I do sometimes run out of work. So far, I only have 2 accts, but it seems when my primary is out, so is my secondary, so I'll be trying to pick up more accts. Compared to my past work, I do not find that they have high ESL, pretty normal. I am a level 4. I think they may have 5 levels. Pay seems okay, even better than most. Good luck.

I just started on eScription and it's pretty good. Higher than the last place I was
at. Starting base at 4 cpl, which is 1 cpl higher than I was making at TTS.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
OSi, pretty good to work for (sm)
But the insurance is expensive at least for family coverage. Work flow goes up and down, it just depends on the account. They give secondary accounts if primary account runs low. Everyone there is really helpful and nice for the most part.
QT is not a good place to work IMO

Not a good place to work. sm
They screw you over and don't pay very well. I would stay clear of them!!!!
Look, I think TT is probably a very good place to work. But
There was a legit question about line-counter software at TT, and they are not addressing it. Of course it makes for paranoia. As someone pointed out elsewhere, it's a business, not a social club. Nice is, well, nice, but my lines have been cut to death over the last few years, and, yes at this point I'd want an accounting, too. I don't even think TT is truly trying to rip anyone off, but it does seem like a bad PR and business practice. If the lines are calculated correctly, why not fix it so it's transparent and it's a win/win for everyone?
It IS bringing back some bad memories from the Q, when things were really exploding with some very serious, valid issues and posters were belittled when they tried to point them out. It is an awful thing to be invalidated by your peers.
There are some at TT who seem like they ARE being very petty and need a reality check, and there are some who seem that they have been so wounded elsewhere that they would forgive any MTSO anything just so someone will be nice to them. Like any service (and any forum), there will be nay-sayers and there will be cheerleaders, and the truth will be somewhere in the middle.
I think KS is still a good place to work. They
have 4 different platforms that I know of. I think how much you like an account depends on what you worked on before coming to KS, how bad the company was you came from, what your expectations are of the company/account, etc. If you came from SPI, MQ, or OSi (where things seem to be horrendous based on posts) then KS is probably the best place in the world.
While it isn't the place I think I'll end my career, I would still recommend them.
good place to work
I am an IC and have worked for them for about 4 years. It was much better when it was MDI. They were much nicer and easy to work for. Now it seems money is the main objective (theirs). They always pay on time and live up to their part of the bargain as far as I know. The IC's are treated like step-children or worse now. We used to at least get a Christmas card, but no more. Nada. Hope this helps someone make up his/her mind. There are probably none much better.
good place to work?
pay, benes, etc?
Oracle is a pretty good company to work for but,
their home-grown software makes it difficult to get a good line count.
The work flow is pretty good. It gets low around the end of the pay period. sm
I work on the DSG-2 side and the sound is pretty good. Rumor has it we will be getting a new account soon but I don't know that for sure.
Deventure is not a good place to work
QED pays weekly. Not a great place to work though; neither is Deventure.
Amphion just seemed like a good place to work
I don't like to job hop and between the 2 Amphion seemed better but I have misgivings now and afraid I will be let go. Do they let people go if they don't meet the line requirements?
DTS is not a good place to work. Very unorganized. sm
They have offices in Nashville and Carlsbad, I know. I was all hyped to work for them but it was such a disappointment. They kept losing my paperwork and were adamant about your hours worked. The recruiter was horrible, but now they have the former SPI recruiter, so who knows? The manager was ridiculous. Not far, very nasty tempered.
Very good place to work. When I worked there
I was paid $0.10 Canadian per line with spaces. That was before the US dollar went below the Canadian dollar. I think they hire mostly US MT's as there aren't enough in Canada. I think you can also get employee status there. Great bunch of people. I would highly recommend them.
Wow...sounds like a good place to work.
Sounds like they made it worthwhile.
Is Proveros a good place to work?
Does anybody think this is a good company to work for? Are they worth putting in a long term investment of time? Do they pay fair and on time? Good/bad accounts, run out of work? I was just wondering if anyone had any information and//or thoughts to share.
Any suggestions for a good place to work?
Does anyone have any suggestions concerning a good place to work for a Transcriptionist with 13 years of experience? This is my 4th day out of work this week - my company is now outsourcing to India, and USA-based transcriptionists are apparently being forced out by attrition. Any suggestions appreciated - thanks in advance.
It sounds like a good place to work..
which is why they are at the top of my very short list. I also am a long-time MQer and the thought of leaving is a little depressing, but it has gotten to the point where I have no choice. p.s. Glad to hear you were treated well, and that everyone is doing okay. : )
Agreed. It's a good place to work. nm

Webmedx is a good place to work and has PT as well as FT. sm
Good luck in your search.
MDI is a good place to work. Depending on what account you get.... see msg
Some accounts are slightly overstaffed and there is less work but I know other accounts are swamped. Their benefits are comparable to other companies. Line count is reasonable and I like working there. The staff is really nice. Just like every company, what works for someone else may not work for you etc.. so go with your best judgement. They have been good to me so that is all I can speak for. Can I ask who else has offered you a job??
