Northern Indiana
Sounds like the northern 'burbs of NYC
We moved back to Pennsylvania and got the same house for 1/5 that price.
You're right.

Northern Counties Secretarial Services - Minnesota
Accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, I believe, so am re-posting it here:
Anybody ever work for Northern Counties Secretarial Services in Minnesota in the 90s? Used to be what seemed like a great company, but in the end, they did a few really good MTs dirty.
Any with MDI that work on the Northern Virginia hospital accounts?
I work for one of the other services and received some disturbing news this week. Just want to verify what I was told is true. Please email. 
Southern Transcription
Does anyone know anything about Southern Transcription services out of Valdosta Georgia?
Southern Transcription
I don't know about a Southern Transcription out of Valdosta, Georgia but worked for the one out of Taylorsville, Georgia. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them, they are absolutely wonderful. QA is great, the owner is very sweet and informative, keeps her MTs up-to-date on everything that is going on with the company, always trying to improve things for her MTs and is always stomping the path to get more accounts. The pay is really decent, it is all hospital accounts and the platform that I worked on was Meditech, which I hated with a passion, lol. They do not over hire and there was always, ALWAYS plenty of work to go around. The only reason I left is because I had an opportunity to go back to work inhouse locally, I had been at home for a long, LONG time and was ready for some human contact again.
Southern Girl
I have a friend up in San Francisco and she bought this nasty little starter home in a dangerous neighbrhood (gangs, drugs, but it was the only place she could afford to buy) for $350,000K. They are afraid to go out of their house at night. I once saw a two-bedroom condo listed in the SF paper for 2.2 million.
Southern accents? That's right up my alley. :) nm

Southern Transcription Services
I hear this is a good company. Any info?
Southern Transcription Services..
Does anyone have any information on Southern Transcription Services out of Georgia? I checked the archives and there is not much info on them. TIA! 
Ever heard of Southern IllinoisTran?
Anyone ever heard of Southern Illinois Transcription in Carterville, Illinois? Do they have a lot of work? Do they keep you on the same doctors? What do they pay? Do they give raises?
Thanks
Anything on Southern Illinois Transcription
I am just curious if they have good accounts, what type, VR or straight typing? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay at least 8 cpl? Thanks
Southern Illinois Transcription...from below...sm
 Please steer clear of this one. the owner is rude, moody, and sends out emails YELLING (all caps) Threatening and if you try to contact other MTs who work on the same account with you, she gets hightly ticked off. I told her she was crazy and then was gone! Maybe she needed medication or something.
yeah, too bad the southern CA MTSOs only pay

I lover my southern MTSO!
I absolutely love it when I have to talk to them on the phone cuz their accents are soooo cute and they are soooo polite. Being from Ohio I just love it, it makes my day. Plus, they never call to bug me, just quick questions from time to time but I never tire of hearing the accent. Also, never been happier with them and pay is fine.
Does anyone work in the Louisville/Southern Indiana
area? If so, do you mind saying where and how you like it? Thanks.
Any info on Southern Transcription in Georgia? nm

I worked for a southern Pentecostal MTSO, and
she NEVER mixed business with religion because that would be interfering in our personal lives, and she was too respectful to ever do anything like that. I think it's pretty ignorant of you to take your specific experience and paint a whole region that way. I believe the correct term for that is 'prejudice' and I find it disgusting.
Southern Transcription Services in Georgia??....sm
Does anyone here have any current information about Southern Transcription Services in Rome, Georgia? I'd appreciate anything you care to share about this company because I can't find anything about them here, even in the archives. Thanks!!!
American, yes I guess we still count southern as Americans
Just to let you know, doing grammar or spelling policing here can get you tossed off. Not being ugly, just knowing.
I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services
and always have work. I have only run out a work a handful of times. It is a very busy account. It is a very good company to work for.
Thanks! and not in California
Thanks for the good wishes. We are not in California-we live in Nevada. Like I said, I've known her for years and she's always known I was a transcriptionist--thank goodness! In light of the decline in pay we've seen in recent years, this was just a great offer!
DRC, California
Any info. on Digital Records Corp. in California?
DRC California
Have been there almost 2 years. They have been good to me. Work is good - less ESL's than most. Benefits could use a little work, but better than some companies. Insurance is expensive for dependents. Hope this helps.
WPU in California
Has anyone ever heard of WPU out of California? Thida Win is in charge. Thanks.
MTs from California
My company won't hire from California either. They said they can't afford to pay what the California MTs want because of their higher cost of living. All CA resumes go in the trash unread. Just passing on what I heard.
TTD, INC in California
Anyone have any info on this company? Looks like the pay is pretty low, but other than that, anyone have any experience with them? Good or bad? TIA
You should be in California--
the entire state is being overrun with people who cannot speak English.
DRC was in California... sm
Acusis is in India and headquartered in Philly. DRC was in California. Acusis bought DRC, and so then DRC became Acusis US.
If someone slips up and says DRC, they really mean Acusis US, not Acusis India.
Confused yet???
Any info on DRC out of California? sm
Line rate, platform, insurance? Any information appreciated.
Anyone know anything about AssistMed in California? TIA

