I know everyone has their own opinions and experiences with people, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Penny Whalen. She is a great recruiter and a great person!!!

Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
Like a bad penny...
A Kool-Aid drinker, too Like the mantra in Field Of Dreams- If it's posted, it must be true! Can't you just hear Johnny Cochran bellowing that out in court? Yes, my tired, old, ex-QA (riiiight!), she said she wasn't interviewed so that's that. She didn't disparage the recruiter either, I suppose. Maybe all of this is just a bad dream- like when you supposedly worked here. Oh, that's right- you quit! Uh-huh, sure. Oh, but wait! Before you did, the owner BEGGED you to stay! Anyone who knows anything about our illustrious leader knows BEGGING is not part of his ballywick, so you must be sharing the same dream. I would love to know when you left, as I'm sure our research would find that you were terminated, or resigned in lieu of. It would certainly explain your sour apples after so much time. I thought when you QUIT a company, you do so to improve your lot in life and show them that you are much better tahn they? How come, after so much time away, there is still such anger and resentment? Could it be that you realize it was a big mistake to quit or in fact you were really let go? I think we know the truth. Enjoy your dream!
I believe her name is Penny, not sure if still there.
To penny...
You have a point. I have tried to do this for 9 years now with the same company. This last one really has me thinking though. If they keep cutting, pretty soon we will have to pay to work for them because what we get will not even pay our internet bill. I keep going until I find something I am sure will work for me. I do not care for uncertainty especially in this time. I may be not happy, miserable, and completely beside myself over it, but I won't just quit on a whim. Did that once in my younger years and learned to regret it when the paycheck never came.
Penny has only been with KS a month or so. sm
Call Becky at the office or call and talk to whoever answers. Tell them the situation and tell them that you want to work for KS but feel that you have been shuffled. I would bet that they will get it done for you. No company wants a reputation for letting good MTs fall through cracks.
And they don't pay 1 penny of downtime
when the system is down for hours at a time.
Penny Pray
Penny Pray's company is a small Maine transcription company. They are a good company, and good to work for. The only problem is if you do their psych work, it's very difficult to make decent pay because many dictators are slow speaking, different formats and it just takes too long to get decent pay. If you get their ops, you might do ok.
Penny Bashing!
I have never heard more woman being catty! Have any of you ever watched the movied called Mean Girls? I have worked with Penny and found her to be communicative, friendly, and out of her way helpful! Have you ever heard that old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say?
job posting (Penny Pray)??
Anyone know who this company is? Their job posting seems to be incomplete.
12 years ago I charged a penny a word

Transcription @ Its Best - Penny Pray, owner.
Great woman to work for. Pay is always on time, plenty of work. She runs an honest company with integrity.
Possibly a penny a line? I've never had anyone ask if I had my CMT on an interview. nm

No, I'm not on his side. He ought to pay every penny he owes. It doesn't matter what
This is a capitalist society. He is free to charge as much as the market will bear.
If you're tolerating that, then the market holds.
For the trouble, I'd make a surcharge onto the shipping charge as well.
If he did not pay my 1st check within 24 hours of the pay date (absolute proof), I would stop working that very day for him.
You dont think any company wont save a penny anywhere they
yui
Save a penny post is not slanderous. Not only are you naive,
,
But a 'Thanks for Your Hard Work' email wouldn't cost them a penny :-(
It's not even about a gift, really. It's just more about the lack of acknowledgement in general.
I'm sure a lot of MTs, not just MDI people, are feeling a bit disillusioned and unappreciated this week.
C.C. You are Awesome
C.C. Thanks for always watching out for us!
AWESOME
TransTech is a GREAT place to work!
and they are AWESOME
to work for and with.
AWESOME!
U go girl (or guy)! Keep us informed about your new job and congrats!
Then that is awesome!
Best of luck!
Awesome!
Been here 7 years, back before it was bought out. There is endless work and that's NO joke. Small management staff, pay on time. Only drawback for some is using the C-phone. No hassles, nobody looking over your shoulder. You just work and get paid.
TRS is awesome!
I have worked for TRS for just over 2 years and couldn't be happier. TRS truly cares about its employees and it shows. I can't imagine working anywhere else.
YOU ARE AWESOME
Very well stated! I am VERY interested in the 3000 lines/6-8 hours. WOW! Can you emaiil me and share you knowledge on how you acheived this goal. Do you do this consistently, daily? I think I am pretty up there usually coming in around 2000, but I am very interested in how skilled, quality MTs come in at 3000 a day consistently??? Please share you knowledge with me so I can try it. Thank you for the great post! I am so frustrated reading this line count stuff. I love Transtech and my sense, as good as it can be in this remote working situation, is that they are honest people and wound not intentionally mesh with line counts.
Awesome!
That is an awesome rate. Usually it is 4 cpl. What company is this with?
That is awesome!
A friend told me when he went to RT school (a long time ago) he was taught by physicians. I heard nursing school used to be full of practical experience too.
Awesome!
I ended up typing the report over again, but believe me - I will NEVER forget your instructions on accessing a lost report, and I will get some cardboard ASAP!!! Thanks very much...
AWESOME
4-1/2 years and don't intend to leave. Great, great, great company.
Awesome!
I start tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that our supervisor is good.
You are AWESOME
You get the picture!
Awesome!
I worked for them for a couple of months. The work was very easy, but the paychecks were a little slow!
awesome post above. thank you for saying that!

