Aren't they the ones that claim to be a good Christian
company too? Sounds too much like TranScam to me.
Christian-based company
The sad thing is, some Christians will use their so called Christianity to make themselves more trustworthy then they are.
What does Christian have to do with a business? nm

They are supposedly a Christian organization
sss
Christian owed Transcription Co.
Is there a Christian-based transcription Company? In speaking with another MT, she mentioned this, but could not remember the name of the company. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS A BUNCH
Christian MT board, by chance?
I had a link to a site of this nature from a very long time ago. Since I'm looking around I decided to check it out, thinking it's an MTSO, or a listing of several who are faith-based, etc. I signed up for the thing and got a reply asking me if I'm a Christian, if I have experience or not, that type of thing. That's when I realized they must not be an MTSO, but signed up anyway, in hopes of looking for other sources for jobs.
While I approve of their no bashing policy, a couple of my closest friends are Jewish, so I have a great deal of respect for their religion (and of course the fact that Israel is a huge ally of the US).
It didn't dawn on me until I read the post about no Jews here (for that site, not this one). That's not cool. My friends aren't militant, and would just roll their eyes over it. Regardless, I have no idea why they'd do this.
Is this the site discussed here? Maybe there are more of them. ??
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)
What type of work do they have? Any op reports? Appreciate any info.
Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

Doesn't do any good to go to the media; i.e., TV
I sent letters and emails and watched their programs.Never a word mentioned.
One idea might be a Letter to the Editor of your local newspapers. That should get some people riled up in the local area. That's my next step. Government agencies aren't going to help. They're the ones who want this, so big business can profit.
yeah, it really doesn't look good at all
if they are as bad as a lot of people say they are, they really need to get it together before sending out them ads. scccaaaarrryy
and just because you have been an MT for 20 to 30 years doesn't mean you are good at it...

My husband is a Christian minister - I write -Christmas-
I find no offense at all with Xmas. If you do your research you will find this is true.
Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM

Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm

Doesn't that hospital MT job for Smartmed look really good?
10-12 cpl, lots of PTO, all basic-4 - Has anyone applied yet? I don't know if I want to go FT these days, but that sure looks enticing. I am curious as to what they count as a line. Can anyone share their experience regarding this ad, or this company?
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Superior offshores, Pro doesn't have a good
reputation. I can't see anything good coming out of it.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you

Umm, MDI doesn't know who she is by her post so she isn't obligated to give a good exp.
I'm sure MDI doesn't appreciate the lies and people posting like they know something when they don't but I doubt they mind someone posting in their defense re: pure crap posts.
Well that doesn't say much about the company
You've been there 4 months and have 5 accounts already????? That tells people that they run out of work consistently otherwise you would be working on 1 account and have a backup, maybe 2. I've been there years and didn't even get my secondary account for almost 6 months because the work was so heavy on my primary account. Things have changed. The turnaround is so great they have to continually overhire. The only thing I have to say is think about why you were hired at 10 cpl. You're training the VR that is going to be cutting that 10 cpl to 5.5 cpl. If you're happy earning 5.5 cpl doing FULL editing that's great. Maybe you weren't there when the CEO was saying that the people who do really well on editing are not high producers in typing and vice versa. Those who have a hard time doubling their lines in editing are the ones producing 350-400 lines an hour in typing. There's no way they can make 700 lines per hour doing FULL editing. So if you're doing great in editing, you're not that great in typing...you're average. If you're a high producer in typing, let's see how happy you'll be when making 5.5 cpl for producing the same amount of work.
This company doesn't try either
They have not responded to their employees directly ... instead they put their comments anonymously on this board.
Best pay, doesn't always mean the best company. sm
You could make $0.18 cpl doing ESLs all day long and run out of work. That being said, how much would you make really if you can't do ESLs or there is no work available.
Everyone is looking for something different in a company. My suggestion is to write down what it is you are looking for, line rate, steady work flow, schedule, pay periods, etc and seek it out.
Good luck to you.
A company that doesn't ...sm
test? CMT, 16 years experience including transcriptionist, QA, supervisor/trainer. Tired of all the companies that use mttest before they will even talk to you which takes up my time - only to find they don't pay very well! Are there any companies that wave the testing if you have the experience and great references?
Just because one company does it doesn't
mean they all do. I worked for KS and I know that the work fluctuated and there were days without work. It still reflects very poorly on you to say such a thing. I don't know whether it is true or not, but without knowing every detail from both sides you aren't qualified to suggest that something she has done has caused her a lack of work.
another company doesn't pay
CC Transcription, out of Florida. First, when it is time to pay, she says O sorry, it will be 4 weeks before first check. (I quit right then but another girl did not) So, okay it 4 weeks and time to pay and she says, So sorry, my computer crashed and all the information to do direct deposits is in there, I will have to mail you a check. Well okay, so mail the darned thing. WOW! It came a week later and guess WHAT????? IT BOUNCED LIKE A A BASKETBALL OFF THE 95TH FLOOR! But, here's the best one.....now her appendix ruptured and she has been in the hospital! I must be nuts because I and positive she was not in the hospital when she wrote those checks. Is there some new thing about checks not being good for 2 weeks to wait and see if your going to get sick first? Is that a bank insurance thing I can take out? hhhmmm
She advertises here on mtstars and also on mtjobs, so BEWARE of this lady, it is also Joyce Transcription! She didn't get me NEAR as bad as the other gal, and we are the only to who communicate, so how many more are out there????
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
Would think whatever is FT production for that company. PT doesn't
s
That doesn't mean I have to work for a company
who chooses to send things out of country. I feel no need to suck it up and take it.
MBS a company that doesn't care about their MTs
This company doesn't care about their MTs and the owner or the president is very proud to post her picture in her company's website. Check the link and beware of this very deceptive company. I don't want to waste my time running after them, just want to caution all the MTs out there who are trying to earn a living, they might commit a mistake dealing with this company.
If a company doesn't pay, is there anything one can do to collect?
Trouble again
This company's name doesn't start with a "K", but......
sorry you had the same experience with another company. It stinks when you are told you have failed a test but aren't given any further details.
It doesn't matter. IF the company wants
people on site to train, that is their right to insist. There is a MTSO that has been mentioend on here, don't remember the name, that requires new employees to come to them for training.
I'm looking for a company that doesn't require a schedule......
I know - does that even exist anymore? I currently work when I want, just comitting to certain number of lines in a pay period. Are there any companies that allow us to do that anymore? I'm thinking it's time for a change.
Isn't Cymed a company that also doesn't pay for spaces? nm

