Spheris never runs out of work
I have never run out of work working for Spheris.
A couple hundred U.S. Constantly hiring, but i bet constantly losing them, too. sm
Who knows how many offshore MTs they have at their training center.
Is this company in Florida that runs out of work? I think we must have the same job LOL
Heaven help us.. I cant have anymore down time.. I'm starving here..
Transolutions pays downtime when work runs out. nm

They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible. You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines. The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst. I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice. I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience. The rules change constantly. QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning. I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed. Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon. I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady. I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work. It's sure not the case. Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?
Don't do it. Pay is low. They overhire and work is low constantly.

That is why I am looking now for a second job. The place I work for constantly
runs us out of work and of course it is because things are slow but the fact is they overhired so they dont have to worry about TAT and be bothered with it. We dont count I guess.
Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Forget it. We're constantly running out of work now. sm
Some accounts have work, many really slim.
they are constantly out of work. Will show 40 jobs and a minute later none.

Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

After about a 2-day period of more work, back to running out constantly.
Maybe they should streamline, get rid of some dead weight, but mostly they should STOP OVERHIRING as they have constantly done in the years I have been there.
This is NOT a seasonal slowdown. They treat us like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.
outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)

I am working to support myself so running out of work constantly, is not an option.
I realize there are slow times, but a lot of places offer backup accounts. Why put all of your eggs in one basket. I'd starve.
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
Run out of work, no communication, pay
Unorganized, no communication, no work

Breitner - run out of work, no communication, pay
Plenty of work at TransHealth. As far as communication goes...sm
QA email is staffed round the clock and they are usually pretty quick to answer emails. There is always someone to answer the phone at the help desk etc. I've not run into any lack of communication.
There is a lot to be said for good communication and plenty of work.
Trust me. It could be worse and I should know. I have worked for some companies that I WISHED paid 10 cents a line and had poor communication and lack of work. You cannot go wrong it sounds with what your doing. I could only pray for that.
I work for Webmedx and the communication is poor. sm
The MT managers are okay about answering email. However, questions to upper management go unanswered--or even worse are answered with a defensive attitude that you shouldn't be asking questions. I'm suspicious of any individual or company that gets uncomfortable with questions.
Terrible to work for, bad communication, rude

I stayed 3 months and then bailed out. Ran out of work, lack of communication, etc. nm

If your impressed by bad communication and erractic work flow then it's the place for you..
I know a lot of people who have been there longer than a few weeks that have a lot better insight on MDI-FL and it's not a great review. Yes, the people are nice but is about it.. Nice unfortunately does not pay the bills or stop you from being frustrated because no one answers your emails, well I should say, in a timely manner, and if it is a money-related question like raises etc.. FORGET IT.. you will NOT be getting an email back on that one but you do get one telling you that you need to train on another system, which requires a C-phone, and one in which you had no desire to be placed on, or you lose your benefits. When people sign up to do accounts that are internet-based, it is for a reason. C-phones are a pain in the you-know-what..and then you find out that the account you were hired for is dried up most days, then you are told that you need to do another account that requires the C-phone or you will lose benefits. Thanks but no thanks..getting old.. but truly best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
I love it there...best place I have worked...plenty of work, pay on time, excellent communication...
wonderful supervisors...who could ask for more?
Anyone work for Sten-Tel?
Would appreciate any info.
I work for Sten-Tel
Unlike most MTSOs, everyone is very professional and kind. There is plenty of work. The pay is average and they only hire IC status. The platform is Word-based and very easy to use. I love working for them. The only thing I don't like is the fact that they mail paychecks. Other than this, it's great.
I work for Sten Tel in MA and have
A pay schedule was recently distributed to all MTs and QA people that is the same. We are paid every two weeks. What are you talking about?
I currently work for Sten Tel in
I also received an IC contract from another company that says the same thing. You are an IC. They don't guarantee you any work. If there is no work, no pay. This is standard for an IC. I QA for them and have had very little work since I started. No work, no pay.
As far as the 'no liability' portion, I must have overlooked that. Why would you speak to an attorney and then come here asking for opinions. What did your attorney tell you? Seems like you would listen to him/her.
I work for Sten-Tel
There pay rate sucks.
I am a new MT and I currently make 3.0 cents per line. After I receive my CMT after 5 years I can go up to 4.0 cents per line. This sucks.
Otherwise, they are a good company and they usually have plenty of work. However, try and negotiate a higher pay rate!!
anyone work for Sten-Tel
and not getting paid? Email me.
no work with sten-tel
I had the same experience with Sten-Tel. The bank was always empty. I told them I do their stuff prn and got another job. Haven't been back since. Now my job is going to whoever will do it cheaper than me, and I hate to think of going back to Sten-Tel. They're pay was like 9 cents for every 11 words and it sucked. I could flip burgers for more than that. Not to mention they was verbatum. Doc said, patient is no longer oranges. I typed, The patient is no longer eating oranges. They marked it wrong and told me to just type what is said. Remember, some foods can interact with drugs. I'd be real proud to be on staff with a coompany that puts out sentences like that!
Does anyone work for Sten-Tel in
Mass as an Editor or QA? Can you give me any information regarding the position? How is the work flow? Is there plenty of work? Do they pay on time? Are they flexible? TIA for all info.
Anyone here work for Sten-Tel? nm

I work for Sten-Tel
I have never had a problem with receiving my check on time. I have already received this month's paycheck. Maybe there is something up with your local post office...you know how they can be.
Anyone work for Sten-Tel?
Could not find any recent posts about Sten-Tel. Before I accept the job offer I would like to hear from anyone who might be working for this company. Thanks for any information!
Anybody work for Sten-Tel and actually got off of QA?
I have worked with them before and quit because of the QA. Well I just recently started back about 2 months ago b/c I was desperate and hoping maybe they would be different but it is the same old crap. Their QA is ridiculous. They will keep you and keep you on QA forever. I guess I need to start looking for a different company. Has anyone worked with them and actually got approved and taken off of QA? If so, how long did it take you? The other company I work for had me off QA in 2 days...so I know that it is not my work quality that is keeping me on QA.
Anyone else at Sten-Tel having problems getting more work?
I've sent in several requests for more work, and I just am not getting the lines I need. I love the company but I have bills to pay. Problem is, I'm a newbie (less than 2 years, anyhow). So I was just wondering if anyone else is running into this, or if you have advice on how to get around it?
TIA
Sten-Tel...any QAs here work there? If so, how is it? I'd be happy to hear from ya:D nm

Sten-Tel is bringing all of their offshore work back in to USA. Per the client's wishes! nm

That runs in cycles
Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource. After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house. After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..
It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex. So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL
