advertising?
Just curious as to where they are advertising?
That may be but they are advertising. nm
no msg
Not advertising but looks like...
they are taking resumes, doing testing on their web site. I'm tired of going through applying, testing, etc. and then finding out the company is a nightmar so I thought I'd check firrst
Well, they are advertising for a
recruiter so I think they need to get that position filled so they will have someone who will reply to all the job applicants they have. Now, that is just my opinion.
Where are they advertising?
I don't see it anywhere.
Crazy
A few years ago in Phoenix a mail carrier was killed a few days before Christmas for the goods.
I think you are all crazy
nm
Yes he is crazy
I am glad you got out. I stayed on too long once this paycheck problem started thinking it will get better but it did not. He made me fell like I was the crazy one. He kept saying how I was threatening him and slandering his comp. Well the only threat I made was when I did not get my check and I stated I was going to the BBB. Then he got really crazy. I'm sorry I just can't quit using the word CRAZY when I refer to this guy. Anyone thinking about going here - don't do it. If you do work there - get out. It will not get better and the capt is CRAZY, CRAZY CRAZY. I let him bs me for awhile about making me a priority to wiring the money, etc. etc. In the end he had the nerve to tell me I should just be nice. Well hello when you are messing with someone's money it's kind of hard to be nice. Sorry to have to vent so long but this guy just gets me so made when I think of everything he emailed to me!!
Are u crazy?
The MT business, if you have not noticed, is every man for himself on a sinking ship. It is a sinking ship!!!! Offshoring is killing us... we are dispensibles here in the U.S.
MT... and I think I'm a little crazy...
there is definitely some degree of mania involved. I actually have 3-1/2 jobs... i do another part time on the weekends.
Going Crazy
I think I am going crazy here. I notified the administrator with my question, and she said that it was moved, etc. However, she stated that there is an arrow and a fire thing only. She said she is not aware of a hand. I am clearly seeing a hand pointing to the right towards my posts and replies. Now, I have worked at a psychiatric hospital for many, many years, maybe I need to admit myself! This is so weird. Does anyone else see a hand?
Am I Just Crazy???
I've been calling around like crazy trying to find a decent company to work for that pays a fair rate etc. Am I crazy to think that with 5 years acute care experience I should get more than 7.5-8 cpl? I've been making 9 cpl at my last job and made 6 cpl as a QA person for the last year as well. Can someone tell me where I can go where I can be an employee and get a fair line rate? I'm willing to do ASR.
CRAZY
What the heck are you talking about???????
Not only is it crazy, also, what does
that do to the TAT time required by the client????
Am I crazy
or do I ask too much from a transcription company? All I want and this is the utmost truth, is to have a fair shot at making some money. That's it! I don't want gimmicks, I don't want to cheat the company, I just want a shot is all.
I've given Transcend so many chances to do that and I just don't think I can do it any longer. It's so abundantly clear to me that I'm just a number there. I started a new account a month ago and I'm not any more use to it now than I was when I started, it's That difficult. They were good enough to limit my reports to only Discharges but they're not able to limit the types of dictators I get so I literally get everything, even the really difficult dictators. I'm brand new to this system, which is difficult enough in itself to learn. It's so blatantly obvious to me that if someone is just starting a job they should give you some easy dictators until you get used to how the system works, THEN gradually work your way up to the hard stuff. And to top it off all they can offer for help is some samples but these are discharges and the doctors don't do the same things over and over again so samples are useless.
The team leader is nice but she can't help me. If you work at Transcend you're on your way basically and for the kind of money they pay it ain't worth it.
I'm filled with regret everyday I log in. Nine years of experience here btw in case ur wondering. I don't want to look for another job but I'm hating this place more and more.
Just need to vent.
This is crazy. There's no way to do
3 times as many lines on VR. It takes too much correcting/editing. I'm so sick of this. Just how much more profit do these MTSOs need to make at the expense of the MTs?!
R U CRAZY
No specialty should be paid 7 cents per line. My last job paid 13 cents per line for radiology. My job before that paid 15 cents per GROSS line for radiology. There are transcriptionists who can't do radiology or ER just as there are Tx's who can't do ops. Spoken like a true TX who does NOT do radiology or ER.
That is crazy.....
Where do you work? I would not type 1 line without my expanders.
What they should do is target the people who cannot type and punish them, not everyone.
Unbelievable.
See ImageStat advertising on here too.
Be prepared to have to buy expensive equipment, like a $300+ Cisco router because they claim nothing else works with the system, and they have a very odd, untrackable method for counting lines. It is gross lines, but sometimes the margins for reports are very wide with a tiny font. Feast or famine with them because they do overflow work only. QA is not nice, either.
They'll keep advertising.
They need Americans who will perfect voice recognition for the Indians.
Then they won't have any use for us any more.
I see Discriter advertising
over and over for the Mich account and an Eye account. They don't sound bad. Anyone have the scoop on why no one wants these jobs? tempted. .
