No company is the perfect fit for everyone, but I am happy. sm

I started in October 2006, and after 30+ years as an MT, I hope I have found my home.  The work seems plentiful (I have only had to go to my secondary account a few times) and the people in management seem to genuinely care about you and want to help.  The incentive tier is easy to achieve, and the benefits are pretty good, I think.  

Regardless of what you choose, good luck!

Hello, I am an IC MT that is very happy with the company i am contracted with. This post is to serve 3 purposes. 1) to try to help out a few good MTs looking for a good company, and 2) to help out the company as it is need of some good, qualified and dedicated MTs, and 3) (in all honestly) to make a little referral $$$!  

Their clientelle and workload is increasing and finding good MTs is a hard process. They are not an IC that offers 6 cents and wants perfect MTs...They pay decent, given the trend of this industy... typically 7-9 cents, i believe. They really take care of their good MTs by verbal praise and $$$$.

I am on an all ortho account that could really use a few good ortho MTs that know their terminology and focus on quality. About 80% of the dictators are great, the 20% are not terrible  --there are many other accounts available besides ortho as well.. but it will take applying and talking with the recruiter to find out what is all available at the time because positions fill up fast and new positions become available at times.

Their platform is pretty simple while allowing some great features. You type in Microsoft Word 2003 or higher. Use Expresscribe (which is free) for audio. Need BOS 3rd edition and probably a good spellchecker.  Need your own computer and software. Pay is always on time and accurate. Incentive after 1000 lines a day. Holiday pay. Strictly IC status as of now.

This is mainly clinic work. full time requires 1000 lines per day, Monday-Friday. Some part-time 500 lines per day positions are available. With most accounts, Friday's work is due on Monday. 20 hour TAT. Flexibility on a day-to-day basis. You get assigned providers, or a smaller assigned pool.

Training is fairly quick, and depending on your learning abilities, the process of learning the templates and creating your own shortcuts can make you productive fairly quickly.

Well, I answered most of the questions... however, if you have more (of course which company is it?), please email me and I will give you the link to the company if you provide me your name for a referral.

I am not a recruiter, just a happy MT looking to help out some fellow MTs, help out the company I am loyal to, and make a little referral $.

change or growth.  What I was talking about was the continuous posting by the same people, over and over again, that is vague and destructive.  This is not just about Keystrokes, this is about the posts for other companies as well.

I think that not every MT is a good fit for every company, and not every company is good fit for every MT.  If this were the case, there would be very little job searching or hiring going on, only if someone retired or left the field or entered the field.

It is the outright lying that is so horrible.  Keystrokes is a transcription company which means that we have the normal ups and downs that every company has in terms of slow and busy periods.  We have been very fortunate to have very little down time due to busy and also new accounts. 

If there are check problems, they are resolved.  We all wish there were no problems and this is the biggest topic at manager meetings, but human error comes into play here as well.  We have a new time recording system that should eliminate that, if the information is entered correctly from the MT. 

If there are tough dictators on the account, it is not the fault of the company.  It is the fault of the hospital that has them on staff, but you have to take the good with the bad.

If there are QA complaints, it is usually that the leads are too strict.  The owners have said that they would rather be known for being too picky than too lenient, thus having accounts say the work is not up to standard. 

If there is a reliability problem, it just might not be a good fit.

I know that if I were to take over recruiting and hiring (which I absolutely want NOTHING to do with), I would not take job hoppers.  However, I have been told that you have to look at the hopping and why it has happened.  A lot could be poor choices.  That's why I will never be in charge of hiring, but I can control the MT QA and reliability once they are on my account.

misleading because the fit was not good for them. 

If you have been on these boards a while, you would know that she always posts her name.  I emailed her today to tell her what was happening on here, and the response I got back was she does not even look on here as it is too upsetting and has promised herself not to come and look.  She has too much else to do with her time and defending herself and her company is always misinterpreted.  She basically told me I should spend more time working or with my family than spending time on this soap opera.

.

1.  All dictators sound like Patrick Stewart, calm and perfect speech.

2.  The company pays a minimum of 12 cents per line, of course spaces included.

3.  All management staff were transcriptionists for at least 10 years.

4.  20-year-old Buffy is not assigned as my account manager, just because she's somebody's wife in the company  (and she's so dumb she thinks car horns need fluid). 

5.  Quick and responsive QA people who provide samples and are not menopausal, in a bad relationship, or on a power trip.

6.  The company provides me a wonderful leather chair with heat and massage.

7.  The turnaround time is 72 hours on all reports.

8.  The CEO looks like Johnny Depp and comes to my house for one-on-one training.

9.  We all head to Hawaii at least once a year for work relationship training.

10.  They actually have a wonderful retirement program that will allow me more than a shanty house with outdoor plumbing.

Am I asking too much?

Can anyone tell me anything about Lee Perfect Transcription?  Thanks

I sent my resume to Lee Perfect responding to their ad on the Job Board here...they e-mailed me back with a test that included a zillion questions regarding everything from A-Zand another test on the usual medical stuff.  Does anyone know if it is worth going through all the hoops?  Are they good to work for and how about their cpl rate, is that good or not so good.  Not sure I want to go through all this before knowing the answers to my questions.

TIA

I am interested in hearing from current MTs who work for Lee Perfect.  How are they to work for and would like to know if you are able to get good line counts with EMDAT, and if so, how long does it take for you to become productive.  I am especially interested in hearing from hem/onc transcriptionists and what they think of these accounts.  Thanks so much for your time.

I know somebody who worked there who had a terrible account.  The high line rate could not offset it.  It's a fine company and the people are nice, but so much really depends on the account. 

I've seen people complain about different platforms with Lee Perfect.  Do they still use different platforms and which would be the best one to work on?  I do not want training on any system.  Is there an exText account? 

Also, people have mentioned that you work in a pool and thus have run out of work in the past.  Is this still the case? 

Thanks for any info.
