But overhire/lack of work for the past few months . . . nm
m
They will overhire and in 4 months you will have no work and will be broke - happened to me..nm
nm
I have to second that statement. Wish TT would not overhire during the summer months, as we get so
low on work now -- it is frightening to think about the summer months and then the holidays that follow. Ouch !
I love Keystrokes...been there for 3 months and couldn't ask for a better place to work...
nm
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
Not falling for this twice. These guys love to overhire.
nm,
Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling to get work -- sad. nm

My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm
xx
I have been there for 8 months now and still love it. sm
My insurance is about the same as with MQ, my rate is a little lower but my paychecks are much higher. I have one account and although it is a difficult one, it is one account and I am used to the doctors and very, very happy.
My pay is always on time and correct.
I was afraid to make a move but am thankful every day that I did!
been there about 6 months and love it!
sounds to me like with all the companies anymore it depends on your supervisor and your accounts. I am very happy at DSG! I am flexible and able to do several accts and have had no problems getting my lines; I also do almost all work types, which I think makes a difference.
good luck!
TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
You will love TransHealth. I have been there about 9 months.
Love it
I've been there 2 months now and love it!
So far, it is by far the best national I've worked for.
I love Amphion! I've only been there 2 months now....
but am very happy. They are extremely helpful. Any concerns I have had (which have been only minimal things) have been addressed very quickly. A week after I was on my account, I hadn't complained at all, but got an email from my boss that said they had decided that we had to do a little more info screen input so they were adding a 3% differential to my base pay for that account! The benefits are good. I would definitely consider them if I were you.
I had to test for Keystrokes...have been there for 3 months...love it...
nm
Why? No work, overhire, or new policy?
?
I do not think they overhire. Instead, they make sure that we have enough work. sm
I don't Meditech. I like it actually. It really is just straight typing!
Don't do it. Pay is low. They overhire and work is low constantly.
nm
Only there a year. They OVERHIRE. Out of work...
Other than that, they're great.
There are a lot of people who do and it seems that most love working there. I started 6 months ago
and have no complaints at all. It is refreshing to work for a company that treats employees as individuals, not just a number. I also like that they do not send work offshore and that I only have one main account. I do have 2 back-up accounts, but have never worked on them after training. I am lucky that my main account is very busy, too busy most of the time!
Keystrokes does not overhire. There has been so much work on my account sm
that they are begging for overtime (and paying 1-1/2 times normal rate for it which is better than other companies that I have worked for!). One thing that no one can say about Keystrokes is that they overhire. They make sure we all have enough work before hiring more on an account. Yes, I have talked the owner about it so I got that information direct.
Also, I think the above poster is right. I think Becky is one of the owner's right-hand persons, her and Karen both. They are both very helpful, as is Jen who answers the phones and a few others.
They could get rid of the IS manager and a lot of us would have a party. She is horrible to deal with but I think is related to Lee or Jeff because she has been there a long time!
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
Overhire, inconsistent work flow..Been there doing that. Cant afford to stay.
Need I say more..
Just started with DSG not too long ago and finding a shortage of work right now. Do they overhire
sometimes or what. Seems it goes in spells. Anyone seeing the same thing right now. This started before the holiday time.
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
PS who is struggling
It is true there are a couple not so great ROMs, believe me I could name you 2 right now BUT, you don't have to deal with them - simply ask for another account. They have many accounts to put you with a better fit and one that you will be happy with. I know many more ROMs that are just the best of the best and you would love them and work would be a joy. There is very little cherry picking going on, I am sure less than 5% across the board. I still prefer the smaller company though where everyone is former MT's - and not on a power quest and step all over you.

