They promise more than they deliver. sm
They seem nice enough but not once you are there. Checks were on hold last year for a few weeks, but that was isolated (as far as I know). I left right after that as I went to another Illinois company (also a Lee but not LeePerfect) and have been happy.
Nothing bad to say but nothing good either. I did not have enough work. Emdat is OK once you are used to it, same as other programs.
yeah but you don't jump down her throat to deliver
that truth. I dare you to say half the things face-to-face you say here. We behave civilized in public for a reason. We socialize, practice common courtesy, all of those things for a reason.
I know it is really easy to be a caveman over the internet but try to be nice...
Yeah, I'll be getting out of there, too.
Way too hard to make any money at Transolutions.
Yeah I think you'll need to be more specific...

Yeah, and when the Indian cash cow dries up, they'll

Yeah, your posts just ooze happiness. I'll just skip over yours from now on..nm
Bubbye!
Yeah, no time for those who have all the time in the world
If you know what I mean.
Anyone waiting for UPS to deliver their pay check?!
My check from FutureNet was sent UPS overnight delivery on Thursday and it still hasn't arrived!!! Nothing like not getting paid at Christmas time!
Mailed on 9/30. Mail doesn't deliver everywhere at
the same time, silly! Takes a little longer to get some places than others.
Just another typical gripe for no reason.
I charge .12cpl, I pickup and deliver. Wisconsin. nm

Ditto to what needavacationmt said. They talk but dont deliver. Do you truly want your check docked
based on what Indian QA says is proper sentence structure, use of English language, punctuation etc..I have no issues with expecting high quality but I think I had a difference in opinion on these factors. There is a language barrier as your supervisors IM you from India and just dont get things like NO.. I am not working right now and do not plan on it until my scheduled shift. I know another person said the recruiter actually told her that their middle of the road Transcriptionist make about $4000 a month average. What kind of scam and lie is that. Just goes to show they will tell you anything to get you to work for them. You'd be sorry.
no, I am not Liz! , I promise : ) NM
no message...
i can't promise you won't get an IM if there's a stat, but
i can tell you this -- we NEED you to do your job so we won't bother you unless we have to :) :) I'm sorry your previous experience wasn't pleasant ... but I can assure you, we do our best to make sure that won't be the case now.
She said promise not to YELL!!!!
Thanks - you have been so helpful. I promise, only one more post about this! SM
Are you talking in terms of the minutes of dictation (i.e. five hours (300 minutes) of the doctor's dictation every other day) or the time you worked? Also, would you receive work at various times times during the day where you would have to keep checking around the clock to see if there was more work or not and essentially feel like you were working all the time. I had a job where I would never know when I would get the work and would wait around all day long and then get it when I had the least time to work and then get more work again later that same day. That did not work out, and I would like to avoid that situation again. I would really like to find something where I know when to expect the work and that I could get it done during the time when I was most available (of course there would be some exceptions...). Thank you again for all your help!
OK, promise not to yell? See Message
I feel your pain, because I'm in exact same position, but there is no fighting it. I have chance to go to company without VR, but that company will probably go under, because this is the way the companies save money. It's a mess. I believe we have to accept it or find other careers and I am also seriously considering that.
PS
You could try Softscript.
No company can promise any steady
holiday season. I find it very slow during holiday weekends as well, no matter which holiday it is. I tend to just enjoy the downtime, and know that it will pick up.
It is difficult even with 20 years of experience to keep job hopping, so I'm taking the good with the bad. I do IC work for 2 companies online; that's how bad it is where I need to work 2 just to keep a steady workflow. 
Run as fast as you can. They promise the moon but do not follow through. sm
Specifically, they promise high volume radiology but I ran out of work constantly. They kept stringing me along about some big new account starting in May but it never happened. I am thankful that I kept my other job on the sly.
Has anyone else seen ads for MT schools that promise 40,000 yearly? This doesn't appear to be tru
with my experience, at least starting out anyway.
Yes they start at 5cpl but promise a raise
once off QA. What a joke!
It's 7:00 am to 12:00 am - midnight. LOLOLOL. Please leave. I promise they do not want you.

So companies that promise "unlimited" long distance
That's false advertising on their part, I'd say. If they give you a plan that's unlimited what are their limits? I'm curious because I have unlimited long distance through AT&T and wonder if they have fine print somewhere too. I rarely use my long distance for work (I use Comcast for ISP and connect through client's VPN), but who knows in the future. So does anybody have figures on how many hours on the phone is considered abuse with unlimited long distance companies? And why can't they balance out heavy usage people with people like me who have it but don't use it much, except for the occasional long gab with family members?
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

What world is that? Wally World?
nm
Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Yeah, yeah, AND enjoy!
 
MT World
Nice platform, very simple does not have a lot of bells and whisles, but it is a nice typing platform and it interfaces with MS Word. On some you cannot get your line count, that was the only issue I had with it when I worked on it.
What in the world did they want to know?
nm
USA is not same as MT-World
 MT-World is now ATSI - American Transcription Solutions. Good company, but a lot of turnover in the office. Lots of work right now.
why in the world
I agree! I think the same thing has happened to me at MQ. I'm still waiting to hear back from them after training. :(
MT WORLD
Any info on MT-World in Clearwater? Have a pending offer in radiology.
MT-World
I've been working for them for about a month now so I don't know how much help I can be, but everyone there has been very helpful. Any time I have a question, there is always someone I can ask. Get paid every 2 weeks and so far have been on time.
How in the world would you know??
I thought people could post anonymously. BTW first time I have posted anything about TT in a long time. Im just watching these days. Pretty interesting I must say.
What in the world is going on at OSI?
Seems to be big changes going on.
Why in the world sm
did they buy an MT school? I have my thoughts about that. Mostly that they are trying to get rid of the older (higher paid) transcriptionists.
Whether it is a true town hall meeting, and we get to speak, is yet to be seen. In the past they told us to mute ourselves, and they just said what they said.
I think it's becoming a dog-eat-dog world out there
When I first started in this business and on this board, there was never a bad post. Everyone helped everyone with questions, etc.
Lately, with the economy and the world the way it is, plus the fact that MTs don't get recognition for their GOOD work and, of course, let's not forget the crappy pay, there are a lot of unhappy people out there.
I read an article in the newspaper today that stated in a capitalist nation, greed is good if it serves a purpose; i.e., jobs and prosperity; but if greed gets out of control; i.e., bonuses for the upper echelon and nothing for the true workers, then the role of capitalism is in the toilet. This is what is happening in our nation today and everyone is either worried about their job or trying to stay afloat with all the negativity in the job market and so, the nastiness prevails and turns into the dog-eat-dog world we all fought against a few years ago.
Things will turn around again, but it will take years of trial and error now. Whether it will be good or bad will depend on the attitude of the people and government.
I don't mean to turn this into a political post but I, myself, have been biting my tongue towards some posters and just trying to live my life the best I can. With DH only working 80 days this year and not able to collect unemployment, I am the total breadwinner, so it makes me a little sarcastic and/or mean, but not enough to post nasty messages....YET.
You have to let the negativity go in one ear and out the other and move on.
How in the WORLD do they keep.MTs? sm
Oh, i know how...they get paid well by their clients and they pay their MTs 6 cpl........
What in the world?
Ok, I am cracking up right now. You seriously have some problems. No, I am not the woman who lost her marriage. I am still married and wouldn't lose my marriage over a job. This is hilarious and thanks for the laugh. Like I said, go get some comfort food and calm the heck down.  You are totally losing your mind. Here is you ------> Here is me ----->
Why in the world would anyone
NOT give the best they can? That is owed to any employer by any worker. Second-best doesn't cut it in this job.
What in the world?
MTs have become a total joke. What happened to this profession? I am so embarrassed to be part of this industry. Some of you are visualizing managers as drinking brandy and smoking cigars? Are you imagining them yelling 'let them eat cake too?' I wish I could tell you how I visualize most work at home MTs, but it might be a little too harsh for such a nice place as this.
What in the world????
Why on earth would an MTSO who KNOWS they are treating their MTs well and with respect, have any desire to come and visist this or any other board??? Only one way that my poor humble mind can see and that is because they KNOW they are not treating them well much less with respect and so they MIGHT feel the need to assess how angry their MTs are so they can plan damage control. I'm sure there are good SMALL MTSOs out there who do treat their employees well but I think they are fewer by the day.
One would think this board is for MTs to share their various experiences and those who are happy should thank God that they have it so good and those who are hurting, well it says a lot about the people who would put them down and pour salt in their wounds. There but for the grade of God goes you.
Best Company in the MT World
Stat-Med in Missouri - Pay is excellent, always, always on time. Owner is the best person to work for and I absolutely love it.
Greenlight - Pay is absolutely great. Owner is SUPER and again love working for them.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING A MT....
MT-World, any info
Any info on MT-World, good or bad??? Thanks!
Post about mt world
There was a post last evening about MT World being a scam, a couple people asked for an explanation and now the post is gone - why was it deleted? If this place is not legitimate we should know because American Transcription Solutions is advertising and they are part of MT World.
I do anything and everything. Why in the world are they hiring???

I did not like MT World either and I hated being on IM all day. nm

Its really World War III here, War of the outsourced
