Work for SPi now, prior CyMed...
and EVERY company has issues, you just have to figure out what issues are deal-breakers for you personally. SPi HAS started switching QAs around to all different accounts, but not sure about the MTs; however, on the few times that these accounts have run short of work for the MTs on them, they've had them actually doing QA! That's ONE position, at least, that you can guarantee you'll move up to if you're competent and want the move.
Their benefits are better and less expensive than CyMeds were, and vacation time is actually a bit better.
There are no yearly or scheduled raises with SPi.
My advice is to ask LOTS of questions BEFORE accepting either job with either company; you should also get EVERYthing in writing, AGAIN, do this BEFORE you accept either position...especially as relate to compensation, benefits, and work hours. :D Best of luck whatever you choose!
Spheris isn't the only company getting prior MQ work....sm
our company has also picked up several million dollars worth of business that MQ used to have because of the clients either having been overbilled by MQ or fears that they would be with all of the legal problems MQ is having. Other current MQ clients are getting bids for when their contracts expire so I expect the MQ "tumble" to continue.
Last year you needed Word 2003 to work for them. Prior to that, you used their machine

Prior complaints of low work loads and only short reports, so struggle to get lines. How about

They're probably Indian if you check into how to contact them. nm

They're kind of new. Offered 7.5 and 3 cpl for their eScription. Needed a 9-pin pedal. FT/IC only

You're blessed to get dictation you can hear clearly. I'm finding only garbage being offered l

I don't work there, but that's probably something you should contact them about
It would probably be more helpful to ask them directly about the discrepancy.
Work Contact
I work on Meditech so will get hospital emails -- generally, though I just hit the ground running and never hear anything :)

Can the happy MT at Stat-Med post a contact email for them? The 2 on their website don't work. An

Actually I have only done a few ops prior to OSi
I had mostly done MS clinic. I have worked in acute care before, but did everything but an occasional op. I have to say that ops are my favorite by far now. I was terrified to do them, but now I love them! You're right. It is easier to be negative than positive, but at the end of the day, every company has good and bad things. It may take searching, but there is a company out there for everyone I think. In work, as in life, you have to kiss a lot of toads to find a prince.
If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.
Don't work there, though was offered a position.
They do offshore work, though I caught them in a lie about it. The recruiter was IM someone the whole time she was talking to me, very distracting and rude I thought. They have a base pay, a shift differential, a level of difficulty of account, years of experience, etc., so pay range can very 2 to 3 cpl. I would never work for them.
prior response
Sorry. That was addressed to OP and MsAnonnie Mouse.
Offered job with Transtech today. If you work for TT....
what has your experience been like? I got all the answers I asked for regarding platform, hardware, work flow, schedules, benefits, incentive, DD and paydays. Everything sounds good. Insurance sounds more affordable than other places I have talked to and they also pay for 12 hours of training plus line rate. Please only respond if you currently work there more than 3 months or previously worked there for more than 1 year.
I work for Axoltol and have in the past been offered
a position with TransTech. I read on the board that TT does not pay for spaces. I don't remember from my interview whether they do or not The money wasn't that great at TT so I turned it down.
At Axoltol (work there and still can't spell their name but it rhymes with bottle) line rate is 2 cpl what TT offered me. There aren't production bonues, but there is OT. Benefits are excellent. Insurance is very good and cheaper than any I've seen anywhere. My DH works for an extremely large company and even his insurance isn't as inexpensive. Insurance starts the first day of the month after you are hired, so if you were to start today insurance would start May 1. Vision insurance is free, as is long/short-term disability.
They are rigid about your schedule. You get to set it, but then they expect you to stick to it, though if you need to go to the doctor or something there isn't a problem getting off. You are expected to to 1200 lpd/12,000 lines per pay period. Some days I have trouble doing 1200, but I do extra another day. Platform is very easy. One of the things I like most it shows how much you make per report, how much you make per day, how much per pay period, etc. I like to see the numbers. I have a goal each month and it motivates me to see the numbers going up. They provide equipment (even flat screen monitor). Company is still small but growing. They don't offshore.
QA is great, you can see corrected report and also relisten. You don't get to see old reports from other MTs.
I was worried about being more regimented in my schedule, but it has actually helped me to have more time to do the things I want to do. Instead of working a bit here and there I sit and get it done. I'm not tied to my chair, I still take breaks.
Can you tell I love my job?
you need to really look back to prior postings
This company has been flying all over this board even back in March. I think it goes further than disgruntled employees. Take a look at how their lead people handle these comments. They have badmouthed these employees horribly. Yes, companies will have unhappy employees and there will be some grumbling, but it clearly looks like a much bigger problem with Shapin. A lot of drama for low pay. I would have nothing to do with them and NOT for the grumbling of past employees, but for the obnoxious and crude way Shapin's management individuals conducted themselves!
I was offered a position editing offshore work that
was also Surprisingly good. I knew without being told that the work was being done offshore as it was not that good.
If I were to go to India, or any other non-English speaking company I would not be able to do the work either, but then I'm not trying to compete with native MTs. If I say I have a first rate product, then I need to be able to prove it and thus far I haven't seen it.
Once again OT offered - no work for my scheduled shift at Wbmdx. sm
I think OT is great, took advantage of some Friday myself, but for goodness sake, don't just go off for the weekend leaving OT offered when the counts are WAAAY down. Can the Solution Center take OT off or do they have to wait for supervisors/etc. to do so. When someone comes on for OT and they give them blocks of 10, doesn't take long to run the rest of us totally out of our shift. Love everything else about this company, but..... this sucks.
Low work?? Hmm - check backlog page - lots of OT offered right now. nm
Are you on the ChartMatrix side mebbe?
Apparently you missed the prior post.
AcuQuist based it's pay cut on an attempt to bring us in line with an average industry wage, part of their new mediocrity- not just for cheap wine policy. Therefore, being better, faster and more accurate, is not a desirable quality, and therefore we are being penalized for it.
I had knowledge of VR and pay rates prior to this job search.
When I was in school, all we focused on was straight typing and nothing was ever taught about VR - I graduated earlier this year. In my job search I'm really not seeing much about VR. The place I am now has four or five accounts and all of them are straight typing. As for the shortage of work, I am on the largest account in the company and the shortage is felt across the board. Even the supervisors are aplogizing to us for the shortage.
Oh well, for the meantime I will just see what is out there, test and interview if asked to and go on from there. For right now though I have a job at a place I like - it's better than nothing!
Anyone ever work/currently working for Medical Transcription Services, Green Bay, WI?? Offered..sm
new radiology account there, great people to correspond with, but info is extremely scarce....have a few offers to weigh.....anybody??? Merry Christmas! 
Insist on sample of prior reports, lots of them. Then when you see it, sm
you will say, Oh, so that is what he is saying. Then, put it in your expander. Phrases work the best for me, not normals. Phrases in the Expander for what each item these guys use. But you need to see lots of samples of prior reports.
Prior info said they take $300 out of your pay $50 at a time for something, rent or deposit. nm