Dean Clinic - Not a good place to work. sm
The department supervisor treats employees like dirt, unless you jump the minute she screams or threatens you. They are making things extremely difficult for the long-time people so they quit, and don't have to pay benefits. Quite a few already have since the first of the year. Anyone thinking about going in there had better turn and run fast, no matter what you may be promised. It's not a good place to work.
Posts from the last 2 yrs said not a good place to work. Lots of MTs
s
Well, I HOPE they're a good place to work...
... since I worked for TRS and thus got acquired by Transcend when TRS did.
Interestingly... when I was job-hunting about 7 months ago, I basically read every entry in the MT Companies section of another forum (M T Chat)looking for companies that got good reviews. Because it got very good reviews there, Transcend was the second-to-last company I applied to, just before TRS. At that time, Transcend was only testing for acute care (my 36 years of clinical in multiple specialties wasn't good enough, I guess) so they told me no thanks. And now they've got me anyway.
I am still reserving judgment because the merger only happened 2 weeks ago; and I am still working on my same accounts, under the same supervisors, on the same platform, so there have been no visible changes as yet....
Pretty good
They are really flexible on my shift. I am working a split shift until school starts in the fall. But, all in all I think I like getting my shift done in one setting. The hospital that I work has very few ESLs too. I am happy so far. I would recommend them to work for.
Pay is pretty good but.....
I worked for them for about 2 months (all I could handle). The pay was decent (I was getting 8.5) but the account I worked was completely horrible. So many ESLs that you could never make production. They were not the nicest people either. Not much help with problems and little to no flexibility in scheduling. It just was not for me. I think that there are a lot of people who like them and that is great. It just was not the right fit for me.
Seem to be pretty good.
Benefits are decent. Family coverage is under $500. Acute care pay is good. Clinic not the best, but not the worst either. VR pay hasn't been worked out yet. Great supervisor (at least mine was). Mandatory OT was my only downfall. Overall, pretty decent to work for, though I have only had 1 other employer, so not much to compare to.
I am pretty good with the PC, but now you
What a joke! You grow up! My main course of duty is the content of the frikkin report and not whether or not my PC is compatible with your crappy MT software that you swear is MT friendly! Cut me a frikkin' break!
Okay, I'm done.
Amphion pretty good, uh?
Do they let you work 6 hours a day if you can get 2200+ lines a day -- instead of 8 hours to be considered full time status? If not, do you know who does?
Company is pretty good except...
for the last several weeks there has been a problem with work shortage on several of the accounts on the new platform. When you have four accounts you work on and you have no work that kind of makes you wonder. Other than that, the people are very nice, the pay is decent, and they have good benefits. For me it is just the work load issue. They say they have not overhired, but just makes you wonder. I think you made good decision, just make sure they give you more than one backup account, as I have no idea what platform they hired you for or what accounts.
What is the pretty good grapevine?
Quit trying to stir up trouble and post your sources that are so great.
Interesting. She's actually been pretty good to me
I'd follow her somewhere new if I had the offer.
For someone not trying to be a smart A, you did a pretty good job of it anyway. sm
Showing that they care means not ignoring my requests for a third account. I have worked other places and had up to 4 accounts and when work was low, I was still able to make 2000 lines a day by bouncing back and forth between all of them.
Sending me an email ackowledging that volume is low, that the servers have down, etc., is all very nice as far as keeping me informed, but it does not pay my bills.
I wasn't asking for sympathy, but I also wasn't asking for your meanspirited retort. I merely vented here a bit, thinking (mistakenly) that I was among peers who would understand the panic that I feel.
Pretty good company
aside from their pea green web-site.
As Tidewater they were pretty good
After they went to Imedx, a lot of the work went offshore. If you do work for them, be prepared to be pulled off your account at any time...be it that you find out you were just filling in and they never told you that, the work is going to the new system and is no longer available, etc. Used to pay by direct deposit, but that was very frequently not there when it was supposed to be.
Overall they are pretty good but they could improve
the payroll department. Seems to be a lot of errors, you get your lost money eventually but they seem to take their sweet time about it.
Their pay rate is pretty good........
BUT they do tend to run out of work. Everyone that I know, myself included, got started at 10 cpl for typing, 5 cpl for voice recognition. The PROBLEM is you do run out of work too often and they REQUIRE you to clock out when out of work and sit at your keyboard waiting for work. It is possible that you could work 8 hours and make only 20 bucks. So.....if the work was there I guess you could make a good living, but my personal opinion is not so much considering their work flow.
I have a pretty good idea but
let the brilliant Millie from below answer that. She's your TT gal.
And if they're *pretty darned good* right now,
when you and you coworkers fix it so they're PERFECT, who's going to be editing these reports then?
