I've gotten out of the MT service ghetto. I work for a hospital. And guess what...
There are rude people here too ----> GASP!
Maybe I should quit my $18 an hour, 800 line minimum requirement with 0.06 cpl incentive for anything over 1000 lines a day, awesome health and dental benefits, work at home job because I shouldn't have to deal with rude people, should I?

I worked for a lady's service who was bought out by Transcend
a few years ago and they offered her a position in the home office. She sold, had the job for a few months and then she was terminated. I know for a fact that Transcend said in a paper article in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution that they outsourced because could not find enough American MTs to do the work. Now what I find surprising is how many complain on here about sitting and waking for work for Transcend. Wonder how that happens?
Worked for an MT service that had a mistake on the cover of Employee Manual (sm)
That is bad. 
How many of you actually work for more than one service
and would you recommend doing so to others? I am very seriously considering working for two separate MTSOs PT. One would be day shift and the other evenings. I am wondering if others do this and find that they have better paychecks than when working for one MTSO full-time.
anyone work for D&L Typing Service?
Do they seem to have alot of accounts? Is pay still low?
anyone work for D&L Typing Service lately?
Looking for new info on this company. They had recent adds
Who is LK -- know TT did send some work to another service, but
but please let me know what you are saying because we TT'ers are very interested in what you are saying to us all -- I just know there is something very wrong with my line count. I have been doing this too long to not know how many lines I can get. I cannot put my finger on the problem -- I just know it does fall in my lap.
This is really disturbing to me.
If you work for a service, you are more likely to have all the specialties; however,
If an MT has for example only worked in house or for one hospital their specialties might be more limited. For instance, my first in-house job was for a hospital that specialized in high-risk OB and ortho, but the cardiology procedures and neurosurgeries were done at a sister hospital.
Now that I have worked for a service, there isn't a specialty in the hospital setting I haven't done.
Another thought - maybe, just maybe they are trying to match MTs up with the specialties they like best, not just have knowledge of - Now wouldn't THAT be a plus!
Just curious, do you work for a service? SM
I would love a 12-hour window of time.
Don't work for a service who offshores. Let them find someone else

So all MTs that work for a large service are bad MTs compared to those sm
that work for a smaller company? That could not be further from the truth. Some of the larger companies can attract better MTs with benefits, higher pay, etc than a smaller company ever can.
I think it depends on the MTs, not the service, as to the quality of the work.
I work for one of the companies the OP mentioned and the QA standards are MUCH more strict than smaller companies I have worked for in the past.
Talking about the ones who say you cannot work for another national MT service. nm

I work for MedQuest, a radiology service provider--sm
based in GA.
Transtech DID have a service help out with their work -- I know for a fact -- about a year ago.
How long have you been with TT? Anyone in mgmt will tell you that they outsourced work to another service in the past.
did you have to purchase equipment for this service to work or do they supply - nm

Viva Transcription Company out of California. Does anyone work for this service. If so,
would you be willing to share what they pay?
I work for Keystrokes and have never heard that you had to have digital phone service (sm)
I used Embarq for about 3 months and made the change to digital because I got the letter from Embarq saying I was wasn't allowed to use the unlimited long distance that much. I also switched to digital because it is cheaper and truly is unlimited long distance at the same rate every month. I was never once told by Keystrokes that I had to have digital. The only thing they ever told me was I had to have unlimited long distance.
Surgical Notes transcription service out of Texas...anyone work there?
Do they hire employes or IC? Platform? Thanks in advance ;0
Worked there once. Not much work then either.

ITA. I work for WMX, never worked for
Transolutions, but if you read the archives not much good said about Transolutions.
Anyone work or have ever worked for...sm
Allstate Transcription? Just curious as to different experiences.
I don't work for MDI, but I have worked as an IC. SM
Let me try to explain this as best I can. As an IC, you work when you want. That works well, except the company you work for needs the work done now; so they may tend to over-hire and the other issue being an IC, is that work tends to dry up over the summer and over holidays. That's a fact of life.
Many MT's who work as IC's, have more than one job.
Honestly, I have nothing to do with MDI and I work as an employee, because I need benefits and I need work.
Please look at all your options.
Wow! Is there always work? I wish I worked
Frustrating to have work controlled the way it is ESL or not. Never know what kind of low money or good money my day will bring, day or night, weekend or not. Care to share your job source without giving it totally away???
I don't work for TT, have never worked for TT.
So I don't know if the company I work for is necessarily better, but I love it. And, yes, there is loads of work and has been for the year that I have been employed there.
If you worked for a co. that did work for web, sm
how would you know what the web employee work situation was? That wouldn't be any of your business and I don't think the company is calling you to tell you they're giving you work while I am out of work.
If you work or have worked
for OSi specifically on ExText would love some feedback on the way they keep line counts and getting paid. you can PM or EM me if you would like
I worked for them, they are okay to work for. nm

