It's hard to find a good company.

Is MQ the only company offering a sign-on bonus?
nm
Actually, it's a good sign that a company SM
is about to go down the tubes. Within 2 years of winning that supposed honor, it'll be a sweatshop if it's still operating (and operating using US transcriptionists).
sign-on bonus
I received my sign-on bonus for Precyse and also for Diskriter. No problemo. BTW, Diskriter seems to get a lot of flack around here, but I really love it. Very nice people, good platform, fair line counting, QA helpful and not stifling. OT frequently if you want it, but not all the time. I'm made to feel like a valued team member. :)
radiology sign on bonus
Just recently saw Spheris ad for $500 sign on bonus for radiology. First time I have seen bonus offered for radiology. Am almost tempted, but have good accounts and steady work with current company. Any thoughts on this?
Spheris sign-on bonus
I wish that all transcriptionists would stop working for these transcription companies. I have been an MT for over 20 years, earn a great salary at a hospital and now I'm losing my job to a service who wants to pay me 8 cents per line. I refuse to give them my expertise for that crappy pay. There is nothing right about it. Also, you can bet that the sign on bonus will be made up somehow or another, probably with bad pay!
So if you are SE and switch to PT or FT, do you get the sign on bonus?

Webmedx sign on bonus
When I worked for the above, they offered me a sign on bonus of $250.00, and then charged me $250.00 for the use of their equipment, so beware of the sign on bonuses.
Anyone switching from IC to FT for MQ - qualify for sign on bonus? (nm)

The reason for the ridiculous sign on bonus
Don't bother, you will regret it.
OSI's sign-on bonus is a bribe, U won't stay there
.
medscribe and they offer a 500 sign on bonus. nm
.
So, exactly how much are we talking regarding the sign-on bonus for Softscript?
I noticed the ad for SoftScript has changed, especially regarding needing to fill 100 positions rather than 120 called for last week. The biggest change is that the sign-on bonus is gone. I have applied, tested, and will be speaking to HR, and I will definitely mention the bonus, because it was there when I applied. I'm an ex-MQer, and I am stuck in a company without acute care work - I cannot tolerate any more rehab, rectal tubes, PEGs, shunts, catheters, and people who make it out alive transferring to nursing homes, etc. I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. I sure hope SoftScript is a good company. I have read archives - but not any details to sink my teeth into. I just wonder how much that bonus is.....
Heartland is advertising sign-on bonus. Aren't they for

