I agree with all of you - management cares, my ROM is great, my TL is great and I got a nice hand-signed card and gift card for the holidays. I have no idea where all the negativity comes from, but I can assure people that we have some very happy people on board.

You get my vote
I am in full agreement. Whoever it is, I feel sorry for them because their entire life mus be miserable! Nasty, nasty attitude.
Actually the HOD will vote on a
name change .. there is a committee in place to make recommendations. I am not so sure that membership across the country wants to change the name (and it costs money) but the vote will be taken this summer. I guess what I wonder is which do you prefer .. the jobs going overseas or voice recognition creeping in and changing the lives of many of us? How do you have input if you do not become involved and speak for change and lobby for change and live and breathe it since it affects you so dramatically. The association works at the direction of the membership and so unlike previously, the board is made up of working MTs. We have created a world that is flat with the advent of the internet .. the cat is already out of the bag and all the salvos have been thrown. I can't really find a way to blame AAMT, but I sure can blame some of the bigger companies with their bean counters who are looking at money only, not patient care. I can blame the government who spoon feeds us information that is distilled and I can grumble all over the place, but nobody hears me except the dog. I have 32 years into this profession and I see it eroded daily by poorly trained personnel, inferior equipment, MTSOs who only see profit, and a medical community indifferent to the caliaber of work being put out by many who sit and scream the loudest. Then I come here and all I can say is .. oh boy!!
DSG also gets my vote! nm

Kind and professional people, great benefits, lots of work!
Here's another vote for MDI-MD
I would vote TT
I'm relatively new with TT. I love EXText, though, and have used it many many times in the past. Very user-friendly platform. All communication I have had with their company is awesome. They are very friendly and easy to work for. So far haven't had any difficult dictators.....perhaps difficult reports, don't want to mislead you. Pay is above-average after incentives, etc. So far also have not run out of work. I'm not one of the rah rah rah people for them, but in my experience I haven't seen a better MTSO and I have worked for several others in the past. Never MQ, but I'm scared of them. LOL I really think you would enjoy working for them. You may feel free to email if you've got any questions.
You got my vote!!!
I don't come here often but I cannot believe the behavior of this poster!!!!!
I would vote they probably have an ad somewhere
Maybe you're not aware of the situation of the whole company and they may be hiring based on future plans. If someone has received an offer, that's their business and you might not be aware of all things transpiring behind the scenes. If someone got an offer, maybe they should go for it based on other stats on the company.
Another vote for MDI-MD!
Expectations are high, but it's a great company.
Another vote for MDI
The good thing about the 5 reports/20 minutes, is that you can keep your current MT job (they actually suggest that you do) while trying out MDI. I've always found it scary to quit a job, jump to another company and immediately have a production quota to meet while still trying to figure out the new platform and account(s). Maybe I'm just a slow starter, but I really appreciated the limit on reports while in training. They do this with every new account you train on. I've bounced around some in this business, and starting with MDI was about the most comfortable transition I've experienced.
gets my vote for best so far!!
First Choice gets my vote! nm
MQ Monrovia gets my vote, too nm
Another vote for Interpro
:O
thanks for the vote of confidence..sm
 I just hate waiting...don't know why I'm stressing so much bout this, it's not like I don't have a job...thanks!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. It still would have been
them to have said while I was spending $500 to get a new computer
in order to type their work, that they probably would not have SE
in a couple of months, and just rent a computer until I could move over
to Employee status.
But you know what, when I was an employee they made it impossible to
make the lines in order to be an employee because I mostly crap and was
working 12 hours to get 1000 lines (and I know I can do acute care as
I have done this work for 20 years and had just left a hospital acute care setting where I had no problem making 1200 lines a day.
I'm just about ready to dump this whole thing. But thanks for your
reply. I'm still steamed that in dozens of phone calls my supervisor
couldn't have shared any of this with me. That's what she's there for.
Keytrokes has my vote!
I've only been there a few months...but the management is friendly and helpful, and my leads have been great. I agree with the other poster - wages are decent, benefits are good, work has been plentiful - what's not to like? Good luck! 
Keystrokes has my vote also
They have the best people to work for. My account has to be the best, plenty of work.
Another vote for Keystrokes (nm)
SoftScript has my vote
They have a courteous staff at every level. They offer a lot of support including matching new hires with experienced SoftScript MTs AND a real-time SS MT on messenger to answer sticky questions as you work. They pay promptly. They have a page full of contacts for every problem you can imagine, and my emails have always been answered promptly. If you run out of work, you can email them and be put on another account within an hour. They have classes so that you can train upwards. The platform is simple to use. There is a help page for every aspect of your MT work from the platform to lists of towns near the clincs you transcribe for. They are constantly making small improvements to help MTs. They are in regular email contact but they do not hassle you while you work. And, their line rate is competitive for a national. They even have a fun bonus program, and they write and say thank you (and to some of us, that does matter.)
Perhaps the old SoftScript was different, but the current SoftScript gets an A+ from me.
Keystrokes has my vote 110%
I work for Keystrokes and I love, love, love them. I am always left alone to do my work, and my account lead is the best! The employee intranet is so easy to use and it only takes a second to enter in your line counts at the end of your shift. At the end of the pay period, you just click on end pay period and you're done! They are also EXTREMELY flexible. I would recommend them to anyone.
VOTE NO FOR AMPHION
Amphion is the place to work if you really enjoy feeling used and abused.
My vote is for Keystrokes...
I love it there!!!
My vote is for Keystrokes!!!

