GREAT - so as long as the next cut is under 32% we will still be making big bucks, right? nm

Sounds great as long as you are a fast learner
Keystrokes must be a great company or landing a a lot of new contracts hiring all of these people. 
A wax doll, a long straight pin, and a lock of hair - great therapy. nm

Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah - i miss it there!
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS). I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account. So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com. The management seems to really care and they work with you.
Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
That''s great and I've heard they pay great as well.
I just have heard a lot of adjectives for a few accounts - zinger, killer, impossible, etc., and I sure know I couldn't hack it there. But I'm sure they know what they are getting into when they sign up. 
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm
It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage. Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.
Good luck!
Wow - you all have given me great, great things .. sm
to think about and consider. I know myself well enough that I realize I don't always things through well enough before acting.
I do appreciate everyone's comments - both pro and con. This is exactly why I decided to ask for opinions. Thanks so much for not laughing at me and just saying that a hospital job is always the way to go. I'm pretty sure that I'll apply, and I already feel better prepared. You all are great!
Yep, they get great lines and great QA
yeah I see your point - because all the crap dictations go to everyone else :( Kind of makes steam come out of your ears doesn't it LOL
anyone who has been in the biz long enough should know sm
that summer time is usually slow. This has been my experience, anyway. I'm glad I gave MQ a chance, it's worked out wonderfully! 
How long ago were you with them?
And how long did you stay with them? Thx.
well it was certainly not that long ago.
This is just the truth. I think people should be aware of things that have happened. She probably won't have any problems, but it does happen.
How long did it take
after submitting your resume before you heard from them?
Thanks. May I ask how long ago that was
and possibly why you left, issues with company?
how long have you been there.....
are they going VR? How long did it take you to get used to the platform and make decent money after training? Do they doc your pay for mistakes? How is QA. How many lines can you do there a day and is the work consistent, i mean really consistent? Has there been anything that you don't like, if so what? thank you so much
How long have you been with TH?
Can you give specifics on thier benefits?
How long
have you been working for them? IC or employed?
how long ago was that?
Was it recent or before their personnel adjustments?
How long have you been with them?
nm
been too long for me
it has been months, at least two. i guess i should give up.
that should be not, rather than now. Long day. LOL.

Wow, that's not long at all. nm

You were not there long enough to get (sm)
picked on. Lucky you!! Believe me those people are crazy!!
Not for long....
oh yeh we do if you have been around here long enough
.
How long did the FBI take for you.
I just want to get working. Thanks
I'm not sure how long it took,
but I started no later than 2 weeks after all my paperwork was signed and sent in. So I don't know if they finished the background check before I started or not. About a month later, I got a notice from the DOT notifying me that they checked my driver's license records, but that's the only info I got back.
I also have to agree with several posts above about the comments about being a hospital employee. I also was hired as an employee of the hospital, and yes, the process is a little more involved, but it was no more involved than when I was hired for an inhouse position at a local hospital. It is just the hospital's requirements. Diskriter did pay for everything and I have no indictation whatsoever they they sold my info to telemarketers.
The pay is average, but I also agree with the poster above that it is offset by the fact that you are working on only one account, plus the benefits are better than any national out there. I am making more $$ than in my 15 years of MTing than I ever have (45K+).
Oh, another plus is that they do pay an hourly wage for downtime (system problems, no work). This is also a big plus in my opinion.
Good Luck.

RE: Going On Too Long
I need to find a new IC job. To make a long story short, I work for a very small local company as an IC (just 3 transcriptionists). I guess the reason why I stay is because it's so flexible. I can work in the morning, have the afternoons off and then work again in the late evening when my daughters are asleep. I have 24 hour TAT. I'm supposed to be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month. For the last two months instead of the 1st and 15th, I've been getting my paycheck on the 13th and 28th if I'm lucky. Right now I'm still waiting for my check from the 1st.
Again, I know I'm crazy to stay, so you don't have to say it for me, but this is my first IC job and I'm a little scared to leave.
I guess what I'm asking is do you know of a good company that hires IC that use lines rather than hours or is flexible with hours so I can try to keep my same schedule? I know there have been a lot of posts in the past about this, but I was hoping for some recent information from someone who works for a good company.
I'm just so frustrated at this point.
How long ago where you at WMX? sm
Been there 4 years and we have only had 1 male supv during that time, and he is the best MT supervisor I've come across in 20 years as an MT. 
not too long
I applied late one evening to a job they had posted last month. They called me back that morning and the next day offered a position. I have been working for them for 3 weeks now.
