No for ethical and reputable

MT companies, it won't! When you uses something like autokeys or autocorrect, I really do not know how they are going to figure out what keys you actually hit to produce a word, phrase or sentence.

Is she as ethical as Lee?

What would you do? Ethical question.
A small national is going to lose their biggest (pretty much only) account and many people I care about will lose their jobs. I only know because of some very reliable inside information, a friend works for another service and they will be taking over the account. It is bothering me and wondering would you take the risk and let everyone know so their paycheck doesn't suffer?
The ethical thing to do
In my opinion, I'd rather be started on the icky account, paid by the hour for a month until used to it (I've found most icky accounts get a little better once I get used to them and do them exclusively) and then transitioned over to line counts. I think that is ethical and fair. It is true that hospital MTs will send out work that no one can understand. I used to jump the girls I worked with at a hospital for sending out stuff they knew was barely passing for fluent English (or for that matter was not fluent English) and impossible to do without leaving blanks. They didn't realize the difference in what is reasonable in a hospital is not tolerated in a contract MT.
Probably legal but not ethical. nm

Advanced is NOT ethical
I worked for a friend who since the 1980s had her own company named Advanced Transcription Network. In the 1990s, I think it was Gordon Transcription, changed their name to Advanced Transcription. REALLY CHEESY of them to do. For the longest time the newly named company did substandard work and my friend who owned ATN got many calls from clients complaining. No, ATN had not copyrighted the name, but is is and was unethical of them to steal her name.
I would NEVER work for advanced.
Owner is very ethical, pay always on time. sm
what else do you need to know, I will try to help.
They are a small company in Maine.
are there any companies who are reputable, mean what they say, do what they say, and
Are there any honest, reliable, trustworthy, respectable companies out there that put their money where their mouths are? I have been very let down twice now by two separate nationals, and am totally disheartened. I do a good job and that is all I want to do. What I expect from a company is for them to do what they say they will ... if they are going to train, then train ... if they are going to say they respond to your calls, respond ... if they say you will have returned reports edited and errors pointed out, send the edited reports with the corrections ... if they say they will give you a supervisor/lead/manager, present that person....if they say their tech department will help, does it always take 3-5 hours to solve a problem?
Honesty!! That is all I am asking for. Any companies out there that anyone would really say know what INTEGRITY means? If so, please, please let me know. :( Is it even worth it to have hope after struggling to polish skills via these new online schools, as I did? Is there anyone to trust out there? TRUST?
They are reputable. Pay always on time.
4 cpl editing, 8-9 cpl transcribing. Decent company. They are bringing all of their work back to USA, were offshoring to India, but that became a huge problem. Now, they are in the process of trying to bring it all back. Pretty upfront and honest people.
Are there any reputable companies
It is sad to me to see someone covering for the MTSOs. They know they can get away with anything because they can get somebody else in five minutes or less. As long as they have desperate fools willing to work and put up with them, things will never change.
Reputable MT Companies???sm
Does anyone know any reputable MT companies to work for? I have a prospect on a local group here, but just waiting on them to get ready to hire for the position. I was promised I would be the first one called when the position comes available. I am afraid to apply for something online because I don't want to get in a situation that is just as bad as MQ or worse.
I also need flexibility because I have a 4-month-old infant and have to work my schedule around my husband's full-time job. So, if anyone knows of any good places to work, drop me a line and let me know.
Thanks 
No reputable company would allow
any MT to pick and choose the work they want to do. The company I work for would not tolerate that, which is why they are so popular. Work is assigned according to TAT unless there is a stat due. Army Brat must work for a terrible company if she/he is so paranoid about who gets what work.
no reputable company should ever sm
have an incident where there is a bounced check! Lots of places have financial problems but they don't let their payroll bounce. Sad state of affairs I'd say!
ATSI/MT World - Are they reputable?

Find a reputable school
Hi, Shelley.
I am so sorry you got pulled in by TranSCAM. I agree with the other poster's info on contacting a lawyer and the BBB about them.
There really is no way to do OJT in this career anymore. The best way to get into transcription is through studying with a reputable school such as CareerStep. There are others....look through the posts on here to find schools that graduates recommend. Best of luck to you!
I didn't say the company was reputable. (sm)
It's one of the larger companies that used to be the apple of MTStars' eye until it started to offshore. They would vigorously defend this company, and now -- nothing.
It's a big company, so I guess in some people's eyes, it's reputable. When it was offered to me, I thought it was disgusting, and to me, the company lost all credibility.
They hired another person to work on my account (a former employee of the customer), and when they told me I typed too fast for the account and that the new person wasn't getting many jobs, I finally had it and quit, never looked back and never regretted it.
I found a much better, much smaller company that I believe wouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior. Bigger isn't always better.
Looking for a reputable company, preferably to do op reports..sm
I am currently with a company with whom I have been happy for the last few years but things seem to be changing. My account has been overstaffed and I have spent the last 45 minutes trying to dial in to my account but all lines are busy. Starting out the day with this level of frustration is not healthy and for this reason along with others I may need to make a change. Can anyone give me any ideas of stable companies with plenty of work and good pay that do not require weekend work? I have 30 years acute care experience and prefer op notes but am open to clinic work too. I try to do 1800-2000 lines a day, care about my work product and am a very reliable employee. I simply need to make some steady money! Thanks for any help or advice offered.
I know of 2 MTs from reputable schools who started w/o the 2 year exp. nm
