Who would you choose as far as platform, benefits, and pay goes.. and also stability of accounts. Bouncing around on accounts is a good way to lose productivity in a hurry..

Are you limited to only working 40 hours a week or can you work as many hours as you want?

P.

My vote would be for TransTech, although Webmedx is not bad.  Since I was only part-time, I did not receive any benefits, but from what I recall, they did seem to have a nice benefit package.  My main complaint was that I just never could get my lines per hour up to where they have been at other companies.  Normally, I average around 300 lines per hour, but even with totally focusing and typing as fast as I could, I never could get past 250-260 lines per hour at Webmedx.  Their incentive pay is based on lines per hour that you type, not total lines per pay period, so it did make a difference in my pay.  I also did not like the fact that I had to use their computer.  I like using my own computer, and also like the flexibility of being able to load the program on my laptop so if I have to be away from home, I can still work if I need to.

I have seen negative posts about TT, but I have no complaints with them.  My line counts are fair.  The people in management are absolutely some of the most caring people I have ever met.  The work generally is plentiful, and I have a backup account.  The incentive tiers are easy to attain, and the benefits are pretty good, I think, and not outlandishly priced.

Obviously, not every company is a good fit for everyone.  I hope you find just exactly what is best for you -- good luck!

I am applying with Transform, UST (US Transcription), Keystrokes, and MDI (though they're IC and I'd prefer benefits).  Who would you recommend?  I have heard good things about all of these companies and will have trouble deciding.

Thanks :)

You decide what you're going to commit to daily and turn it in.  You have 24 hours to get your line commitment in that day.  Pretty cool, huh?

Go with your gut.  If you're second guessing yourself, there's probably a good reason for it.  There will always be another client, but a bad reputation will be a lot harder to overcome. 

Make sure the person who is taking your order understands and speaks coherent English.  I called on 2 separate occasions to open an account, and both times the customer service representative repeated my credit card number INCORRECTLY to me.  This made me very uncomfortable as far as their competency.

Additionally, after these occurrences, I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor or manager and was told that he is in a meeting now and that there was no one else of higher authority that I could speak with.  The call ended by the customer service rep asking me to call back later.  What a hoot!  Yea right buddy. NOT!!!!

Any comments on either good or bad?  Thanks.

Pay is about the same though benefits are better at Axoltol.  Both have a fairly high percentage of ESLs. 

Both have lots of good comments.  

I don't have to decide today but in the next couple of days.   I thought about trying both for a couple of weeks, but I'm already exhausted and don't know how I could do that.  Also Axolotol provides computer so I'd hate to get it and a week later send it back. 

The new job is MT but it is not straight typing.  It is basically putting reports together from a check list with occasional regular transcription.  Will also be building reports from handwritten documentation.  The doctors are all available and do not mind you asking if you cannot read something.  I met all 11 of them today.  There is 1 week vacation time the first year, 2 years after that.  Med insurace is $30 per pay check is very good.  Family is around 120 per check.  They have retirement as well.  It is also 8-5 M-F.  All holidays off and paid.  Now, here is the drawback.  They only start at 13.50 per hour.  They do give annual raises of a minimum of 5%.  Travel is not a big issue as it is only 10 minutes or less from my house.  The low pay I am a bit worried about.  What is your opinions?  All are appreciated.  Also one last thing, this is a specialty clinic and I have always done acute care but know the specialty well.

So far these are the two companies that have offered me a job and I have been reading not so nice feedbacks.  Since I have no choice right now and I need a job immediately, I would like to ask anyone if I have to choose between the two? Which one do you think I should choose?  Your inputs will be greatly appreciated
