If this man is asking for details meaning names of your current clients, then he's looking most likely for new clients for himself. 

No job is worth losing your own clients.  Just be careful out there. 

I worked for a hospital and wouldn't care if they called them, but in my opinion just like we have to do our research with the dictators thrown at us, so do the recruiters.  JMO.  

I would not want to work for a company that is not loyal, but in what way are they not loyal?

place to work.  I wasn't working there full-time, but from what I saw, they have a nice benefit package, and the staff is very helpful and professional.  The only kinda scary part is that they require 99.5% accuracy (or maybe 99, cannot remember).  Fortunately, on my first QA thing before being released from QA, I did manage to achieve that (a little more actually), so I was relieved.  I guess I just do not have enough confidence in myself.  Unfortunately, they lost the account I was hired for, but they were looking for another one.  In the meantime, though, my personal life kind of took a different turn, and I ended up moving from Kansas to Colorado, so I decided one job was enough for now.

As for eTransPlus, they are also very friendly, although much more disorganized than some companies.  I was put off for a week and a half past the date I was hired to start, then when I did start, there were tech problems, then I did 4 jobs or so and ran out of work ... that kind of thing.  Again, when I decided to move, I just decided it was not worth the extra aggravation.  Still, I would recommend either company.

There are still some good companies out there, although I hesitate to comment since my experience is not recent.  I used to work for MDI-MD, and they paid VERY well at the time because you had to supply your own LD, and that was before the days of unlimited LD.  I had 5 accounts, so managed to keep myself busy, but now I read posts about people running out of work, so I do not really know.

I have heard good things about Axolotl, and I applied, but the only opening is 3rd shift with 80% ESLs, so I decided not to do it.  Their benefits are great, though - no deductible for BC/BS!  And there is a $500 sign-on bonus too.  Oh well ...

I talked to Acusis, and if you can overlook their heavy overseas connection, they have a nice benefit package as well.  The pay is so-so.  I guess no one ever pays me what I know I am worth. 

If you run into a company you are interested in, feel free to ask me.  I have been an MT for about 100 years now, so I might have worked for them! 

Good luck -- hope you find something wonderful.

*new* insurance plan been released yet?  It has been months in the making . . .

The owner holds your paychecks and you get paid late and then blames it on the postal service.  They over hire and you never can make any decent money because there is too much down time.  They don't do anything about cherry picking, yet they will b##h about it (I don't cherry pick because if I did, I would be in hog heaven and would not be writing this post).  The owner is rude and you can never get feedback from QA even if you beg for it.  Their tech support stinks to high heaven!  You will never get anyone to answer any questions after they close at 5 p.m.  They don't staff around the clock like most companies do.

The platform they use is EMDAT and not a very MT friendly one at that, so your line counts suffer.  The sound quality of their dictations is substandard. 

Just some concerned advice to anyone who might be thinking of going to work with them just to save a fellow MT tons of grief.  I'm glad I found another company.  I was with them for some years and put up and sucked it up and kept saying you have to take the good with the bad.  My tolerance level is very high, but this has gotten ridiculous!

remember all the negative posts and thinking not such nice things about the owner and thinking that is one company I'll never work for.   The owner posted several times back then, admitted they had issues and were working on them.  I don't know what the specific issues were so I can't say, though they do ask for feedback yearly from each MT and if you have an issue at any time they seem to be very receptive to trying to help resolve it.

What I fear now with the influx of resumes and subsequent hires is that there will again be lots of negative talk.  KS is not perfect.  I came from a company that seemed to be as perfect as you can get until they started offshoring and then got greedy and offshored more.  It came back to bite them in the butt and they lost several accounts and finally went under.  I had been with the company for several years so any move was going to take some adjustment.

I think there will probably be lots of MTs who come on board who will also have adjustment issues, whether it be a different platform, more ESLs than they are used to, etc., but I think overall it will be a possible experience based on all the posts I have seen recently about MQ and OSI.

I personally have some issues with KS, nothing major, but then I'm still in adjustment mode, but other than the company above and a small local MTSO I worked for, KS is next in line for the best company I've worked for. 

They have a great reputation for radiology accounts and accounts actively seek them out, so someone must be doing something right along the way. 

You want more precise specifics, leave an email address.  I'm not putting my head on the block with specifics on a public board.