I vote for Keystrokes...
I have been there for over 2-1/2 years and I love it...great company
I vote for OSi ~ Employer of the Year!!
I vote for acute care.

After trying a couple of MTSOs, my vote is TTS
Been there for a couple of months now and don't have any complaints, nice place to work, fair with line counts, flexible, love my account and platform, and all are helpful when needed. Worked for MQ for 20 years, the switch was nice and easy, and now I have far fewer headaches than when with the Q! My vote is TTS.
Facilities have to have employees vote
on whether to accept a union or not at their place of employment or not. If the majority of employees vote no, then a union does not go into that specific facility.
Don't forget the option to vote this down (sm)
I think it's 10 votes to discard a post that gets the nasty post removed. I'd love to see more people using that feature here.
Please vote posts like the one above down. Just 10 votes. sm
People must not be voting or posts like that one wouldn't remain here. I'd love to see everybody using this feature to make the site friendlier.
Now you can make voice known & VOTE

I also vote for Instant Text. nm

Having worked for Spheris before, I'd vote for Webmedx.
I tried to get on with them, but I was working three part-time IC jobs at the time so I couldn't get their test files completed on time. I got maybe two hours of sleep three nights in a row because I had so much work dumped on me. Blown chance! I wish I'd blown off the IC jobs and finished the test instead. The test reports were easy enough for me to do. I asked for an extension on the test due date, but never heard back from them. I understand their need for TAT, but they have to realize that it's tough to squeeze testing into an already overloaded schedule. I'd much rather work one steady job than three IC contracts.
Another Sennheiser vote. I have the sport version.

Dont know who died but Oh Brother has my vote.

DSG IS MY WORST COMPANY VOTE... DONT WORK THERE...
I agree, they are unprofessional and rude. They throw you into a pool that they have overhired for and there is not enough work to go around... then they cry and complain when youre not hitting your production. They set impossible standards.... unless youre a brown-noser, in which case, see those peoples posts as the ones who would say anything positive about DSG. Its like the movie Mean Girls, and the mean girls are running the show there.
I vote for MOVE ON!! Sounds terrible, and I doubt
Good luck to you, and so sorry this happened.
I also vote for Webmedx - used to work for the Q, left long ago sm
Have not worked for Transcend or SoftScript so can't judge. I agree with the above poster; pay good, shift diff, PTO, decent bennies. Lots of work. Keep in mind there are two parts of Webmedx - the one on Enterprise platform and ChartMatrix; the ChartMatrix side seems to have more negative reviews.
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm
nm
We heard Transcend is buying Keystrokes next. I'm not working for Transcend. No Way !

If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
If 10 people vote to have post removed it is removed
automatically. Look near the bottom of this post and click on the blue vote/moderate and go from there. I've already voted, so need 9 more. This person does need to be banned though and as they represent themselves as being SS management, then SS should also be banned.
It is not Transcend. Transcend has not had control of
the accounts long enough to make any changes to anything. Maybe your account just slowed down like a lot of others did over the last few weeks. Everything will run status quo for a few months before any major changes are implemented. And give Transcend a chance. It is a good place to work and you will finally have some benefits that you will enjoy.
Transcend
I just got an email from an MT who loves Transcend. She told me she gets 15,000 lines per pay period as she gets a lot of VR (voice recognition)reports.
She gets around 8 cents a line for a report she has to transcribe "from scratch," but if she gets a VR report, she only gets 5.5 cents a line.
However, she says even with the 5.5/line, she makes 15,000 lines a pay period as the VR reports are very quick and easy to do. She did not mention anything overall about Transcend; just that she really likes her job and the lines she's able to get each day. I am looking for an MT job, but it's really hard as you have no idea what you will end up with even if you do get hired.
You might get terrible dictation, no VR reports, templates, etc. Or some of them require you to have your own equipment which I would prefer to use their equipment.
Does anyone know who is hiring?
Enough about Transcend.
I know, let's pick on another company for S&G's!
x-transcend
Webmedx and Amphion.
transcend
The forum at transcend is full of people angry and complaining bitterly about the new platform and the horrible sound quality. Someone said she had worked on an account for 10 years and now cannot understand the people she has always transcribed. And as for getting ahead, there are a select group of people who are taken care of at Transcend and newbies are part of that, they get raises because they get the easiest work picked out for them. You wont see them with foreign doctors or short reports or the same crappy work day after long day. If it is so wonderful why did a person that left another large company to be a supervisor only stay about 4 weeks and she is already gone??? Probably because once she was in her position, she had morals and could not believe the unfairness with which work is "doled out" and saved and while others never get a break. there is not one thing fair about assigning work and there never will be!!! This is a voice recognition company that has no regard for people as human beings.
transcend
how can anyone think that a company that is going to voice recognition and cutting pay in half, from 8 cents to 5.5 to edit, how can that be good for transcriptionists anywhere. this is all about them making a profit off of your back. For years transcriptionists have been underpaid, 6 cents, 7 cents, while owners of services make 25 cents or more a line and never share it. voice recognition just puts more in their pockets!!! It is just a new way to rip us off. Transcriptionists are the modern day factory workers, sweat shop laborers with no voice, no union, and we just keep taking it and they take our jobs away from us with voice recognition or cut our pay in half to have a job. If you call that fair, they you are in the right position. Nothing in our society goes backwards in price - except the pay of the transcriptionist!!!
