Well la-ti-da, who gives a hoot anyway?
And may you fail miserably for showing off in public. My mother always said bragging would make you fail. 
What a Hoot! Yep, I have personal experience with
Bet this thread will get deleted by morning. Heavens, run from a Christian company that plays the Christian card. I have run into two - TRS and Transcend. Both totally lied to me about their plans for offshoring, as in international labor partners! TRS was in the process of actually training their own batch of Trinidad MTs, while Transcend was doing the same thing, all while swearing to me that they would never entertain the idea - America only!! Yep, they didn't entertain the idea, they were doing it at the time of the lie! So guess that might count a wee bit less than a bald face lie?? Now when I hear someone play the Christian card at me as a potential employer, I run. Immediately. The true ones don't have to wear it on their sleeve. They just have integrity and can usually tell someone with similar values.
They don't give a hoot - they'll take the poor quality for less money.
It is clear nobody is held responsible for poor quality medical transcription - do you often hear of lawsuits for errors on dictated reports? How about JCAHO failing a facility for errors on reports? Rare. And as an auditor I have seen what gets through. Either nobody checks or nobody cares. Part of the problem with MT rates. Very unfortunate.
Oops, don't know why it showed
no message.
All set, my 13 year old showed me how
NM
At least YOU showed some class and maybe
reflect on how to treat valued employees. Good for you! Boo for your bosses.
I used CS at a hospital, and the manager showed
me how it was possible to assign a wide range of values to different things you have to type. It was 5 years ago, but I was surprised at how specific the settings could be - much more detailed than just counting by the line. It could detect spaces and pay you much lower increments for that stroke if they wanted to, but still you might be technically paid something for each space! They can also use it to help the MTs, buy weighting certain dictators so you actually make more for the certain ones that everybody agreed were more difficult. Most services are not going to show their MTs how they set these things.
Katrina showed us a thing or two about how
animals are treated in THIS country, not to mention the people. (It was the government who PURPOSEFULLY cut funding to repair the levee...)
We are ALL paying much more now to fix the problem than would have been paid to properly maintain and prepare the area. AND new legislation is on the books to protect care for animals in hurricanes.
WHEN are we going to learn? PREVENTION is far less expensive than ANY punishment or fix?
because it showed 10 times the same mistake
in this post and ironically regarding 'MT, MT's, MTs and MTs', and blabbering how much MTs are taken advantage of....
Excuse me, but nobody showed up for work, just excuses
To whoever said they were hired, and then no work. Nobody showed up for work. I hired Carol (for the 2nd time), sent her work assignments, and again I woke up with no work, just excuses why she could not work, again the second time. In fact, several Transcriptionist (the same ones over and over) keep answering the ad, and then never show up for work.
As for 26 surgeries, yes. Got the operative reports and scars to prove it.

Faxed them resumes twice last year when their ad showed up. Never got a reply. nm

Never mind, MQ tech support showed me how to activate mail. nm

I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run

That's a hoot! Must have supv approval. The supv works 8-5 MF in different
No, stupid is too nice a word.
At my company I'd ask for $18; probably wouldn't get it, but I wouldn't go lower. nm

Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

I wouldn't do it again...
I was trained on one portion of an account (4 new hospitals they got), and it was GREAT! I loved it, told my husband I was SO happy working with them. Then, training ended ... I got switched to the hospital I was hired for (although no one told me that during training), and OMG - it's AWFUL. I can't make a dime. It's either all ESLs that I absolutely cannot understand (and I've been doing ESLs for a long time), or English-speaking guys that are terrible. My rate has gone down tremendously. And, if you have tech problems - you have to e-mail tech support and wait for them to respond. So, like this weekend, I have tech problems and am sitting here with my thumb up my nose waiting for a dopey teckie to get on my problem. I begged them, in an e-mail of course, to CALL me so we could resolve the problem and I could get back to work. Still waiting for that phone call, and it's been since yesterday evening. So, no $$$. About a month ago, I would have told you - GREAT place to work. Right now, I'd have to tell you to RUN AWAY!
I wouldn't do it
Diddles:
To me these things are a big red flag about a company. My reaction would be that they are very controlling and if they are trying to control your speech on the Internet there will be many worse things to come.
I believe a lot of these companies make you jump through hoops, i.e., testing, paper work, etc. before they give you any answers about specifics just so you WILL feel like you have already invested a lot in time and emotion and will not turn back, which is another very good reason to not allow them to silence us on the Internet. There is very valid information to be shared about companies which is neither bashing nor praising but just that - information allowing us to make a decision about whether a company would be a good fit for us or not - BEFORE doing all the testing.
You must have some doubt in your mind about this or you would not be here asking the question. Go with your gut instinct. There are many good companies out there who do not impose these types of restrictions. 
LOL - wouldn't last a day at TSI.. is that
supposed to be a compliment? LOL....
I wouldn't say that...sm
most companies do not say how much they pay because anyone that was any good would not even test then. They also do not base pay on how well you do on the test. You could ace it and still get offered 7 cpl because that is what they start at, no matter how much experience and knowledge you have. Raises are also few and far between. jmo
I wouldn't
It took 7 weeks of my waiting around to get work and then they finally got me on an account and there was no work. One problem after another. Passed between departments, no one ever giving the complete story.
Sad way to run a business in my opinion.
I wouldn't even consider it!
There are MUCH better companies out there...and ones that pay every 2 weeks as opposed to monthly! I would NEVER take a job that paid only once a month!
...nm up there. Pay wouldn't go over 9 cpl not even with

