Transcend...good bad and ugly
Would like any current info on them.....Got hired and would like to know if it is worthwhile to take the job or not.
Thanks!
The QA is okay on my account, no ugly comments, but
sometimes when you have a specific question you don't get an answer or it takes days. We have 5 QA people and each one had their quirks and interpretation, so while you may be doing something one way because one QA person said to, the next QA person may tell you to do it differently. You never know who will be doing your QA at any given time so you stand a change of being wrong a percentage of the time and occasionally they have made changes that were not correct. Not a major issue usually, unless you make a lot of errors, and then it affects your line rate.
Okay, this is turning ugly. These kind of comments are unprofessional
If you here work for the company you could be earning money by taking TT up on the big BONUSES this weekend that nobody has mentioned while griping about the headers, etc. um er, how about telling the world that lines and a half are being offered and an extra 50 to 100 in addition. So, why not just put your ugly comments away and get to work!
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly. sm
I left KS a few months ago after having a near nervous breakdown. I had too much going on in my life and thought that it would be better to go work in a hospital.
The Good: They are growing, have very stable accounts and keep all their customers. Pay is on time and there is direct deposit. The rules have become clear in what is expected of you. They are very personal.
The Bad: The insurance is terrible and expensive but I heard they are getting BC/BS in the fall for sure. The pay used to be late here and there for a few days. It is fixed now and has been for a very long time. The growth caused some changes that did not work and more changes were made to correct the problems caused, which seemed like chaos from the outside looking in.
The Ugly: They went through some terrible growing pains a few years ago and have been dodging bullets from former employees. There were late checks and no direct deposit. There was not a lot of work because they overhired.
The diagnosis: Once they got over the hump several months ago, things evened out and have been for a while. I want to go back but I'm afraid they won't take me.
How do I know all this? My best friend still works there and is very, very happy. I made a mistake leaving but now my life is on an even keel. I made a lot of money there.
DRC good, bad, ugly?
Any info i.e. are they good to work for or anything would be appreciated.
99% good, No Bad, No Ugly ... sm
Except for a short period of time when work ran low on one account only my experience has been 99% good. No place is perfect, but I have absolutely no complaints. The people treat me like a human being, I love the platform, the sound quality is great, they pay the long distance bill, the benefits are superior. Best move I ever made.

the good, bad, and ugly
I was wondering if anybody out there would be willing to give the good and bad about what company they work at, or used to work at. I'm trying to figure out who it would be worthwhile to send resumes to and who I should just stay away from. I'm interested in the management, scheduling, line requirements, pay rate, benefits, and provided equipment. I'd greatly appreciate any info you have. Thanks!

MTS of Texas..the good, the bad, and the ugly..sm
Good: Pay on time, but the amount is almost always incorrect. Bad & Ugly: Pay by the minute. Owners will tell you it equals out to be the same as being paid by the line. NOT. They use Meditech - a very antiquated version of it. QA dept. is laughable (i.e., close enough, just leave it out). Little to no IT support. Owner recently sold the company to her son.

Looking for the good, bad, and ugly for the editing side of Diskriter
I checked archives, but all i found was old and I know companies change often, and it was all the transcription side of things, so thought I would see if anyone had info on how it is to be an editor. I have the info they pay hourly...how much per hour?
Thanks!!!

OSI - good/bad comments?

Good comments
Thanks for the good comments and sane observations.
In a perfect world we would all follow the Golden Rule and everyone would be happy.
Until then.........
Agree with comments above, good and bad, BUT SM
if you need insurance, FORGET IT. They recently implemented terrible insurance plan with high deductable (like $2000), no med coverage and $10,000 out of pocket expense for year.
Otherwise, it is just fine and I work on high level account with lots of ESL. Not a big problem. The company will work with terrible dictators to get them in line.
Just insurance stinks, as previously noted.
Does anyone work for TTS.. Good or bad comments?
I couldn't find anything in the archives. They are hiring right now and it sounded like they had really good benefits etc.

Exactly. That also goes for good and bad comments. Employers can be sued.
Employees can also be sued. Bad taste though and we do not need that type of thing. We have had enough of it on these boards.
All Type is a good company. There are comments down
this page. Just scroll down. You can check out their website at http://www.alltype.net
I know we need MTs.
I have a pretty good list. Any comments/corrections welcome. This is just from
what I have seen over the past few years in terms of growth, size and national accounts.
I put them alphabetical rather than size as I am not 100% on a few. There are 11 instead of 10 too.
This also leaves off a few that only have U.S. Editors with all work done offshore.
If I am missing any, I apologize. These are companies that I have seen at AHIMA, in magazines, on these boards, at AAMT, etc. I am not claiming perfection so I have omitted any, I apologize in advance.

Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
My experience was UGLY. Very ugly.
Just keep your other job until you're sure....good luck.
Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
transcend good or bad?
 Seriously - can anyone give me some info about Transcend? How is management? How is QA? How is the work - enough or not enough to keep busy?Would like to hear from MTs working for them now or have worked for them.
IMO - Transcend is as good as it gets!
I have worked for Transcend for 3+ years. I have also worked for other LARGE outsourcing companies and on-site for different medical facilities.
In my opinion, Transcend is at the top of the heap as far as professionalism and ethical standards are concerned. The company has grown substantially since I started and they continue to provide their employees improvements to the benefit packages every year.
Their typing/editing platform is state of the art, and to go with it is excellent training and prompt top-notch support when you need it. This is not something I have received anywhere else.
If you are a competent medical language specialist capable of doing a broad spectrum of work types, you WILL NEVER run out of work.
If work work third shift and meet your productivity requirements, YOU WILL ALWAYS get work before any off-shore personnel (if that exists on an account you are assigned to -- it's the customer's choice, not Transcend's).
In addition, if you need help with anything, your management team is just an email away! No long curious waits, here!!
If you are capable of learning the ESL and challenging dictators, you will end up doing transcription because those don't usually get processed through the editing platform, so if that's your cup o' tea, that is always an option, which is a profitable option I have taken advantage of, myself.
BOTTOM LINE -- If you are having such a hard time with a company such as Transcend, I doubt you will be happy anywhere. I know first hand that Transcend respects good employees and takes care of them well.
Transcend - good, bad, middle?
Anyone care to comment? They have oncology work and it's my thang...
