In Reply to: don't be depressed...it's Focus... - cheer up
have not worked at Focus in a long time. I work there now and think they are great. I have had no problems. Pay is always on time, nobody bothers me, and I always have plenty of work....only work on 1 account.

NEGATIVE POSTS...SM
And your post of being tired of complaining and negative posts isn't a complaint in itself?
negative posts
It's always good to know what you're getting into before it's too late. There are companies out there that are not even mentioned on this board and those are the ones to work for!
Negative posts are allowed. (SM)
As long as there is no language or vicious name-calling, etc., positive or negative posts are allowed.
If you are just coming here to cause trouble, however, you probably should post elsewhere.
If you have issues about posting policy, contact the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com).

All the negative posts were removed.
I would have to assume it is because Davis supports mtstars although Davis has never advertised for employment here. They use the 'other' MT job site.
Pay has never been on a timely schedule and comes late no matter what is said differently. There have been many instances of bounced checks. Because of that and problems being able to have work every day, I left there. The pay scale was just re-vamped so I don't know what kind of money can be made. That'll have to be answered by someone else. Maybe with the new payscale payment will be able to be made on a regular, timely schedule.
Things are always changing so who knows? Maybe it would be a good fit. Good luck.

Response to negative posts
First of all, for all the MTs who have recently been hired and who are no longer with Premier, I apologize for your unhappiness. I value this industry and the many MTs who have been hired by me for 15 years past. I also value my clients -- so much that I take the extra step to make sure that the MT is a good fit. I am embarrased that I fell victim to a scenario that I felt was a benefit to the MTs who have been out in the field looking for a good MT job. As there are always two sides to every store, here is my side:
Premier Office Technologies, Inc. has been continually growing since its inception in 1991. The past two years have been super aggressive with referals (thank you all who have participated in making this happen!). As a result, we signed six new client contracts 29 days into the year 2008 which resulted in my having to hire a minimum of 20 new MTs. Back in February I posted a job and hired two individuals from that ad. They are still with me today. I received an email from a smaller MTSO who offerred to me her staff of MTs and told me to hault my own recruiting, as she would take full responsibility of hiring, training, QA'g, paying, etc. of these MTs. I trusted her and did that. She came to me two weeks later and said she was not able to commit to the amount of work that is required to do this. She, therefore, relinquished these girls to me directly. I attempted to hire all of them since they were offerred a position with this MTSO and have invested their time with this process. Unbeknownst to me, I soon learned that none of these MTs ever worked for that company, but were hired for the purposes of working on my accounts. They also were not even tested. I trusted their resume and my own conversations with them. I was literally given a handful of 13 MTs at one time. This is something I would have never done on my own. I do feel that this is where the MTs feel that I was disorganized. I was merely making an attempt to make sure everyone had a position with a lot of work available to them. This is the number one reason that the MTs are seeking employment in the first place, i.e., that their prior employer did not have enough work to keep them busy. With all of the best resources that Premier has available, it was very difficult to get each of the 13 MTs installed, trained and up and running on each of thier scheduled requests. However, those who have made it are happily working and accomplished their goal. Those who have not, I am sorry that you have found your experience with Premier a not-so-pleasant one. I have learned a valuable lesson from this scenario and will never agree to this type of hiring practice again. I am told that this person is recruiting again, so all MTSOs should be aware that this happens. For all of you MTs looking for work, I hope you find what you are looking for. I am confident that any new MT who is looking for a good MTSO to work as a team player and who understands the ebs and flos of this industry can make a happy marriage with Premier. For years, Premier has had a very good reputation and plans to keep that trend flowing well into the future.
The only negative posts lately have been from the same person...
hard to say something negative about a company when you don't work there...
many posts about their VR system; mostly negative.

recent posts below are all negative.

I skip up the negative posts - I just figure...
they are people unhappy with thereselves and apparently have no work. If they did, they would'nt be here wasting the space. Thanks for your input. I am sure we will find a good place for her. And I am sure somebody will not be able to help thereselves but to respond negatively to this. I just figure if you are unhappy, go somewhere where are you happy.
The negative posts didn't scare me...
None of them compare to what I've gone through with other companies. The good far outweighs the bad.
Lots of negative posts if you do a search. nm

Negative posts about Webmedx down a few on this page. nm

Notes on old posts are very negative & mention pay of 8.5 and 9 cpl, but don't know if for all

Acetera used to be Focus and there are many negative posts here

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

Because one person can have multiple negative posts

They've been around for years and the posts are always negative.