I wouldn't...
I am an experienced MT with 30+ years of experience. I just left this company. First of all, they outsource ALL of the good job types/dictators to India. Secondly, whatever the Indians can't do, they send to ASR. If you are happy to be relegated to an ASR Editor making peanuts, or transcribing the really, really bottom of the barrel reports, then go for it. If you are looking for respect, honest and open communication, plus decent pay, I wouldn't touch this with a 10-foot pole. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Precyse.
you wouldn't know...
you are not morbidly obese. Until you have lived a day in my shoes, save your opinions for someone who cares.
And they wouldn't be the only
xxx
I wouldn't run s/m
I would politely tell that recruiter where he could put his job and that would be where the sun doesn't shine! This should tell you what kind of integrity this company has. Congratulations to you for doing the right thing and giving appropriate notice.
P.S...... and I wouldn't be doing this for a
xx
Me too, and wouldn't want to be anywhere else! sm
I can't believe how many MTs on this board are so miserable and getting SO ripped off! Direct Deposit is always on time for us at Webmedx, pay rate fair, good incentive plan. And I have plenty of work (most of the time, you have to admit that everyone runs out occasionally).
Why wouldn't you ask up sm
front in order to avoid wasting yours or their time what the pay scale was, or at least ballpark. The time allotted doesn't sound unreasonable to complete the test. If you bring experience and skill it's do-able. Someone who cannot complete in that time may not be the best match. Definitely ask up front next time about pay scale and if it's in line with your expectations. If not, you thank them anyway, but no thanks and move on.
I wouldn't be so sure about that,
Check the labels in all your clothes, check the boxes the toys came in, check everything. Very little we buy (even at godalmighty walmart) is made in the US. Just because you buy it here, don't be sure it's made here.
Exactly why I wouldn't do this with others.
Sounds like your mom and your sister want the benefits of having their own accounts (higher pay), but want someone to do the extra work for them. Not the type of people I would want to get into business with.
I wouldn't, because it seems that all
that is a joy in your life you would not be able to participate in. Our pets are just 4-legged children and it would take a lot for me to have to get rid of any of them. You do what you have to do, especially these days, but I would have to keep exploring options at this point.
I wouldn't think so...sm
Im having almost the exact same problem. Im short on work, have sent emails to owner, etc..no answer. Looking for another part-time, no luck so far.
I would think that would be beneficial to them..being you are already trained and will require little if any startup time.
WMX wouldn't be so bad if...
ChartMatrix wasn't as slow as molasses. Don't know anything about Enterprise though. Is it faster than CM? Any rad accounts for Enterprise?
you probably wouldn't want that job anyway.
Probably has a LOT of ESLs, so that is why they test that way, to see how you do. Of course, we are all cold testing and that is always daunting. I hope you hear from one of the other companies. 
I wouldn't say more than what has (sm)
been said. There are people from the company (not us peons) here daily and you are lucky to get what little info is given here. You can keep asking but I doubt very much anyone else is going to go into any more than what is here already.
I wouldn't do it.
Sounds like they are getting their work done for free.
Ten reports is an unusual number for testing purposes. Just 3-4 is more like it.
I know, but wouldn't you just like to know? (sm)
I have been lied to from a company before as to why we were getting a pay cut. I guess curiosity is getting the best of me. I am thinking the MTSOs are charging like 15 to 16 cpl, which would mean that most of them are keeping half.
It definitely wouldn't be for everyone
But I know there are several of the fundamentalist Christian groups that would do just fine, and I'm sure there are at least a few muslim MTs. If I didn't like to drive, smoke, schlep around in jeans, and have responsibilities here that required daily attention, it would probably be worth considering, at least for the short term.
No, I wouldn't. ESPECIALLY if it's as an
IC rather than employee. I wouldn't do it just on principle. That's too low of a line rate to pay an MT with 17 years of experience. These MTSOs are getting much too greedy.
I wouldn't......... sm
Although there are some on this forum that say escription is a good platform, I doubt that, between the learning curve and the decreased pay rate, you will benefit by staying. That's just my 2 cents worth. Individual mileage may vary.
hey yen, don't feel bad, she wouldn't like me either
I am divorced and remarried. My first 2 children are half black and I'm white so they are mixed and my 2 youngest are all white because their father is white. I'm married to him but my first husband was black. I also have worked at home and SPECIFICALLY chose MT so that I could stay home. Hey, it happens!
Now, go get your spitoon and set out there on the porch and wait for your boyfriend Larry the cableguy to get home from his REAL job!
I wouldn't know, I'm not a "greeter"
My job is to type acurate Medical Records.
It is true...just ask 98% or the Transcriptionist there. That's why they all have taken on second jobs to keep some money coming in. This new program they have has everyone losing money.
Wouldn't be able to get hired anywhere?
Frankly, if you can make it through training, you're a danged GREAT MT!! Toughest QA grading I've ever seen. You have to know your stuff.
Wouldn't surprise me any
If they have "QA to QA the QA'ers," you can bet that each step of the QA-ing will have the QA'ers who are QA-ing the QA-ers who QA the MT finding all the work "they" didn't QA to be crappy QA-ing. LOL