Your are right, I am not struggling NOW
I am working, my husband is working but I have worked long and hard in the past and just today got my first check from social security for working all that time in the past, the most 4 jobs at 1 time. I have now put in 48 years worth of work and still counting. I have paid my dues totally for me and some others. I still work because I love transcription. I have been where others are perhaps now, living on potatoes and beans each week to feed a family. I lived through it and could do again if I had to. If you can tell me what I can do NOT to pay bills, I will be glad to listen because I still have them to pay. Oh, my dinner out was the soup and salad at Olive Garden. Most know how much that costs, no drink, no appetizer.
I am so sorry for you and everyone who is struggling. nm

poor and struggling
I feel for you; I am right there with you. BTW, my name, Fatcat, has to do with the fact that I am fat, not an allusion to being rich, ha ha. We live mostly on lentils and rice, sometimes hamburger once in a while if it is on sale. Please do not feel that you are alone. There are many of us in this same boat. I recently took on a second job just to be sure I always had work to support my family. God bless you. Hang in there.
Anyone else struggling to even make a $200 paycheck from Futurenet? sm
They are a great company but the work is bare. Very, very bare. I cannot even make enough to do anything with. Have they overhired? This has been going on for months. I hate to leave but I cannot put my family through this anymore. We depend on my income greatly. Anyone else have these issues?
it would only hurt those struggling to make their line count
It could endager their job. If they need just 45 minutes extra a day to meet their count, what does it hurt? No one said you have to work more hours. You could always opt out of working longer than 8 hours.
I agree, whoever you are, you deserve to be happy with any job, not constantly struggling.
The reason we have these boards is we need each other, that is my reason. It is a God given right that we deserve to be happy and not be taken advantage of, be kind to other people, and PASS IT ON!
I dislike the platform and am struggling to make minimum
line counts. The IT department said platform issues are being worked on but won't be resolved anytime soon. Work is sporadic on many accounts, may not be work during your shift, but you still have to make up the time and you're expected to accept it. You may/may not get a backup account.
You get e-mails that threaten they will have to offshore if accounts can't stay within TAT, which makes me think it is already in the works.
Benefits are good, but they don't make up for not being able to make lines.
I think they are definitely better than some companies I have worked for, but every breath I take I'm in tears because I hate it so much.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this
.
Is there anyone else struggling to get the lines needed at Transcend for medical insurance? sm
Or is it just me??  TIA
I work for them and have for about four months. They are sm
absolutely wonderful to work for. The kind of company that really cares. And the pay is always on time. I can't say enough good about them.
I have had no work for months.
They keep saying they will e mail me about more but never do. I wrote several times and asked if I should give up, is there anything wrong, they say no, but then there is still no work. I am supposedly working there but have had 0 dollar paychecks many many paycycles. Sorry yours is so low, but at least they are giving you something. Good luck to you.
low on work since Nov.? 9 months,
Wellll something is not right. Surely they keep track of lines done by the MTs, I'm sure they have seen a drop (if no work as is reported) Where is it then. Something missing here. One poster said asked and was never responded to? Something wrong.
Work now but there won't be in a few months...sm
They do their annual overhire this same time every year while there is work. In about 3 months there won't be enough work to meet minimum line requirements. You only receive PTO if you meet minimum line requirement, which has been very hard to do lately. No work, no PTO.
Huge employee turnovers and struggling to get your lines seems to be a common theme.. No thanks.
I think I'll pass on that. I have worked for a hospital before and I never had to pay for any physical, background checks etc..
maybe - there was lack of work when I was there 4 months ago
nm
also, ran out of work a few times in those 3 months
nm
I have plenty of work, too, and been there 6+ months.
I've rarely, if ever, run out, and if so, it's only been for an hour or two.
You the person that goes around trashing them on the boards, periodically?
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on. I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
2 Months There--ENOUGH! Only work you'll get plenty of there..sm
 Was there less than 2 months. The only work you'll get plenty of there is unpaid work, demographics, looking up names the dictator won't spell... if you complaint about the above, they'll terminate your contract. Thus, hard to get line count...there is little of that!
Left 3 months ago for lack of work
and haven't looked back. It is just the nature of the beast than when a network of accounts change to VR and MTs are doing more lpd now, there will be less work to spread around. There were already problems with not having enough work, so I did not wait for the transition to VR I had already moved down over the previous year from full time to part time because of lack of work. Glad I made the move because I am also the sole breadwinner for my household and can't afford to go without work.
Doesn't explain why the work has been so low for 6 months.
It only makes sense in the context of this week. Hope WX is not about to MDI us.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!
x
I have worked for them for about six months. They're great! Work is always there and sm
pay is always on time. They're very nice to work with, too.
I did not continue to work for them, but have not recieved a check and it has been 2 months already.
