Yes, you have to go there to pick up their loaded CPU. Pay wasn't that good, either. nm

I wasn't trying to pick on her. I thought that the OP had a resume and
that she put in the wrong email. Nothing else, nothing more. I was trying to help not to criticize.
Precysers, if you have loaded a good spell-check,
Just click on my hidden e-mail address if you want to correspond privately.
Your message is too mixed. Either you want to know the good, or you want to know the negative. Pick
one topic and maybe you'll get more informative responses. Otherwise, you're just setting the stage for more battle by your wording, and everyone is just tired of fighting right now.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Your timing is good. They just asked me if I wanted to pick up an ER account for weekends which inc
Thursdays and Fridays. It is an internet-based account and a good one but I have enough work on my primary.
if you had to pick one; medscribe or CyMed .. who and why would you pick em? considering both

DocQScribe wasn't a good platform for me, so I left. nm

I'm agreeing here, too. Wasn't a good fit/experience for ME, so I left after 6 wks. nm

Can you have DQS and WebCorrect loaded at the

You have to use their computer. Not sure if it's loaded with DQS. nm

Yes, it is loaded with their version of DQS. nm

That is a loaded question after today
The people are great. Very professional. The QA is wonderful. The platform is terrific and designed for high productivity although there are frequent periods of downtime, getting less often these days.
Yes you can do an average of 250 lph, just expect to do it FOR 8 HOURS EVERY SCHEDULED DAY, except when you don't have work, and then you are asked to work outside your schedule (basically Wednesday through Friday). If you want to meet your minimum and it takes you less than 8 hours, don't expect a rest until the 8 hours are up, unless there is no work.
The benefits are the best I've seen at any MT company, PTO (sick, vacation, personal) plus paid holidays in addition to any production you do on the holiday. Low cost health premiums with terrific plan coverage.
If you are able to work with them, they will certainly go out of their way to work with you. A very decent employer but like any other employer, it is feast on some days and famine on others.
The company computer comes loaded with whatever
you need to do the job. I guess they figure it is easier to load the computer and then send it to the MT rather than to connect via PC Anywhere or similar program to download the programs. You aren't paying to work for them, you are renting the equipment.
None of our accounts have the work loaded into q's for anyone. sm
I don't mind hearing that someone is not a good fit with Keystrokes or does not like the account they have been given (they can't all be great). The addresses mean that you were on an ortho account. The ONLY reason someone does not like Keystrokes ortho is that the person in charge of ortho is very committed to both high quality and TAT. She keeps a QA score card on every MT under her, keeps a log of missed deadlines and lets people go if they cannot stay up to snuff. There is nothing wrong with that; I wish I could be more like her.
I think there are good companies and bad companies out there and have said many, many times that every company is not a good fit for every MT. If that were the case, there would be no job openings and no one looking for a job. However, the bad companies are the ones that do not pay, rip off the MTs in terms of false line counts, lose accounts all the time and allow cherry-picking. None of that applies to Keystrokes.
It sounds like you were not happy and I feel bad for you as KS is a great place to work!
JLG work loaded in chunks of whatever number sm
to train/QA they send three reports at a time. hope this helps. everyone is very friendly, considerate, and helpful...
Mine does. Just loaded it on my laptop this week.

I know Webmedx has a time clock - with MQ I put laundry in, got coffee, loaded DW (sm)
went to the bathroom, etc. without clocking out and still kept my lines per hour up just fine. With Webmedx do you clock out for all these little things or as long as you get lines per payperiod or per hour it works out?
Take your pick..lol.
I was wondering, was Proscript the place that did not pay for macros? There was 1 company I worked for that had loads of macros but you did not get paid for them.
And they pick up dog-poo, too.
Can you pick up?
I am still in the hiring process but very hopeful. I live within 3 miles of the JLG office, does anyone know if they allow employees to pick up their checks from the office? This would not be a deal breaker for me because I would just be grateful to work for them, but it is a concern nonetheless especially because I bank out of state.
You cannot pick and choose
I don't know how you think you can pick and choose. You get the jobs assigned to you by the queue managers. You cannot even see what jobs are available.
SS has been a terrific company for me. I too stick to schedule but at times have to flex because of kids, etc. and they do not have a problem with that from time to time.
you can pick from 3 different shifts
10-6, 11-7 or 12-8 and I believe you have to work Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs. You type and get paid hourly, but you have to do a minimum of 1000 lines a day. That's about it in a nutshell.
They paid to have UPS come pick up
the equipment, but they ignored numerous emails from me and I then got a threatening letter about suing me for not returning their equipment. There was a delay in the final pay. No exit interview. I was civilized, however, A was not.
This is why MTs "cherry-pick"! nm