Does TransHealth have a sign-on bonus? It seems like there are people recruiting for them on these
boards. Are they really that great to work for? I have heard mixed reports.
Still notice a couple of companies offering sign on bonus. Does it make you wonder? sm
Are they just an extremely exclusive type company, wanting only the best and willing to pay for it or is there something wrong they have to bribe people to come to work for them?
I am not sure, but think I am curious enough to apply to check it out.
Not a good sign...
Awful lot of people that looked and no one is happy...God I hate this line of work, I really do. But for now I am stuck it pays the extra bills and single mom and two in college. I am at their mercy...
That's usually a good sign..
I work for 2 companies now that I could not find any information on. Though they run low on work occasionally, it is never for long. They both are good to me and pay weekly.
"new name" is never a good sign -nm
:
There seems to be new ads on this site everyday, which is a good sign, but
nm
Not sure that 3 out of 100 or more is a good sign. I stick to my post above. LOL nm
Hmmm! Not a good sign! Thanks for your input. Will probably pass it up! no msg
zzz
good deal for THEM. NOPE NOT ME
I have seen ads for 2.5, 3, 4. I would not take. When they say editor, don't confuse this with QA. It is simply voice recognition and you sit and unscramble, delete out, retype in, put in caps and periods and take out where they were put in by the machine.
IF you do 400 lines an hour THAT IS listen through and correct it at 4 cents a line....I would say pretty hard to listen through that much and correct in an hour but maybe you like it.
Nope, you're good, MTGrammy...I followed what you were saying
x
Nope. Company does.
And the company pays 7.65% of the SS while you pay 7.65%...otherwise, you pay the whole 13.3% yourself.
YIKES... I guess I knew it sounded to good to be true. I wonder if anyone ever gets sign-on bonuses
at any company. Maybe we should take a survey on who actually gets a sign-on bonus. How depressing is that. Now I'm bummed.
Nope, I dropped OSi for another company.
BUT, I bet you are doing OSi's dirty work....LMAO!! Good luck...you are going to need it!
My company gives a bonus after 90 days.
A company would be stupid to give a bonus upfront because they would have people work the minimum amount of time necessary to get the bonus. I've been other posts where the company will give the bonus spread out over a year.
Nope. We just get sick and tired of our company getting bashed
at every turn. We love this place and have run out of patience with posters like this who clearly have no idea what they are talking about.
Have you never lost your patience?
quarterly bonus from company pool?
Anyone here work for a company that offers a quarterly bonus that comes from a pool set aside by the company and the transcribers who qualify for the bonus, split it at the end of the quarter? Just wondering, if any, are you bonus checks worth the hassle? Are they decent checks? Thanks for all replies.
Christmas Bonus survey...Has anyone received a bonus yet this year or expect one?
We usually get one but haven't see it yet. Just curious if anyone has been so lucky as to get one.
i wouldn't sign it, but cross that out and sign
the rest
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)
What type of work do they have? Any op reports? Appreciate any info.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!
x
TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people
I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had. Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year. I followed my manager from another giant company.
I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start. The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced. Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it.
There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
Also, it is not only about a birthday bonus, any bonus...sm
I am curious to see the average amount of different bonuses out there. Like anniversary, birthday, holiday, etc. bonuses. Remember back when you were an employee and had to go out to work for a company, during your birthday, anniversaries, certain special times of the year everyone would send around a card, sign it, cook a meal or something nice for you...I am just wondering if any company does that for you even though you don't actually have to dress and go to work physically. A simple poll...NOT something I will base on becoming an employee with...A SIMPLE POLL! Thanks for everyone who gave some input about their actual company and not a criticism...Just a simple question ....
No bonus here - I make my own bonus sm
by working more and having a big fat paycheck!
I have learned, in life, not to expect so as to not be let down or disappointed. I apply that reasoning to all aspects of life, including my career.
Although I agree that sometimes it is nice to have others think of you with a gift or bonus, in reality, it is not the norm working as an IC.
Christmas has become so materialized and commercialized, it really is sad for those who don't have as much as others to feel such a financial stress and burden to buy or give gifts.
So, I say make your own bonus and work a little more, get some extra lines in, and that would be your bonus!
Happy Holidays to All!
Good company, with good incentive SM
pay scale, decent health plan for full-timers, lower end for other benefits, well organized and dependable, good platform, good support. Very heavy ESL, medium-sized community medical centers, relatively high SR pay rate because it takes longer overall to clean it up. However--good producers who put in a good workday make quite good money here.
good company
I have been with them for awhile now. Every one is wonderful and helpful. I thought it was a 65 character per gross line. I am going to look back through my notes. If it is not, I still make a line count that I am happy with and still improving. Pay is always on time. Have a good day.
Good company
I am happy with them. Good accounts, very rare to run out of work, good managers, decent pay. I feel I have been fairly treated.
D*** good company, go for it
I was off of QA in 3 days, overtime yes, benefits, yes. GO FOR IT, EXCELLENT COMPANY.
GOOD IC COMPANY!
I have found Philbrick Transcription (based out of CT) to be a great company and they only offer IC status. They have a great starting line rate too!!! www.philbricktranscription.com
Anyone out there know about Cy Med. Is it a good company sm
How do they pay? Do they count lines fairly? Do they have a lot of bad ESL? They seem like a nicer, kinder MT company even offering time and a half until you get up to speed. Are they liars who say anything to get you to sign on? Can you expect them to be true to their word? Thanks any and all imput! What a crazy world. I am going wild trying to find a nice MT company.
