They are hiring like crazy now because they have several new accounts coming on, so I would go ahead and apply. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

old posts from last year...
are not to pleasing, though. Can anyone verify the pay, management, etc?
plenty of posts from this year.sm
yes, run out of work sometimes, but mostly have more than enough. Very flexible. Pay always on time. MTs treated just fine.
Yes, yes and yes - been there a year - love it

About a year and I love TT
Been with KS a year and LOVE it!
It was the best move I ever made!
Might have to use THEIR puter, 1200 lpd. Posts from last year say pay is very low. nm

I can only find negative posts about them from last year. nm

I read some posts a year or so back (sm)
that it was a husband/wife operation - that the wife was super nice and very easy to work for - no comment positive or negative on the husband that I can recall - that they usually always got paid on time but there was that little bit about being paid when client paid - which is a little scary - I'm of the firm belief that a company - large or small - should have enough cash flow to pay their people - that is running a little too close to the edge for me - but if it is a good company and great platform, good docs - I might try them someday.
I have had Vonage for over a year now and love it.sm
Why hassle with phone calls when you can order it all online at Vonage.com? That's what I did and had no problems. I sympathize, though. I hate when I call and get misinformation, put on hold forever, or some other aggravation.
I have been there for 1 year now...love the account I'm on but....(sm)
this summer my account was running low on several occasions. I have been trying to get a second account since July and I can't get one. I would be making great money there too if I had a backup account. Today I had a grand total of 543 lines, yesterday was 948. I can't live on that so if it doesn't improve I will have to look elsewhere. I love the place too and do NOT want to leave but obviously I need more than 543 lines in a day.
I have been with Keystrokes for a year now and I love it...
I love my account...my leads are helpful and I have as much work as I want...best move I ever made was coming to work for Keystrokes...Good luck!!!

Thank you DR - love christmas with you every year. sm
Once again - DR has provided a nice Christmas bonus in time for last minute shopping. I know you have to be there for so long to get it, but not sure how long. This has got to be the best company ever. I don't see other people posting about nice bonuses - usually cheesy gifts. TY Diskriter, you really do care.
Ditto! I have been there one year on 7/30. Love it!! sm
I am making more than ever and making more every day. It is an awesome compny, tons of work. :-)
Heck, no, lol. Didja read my posts. Taken 2 year to
how I actually DO my work. Just cause this is my fit doesnt mean it would fit you. Jobs are not one size fits all. And anyway, personally I think there are already too many on this acct. But then, dont all of us feel that way about our accts, lol.
I love your posts - I'm learning from them...sm
Thank you again for taking the time to type this very informative post. These types of posts actually help many people, I do believe. Like you, I do all my own MTSO work and have not yet had to farm any out. My MDs are great in that they all pay me by the 15th of the following month. I pretty much demand that because the work is all back in their offices by the 30th or 31st of that prior month....so wanting to get paid by the 15th of the following month is reasonable. I am sorry for your delinquent client but my docs know I only bill out once a month and that cuts down on the billing part of being an MTSO.
What I HATE about being an MTSO....is all those receipts you have to keep all year long...but it's not the keeping of the receipts, it's the TAX PREP that we face within the next 6-12 weeks....oh what a mess that always is....not a mess - but so time consuming that I do hire someone to do that clerical stuff to get things ready for the TAX people......my daughter is the one I hire (and yep, I do pay her well to do that part of the work).
Again, thank you so much for your informative posts. Be well....
Posts from last year don't shed a positive light on them, no matter where

Have they changed their awful platform? Posts from last year said it was terrible! nm

That is like asking how long is a string. Top line is whatever you can get.
check out 02/12/2009 string
which is on about page 4 or 5 of this board right right now. Posts claiming to be from MDI MTs who say their accounts are going to VR this weekend. Post by C. Buckley not addressing the VR issue. MDI seems to be holding its cards pretty close to the vest, and if your particular account is not involved, you may not be notified until it is. Better to know ahead of time while you have time to do something about it?
See my post above...I love to read posts like yours!
I'm ecstatic to be on board with Transtech and reading posts such as yours from long-term TT'ers makes me smile that I'm part of the team now as well.
I love how a single MT posts for "most of us" for any particular sm
company. Speak for yourself, not for others - applicable to any company, not simply this one.
I just love it when management posts on this board.
either since there is no work. LOL too funny.
I love relevant, current references in posts.

Post should be under Janis Reed string
It jumped down here. Oops
That is like asking how long is a piece of string. No text
You still looked didn't you.
I remember some posts at the beginning of the year from a lady who didn't get paid - she was stea
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Posts from April said everyone gets 8.5 cpl/newbie or experienced. Recent posts said

Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

A few posts about them about 3/4 of the way down this page between the DSG & Diskriter posts. nm

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
Have been with them for over a year...sm
and have no complaints. Pay is always on time and they have direct deposit. I have rarely ran out of work on my main account, but when I do I have a backup account to work on. There are incentives offered often as well. I don't see a high turnover rate...the reason they are hiring new MTs is because they have new accounts. Good luck in your job search!
Been on it for over a year and
still struggling. My lines went from 1,500 to 2,000 a day down to 800 to 1,000 if I am lucky. Still haven't found the courage to quit :(
Yes, they were. This year and I believe one other year. nm
Last year
Last year when I worked there I live in Texas and had BCBS of Tennessee through them since they are located in TN. Just FYI. Good luck!
Well over a year..nm
xx
first year pay
I was lucky to make 15000 the first year.
I am making it now but hard in the beginning.
Wow, a year?
 That's great!! I know of one that is $3000.00! You have a great deal there.