the one I was on, you had to pick from the unassigned ones

What do you mean by pick from the unassigned ones? nm

KS does not pick the platforms...
that the facilities they contract with use. Those platforms and their requirements, like ULLD, are almost always in place when KS contracts with them. I hear MTs get upset about C-phones and why any MTSO would use them but the MTSO is going with what the facility wants/has been using. These platforms are network-wide for some very large health networks sometimes, and they can be reluctant to pull the plug on one that has served them well for sometimes a very long time...not to mention the costs involved.
WILL BE ABLE TO CHERRY-PICK - sm
to your heart's content, if that's your choice and you are fortunate enough to get the kind of Lead job where you have control of work flow & distribution, as they do in my company. As bad as the Q may have been in some important areas, I always got my lines. Work was allowed to self-distribute naturally ...THE NEXT FREE MT GOT THE NEXT AVAILABLE JOB. We had 1 supervisor, not 2 dozen people we had to answer to, as today's top-heavys.
But as long as the same person who assigns/distributes the work (Leads) also types on the accounts & has FIRST CHOICE of jobs -- well, where does leave the rest of us?? With 101% $---t, that's what! That and being salaried, too! I'd be a Lead for HALF of the little they're paying us now and I bet I'd get more done if the playing field between Leads and peon MTs were evened out a little.
so pick up your own accounts, get 5 sm
people and see how well you do. The headache of listening to whining, complaining MTs is not worth it! Granted there are MTSOs making tons of money and yes some are scr****g their employees/ICs. But, if you think running a business and putting up with all of it is a piece of cake, you are sadly mistaken!
If you pick one up and notice it's VR, is it
Hopefully the speed will pick-up
a part-time job to cover that lull. Crying here and not to be unkind is really not going to help your situation. We can give you a big ole awwwww, but that's not going to help. Get a part-time job.
You all need to pick up some Feen-A-Mint
nm
you definitely wanna pick TransHealth
constant workflow. Good accounts. Good pay. GOOD PEOPLE.
....pick up the slack and keep TAT in check! nm
x
Pick up the phone and call
x
Yes it will be a threat. It will just pick up these sounds of
chewing and make words out of them. Yep.
If you could pick between OSi and TransTech, which would you choose? nm
x
Decision made on who to pick!
After reading all the feedback, I decided to go with Keystrokes. MQ just seems to iffy with work compared to Keystrokes, who certainly has some good feedback from fellow MTs. 
If your question is can you cherry pick
Your queue is preset for your work types and they come in according to TAT. You can't pick and choose what you want to type. That is established beforehand.
So do they cherry pick at Transtech?
nm
Transform or Accustat, which would you pick to go for
I am undecided.
Inviting new members, maybe it will pick up
Everybody is scrambling for lines because its slim pickings now, afraid to spend time in the group for fear of losing a job to type. JMO.
When will work pick back up? nm
x
Which would you pick. Just wanting advice, and different
points of view:
FutureNet, E-Transplus, or MDI.
Perhaps a combination of 2 of the above? Any advice welcome. Having to decide. Thanks in advance. 
DON'T pick Superior Global...
Superior Global has bad uneducated QAs, bad team leaders, horrible! They had one great team leader (started with a J), but she resigned and it has gone downhill ever since. They offer incentives once in awhile and then forget they offered them. No bonuses for anything. Just poorly ran. On the plus side if you aren't meeting production, they don't really care, very disorganized and they can't remember any schedules so it can be pretty flexible. They also don't have direct deposit, so you have to wait for your paper check.
I pick and choose what I take from this board
I first started coming here about 6 years ago when I started going to school for MT. The posts almost made me give up before I had even finished. I was sure I would never find a job and that I made a horrid mistake, but because I had already paid for the classes I decided to continue, and found a job 2 months before I ever graduated. I have been working for 5 years now, and have never been without job, and I make a very good line rate with an awesome company. I like coming to this board and looking around since I don't really have a relationship with co-workers in this business, it is nice to see what others are thinking, but for the most part I take everything with a grain of salt.
But what happened to you about the recruiter is pretty horrid. I can't believe somebody would do such a hateful thing, but in the end they may have done you a favor, I don't think I would have wanted to work for a company that was so rude and unprofessional.