Anyone currently working on the all OPs job they are advertising for. nm
:
Just a form of advertising
Kind of like a Q&A. Like does so and so offer insurance A: Why yes they do very reasonable. Q: Any info on this company. A: Great company!! Smiley smiley tappy tappy feet. Get a room---- pleaseeeeee
Diskriter is advertising for MTs again? Y
Anyone work for Diskriter? Are they losing MTs? I see them advertising quite a bit or are they getting new accounts? Anyone work(ed) for them have any input?
Why is Transtech still advertising for MT's
I don't see them advertising any jobs, though...nm
If they're hiring, where is their job ad or link? Thanks
They're advertising for MT?/QA? via (sm)
Corporate Transcriptionist's? via a very frequently hit resume board online as a link to their own questionnaire/employment form.....so it seems. jhmmmmmm.
no advertising campaign. It's just sm
those of us who have been doing this for a long time feel like you learn better by using books. Its sad that this profession has come to the point where looking into books is considered wasting time.
Believe I saw them advertising on another board for MTs...NM
zzzzzzzzzz
Where are they advertising, Internet or Classifieds? nm
?
Does anyone know about this JG company that is advertising right now a lot. Any info would be
helpful. Have they lost a lot of people or did they get a lot of accounts.
Are they advertising? Care to share where? sm
Any info I have is old, too. Are they currently advertising? They had decent accounts a couple years ago, though I heard their QA people weren't the kindest.
There are companies on this board advertising for 8 cpl
They also want you to pay your own taxes, provide equipment,and pay your own long distance service. PLEASE. Don't do it.
Isn't/wasn't the person advertising with MDI in FL?
I recall her name, and I believe I remember seeing it associated with job ads for MDI in Florida.
They've been advertising for about a year -
NM
I remember seeing a company advertising something about . . .
benefits starting immediately after hiring. I think it might have been in regards to accruing PTO, not having to wait until after probation or one year with the company. Does anybody remember which company this was? Thanks!
MedScribe keeps advertising (see inside)
ER MTs seem to be plentiful. Why are they having such difficulty finding people to work for them?
OMGosh, TRX who doesnt pay is advertising.
Be forewarned. They DO NOT pay.
After I was told I was hired by someone advertising
on the company board here - I provided my DL#, SSN and never heard back from her - since she said up front a background investigation would need to be done down the line and with the type of work I was to do - I understood - but never again. Unless it is a very reputable company with a lot of info about them out there - I will never provide again - way too scarey.
Robin is advertising for MTs on guru.com
Ad text removed by Administrator as it was ad placed on another site.
we're the free advertising . nm
(!)
ADMINISTRATOR, what company is she advertising for, please? nm
n
If they are advertising on this board, why would you not name names? nm

Totally crazy
I worked for the Toth's. The are unorganized, not professional, do not pay for the work on time, and basically rude. I know several people who have taken them to court, won, and still have not been paid monies owed to them!
Not crazy on their part
money, money, money. What I think is crazy is MTs putting up with it. Life is too short to sit at the keyboard 24/7 trying to get enough work to pay the light bill.
Yes it is crazy on their part
What happens when you put a bunch of people on an account they don't know and could care less about and can't make money on? The account is soon lost. Seems to me the company is cutting its own throat doing business this way. Any bonuses the managers make better be wisely invested for when they are out on their butts because there aren't any accounts left.
I would be new with them. I'm crazy too but that's none of their business!
nm
I don't do Rad so I am not sure if they have any or not. They are growing like crazy though, so
call them and ask. They are usually always hiring. Right now I think they are hiring for Med Rec, Oncology and maybe Rad. Call them and talk to Debbie, my supervisor. She's great.
They sure advertise like crazy!
Hope its cuz they have lots 'O work?
Being driven crazy!
So, I quit my job at SPI (formerly CyMed) because of all of the insanity that was going on there since the SPI takeover (constantly changing management, less and less work, horrible new work pools, payroll screw ups, etc). I found a much better company to go with, gave SPI my notice, and left (they never responded to my notice). Since then, I have still not been taken off their e-mail list and get their multiple messages throughout the day with their backlog status updates, etc., even though I keep telling them that I no longer work there and asking them to please remove me from their e-mail list! So, the other night, AFTER midnight, I got a call from someone with SPI asking me if I could do some stat reports! I couldn't believe it! I explained to the person who called me that I have not worked there since the first of February and have been trying to tell them that since then, and she was totally clueless! This company is haunting me! I just thought that I would share my agony!
I'm not some crazy SUPPORTER or
anything, but I think it's gotten a little bit out of hand. I've worked at OSi for 2-1/2 years and while everything is not all rosy, it's not the worst place in the world. They pay on time ALWAYS. I think the insurance is high, but I came from a before MT job where I thought that was high too...not much to compare it to. The whole holiday pay thing - on a conference call last week, they STRESSED that they were putting in place some guidelines for those MTs who abuse the system to get the holiday pay but assured everyone that it would not be held against them if there was no work before/after a holiday. They do offshore, so if that's a concern, then there's nothing more to say about that.
I've had a steady account there, as well as a back up that I've hardly had to use because I've hardly run out of work. I'm pretty much left alone to do my work and have never had trouble making lines.
Almost every company mentioned has pros AND cons...you do what's best for you and if it doesn't work, then try again.