With all the negative posts in response to a positive post, I am
surprised that anyone posts anything here.
I do not work for Keystrokes but I like to see what is out there, and the benefits they are offered, if coupled with a decent line rate and steady work load, are better than most I have seen.
Gone are the days of fully-paid pension plans. Gone are the days of three weeks' vacation. Employers cannot afford these, and not just in transcription.
If you aren't interested or do not like something, just ignore the post. You obviously were interested or you would not have read it.
Can't we cut back on the nasty posts on this board? If it does not concern you, don't criticize.
If you are not looking for a new position, don't gripe about ones that are being offered. If you are looking and a company's line rates, benefits or perks don't meet your personal requirements, why cut that company down? Just move on and good luck finding what you are looking for.
I agree with the poster about being mad at the entire industry, but I still love my career choice. It has been a good fit for me and has allowed me to live a nice lifestyle.
If I wasn't happy, I'd move on to another career.
Might check the archives as I think there were some negative posts a while back. NM

Do a search of this board for Shapin and see how many negative posts there are. nm

many recent negative posts on Company Board

Thanks, Alice, I had read all the negative posts. I just wanted to know if
anyone who worked for them had anything positive to say. The screaming b*@ch responding to this post doesn't realize that people do need to work, but some of us want to weigh all responses. I'm not living life looking through rose-colored glasses. I don't live it, either, by focusing on every negative my mind conjure up, like the whacko responder here. Good grief, talk about needing a life!
Thanks, Alice, doesn't seem anything has improved here as far as Focus.
And that is the problem with administration deleting negative posts about a company.

many recent negative posts of Amphion on Company Board

Some people thing the MTs here are negative SM
and mean but they really are telling the truth 99% of the time when posting negative things about a company.
Too there are so many negative people out there. You reap what you sow.
If you continue to be negative, that's all you'll get back. Try putting a positive spin on everything and you will see a change.
Why must people be so negative on this board?? nm
nm
Ha! I feel the same way about Keystrokes! Why are so many negative people on here?
I am off this morning and came here to see if anything is new, and wow! there is a lot of negativity again.
These companies would not be in business and would not be as large as they are if they did all the things they are accused of, did not have work, overhired, etc.
Come on now, people! If they are all out of work, who's doing the work? I doubt that any of these are truly out that short on work and overstaffed, especially as they are hiring!
It costs a lot to find, interview, hire, train and start an employee. They would not waste time (or the almighty dollar) by hiring people for no reason.
do you realize you are posting to posts from January of
soooo, you are posting anonymous posts to your own
posts now??? How childish. Besides that, I did not see any copyright mark on the eye rolling thing, and I was not responding to YOU, but to someone else. I thought you were *bored* and had moved on. Apparently not because you always have to have the last word about anything. I guess that makes you feel that your are always right, as well as a people abuser. LOL.
The thing to remember about this board is that there are more negative people than positive that pos
The reason is that a lot of MT's have had bad experiences EVERYWHERE they go, if you know what I mean. They then bash the most recent company over and over again.
The same few people seem to have worked everywhere and have something bad to say about every company.
Take everything with a grain of salt on here. It is a gossip board.
The only ones to believe the negativity about are those that do not pay or bounce their payroll checks.
The rest? Well, most are decent companies that might not be a good fit for everyone. There is not much difference between all the bigger ones except whether they send work offshore or not. Otherwise, rates are similar, benefits are similar, work load is similar.
LOL I think it's about 3 people posting over and over. They just have had a recent ad. and

But people here are posting this woman's name!

I see a lot of people posting on here about quitting MQ and I was just wondering where they all went
and is it better. I guess we wont know what we are up against yet for about a week then we will see what happens.
Just by posting that here will help a great deal of people
Thank you!

Some people are posting they are leaving Transcend because of QA problems. Anyone know about this.

Maybe search for Cort or CorT..most posts were negative so maybe they were deleted. nm

There were pages of VERY negative posts about them, in the high teen-20s pages on
s
There were people who ignored all the posts
about how horrendous Heartland was and several have posted in the last month or so how sorry they are that they didn't listen, that everything said was true.
Heartland offshores big time on top of all the other stuff and I don't think there is any hope of an improvement.
QT Medical (qtmedical.com) is hiring, good wage, nice people, no offshoring, lots of work, direct deposit, QA manager really nice, not too many bad ESL. They provide foot pedal/software, can work in Word or WP5.1 your choice usually although I think some accounts are just Word, nice gift at Christmas and MT week, they leave you alone as long as you do what you are supposed to, no nasty e-mails, no IM, I think they only have IC positions so no benefits. You can apply on-line or call Kelli. No special platform, a few pages of do's and don'ts but not bad and you'll quickly learn them, daily feedback, only need to enter patient's name, the rest of the demographics automatically entered. Not sure what the current cpl is, but they pay on gross line.
I have seen some other posts on these people--sm
in the archives. some were not good, stating they were not getting paid and the company would no longer communicate with them, etc. I never had that problem, but you just never know. As an IC, in my opinion, it would be easier for a company to not pay you and get away with it. I have seen that problem happen alot on this board. I guess they feel that once they stop communicating with you, there is little you can do to get your money. You can, but it takes alot of effort on your part. There are good company's and bad company's. I have experienced both. You just have to be objective, keep your intuition tuned, and take a chance sometimes. If your gut tells you not to, listen, because it is generally right. I work for a small MTSO out of California and we discussed all these issues of concern before I even started working for them. If they are a legitimate company, they should have no objections to answering your questions or belaying your fears. They are just as cautious as you are, because they don't want to get a bad employee either. These are just some helpful hints, I hope. It is never easy to know who to trust. good luck to you.
People were asking about them down a few posts. nm
