Are you a disgruntled former manager for them? I heard you all got fired.

Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah - i miss it there!
Who from management of OSI keeps writing in to pump themselves up to look great?
Did OSi hire somewhat to sit and post on MTStars all day good things so that people would apply there? This company kills me!
Keystrokes lead MTs and management team are great. I am sure I
will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.
The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.
DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

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

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.
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!
Hello Management
Give me a break! You are a supervisor, and I know who you are. Spare us this bologna.
SB
If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth? You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.
x
I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then. A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly. We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors. BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%. Isn't this the norm? Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better? So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better? They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports.
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON
NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm

Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter. I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company. I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in. Work flow lying is the main problem with this company. They say there is none, but, in fact, there is. They just turn you off. When there is work, why not give it to us??? This question has been asked by us more than once. Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends. I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO. I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me.
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.
All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?
(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)
NOT MANAGEMENT
But I love working for Transcend, what is wrong with someone saying that? They are flexible and do pay very well.
Management
Okay, now I KNOW management is posting here. I am the person who left 3 times. Twice due to medical. HOWEVER, I only made 2 friends at DSG who were not management, neither one is stil at DSG. Both told me to leave a long time ago. Both were treated badly and that is why they left. I never believed them.
Besides anyone who knows that I tried to come back a 4th time would have to be management, think about it!
I took Karen's advice and moved on. I am very happy where I am at and in fact, I am very thankful that DSG did not take me back as I would have stayed there forever and worked a lot longer/harder/dumber for less money than I am making now.
I do not have bad things to say about DSG, only that I was disappointnted that I was told I could come back if openings when my mother-in-law had recoverd and that was a lie or changed minds or whatever you want to say. I would not change the way things turned out. I am very happy where I am now. So THANK YOU DSG! They were good to me 3 times and 3 times I was charmed. There was just not meant to be a 4th time. Again, different people different experiences. Try DSG, don't try DSG no longer makes any difference to me. I will not dog DSG, but I will not defend them either. I hope Lynda's friend moves on as I did. I think she is better off if they did this to her after she stayed with them without leaving like I did for 4 years. 
Thank you - no I am not management.
But the happy ones are always accused of being management.
I am NOT Management
I have to say that my tenure at Transtech has been the most pleasant experience I have had with any national company. They do actually care about their MT's instead of just caring about the best way to screw them out of something. They are in a completely different class - and I hope they stay that way.
I am writing this to give encouragement to the disheartened MT's who have been bruised, berated, and battered by unqualified, uncaring, power-tripping people in Management - I have been there, and there is hope. There are good companies out there, and you just have to find them. Most of the people I know have not been fortunate enough to have found the perfect MTSO the first time around. We have job hopped too many times and it's no fun.
I miss the camaraderie of my former jobs in offices - but I make certain to keep up with my old friends, go to the gym, take continuing ed classes, go for a jog during the day, jump in the pool if it's warm, go to luncheons at church, get a massage, etc. It can get pretty depressing sitting in front of a computer all day, then when you get hounded for something that's not your fault in the first place by Management it makes you want to scream.
Job hop if you must. About 90% of these companies truly are awful, and the other 10% don't have the need to be constantly running ads because they are able to retain the BEST MT's, and TransTech is one of them.
I see where some companies have been trashed on here - and rightly so - such that they don't even bother posting ads anymore but they are still desperately hurting for MT's because thankfully MT's are not putting up with the abuse anymore. If you see on any job board, not just this one, companies who constantly have an ad up there most of the time it will be because they suck to begin with, not because they are growing and need new staff. You MT's know the companies I am talking about.
I wish everyone the same luck I have had. Now I am left alone to work, make more money than ever before (outside of the office) because I'm not constantly being harassed by a micromanager.
I would never want to be management, IMO
I would hate having to deal with the clients directly, always having to be reachable, and not to mention trying to keep track of multiple MTs. I'm much happier just straight typing.
Management
I hate to see the bad feedback all the time about OSi. I have been here a while too. Change is inevitable, growth is inevitable, and technology is ever changing - you have good and bad within every company. The account manager position is more like a liason position - you would be the representative for the company. Please, please, please - I love this company and I know we have our problems but if you plan on applying for this job you will be our first contact with new clients, make sure you are happy with OSi so we get a positive attitude from the start! If people that work at OSi are not having a good experience it is probably stemming from their immediate supervisor - TALK TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP! or better yet talk to your supervisor! If you dont communicate how do you expect anything to change?
New management
I do know that they are under new management.
I think your management is very
xx
J and J Management
Can anyone give me some information about J and J Management?
Because if they are management, what they say
s
Well at least now we know you are management.....
and probably aren't always quite up front with information here. I happen to know that they do outsource from time to time - and no, I'm not management, just a regular MT.
I am not management sm
I am sure that those in management who read this board, know exactly who I am. I am not ashamed of what I say here. There are certain things I would not say and have not said here, like what account I work on or who my supervisor and lead MTs are. I don't discuss our working relationship either. If there were a problem I would understand that half the problem is me because I am half the equation.
I know that some members of management at TT read this board from time to time. As I am sure they know who I am, they already know I don't say things I don't mean, my nose is not brown, I am not after being in management, and that I am honest and hard working, so I have nothing to worry about. There are ways to find out who some of you rumor spreaders are and I would not want to be YOU.
J and J Management ??
Anyone work for this company? Did not find them in the archives. Any info on platform, owners, pay, etc would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
How do like the management and sm
what is QA like? Are they tough? Helpful? Are you making decent line counts?
New management
There is new management at Focus and parent company is now much involved. A lot of accounts coming back on shore. We are all hoping for the best and so far so good.
No, I am not in management..........sm
and what I meant was that it is not our job to be on the decision-making team with regard to acquisitions and mergers. Certainly these things do impact us, but it is not our job to have a part in the decision-making process. The higher ups make the decisions concerning the company and we as MTs transcribe reports. It's as simple as that. The problem is not secretiveness but that everyone wants to be a part of the inner workings when they (and I include myself in this) in full knowledge of the business plan and financial workings of a company. Medical transcription is big business and big business, whether MT or the oil business or the stock market works that way.
Yes, we have surprises in store for us all right in many aspects of our lives. Sometimes we just have to roll with the punches, and if our work situation becomes such that we no longer agree with the process or are unable to make a living, then it is up to us to make a decision as to what we will do.