I work for MDI-MD and I have had awesome help from QA.
Never anything negative, only helpful.
They do and the lines are awesome
nm
Wow! Awesome hop! Congrats! nm
If they are supposedly AWESOME
why do they have so much turnover and why are there so many posters who worked there and left? Don't you have to wonder about a company that is so great but still has to advertise?
This is awesome and is what this board
should be about!! Thank you.
awesome company
AccuStat Carolinas is a great company. Myself and many co-workers all keep in touch across the country as we all work for AccuStat and we all love them. The people are great to work for, pay is on time and the work is plentiful. The managers really help and get you going so their support is the best I have found in this market really!
Thumbs up for this company for sure!
They are growing like MAD! This is an awesome
company. Definitely not overhiring. I have been here almost two months now and I have never been happier with my job. The accounts are good, the people are amazing, from management to tech support and even the general office staff. They treat me incredibly well and many, many others on here say the same.
Awesome! I got the job and start really soon.
My husband is happy, but cautious, after all that has gone on recently. But, I sure believe this is an answer to a prayer.....and an angel must be looking out over us here. Thanks again for the kind words. It is a good day today! :)
lee perfect is just awesome nm

Awesome company...
I've been with them since the end of March and they don't expect you to start out at 700 lines a day. I started at a very low number (don't remember off hand)and have increased it by 50 per week. I will be up to 700 lines per day by the end of the May. Platform is great and the team is of people are awesome to work for, too. I plan to go full-time just as soon as I quit my other very flex part-time company and the two places are like day and night! MDI appreciates their people! Do yourself a favor, if you are even remotely interested, check them out and talk to their recruiter.
Wow that sounds awesome! nm

AWESOME. Did you hear
that AHDI/MTIA is now wanting MTs and editors who are entering the workforce and those currently employed will need to approach professional credentials the same way all other allied health workers do – as a necessary investment to engage in professional practice in this industry. Basically elevating the medical transcription certificate program to an associate degree by 2016?
Awesome post to you!
Ditto all around.
Awesome, prayers go with you
Wow that is so cool. My prayers will be going with you that the audience will have open hearts and ears to hear this dilemma and do something about it.. You are a credit to us all for standing up for our profession... Thanks for what you are doing..
awesome, are they flexible?
I have no problem sticking to my schedule, but since I won't have any vacation for awhile are they flexible? Say I want to take off a Wednesday, can I make it up on Friday or Saturday, or am I just out of luck?
My DH is off during the summer, so we try to take a weekday to go do something with the kids once in awhile and avoid the crowds!
Awesome post, and I do the same.
Also, as far as TAT, that's why they shouldn't rely on just one IC to pick-up all of the work. If the MTSO wants to only use one or two people to do the work so that the TAT is met, then hire employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I feel way better and am so glad someone else agrees regarding the IC positions.
The MTSOs are free to abuse other MTs in this industry, but not me!!!!!!!! 
thats awesome to hear
I start on Monday - can't wait. I am so tired of not having any work. I have been sitting here all day with no work. I just checked and I have 10 reports, about 1 minute each in the system. I think I will let someone else get them. Not work the $10 or so!
ProType is AWESOME!!!!!NM
The work is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and pay is pretty darn good.
Awesome Idea!!!!!
I would love to have this info then I wouldn't t have to keep asking everyone
