Posted By: NC acute care hospital employee position on 2008-10-21

We are looking for someone who is in the Charlotte, Concord, Lake Norman general vicinity (or relatively close) for a remote Transcriptionist position (after a reasonable training period). Dictaphone platform, great benefits, good line rates, hospital employee status, extremely generous PTO, very few ESL's, and wonderful work environment. Prefer candidates within commuting distance for training, etc. E-mail for details and information on applying. We need to fill this position as soon as possible.

I know better than to post this on their internal message board, as anything that is not 100% happy gets deleted.

This is the 2nd week in a row of technical issues on the client's end vs issues on our end, with the MTs caught in the middle, having to twiddle their thumbs during their scheduled shift, then give up their scheduled days off and work like mad playing catchup.  I guess I just want to vent and commiserate.  Anybody else in my boat?

I guess it is all in how you look at it.  Everything you see on that page is neg, very little positive.  They are very strict about keep to your appointed scheduled.  No deviation incidentals like (Thunder and lightening, tornadoes, etc.).  They expect you to make it up.  Working in a pool from across the country.  Rarely in a primary account for more then a few jobs every shift.  Pay rate might be okay when compared to across the board with other companies, but what you have to put up doesn't make up for that.  Then, there is whole sale of the company thing, won't go there.  I personally do not want to work for a company that will eventually go completely to Indian workers, mabe not this week, but in the long run it will. 

I think you would get a lot of people telling you to run as fast as you can.  Read the board for yourself and make your own informed decision.

Good Luck in your search.  

In thinking about all the comments made about us making a positive change for this profession, I thought of one suggestion.  What if we ask for a new forum on this board called Recruiting, to actually help those of us who are looking for jobs.  We can post questions, and the recruiters of various companies who post jobs on the job boards can frequent this board and give us true and honest answers to those questions.  This way, we would have direct access to finding out the facts, rather than just relying on what sometimes ends up just being Run away fast type of answers posted by disgruntled MTs.  They can answer questions about platforms, hiring processes, etc. If companies have nothing to hide, then they shouldn't shy away from such discussions.  What do you all think?

Is there a forum or board for Keystrokes employees?  Just wondering.  I am starting in a few days.

Thanks.

and see what they did to a great group of people.  This company is going down the tubes fast.  I don't want to work for a company like this any more, and I'm spending the day sending out resumes. 

And to you and anyone else who read it, did you go back and try to read it again, only to find that it was GONE?  Um... yeah.

Every single thing you have said is true.  Every word of it. 

Time to jump ship or drown.

thousand times. THE GRAMMAR POLICE IS NOT NECESSARY.  This is supposed to be a place where MTs can let their hair down. Afterall, they are not getting paid to post, so if it's not perfect, so what? 

Daphne, I emailed you privately.
