using long enough to know that they aren't going to get shut down!)  Mine (Verizon Freedom) is not going to work for me anymore.  Other than this, I love MDI, but I may need to look for employment elsewhere because of this problem. 


 


 


This is for current SPI employees
We have to fill out all new paperwork, job application, withholding forms, an employment agreement, and a binding arbitration agreement and waiver of jury trial (scary-basically stating we won't sue them). I think this was for all the Cymeders that SPI took in.
Current employees please
I would appreciate just posts from people who are currently working for this company.  How is your work load?  Do they overhire?  Are you getting enough work to make the incentives on the incentive tier?  Pay on time and biweekly?  Are you spending a lot of time in demographics before transcribing reports with the platform?  Thank you!!
Current OSI employees

Hi.  I was wondering if you could please tell me a little bit about OSI.  I couldn't find any posts from this year, just from years past.


What is the current pay?  How are the accounts?  What platform do you use?  Overall negative or positive?


Thanks for any information that you can provide.


I started 3 days after being hired by Keystrokes and have been there since
June. I love my account and have no complaints.
I know of the 20+ employees that were there when I started are still there.

This is how I know we have employees with longevity.


I don't have to SHUT IT.  Axolotl has been great to me and other MTs.  Just because you have PERSONAL issues with someone, doesn't make it so for everyone.  We are supposed to be professionals and not high school kids. 


I have had longevity with 3 companies throughout my transcription career and outsourcing was the only reason I lost my job. 


I was hired for acute care
The account I am going to be on is acute care. They tell me there is a ton of work on this account, I hope so! I got to pick my favorite type of reports (I chose op notes) and they will be first in my pool, when they are all done, then other basic 4 reports will be routed to me.
I didn't realize MDI hired employees --

What type of benefits are you receiving, i.e insurance, PTO, 401K?  Is there any flexibility in your shift?  Are you being paid downtime or do you have to flex according to the work flow?


Sorry to be so nosy, but I didn't realize MDI hired employees.


Current Transcend Employees
Would you refer a friend to Transcend at this point in time as one of the best to work for as far as nationals go?  Why or why not?
Current employees of Diskriter

 


Can people who currently work for Diskriter email me?  I was offered a position there yesterday and want to talk to someone who is there now and can offer some insight on this.  Thanks in advance.


Current Diskriter employees

 


I am looking to chat with people who currently work at Diskriter.  I have seen a lot about this company good and bad and want to talk with someone who works there at the present time. 


For current Medware employees...sm
I am thinking about going back to MW, just because their benefits are so hard to beat, but how has work flow been on the Dictaphone side?  Are there still a lot of changes as far as leads and such?  When I left things were rather up in the air with several people leaving as fast as they could.  Thanks.
any previous or current MRC-MD employees here? sm

Can you give my any pros or cons? Is platform productive? Plenty of work? Alot of ESLs? Are they nice people to work for? thanks


Any current MedWare employees?
I have seen some bad press but am curious about how the cmopany REALLY is.  Thanks.
Are there any current ATSI employees out there?..
If so, please give me the scoop. How are the benefits? Is the pay on time? How about supers? Particularly radiology. Thanks a bunch.
IntelliType...current employees
Would any current employees please tell me how they like working for IntelliType.  I did talk to the recruiter about a job but it seems to me as though their pay rate for IC status is a bit low.  What do you think about this?  Do you feel you are able to earn a good living with them.  This is for their ad regarding hematology/oncology.  Do they have enough work?  Platform good/bad, etc.  Please let me know if you make a decent living.  This is very important to me.  Thanks so much for your help.
Are there any current Diskriter Employees here?
I would like to hear from anyone currently working for Diskriter. I am not interested in hearing from former employees at this time as I have read the archives, which is why I would like to hear opinions from current employees or recent new hires only. Thanks!
What - no current employees at Zylomed??? (sm)
If you're currently working for Zylomed please take a few minutes to update all of us on what it's like now. I would hate to have to rely on two to three year old archived messages when making a decision about working for them. Certainly I and other MT's would prefer to make an informed and well researched decision. Please help us do so!
Any current or former USA Medical employees out there? sm

I saw their post on the Job Seekers board. Can anyone tell me about them, good or bad? What platform do they use? Are they decent people to work for? Please feel free to privately email me if you wish.