I use Meditech in California
If you have some specific questions, feel free to ask.

Chronicle California
Anyone work for them? How is/was it? Thanks in advance.
Seem like they were in California but I'm not sure if that is where all of their accounts are.
I think for the most part people have said good things about them. I talked to one person who had worked there a few years and said there seemed to be a high turnover but no more than anywhere else. She also said a lot of days it was really tough to get the line count as some of the accounts were harder than others. That is all I know and they really don't sound any different than any other company out there. You never know until you try.
California Transcription
I was also wondering the ease of the equipment that the company uses and degree of ESL dictators. I tried to research this company, and past comments have stated that they pay once a month.
Outsourcing in California
Not true - I live in California and many transcription companies outsource offshore. In fact, it's a trend that is increasing.
Snobbing California
OSi shouldn't be posting it as a United States: Nationwide position if they won't consider hiring from California. It wastes people's time applying and waiting for a response when they have no intention of using people from here. Chumps.
Are you a California resident?
If so, if a company ran a credit check without your permission they could be liable for 10,000 in damages. CA Civil Code §1785.20.5, 1786.12 explain and §1786.50 explains damages.
If you are not CA resident, Google your state civil codes credit reporting employment, etc. I would also send a certified letter to the credit bureau who ran your report and tell them this was an unathorized inquiry and you would like it removed.
roi - pretty sure california

FutureNet in California sm
Does anyone know if the lady that runs this is the same one who used to be with the old company YOG?
Chronicle in California
Anybody heard of this company? How is their platform? Do they pay on time? How is QA? TIA
Can't live on $35K in California either.

J&J transcription-California
Anybody got any pros/cons re: these people?
In California hospitals
things are especially tense. The unemployment rate in California is 12.5% and the state is ready to go bankrupt. I am just ashamed and disgusted that such a beautiful state has gone the way it has.
Please DO NOT mislead the MTs in California
You might want to look this up before you resume doing business in California:
http://www.edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm#How%20Do%20I%20File%20a%20WARN%20Notice
It's my belief that California also has bumping rights based on Seniority. As I understand, if the person(s) who laid off people for no reason at all (which violates the covenant of good faith and fair dealing under California law and for termination in violation of California's public policy which defeat the at-will employment in California) lacks seniority at the company, then he/she can be bumped off by someone with higher seniority than him/her and with equal or more qualifications than him/her at the company.
In such a case, that person(s) who started the unfair layoffs would just be waking up a sleeping enemy!
You need that money in California
Fresno area's not quite as bad, but in the SF suburbs, it's $1000/month for a 600 square foot studio. Even at 10 cents a line, you've got to do a lot of lines to handle that. It's one the biggest reason I moved to the midwest.
What you get here compared to California
Had my SIL visit last year from Sacramento, CA and she could not believe what we paid for our home. She estimated my home and the homes around in the $500,000 range and up, which was more than most the homes here. I watch the home shows and shocked at what some people settle for when looking for a home there. They have nothing to show for say a home $200,000 or more. I used to live in Atlanta but moved to a more rural area where you can get a show piece for not that much.
California Transcription
Just wanted to warn anybody who may consider taking a position with this company. The pay is never on time. I'm still waiting to get paid for work done in JULY and today is September 27. And to anyone who starts to accuse me of libel--this is the truth and I can prove it. I can also prove that when asked about my paycheck, they lied to me and said it was in the mail, and it was not. And yes, I have reported it to authorities. Just wanted to warn anyone else who might get taken in by them. . . hope I can help someone else avoid the same pitfalls I've fallen into with these people (the Bartons).
Florida or California? Looks like there are several.
