did you read them?
Still hoping for some information on platform from someone who works there. Thanks.
THere is a TON of posts about them recently. Open your
post and near the bottom click on the blue related posts and you'll get the most recent posts.
I've recently seen posts that mention
salary vanish shortly after they're posted by the moderators. Maybe people think it's not worth the effort to complain about these companies when the moderators remove them.
To look at this board anymore you would think that everything is rosy. Well, it sure isn't. Depending when you look at this board, you would think no one has commented about the 5 and 6 cents a line that some of these companies are posting. They've commented plenty. But their comments vanish as if they never existed.

MTjobs
Honestly, I am looking for something similar. Unfortunately, have been and nothing. Twenty plus years in this business and it is getting worse. The pay is horrible, what the companies get away with is unbelievable, and this industry is going down the toilet fast. 
mtjobs.com has nothing to do with
What is your point? I don't understand. Did you read the posts in this string?

MTjobs.com
I typed in Radiology in the keyword search on this site, and it pulled up a bunch of job postings by companies looking for Radiology MTs. Have you looked there already or tried those companies? 
COMPANIES ON MTJobs.com
What is it with all of these companies that keep posting over and over on MTJobs.com??? Same companies, over and over and over and over. My suspicion is because they absolutely can hold on to NO help. Any other opinions on this and just how much stock does anyone else take in those companies?

mtjobs.com and the job bank here..sm
Both have employee jobs listed. I know Med-Scribe, Focus (don't automatically count them out, not all have had bad experiences), WebmedX, eTransPlus and a couple others are hiring employees.
MTjobs is another good one

I did and have been contacted by 4 companies. Talked on the phone to 2 different people and 1 was definitely better than the other in terms of pay. I'm just doing this to fill a gap until I get more clients for my own company but it's a living.

Radiology job on MTJobs paying 75 cents per report...
Will we be reduced to pennies? There is no way you can make a living at 75 cents per report.

specifics
I was interested in learning what experiences other transcriptionists may have had with this company, i.e. rate of pay, platform, problems anyone may have had. I've been with another company and I need to find something that I am not working so many different accounts that I can't make decent money.
What specifics do you want to know? sm
There is plenty for work right now. Pay is direct deposit for IC and employee. Line count pay varies according to account and type of work you type as well as time of day. Can't remember the specifics.
I work as an IC, and for now I need whatever income I can get. It suits my needs just fine.
Specifics
Okay, I was hired twice by this company. The first time she wanted someone to start yesterday and offered me 9 cpl and spent time loading their program onto my computer, and then......nothing for several days. No files, no response to my emails, nothing. This went on for a week and I was offered a full-time position at the company I was with at the time. I took that and emailed the owner of VS,LLC and was told they made promises based off of my commitment and they had been waiting for me to contact them and let them know when I could get started. They were wondering why they had never heard from me. Well I am not an idiot I had emailed them and been very specific on the phone with them about wanting to start immediately. I had even emailed them with outlook and attached a read reciept and had been notified that they had read it. When I pointed this out to her, she suddenly had all my emails that she supposedly never got and kept emailing me begging me to work starting right then. When I explained that I had already started full-time with my current company I got a somewhat nasty email that I just thought was more frustration than anything. Well fast forward a year and a half.... I was used to my full-time now and looking to add part-time for savings and extra. I saw VS's ad and thought it might be worth a try again. Well the pay had gone down to 8 cpl. Not what I was looking for, but better than average anymore. Went through all the steps again. Emailed about setting up training again with read reciepts, everything this time was with read reciepts. Well again with the we need someone to get started right away so hurry up and wait. 4 days I waited and emailed and waited. Well, I had also applied for other positions and the 4th day I had been offered one of the other positions I had applied for. I email the owner of VS this and that if she cannot get me trained and started then I must move on as she had told me she would start me immediately. I had in fact cancelled a weekend out of town with my family because I was supposed to train immediately. I heard nothing for a day and a half and had received the read reciept, so I know she got it. Then I get an email saying they had not received any of my emails. I send back that I had read reciepts on everyone of my emails. All of a sudden she is sending replies to me from the emails that she supposedly had never received. Then she tells me how she had tried, and tried all day Saturday trying to call me and never answered and asking me if I knew how to even use the telephone! Seriously! I told her nice try as I had been at home all weekend waiting for her call and still had the calls on my caller ID from the whole week before and not one call from her, imagine that. Well I told her that obviously it was not meant for us to work together and that I could not work like this. I mean if this was the way it was before I got started imagine how it would be after I got started. I received several more extremely rude emails from her before I finally had to email her telling her to stop and that I was blocking her email. I mean how unprofessional! I was here and more than ready and willing and able to get started and even sacrificed a weekend with my family to get started/going right away.
Now having said all that, I know a lot of people have a lot of negative things to say about DSG and I had an absolutely wonderful, and I mean wonderful experience with DSG for 4 years. I only left due to health reasons and lack of ability to be dependable until I could get my health taken care of, which I did and am all better now and have been for a couple of years. So maybe if you get started with VS, LLC it is good. Maybe you will not have the experience I had. There are previous posts about VS,LLC not paying and I had decided in for myself to try anyway, so it is up to you. Just go in prepared for anything (as you should with any company) if you decide to go ahead. Good luck in your choice it sure is hard these days to sift through everything. I would not have taken the chance based off of old posts with VS,LLC if it had not always been a part-time thing for me. I mean if I was looking for a bread and butter company I could not afford to take the chance of not being paid. I hope this helps:)
Yes they do although each account has its own specifics.