Thanks!


Current Transcend employees - how about (sm)

their platform?  Is it anything like DocQScribe or is it like Dictaphone ExText? 


Also, I understand there are schedules but is there any flexibility? Do they work with you if you need to change times for unexpected events, etc.? 


Is the work pretty constant?  I know it fluctuates greatly this time of year, but am speaking generally. 


Any other info appreciated.  E-mail if you wish. 



TIA


Any current Spheris employees here?

1.  Does Spheris have speech-recognition or editing work? 


2.  Can you do just SR or is it a mix of MT and SR? 


3.  Do they pay flat rates for SR (what range, please) or a percentage of your MT?


Thanks


Any Current MedScribe employees?

Positives on Medscribe?


Current MDI employees see message

Hi, anyone working MDI only full time and feel they get good income and not work a second job?  Are you able to get the lines you commit without feeling the need for a second job?  Just curious as I want to be able to work full time for one company and not two.


Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee.  How is the work and are they truly paying on time?  Do they have direct deposit?  Thanks!
Question for current TT employees....sm
Just wondering how many of you did NOT respond to the email telling us we need to do VR?  Or did respond stating you did not want to do VR?  I said I was not interested in it and now am worried about losing my job, not to mention the weeks of no work.
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about
their proprietary software and how it is to work with?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about...
In response to Dana, my supervisor doesn't answer ANY e-mail I send her so not sure how flexibility would work in that regard. My accounts with SR are absolutely awful; make changes pretty much throughout the entire report. It is nice to hear, though, that someone actually does well with this company. I have tried to find positives and I have yet to find one thing I can say I like about this company. It is a job, though, until I can find better....
Current Zylomed employees

Looking at applying with this company.  Not too much recent in the archives.  Can anyone tell me what they're like to work for? 


Offshore?  True IC (set your line amount in 24 hours)?  Flexible employee schedule?


Pay on time?  Good pay rate?


Comments on the platform?  Work available?


Thanks for any input!


No this is not true. I got hired in December and started 3 days later. sm
I am glad I made the move.
Call them. Something is not right. I was hired a month ago and started 2 weeks ago. sm
Call Laura or Becky in the office. They are both in tomorrow.
They are well aware there is no work and that they have over hired..they don't care....sm
as long as backlog is 0 they are happy.  Good luck to you.  I guess one more person couldn't make it any worse than it already is, but I hope you don't have a family to feed. 
Yes...they do care about their employees...
and they also make sure everyone has enough work before they hire new people, which I think is great...
Current employees can you give me info? sm
Considering sending WebMedX my resume.  How are they?  Pros, cons, no bashers please.
Execuscribe--Current information?? Any employees out there.
Can anyone share information on this company, platform, accounts, pay, benefits etc. Considering applying. Thanks.
Thanks, but I was wanting feedback from current employees/ICs.

eMTS - Question for current employees

I'm being tested for a position with eMTS and would like to know how you do on the platform.  I read in a previous post there were several, so please let me know how you like the one you're on.  Also, how many lines do you average each hour/day/pay period?  If you could share what your hourly equivalent is, too, that would be helpful.


Have you had any problems with not being paid on your paydates ever?  Hoping it's a stable, responsible, professional company.


Thank you for responding!


Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits.  Thanks!
Keystrokes.. any feedback from current employees?
xx
They only have ICs. Maybe they do not care enough to make them employees so they can do what they s
want to them. It is a way to cheat everyone. They do not have to pay SS, unemployment, liability insurance, workman's comp (or is it worker's comp), etc. They do not have to give benefits and put all the money in their pockets.

Employee status means that the company cares about you and wants to take care of you.
