Do they offer full-time and part-time? If so, what are line requirements.  Do you have to do your lines within an 8-hour time frame? Is their platform Word based? Audio transferred via internet or phone? Lines calculated 65 characters with spaces? Do they start as high as 10 cents a line? Do you run out of work often? Sorry to have so many questions, but wanted to avoid wasting my time and theirs based on above. Thank you.

Keystrokes contacted me early last week about employment and sent me all the pertinent papers to sign and return.  I faxed everything back and was told they would be getting an ID for me for the account I'll be working on.  I haven't heard anything else.  Should I be concerned, or does it just take awhile for things to get moving? I realize there's been a holiday too which slows things down.

I got an offer from Keystrokes and had some questions for others employed there. 

How is the family health insurance?  Expensive?

I will be working on the account that is 80% ESL, easy to meet line requirements?

When the recruiter talks about your 'liscense' please what does that mean?  I'm not entirely clear on that one.

I should be getting my paperwork in a couple days then getting started.  I'm looking forward to working with you all. 

How does Axolotl define a line?  Do they pay for spaces, headers, footers, & expansions?  Are you docked for blanks or sending things to QA?  If so, how much.

Thanks for the info.

Have a fabulous 4th!

Are they actually growing and picking up accounts that quickly or are people leaving like crazy?

Any current info appreciated?   Have been considering their 35 hours for FT benefits sounds good.  They also state flexible schedule.  Can't beat that if it is true.

Hi,

I am currently looking into Webmedx and have a few questions for those of you that work for them:

1.  How do you keep track of you hours? Do you have to punch in on internet such as eTime?

2.  What is their software and how user friendly is it?

3.  How flexible are they with schedules? I understand you have a 12-hour window, how does that work?

4.  How is their pay, good, bad or same as other nationals? Do they base pay on experience? Do they give raises after an appropriate amount of time or do you have to beg for them?

I am sure I will think of more, but this is it for now.

Thanks!

I've been an MT for 7-1/2 years and have always worked as an IC and we used my husband's benefits, but these have been cut recently so I am looking for a company offering good benefits.  I am wondering what Webmedx's benefits are like.  Are vision and dental avalible?  Do they offer a 401K?  Do they have direct deposit and how often MT's are paid (montly, bi-monthly, etc)?  I'm aslo wondering if they hire for specific shifts with set hours or do you have any imput into the hours you would like to work once you are hired?

Thanks!

I am relatively new to Webmedx having come from over a decade with MQ.  I see the postings about accounts that have OT authorized and to please help where we can.  Is this too good to be true?  At MQ we would be in big trouble for working extra without specific authorization from our supervisor. TIA.

I'm yet another unhappy CQI/QA member at Webmedx and have to say a big THANK YOU to anyone who has ever spoken up about their negative experiences at Webmedx (though I understand anybody who's too afraid to speak publicly, which seems to be the majority of the QA department!). I realize that it takes much more courage to speak up than kiss up or stay quiet, so I always appreciate anybody who comes to these boards and posts.   And anybody who's been in this industry any amount of time knows that the adage all mention of the company is good advertising doesn't apply to this field.  Things have definitely taken a turn for the worst with the QA portion of the company, IMO.

I have questions about Transhealth, which has been recommended as an alternative to doing QA at Webmedx.   I'd like to know what the upper management of TransHealth is like.  Is the person who manages the QA department someone with a background in MT, or is it someone who is a data puncher but doesn't even do that well?   Do they express support for QA, or do they seek to squelch communication online and in the department through intimidation because they're afraid of criticism and fallout of their decisions?  Do they have several people at the top who handle different departments, or do they have one person in several roles, perhaps all of which they're unqualified for?   What kind of quota is there, and how are you paid?   Does ALL your work count toward the quota, or do you find yourself doing a lot of work that doesn't qualify? 

I realize this is much to answer.    Please feel free to add anything else you'd like that would help me make a choice.  Thank you!

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.

employees have to wait a YEAR?  Isn't that a little unfair and discriminatory???

And since when is $12-15 an hour considered GOOD in this profession?

Is this thread real?  April Fool's Day isn't for another 4-1/2 months!

Every single MT company is full of BS these days.  They turn our homes into sweat shops, they cut our pay.  They have no consideration for our feelings.  MTs are job hopping just looking for a decent deal.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a company with high standards.  A company who gave so much in the way of decent treatment, time off, flexibility, civilized treatment, appreciation and good pay, and I mean very good pay.  Can you imagine what it would be like to have every MT in this godforsaken lousy business clamoring for a job with your company?  All you have to do is be FAIR, pay decent WAGES, treat people like HUMANS instead of machines.  You would never be posting a help wanted ad.

Man, I wish I could do it myself.  I would have the best, brightest MTs out there becasue I would attract and draw them to my wonderful company instead of nickle and diming them to DEATH. 

throwing muck and personal attacks all over the place, especially at the company (ies) they left.  I also know the company monitors the board which resulted in the formulation of the language of not allowing the company named to be posted.

As for not wanting a good thing to leak out, I've always been a cheerleader and am of the opinion that if I can help my employer grow by being a good employee and bringing other good employess to them, then that adds to my job security and a recognition by the company of my being loyal to them.

Maybe that's the part that has so baffled.

I got hired for Radiology not acute care...

I only mentioned that again because there were some posters last week who were running out of work at MDI-MD and were afraid they overhired but I think those were acute care MTs...

at a company where I worked for 4-1/2 years from home, then about 10 months in the office.  I ended up leaving  the company because of what I saw happening within the office.  The owner was a great person, but left much of the day-to-day operations to the office manager.  If someone called in and needed extra cash because they wanted to put a child in a private school, she would take work from someone else and give it to the needy person...now keep in mind that the person needing the extra cash didn't actually HAVE to work because of the husband's income and the person whose work was taken away was single and had no other source of income.

This is just one example, but it happened like this A-L-L the time I was in the office.  I lost total respect for the OM and then for the owner for knowing it was happening and allowed it to continue.