Per Keystrokes employee handbook:

I sent her an email asking for more specifics.
Did you think to ask about acct specifics?
What you think might look better and what the client requires are two different things. Often when a client receives expansions that they specifically ask NOT to be done, they go back to the client and yell and in some instances ask for a credit. The transcription company isn't going to take the chance if the specifics are that rigid. As for the name of the facility - I'd think you could just ask?
MDI QA question- can QA see specifics about
the jobs that are on the WAV system of Bayscribe? Because one of the QA on my accounts magically appears out of nowhere to help out when there are standard operative reports available. I think it is very unfair and rude, but she wants 'em so she takes 'em. If she is getting paid to QA I think she should keep her mitts off the transcription. JMHO. Maybe other QAs are doing the same thing and picking off lines that should be left available for us to fulfill our commitments.
Not knowing the specifics
I can think of a lot of reasons why, although I'm not involved in any way in this specific circumstance. If the client has become too difficult to work with- impossible turn-around times, dictators with too my individualized preferences, nit-picking (yes, they do it on the hospital end, too), and an unwillingness to pay the requested rate, I can see where it would be just as easy to not renew the contract. If the MTSO knows it has new account(s) coming on or that it has enough work for the staff it has, it could easily let a difficult account go. Much the same way some transcriptionists will take easier accounts that pay less but they can type more, I would assume MTSOs make the same choices.
All Type - anything good or bad? specifics
I think E-MTS does. Don't remember specifics. Check them out. nm

I'm looking for specifics. Well aware of job board.
thanks for nothing. why even take the time to reply like that????
Can you give me any specifics on this company?
Could you give me any specifics on this company? I would like to know more. Thanks.
Account specifics are different, but they changed
6 times last week, and I'm sure they'll change again. No one seems to know what is going on.
The transition is difficult for me too. I was a diehard WP5.1 fan and I DO NOT like Shorthand. I'm still using my mouse way too much and trying to use my WP commands. I've lost a couple of reports and done some other strange things because I've tried to use my WP commands/macros.
I probably only got 40 minutes of dictation tops yesterday and I hope things start picking up soon.
Are their account specifics complicated?
What about vacation time? Thanks for any info!
Got my answers, they posted an ad with specifics.

Don't worry. The account specifics, etc (sm)
are all just a hot key away from your platform. You can pull it up at any time you are in the report. It is broken down very simple (only a page) and gives you exactly what you need as far as formatting, do's, don'ts etc. I was up and running within an hour after training. You'll be okay, you really will
Nightmare account specifics
As someone else has already stated here, the account specifics generally come from the client, not the service you work for (though they certainly can interject their own hoops to jump through and other insanities via their QA guidelines). I once started a new client with a new service and was presented with account specifics that totaled well over 120 pages, and the account supervisors forwarded me 75 helpful e-mails in my first couple of hours there, all of which detailed additional specifics for that one account. That's just nuts. I feel your pain.