Perhaps a better question is from what country will these people be editing these reports?
MDI florida, pretty good benefits,
transcription super, Debbie, very easy to work with, down-to-earth. Pay 10 cpl if you have Meditech experience for acute care/radiology. Saw in one post where they were willing to train. Worth looking into. I work for them, good company so far.
Pretty good from what I've heard...
A friend of mine works for them. Said they are strict on accuracy and line counts but are also somewhat flexible in schedule.
That's a pretty good glimpse at how they operate. SM
Very unorganized.
I have been with co for a long time. I have it pretty good, but new
xx
Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.
Webmedx has pretty good benefits sm
The benefits at Webmedx are pretty good. You are eligible for benefits after 90 days. I am paying about $400 per month for a family plan for health, dental, and vision. The coverage is pretty good for general visits and pharmacy, but there is either a $1000 or $2000 deductible (depending on which plan you choose) for hospitalization, after which insurance pays 80% and you pay the rest. There is also a deductible for certain medical supplies. My son is a type 1 diabetic and we have to pay a $1000 deductible for his insulin pump supplies. Not the best insurance that I've ever had, but it is much cheaper than what my husband can get through his work (he would have to pay $1000 per month in premiums for a family plan).
This sounds like a pretty good deal, especially if....sm
you are making $$. You can always contribute to an IRA that will be tax deductible at end of year. Sometimes going to a company for the benefits doesn't pay off - ask me: I tried it twice in the past month, only to quit both jobs after about 1 payroll period as it became obvious that they either didn't know how to do payroll correctly, or that the lines weren't correct (even though they claimed to pay for hdrs/footers/spaces etc!).
I would sure like to know where you work - I'm an EXText-er myself and want just PT. Care to share???? Thanks!!
Hey, wages were even still good 5 years ago, now pretty much gone. nm

Not a good place
I had a 30-second interview and was told my team leader would be contacting me. He never did. It took me DAYS to get somebody to send me the account specifics, samples, etc., and it was never management who did it, it was a lady I met on here who faxed me what she had. They throw you in there head first without the information you need. They promise bonuses if you don't take a day off and make production...well I never ever saw it EVER. Right before I left they sent out an email saying there would be none for that particular period because they didn't make enough profit. The account managers get paid based on how many lines we do and if the account stays current, so expect constant emails from them saying how they didn't make anything this pay period and there are bills to pay, etc.
Insurance: The one person doing insurance is something else. You get a big packet in the mail and you have to figure out yourself which you are eligible for, what percentage for life insurance, etc. If you email him and ask him about anything, he doesn't answer. I had been there 5 months and still did not have insurance cards for insurance I had been paying for all along. I had to go to the top person in the company to get him to email me back. He just doesn't do anything.
QA: There were 2 on the accounts I worked on. One was pretty nice and helpful but extremely overworked. It was actually her who told me what I needed to know regarding account specifics because the first two months I was there, I never so much as got an email from my account manager. The other one once sent me an email telling me I needed to go back to school and how STUPID the mistakes were and turns out it wasn't even MY report!!! I called her on it and told her that is NOT the way to talk to people, especially new hires who have no information to start with. She was just on a huge power trip and talked to people like dogs. Had I been the actual person she meant to email and talked to like that, I would have been gone right then and there.
PLATFORM: It's okay when it works. When tech support, and I use that term loosely, installed it on my computer, he wiped out my Stedman's that was associated with my MSWord. Years of adding gone!! You don't get paid for what you have to fill in on the header page. It froze up a lot and sometimes would get stuck on all caps. It was very very slow. I had to highlight and copy every single report because 2 out of 3 times, it would freeze and I would lose it and the backup retrieval feature didn't work.
The accounts were very good, best I've had, but a combination of the management, system, etc., just wasn't worth the trouble. They would tell us the profit margin was low and then send out an email with pictures of them partying somewhere, patting themselves on the back for the work their MTs do. You never got a thank you for anything. A bunch of the management members are married and/or related to each other which would be fine if anybody had experience. Our account was assigned a 21-year-old manager who had never done this type of work before. I don't think you should manage people if you can't do the work yourself. I would send her mistakes in the automatic templates, doctors list, etc., and she had no clue what to do with it.
Getting the required lines was difficult for some reason. At other jobs I would do a minimum of 1500-1800 per day and with this system, I was lucky to get 900. I know the system freezing up was part of it, but on the rare occasion when it worked, it was still very difficult.
They constantly call you to help with this account or that account, which is okay if it's within your time frame to work. I would get calls an hour before shift start from the secondary account person saying are you working today? I never missed a single day while I was there and always worked OT, so there was no reason for this and I found it quite annoying.
good place to try
DRC in California. Never heard a bad word about them. Pay is decent, not exceptional. Good benefits.
good place
i've not been there too long but am very very happy -- decent platform, decent work, great people, direct deposit on time, flexible work window, work on a line committment rather than an 8-hr day.