I left a couple of months for the same thing. The prior
3 months I was lucky to get in 800 lines a day. I had a couple of days where I got maybe 4 reports. I would sit in front of my computer for 12 hours/day, checking every 5 minutes, and still couldn't get my lines with 3 different accounts.
They hire away ahead of time for new accounts and after training they have to do something with them until the account goes live so they put them on other accounts temporarily and then there isn't enough work for the regulars.
When I first started running out of work I watched the backlog report to see where an account might have a big backlog and there were 3 or 4 who were on OT most of the time, but when I asked to be put on one of those accounts I was told no. There were many days that it looked like half the accounts had a 0 backlog. Then they started hiring for 3-day weeks and 4-day weeks so there was no work on weekends to try to make up your lines/hours.
Prior posts say you need a C-phone & 2nd line, and that they follow BOS II guidelines very

ChartMatrix (TransHealth) has archived/quick access to prior reports. nm
I had posted that question right up under the original poster and prior to her post being answeredsm
Looks are deceiving and I AM paying attention.
The lazyMT was from a prior post about testing..NOT about my personal habits. I find it odd that you
would reply with someone so insignificant and to which no one cares about your opinion. You don't know me and you certainly have no idea if I am lazy in regards to my lifestyle habits so go back where you came from, troll..
Of course we're able to work - and do so every day.
.
Maybe they're the only ones who will work for
$.06-.08 cpl that I see being offered. Those of us with experience and excellent QA scores would never sell ourselves for that little. FWIW, I've had to correct QA on more than one occasion.
If you're looking to work right away...sm
I tested for Archivus at least a month ago. I got a response that said I did really well and that they were forwarding it on to HR. That was the last I heard. I had seen posts before that they didn't move very fast, but I had no idea it was quite this slow. Can't say much about the company, and not sure it's worth the wait, but I have moved on and gotten other employment.
You're right! And yes I do sit with no work too! nm
nm
Just wondering what they're like to work for.
Have you worked for them?
Can't work when you're scheduled
They have plenty of work but can't get into their system. They either have too many working or not enough.
You're too nice. I was going to tell her to go to work somewhere else - LOL

TT does not audit any work once you're off QA
nm
We're not hiring because work is low. Nothing to do
with what goes to Precyse International.
That's because you're an IC. For employees, NOT flexible. And no work. nm
no msg
Not a single DIME. We work for them, they're -
And $300 for a license fee? How do you spell S-C-A-M? My current company uploaded the necessary software from their computers to mine for FREE.
If that charge wasn't in the contract, talk to an attorney about it. I'd be willing to bet that what they did isn't legal.
Gad - they already gyp us in pay, and now they're 'double-dipping' by gypping us when we sign up? Absolutely incredible.
Been working there 2 days and they're already out of work. nm
If you're making yourself sick over no work
why not get another job instead of complaining about no work all the time? No job is worth getting stressed and sick over it.
Don't forget, TT is not the only company that has low/no work. Haven't you read the other posts on the other companies or do you just concentrate on putting TT down all the time?
Find another job, leave TT if it makes you so sick.
I also work for a company in Florida and we're running
low on work, just within the past 10 days. I know it's due to the hurricane though. My main account was in New Orleans and just isn't dictating and won't be for a while, I guess. They didn't dictate each day but when they did send work about 3 times a week, I could work for 2 straight days w/o running out of their work. I type a lot of lines each day and for me and the others on that account, we are now on our secondary and third accounts which takes takes work away from others.
