Keystrokes-disorganized accounts, broken promises, moody owner
.
Yes, sad reality we have here. Again, I saw broken promises and expectations. That's the name of
this game. How I wish it were different. If someone is luckily enough to have a decent job, it is either good pay, expensive insurance or bad pay, cheap insurance. You just cant wish. The only way to get 12 cpl is to get your own accounts, which is sometimes a pain too.
Never talked to the owner? No wonder you have not had broken promises. Consider yourself lucky!
.
Broken promises, messed up pay, endless drama. Good riddance!

No promises of work
whatsoever, when asked, what are you expectations for work, answer was I have no expectations. How does that sound?
How about promises for work?
I was promised an account with loads of work that I was suited for. It never came about. Their book is fine, if you work in the office. My best move was getting out.
very disorganized, no work, low pay
spare yourself the agony!
After one week of working for them, I notified them about my wish to terminate the contract (2 wks notification required). After completing the full 3 wks (luckily I found a good company to work for!), I sent them invoice for (whatever little available) work done amounting to $65 (hahaha! what a joke!!!) and still have not received any payment...
Don't waste your time and talent.
Great bennies but extremely disorganized and out of work a lot. nm

Disorganized. If you aren't the favorite, then forget it. Never enough work
so you can work your schedule. But if you don't get your line count, you are expected to do whatever it takes to make it. Keep looking -- there are better companies out there. not to mention you'll get talked about behind your back
Busy does not mean disorganized. I would rather work for a busy company sm
than one with no work. I started with Keystrokes 3 months ago and it is the best thing I ever did. I have a steady paycheck and plenty of work.
Broken hearted
Well, hence my ID name, Happy MQer, I am becoming an unhappy MQer with all this info I read about what others are making. It really is frustrating to me. Makes me feel like crap. I know I am a low producer, usually only getting between 4000 to 5000 lines per pay, but still, I find it very unfair. The sad thing is that I really LOVE working for them.
sorry for my broken message.. sm
I meant that is where a lot of work is going at the place I work now. If they are run by Indians, why not send the work that way instead of constantly running ads here? Dumb question huh? 
So much for promises! Must not
x
They outsource to India. Broken down
a lot of times. Management stinks. Its better now with team leaders, but the top dogs are really low class nasty and payroll person is worst there is. Support from office and from the computer end of it is horrible. And don't count on 9 cpl. My friend and I got stuck at 8.5 and now they will not give raises. Accounts are horrible.
You sound like a broken record!
In every single one of posts you say the same things over and over. You sound like a cynical know-it-all.
I agree..promises not kept..sm
they promise hourly pay during training and then give you a few hours over the phone and you're on your own for production rate. Didn't like the bulky platform either.
Cindy, you sound like a broken record, over and over and over
again. If I were management, would I not be throwing a name out there to get people on? Have you even done VR or are you 1 that is spewing out things you know nothing about? If you call my making around 20,000 little over a year big money, then you need to return to school and take math again. The problem with most on here is that they will sit around and wait for the work to trickle in to them rather than go out to get a job.I know the work situation is not the best in the world now but even before now I read where I have children and therefore cannot leave my house. The MTSOs probably know this, anyone can read this board. I had an old boss to read my postings before when I wrote against her company so I know they do. The money will continue on a downward spiral and basically the MTs here are just sitting back and waiting for it to happen. I would love to make what I did in the 80s/90s but those are times in the past for me. Thank goodness I do not have to make the big amounts as before but then I have worked so long now have social security coming in. Laughing when you say management, yeh with short term memory problems here!
Platform great...promises not met
I disagree..The platform EXText is great and I do it for another company now. However, promises were not met as I referred 2 MTs to Medware and did not receive referral money promised by the recruiter. Also, too many accounts to have to switch from one to another because there is never enough work, as I stated in my last post. I would not recommend MedWare. Good luck to you in your search. :)
I wouldn't do it if I were you. Promises that never come true! nm