I worked on that account for a while and want to work on it again. nm

Do you work on TWS3.8? I have worked SM
for Spheris for several years. My macroes were imported, so that was nice, but from what I can tell, they use Shorthand. Several MT companies have been bought out and they may have used different software programs.
Anyone worked/work for Beyond Words?
I searched multiple boards and have come up empty. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Kim
I only worked for them a month and had not enough work.....sm
I sat around more waiting for something (work was pooled) than actually transcribing...Look elsewhere! There are way better companies out there.
I work for them and worked for another company...sm
before them starting with them and was able to start with them at a later date (about a month after being contacted by them). It takes about a week or 2 to get the equipment so that you can set it up for the appointment for technical setup/support and training anyway. I've been with them now for 10 months and absolutely love it. If they contacted you for employment, then you definitely did pass their test. Good luck and welcome aboard!
When I worked there, they were always running out of work....
I don't know if that is still the case but was a major problem for me...
Anyone work or worked for Acusis? sm
Just wondering how they are as employer? Plenty of work? Productivity of platform, pay average or low? Thanks in advance.
Anyone work/worked for LMT Trans? They....
are in hot pursuit for radiology and psychiatry, she has called twice, but I am dealing with others, too, and I am frazzled. Just wanted to know any particulars about the company, nice to work for, any horror stories, etc??? Thank you all very kindly!
I work for FN but worked for MDI-MD for a few weeks...Go with FN! sm
I agree with the other poster. Futurenet is great! They are very respectable. A lot of working is going to SR now though. That is the only downfall I have for them. But they work with you on everything! If they offered benefits, which they don't, I don't think anyone could beat them whatsoever. Pay is ontime EVERY time! Excellent staff! I have been there for a little over 2 years and have thought about going other places ONLY for benefit purposes but I just can't! They are too good to leave! I will be with them as long as they will allow me to. Couldn't picture myself working for anyone else!
I worked last night and never ran out of work???
not sure why some are and some are not. Hmmm...maybe those running out are not staying signed in?
Anyone worked/work for Zylomed? nm

I have worked at MQ for about 9 years and have never run out of work. sm
I don't think that is the norm for most to run out of work at MQ.
I do not work for KS but have worked for enough companies to know that sm
you are on your own for training after a brief training for the most part but that if you ask questions, you will get answers. I would prefer that, with a good manual, than sitting in a few 8-hour days of training, which has happened at 2 companies. I learn fast and get bored with long training. Different strokes for different folks :)
Because I worked for MQ and didn't have work

I still have never run out of work the entire 1.5 yrs I have worked sm
there (with the exception of the holidays), and every single time I have asked to be put on another (additional) account, they have happily done so.
I worked for KS and though I didn't work on the
account I experienced the same situation with them. It doesn't matter what the account was.
Has anyone worked for DocuMed, and how are they to work for?
I tested for an orthopedic account. Just wondered if they are honest, pay on time, etc.
Nobody said slow down. They said work your own shift. If everyone worked when they

Would work for JLG before Transcend, having worked at both previously. nm

Funny. I worked a year and NEVER ran out of work (sm)
I was on one account. Literally only one time in the entire year did I have to go to a second account. However, I can do every single work type and have tons of experience. There were some ESLs, but it's nothing like the tough ESLs I'm getting elsewhere.
OTI was wonderful. It remains the best company I have ever worked for, and I've worked for many. I left because there weren't benefits, and I had to have them. If not for that, I'd be with them. Great people.
Their QA leaves you alone unless there's a problem. They don't give you QA scores - you either do an acceptable job, or you will hear from them.
You work when you want, just get the line count in every week. There's no schedule.
Software is a little dated, but not really MT unfriendly. Just could be improved. Not made by MTs and needs more input by MTs.
Friendly people. Absolutely the best out there if you don't need benefits.
worked 3 yrs, went to work for local hospital nm

When I worked for Keystrokes, I NEVER had enough work to make
even 1000 lines a day! If I had enough work, maybe, but I NEVER did. It ALL depends on your account 150%!!
Very good place to work. When I worked there
I was paid $0.10 Canadian per line with spaces. That was before the US dollar went below the Canadian dollar. I think they hire mostly US MT's as there aren't enough in Canada. I think you can also get employee status there. Great bunch of people. I would highly recommend them.
I worked for them a year ago and quit, but now I work for them again and....
I am very happy. I could never get any work before or if I had a question I could never get it answered. I am now on a different platform at a different hospital and am happy. Pay is also always on time (direct deposit.) I could care less if they are indian run, they pay me on time and leave me to my work.
Anyone work or worked for Administrative Assistants LLC out of Michigan?
Need input as to pros/cons.