Work for a company that doesn't offshore
My company doesn't evade tax laws. They don't have
state tax. I didn't have a question and my DH and I have a very solid marriage and aren't going to split. You sound bitter.
I used to work for a company that offshores -doesn't mean I do now (sm)
Do I sense some some sour grapes here? 
My company doesn't pay for ANY holdays if you don't work

My company doesn't even have a list of what they expect
What drives me nuts is a company that doesn't even have a list of what they expect and with 8 different QA people going over the report, it's just the luck of the draw. I have had two of the same operative reports by the same dictator who uses basically the same language. Easy to type, right. Change a word here or there and send it. Had two different QA people. One report was 100%, the other 89%. One changed all the punctuation, the other didn't change a thing. One didn't like where I set up paragraphs. One gave errors because what I thought was um QA took as a and gave me an error for omitting “a” from the sentence when the dictator never dictates a complete sentence in the first place. We are told to type verbatim. So what is the difference between “Patient received bolus of” and “Patient received “a” bolus of” Of course management sides with QA so no way to complain. If they were consistent, there would be less people dreading QA and it would truly be a teaching tool, not a power play by QA to show us lowly MTs that they are better than we are and justify their own jobs.
Clever way to give-up a company name that doesn't
Have 4 accounts and no work. SR doesn't pay enough. Like the company, but..

Is there any company that doesn't have high ESL now days? nm
.
That doesn't mean it's not a problem account for the company (sm)
It's sometimes in the company's best interests to let an account go if they're too demanding or whatever. Hardly reason to start a panic like they're losing accounts.
Beware of really good marketers. They spin. The marketer doesn't make your schedule. nm

What company offers this? Doesn't sound famililar. nm

Jeannal, here is some advice - it doesn't matter which company
you go with if they have good insurance. If you are basically looking for great insurance, then go with the company that has the best insurance for you. Bottom line. It doesn't matter what kind of work you get, what kind of jobs you get, as long as you make the minimum line count and you are only concerned about insurance, then go with that company that offers the best. It might not be Diskriter, it might not be Spheris, it might not be Medquist - or on the other hand, it might be all three. It's up to you - if insurance is a big issue and work is not, then go with the company that offers good insurance only. The rest will fall into place
Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.

In case this company doesn't see this post, email them and tell them

It doesn't matter one whip which company she works/ed for...sm
It's all about experience and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE, which seems sorely lacking - evidenced by the ongoing bashes on this subject.
On top of that, one company is NOT a good fit for all - therefore, you may have to try and try again before you can find the right fit.
She is totally correct about years of experience. You don't start out riding a bike on the first day, and the same is totally true about MT-ing or any other career. So, buckle down, start learning and use every tool that is at hand for futuristic possibilities of better money.
But if you choose to go to work for TT, please refrain from returning here and complaining that you're not making the same kind of money. The dollar-making ability differs from MT to MT. Some of us have and some of us don't.
If you're that upset about it, do what I did and work for a company that doesn't outsource