Most companies fall short on their promises
either in the interview or in the first few weeks of employment. Just like any small business, things are more likely to go sour in the beginning and not the end (usually). I have been through bait and switch with work and expectations in regards to scheduled time worked because I am an IC. This is my biggest pet peeve.
I've been doing this for 19+ years.
My first SE job: Dangled a job at a time and IM'd me literally to death. I had to give it up. My nerves were frazzled.
My first employee job: Was wonderful, but I had a death in the family and had to give it up during the training phase - couldn't commit. I was executor and decision maker. When I went back a few weeks later to begin training, the company had changed my days to work - so I couldn't commit. So whose fault is that?
My online job I've had for over a year now and is wonderful. They know the true meaning of IC.
I have my own accounts that I've had for 10+ years and one new account that was a physician from an on-site job that I had and liked my work. He's an ESL and begged me even when I really didn't want to have to pick-up tapes.
Another company I have been in contact with through a friend's recommendation is now on the job board needing help, but told me they were only looking for acute care, so.......... Do I go there yet once more? This would be an IC job.
Your post is long, but I can tell you this: You will have a hard time finding companies that pay, are willing to give you a steady stream of work, and come through on what is promised.
As far as the company providing HR and equipment, they should. I test for free, I train for free, and I study and learn new accounts for free until I've built up production. No one is that productive on a new dictator from day one especially mixing that with learning a new platform.
So, yes job-hoppers are there, but what can we call MTSOs that advertise and then not come through in the end for us MTs? I guess there are no names for that......... What do we call an MTSO that treats us like employees, but pay us low wages as an IC?
I love my job! 
They started looking in 2007. No promises. Now it is a reality and yes, they are paying half. sm
They always come through. Why do you tell lies on here? They are the best out there and those of us that are there and have been a while know that.
I used to work for Precyse and...
they are a good company. They weren't for me because I am used to working my own schedule. They require you to work specific hours (usually you can choose them) and I just couldn't do it with 2 small kids. (If something comes up you can e-mail them and make up the time later.)
They provide all equipment. Their QA staff is really great - positive and helpful. You will most of the time get your QA stuff back within a few hours - always within 24 hours. Their platform is easy to use. I worked on quite a few accounts while I was there and they were all pretty decent. One had some crummy ESLs as the majority, but I didn't work on it much so can't say if it would have gotten better with time and adjustment on my part. (I usually adjust just fine to ESLs - these were mumblers as well)
They do have good benefits and you can accumulate PTO, which you can use at any time you wish - all or part of it. So if you just need extra money one pay period, you can ask them to add it on. You can also check your balance of PTO at any time. Also, they have direct deposit and pay is always on-time - without exception. They also mail you your stub and it always came exactly on time. Also, the payroll person is very accessible for any questions, etc. She even sent an e-mail out to us once because the paystubs (direct deposit was already in the bank) were late and she wanted to apologize - she had used a different post office.
The other thing that was a drawback for me, but you may not mind, is they do send out a lot of e-mails with account updates, asking for help, etc. That's not so bad but it was 3-4 time daily thing and they started getting to me. However, they do also offer bonuses quite regularly and other incentives too. They do believe in motivation and recognition for those that go the extra mile.
Also, they do quarterly reviews and do value quality work.
They are a good company overall. I know you will see various opinions on this board about them, but the only 2 negatives for me were as above - the e-mails and the set hours. Honestly, though, if it weren't that I was so bogged down with my children's schedules, I would have stayed with them. If you can handle those things, then the positives outweigh the negatives.
I work for Precyse
I have worked for Edix and Medquist in the past and Precyse is definitely a cut above those 2. It is a smaller company, but they are very good to work for and ....get this....they actually value their MTs! They don't call you MTs or staff, but colleagues. Everyone is respected equally here. I have owned my own business and have worked for the other large nationals listed above, and feel that I have found my home. I think you will be very pleased with Precyse. Their platform is web based, called Correct Type (Precyse calls it PrecyseType, but it is the same web-based program we used at MQ). Very user friendly. Staff of Precyse is excellent. It is not an easy company to get a job with, so if you have been offered a position, go for it! I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Precyse - no work
Is this typical? I have only 2 accounts and never have enough work. I have asked twice for an extra account with no response back. Their TAT seems very quick so I'm wondering if they over-hire so they meet TAT and we sit here with nothing to do. Haven't been here even a month but certainly can't afford this.
I *do* work at Precyse and most of the work is going to India
Is there consistent work at MDI-Fl, Precyse, or

