that works for them, and she posted something not too long ago about them that she likes it. I think she is the one though that has a lot of questions on the word board, so if she is doing word for word, they must have a lot of ESLs or something.

Wow, they have a town named after me! LOL. nm

I think there are more than one company named that. nm

company named IDS...
Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS? Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc. Thanks very much for any info.
company named LTS
Can anyone tell me anything about a company named LTS? Thanks
Aptly named.
Wrong! Minimizing, mind reading, name calling. Assuming.
Anyone know of a company named
Any information, good or bad? Thanks very much.
You mean the lady named Pepper at OSI?
who knew!
bet if she named the co she would no longer be a recruiter for them.
Some things you have to look at twice because you really don't believe what you read
Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious. I tried Archives but could not come up with anything. TIA.
I'm looking for information about the company named DSG. nm

I do not believe any names were named or any co was mentioned. I only know what I was thinking and
only the incident. I would not name a co. That's not me.
Wrong about making assumptions though. We all do it. There is a big difference in making an assumption and actually naming a co which I did not do.
What did you want to know? Just named AAMT employer of year! sm
With the caveat that no company can be everything to all MTs, I personally have been with Webmedx (and Rodeer, who was bought by Wbx a few years ago) since 1998 and have been pleased. Good platform, decent accounts, average pay with chance of making bonuses, room for advancement (I know of MTs who have moved into QA), decent QA feedback, and I love my manager.
Benefits are good in my opinion. Pay is on time (all direct deposit), workflow decently steady. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)
Saw ad for Transcend and they actually named the new account they were hiring for (sm)
Isn't that a little strange? I know we don't post account specifics and I have never seen a company do so before. They mentioned the hospital name, town and state.
company named Voice Systems
What does anyone know about a company in Georgia named Voice Systems? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay well? Thanks very much.
About as funny as a Clinic in California named Ole'
Didn't they get wiped out by the Mexicans?
*good morning* !! Accts are not named here! NM

Is there actually a company named Rural Transcription?
I thought she was trying to say that she lives in a rural area and has to do transcription at home because there are no local in-house jobs. I didn't think she was badmouthing a particular company by name...
Am I missing something?
I saw the MQ Hawaii vacation winner was someone named Lori G. (sm)
congratulations to her. I, of course, am jealous though.
My sister's cat is named Pubert - or Pube for short...
I really DO have odd sisters, don't I? BTW - my really cheap Big Sister did manage to buy me a decent gift - the Beatles 1 CD. Unfortunately, she got me the same thing last year...ARGH
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

I have no info, but the energy center is named after my grandfather nm
Frank R. Applegate Energy Center
see inside - it's just a start, but stay away from the Indian named owner - I think we know

In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
We also say 'Ford trucks' named after Henry Ford. Makes sense to me.

Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original
nm
It is also Graves disease, named after Robert J. Graves.
nm
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Not that poster but
why was she rude? I didnt see anything rude in her post. So she got more lines than you, how is that rude? I work at Transcend also and I got my lines in that I usually get. I had to type a different shift of course. I work different times of the day when it is slow and I always manage to make it.
Also, the email that was sent out I think was very considerate. Any other company, when slow ( and they ALL get slow), just slows down with no explanations, reassurances, or care.
That's not what the poster said. Poster said
If the poster was hired at 8 cpl last year and makes 13,001 lines to qualify for the incentive (0.0025 cpl at 13,001 lines) that means the poster only makes 1072.58. But the MTs hired after Nov. 1 at 10 cpl makes 1100.00 for only producing 11,000 lines. Tell you what, that would freak me out if I just got hired there. Because no matter when you get hired, in a few short weeks or months you're just the old worn out mare to them.
Are you the same poster as below?
I appreciate your comments about new accounts coming on board in January and June. That is very likely.
The MTs here who are sobbing, as you say, and cannot have it both ways ARE the ones who did keep a fairly regular schedule and did for years, and now for the last couple months the rug has been pulled up from under them.
To the poster(s) below who is/are asking
about TransHealth, I am the one who answered your questions and got flamed for being honest. This is exactly why I said before I will never put why I hated a company again. I have no reason to lie, but just believe me when I say it is definitely in your best interest(s) to stay away from this company. They are the absolute worst out there and that is saying something!!
Not that poster, but I know what he/she SM
is saying because I have worked with a number of people over the years who will look you straight in the eye and tell you that they were the best transcriptionists and in fact they were terrible! Usually they had a bunch of years in, but they had limited value - like typing only 1 type of work or had only worked at 3 little rural hospitals, like that. They functioned well as long as the dictator was American and spoke at a normal rate of speed but they would never be able to do the kind of work a normal transcription service has.
Not the poster above, but that's how I met this
person. I had a problem and posted about it on this very board, and this person was so kind and caring and helpful. Nothing to do with a job - but with med transcription. She has been a mentor AND friend to many, many MTs for no financial gain whatsoever at all - thus anyone even bothering to post in her defense, let alone know who she is. She got nothing out of me, had nothing to gain from helping me - just went out of her way to help me, and I know has done the same for others. A really nice and professional MT - one who wants to help others newer to the field, etc. I don't see her post here anymore for a long time, and I just pray that she does not read the boards either. Really an all time low for MTs to post personal attacks on a person - I'm sure Admin isn't aware of it, or this whole thread would be in the trash where it belongs.
I think the poster was asking
what companies require you to use an FTP site to download your dictation files and send them back. I understand what you mean, but the company I work for does not require MTs to use an FTP site. I could be wrong, but I think that is what the OP was referring to.
this may be the same poster over and
over again. Diskriter has a huge turnover. H-U-G-E, both inside the main office and with transcriptionists. I couldn't take it any more. I was jumped from one account to another to another. I was told to work weekends and when I would work the weekend, I sometimes would not have any work. I actually made $23.00 one weekend after an 8 hour shift. I was fuming! They supposedly had all this work, but I certainly wasn't getting any.
I should state that I have been a Transcriptionist for 12 years, so it's not the quality of my work or lack of experience. When I first started with Diskriter, I was making my line count and my pay was not that great, but I figured I would stick with it. It just got worse. I left. I'm sure everyone has a different experience with them.
I'm not that poster above, but as far SM
as my experience with them went, he/she is speaking the truth. I did a SmartSource account and then went to work directly for Diskriter and it was like night and day. More like NIGHTMARE working for DR directly. The PTO, the health insurance, holidays, everything was totally different and much less than when I was on the SmartSource account. DR's ever-changing management was annoying because you never knew who was running what from week to week.
I think that poster was just trying to help SM
because if you wait for the administration to come onto a public bulletin board to address your questions, you will be waiting quite a while.
Not the other poster, but yes, I would say they-sm
have a lot of work that is actually worse than on the test. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone who doesn't have a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of ESL experience. All of the accounts are pretty much the same, littered with these horrible ESL doctors.
Not the poster but
I got mine from transcriptiongear.com. You can buy it directly from the Instant Text website too. I paid 180 four years ago, but it was worth it. I have tried all the Expanders out there, and this one is by far the best!
For poster below not OP

poster below is right - MDI-MD
where'd the little blue smiley guy with the thumbs-up go?
lol. Not as if I am the only poster who gets
x
Sure am! And also a certain poster on another
board, one who likes star trek. There was no alternative other than to make this move! My DH probably does not realize it is reality, and I am sure I will be told to bring in the money, anytime soon. But in the meantime, he can help me now. I sure would love to have e mail buddies. Just don't know if the e mail stuff works on this board right now. In the meantime, I will be here saying hi, this place and another have certainly gotten me through a lot lately, especially for companionship. THanks for all your kind words, that is for sure!
For all this poster said.

These could all be the same poster using a
showed how unprofessional she is by ranting on the other thread. This is so yesterday. 
The poster below is right sm
BOS is fine and we have to have SOME sort of industry standards. HOWEVER, the account specifics have to trump the BOS every time. The client gets it how they want it, BOS to the wind. Now, if your QA person is always changing her mind, that is different.
I don't like she didn't want to go back after the fact and listen to your blanks. I don't care how she gets paid, that is a waste of time, period, end of that story, thanks folks. She may well be an idiot, if she actually thinks that saves her any time. It would increase her billable hours...still an idiot.
Take a bow, poster, take a bow....
Thanks for saving me all of that typing and waking me up.
For a fleeting second, I thought maybe I needed therapy because I actually ENJOY my job and make very decent money.
Again, BRAVO!!!
Thank you! The other poster obviously sm
has a reading comprehension problem.
I did not take as the poster
ripping apart the company, she just stated her experience with the company to date and her frustration. I can totally understand her position, wanting to be hired by a certain company, applying with them, getting excited because they send you a form to complete and then nothing after that. I have gone through the exact same thing but luckily once I did finally hear from the company, some months later, I had had enough people to tell me to run and RUN fast from them.
Again, I just took it as her venting her frustration, as so many do, on this forum, just as you have with previous companies. She did not give her name so it really makes no difference what she said about them. I know that management from some companies watch these boards and hopefully some of them will take a hint if they read a post such as hers and change things .... yep and I am still waiting on that million dollar check from Ed McMahon.
above poster
My company sends a 'thanks but no thanks' letter if you don't meet your line requirement. Maybe your company is heading in that direction with you.
Read your contract!
another poster
is really quick to judge when she has not walked in our shoes. I was told time and again that several huge accounts would be coming on in September and October. And who are you to tell anyone else what they SHOULD be doing. Please do not SHOULD on us, please. As to we will still have jobs. Some of us have too much integrity to sell out to working for people who offshore. I guess it is all in what you value.