Is there always lots of work at Precyse? Do they do
nm
Anybody work for Precyse Solutions?
Any feedback from their employees or ex-employees would be appreciated. Thanks.
They still seem to be disorganized from what I can tell, but
I didn't have any of the particulars as far as pay, etc. Their test was a killer though.
Very disorganized...just me...nm
nm
Still very disorganized. sm
IMHO, there are some pretty big problems especially in the communications department. They do pay on time and you probably would have enough work if you asked for more than one account. But I think they should have some hard internal come-to-Jesus meetings and get organized before they take on more accounts and more people.
If you work for Precyse now, try calling the help desk, if not sm...
If you're not with Precyse now, you work on one of their PCs with everything already loaded. My best guess would be to say "no, you can't use a laptop", but I never had to use one, so don't quote me on that.
Hope this helps some 
Is it hard to get lines at Precyse? Does work run

How is the work flow at Precyse these days? Is it
nm
Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm

Precyse QA does not edit the overseas work. QA
out.
The point is that they are disorganized
and unprofessional....
that is the point, not that the recruiter was out to get her but that the recruiter is lazy and incompetent and too lazy to come up with a better excuse or a better way of presenting the position.
Very disorganized company. nm

I had the same experience, very disorganized - sm
I had to wait about 6 weeks for my first check, that alone made me nervous but I did get paid w/o issue every 2 weeks after the initial wait. I only used C-phone and word though no platform. Agree with the bad QA, nice enough people though very, very disorganized.
They seem to be terribly disorganized, trying to
change procedures, added new staff, adding lots of new accounts and I guess they are just overloaded. I would definitely recommend a phone call. Usually after that things get rolling.
This company is very, very disorganized.
They seem to be very nice people, but they really need to evaluate the way they do things and put a checks and balances system in place so that people don't fall through the cracks. I was in disbelief at the experience that I had with Keystrokes. I just moved on.
One should not have to keep reminding a company that they have hired you and that you need to get started. Unbelievable. I am not bashing...just sharing my opinion of this company.
Very disorganized. I worked for them for like a
They owner will IM you to death for 8 hours straight. Yes, IM is a requirement. Meditech was the platform, which is horrible.
They are ok. Kind of disorganized but
x
VERY disorganized company.
The supervisors are not MT's and it's hard to get any information. I have a second interview Tuesday elsewhere and will be moving on.
Not only disorganized but I found
less than knowledgeable. Based on her answers to my questions I concluded she had no experience as an MT which didn't sit well with me as I think she also doubled as the transcription supervisor also. Based on my interview and then prior posts about this company regarding QA issues, platform and dictators I decided to keep looking as I didn't get a feeling there would be stability with this company.
Precyse rate was good but they were always running out of work.
nm
They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services. As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending. All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company. I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down. The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same. I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again.
I think they use different programs, very confusing and disorganized
nm
When I was there a year ago, they were VERY disorganized but still micromanaged and
:+
MDI-FL, very disorganized. Agree with poster (sm)
They get nasty at MDI-FL and answers to questions ignored if they don't like the question being asked. Paid time off is NEVER correct and good luck getting the time listed on the stub. Work flow is hit and miss. They order you off and then back on with VR accounts. Pay and insurance benefits are better than most if you tolerate their demands and disrespect.
Do you find it a very disorganized company?
