I also saved EVERY email from them so I can back up the info below

If you had applied with them in the past, they're sending out emails with
s
Thanks for this info. I applied.
I just applied also and need info
I am so afraid of going to something worse than what I have.
Applied with them once. Little bit of info.
Fairly new co., I believe. Pay wasn't great, I think 8 cents. Told me more at first then said no, have to start out lower until they get established. No thanks, heard that song and dance before. Should've told me lower rate from start. These are medical exam reports and stats were insane. I turned it down. Seemed nice enough and maybe they figured out they need to pay more but that was my experience.
I don't know. I recently applied for a job with them and it was in the info they sent me. nm
Any info on DSG where I have applied as far as availability of work, etc. nm
:
I can't find any info. I applied a few days sm
ago and have heard nothing. Curiosity is getting the best of me.
Thank you so much -- you saved
me an hour of two of wasted effort. Much appreciated!
I don’t have to be saved because my job
is not my major form of income, actually have more coming from other sources than my 8 hours a day spent on transcription.
Thanks very much, you have saved
me from another big disappointment, although for a company to top MDI, it would have to be a tragedy.
Saved me from being ripped off!!

They probably saved all the work for you...
and we are all stuck with nothing. I haven't been able to get anywhere near 1000 lines for months now. Have been an MT for over 12 years so.....funny you have a bunch of work and I have next to nothing.
You could have saved some of us time by
stating that you only were interested in encouraging posts, rather than those representing the current situation. I was actually wasting more of my time by trying to post links for you of the serious no-work situation, but see that you're not interested in anything not encouraging posts. Have fun!! As many others have honestly shared the last months about MDI-MD, I hope your finances don't depend on this company right now, as they weren't able to handle many of us new hires. Not even 5 training jobs a day. Their regular workers experience same, too, but, lest I sound not encouraging, I'll just shut up now.
cpl earned, cpl saved
Earnings were better in the past. New software for speech recognition is competitive. Offshoring removes lucrative reports for transcription by low paid workers in other climes. Meanwhile in USA in our company, the residue is difficult to hear, but our company has begun to ban putting blanks in the report, to promote cost savings in the proofreading departments: fewer blanks, fewer proofreaders on payroll. Medquist is wave of competitive future.
No way!!! After all the money they saved (sm)
giving their employees the Print your own cookbook for Christmas. I would have appreciated a card far more.
I know they pay the most for ASR and think you are all probably right and we are going to get hit in the chops with this one. At least I work at home and can attend the meeting with a margarita in hand.
Hoping for the best, but after 10 years of MQ and the crap they put us through I am a little gun shy.
I saved the old one to my computer and SM
I think I'm going to start applying to other places. Just the fact that they would announce this at the end of the business day before Memorial Day weekend and leave us hanging like that until Tuesday is such a turnoff, but I shouldn't be surprised. This company has really gotten horrible in the past year.
I have saved a ton of money this way
I have Blue Cross, which isn't the best, but I have had 2 C-sections with it. Both times the hospital charged over $11,000 for the hospital services, not including baby's nursery, OB fees, etc. Blue Cross contracts with them and tells them how much their clients can be charged. Both times I have gotten bills automatically reduced to $2800. Of course, that went to my high maternity deductible, but that's over $9000 in savings, well worth the premiums.
Almost all of our lab fees, testing, procedures, etc. are reduced this way. I pay a copay for basic office visits and that's just flat.
FMLA only gives you the right to be out - the only pay you would get would be saved PTO or short-ter

I hope you SAVED those e-mails.
nm
you're behind on your info, PTO =10 now, and soon
up to 18 days. Most of us obviously DO have work consistently and are happy. Yes there are some problems, and yes the company is working on them. MQ still has the most to offer and MORE happy employees than any other company.
Nice that they responded, but would've saved..sm
I get that they are relatively new, but with nothing at all coming up on Google search (not even a phone listing), it's understandable why people questioned. I still think it's strange there is literally nothing available online, even using her name and variations, but the address seems to be an office building of sorts, so that seems plausible.
Good luck to those who applied. I hope it ends up being a diamond in the rough. :)
Their ads say .09 per line, 1.10 per report, which you could have saved yourself time by reading.
nm
You're funny. Where in heck do you get your info? (sm)
They are not rapidly going to AVR or whatever you called it. Doctors at many hospitals refuse to use it, and so it's about half AVR and half transcribing. Probably will stay that way for quite awhile. You know, many of those doctors are old dogs like me. A good MT will always have work to transcribe. If you only do American accents, you might have a harder time.
Gosh..thanks for your honesty. I have not found ONE positive about them. I'll pass. You saved me
a lot of trouble it sounds like.
Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
Any current info on Med-Scribe? They're hiring and all I can find on here is from 2004. Thx!

Seriously, what's the point of posting if you're gonna leave out the most vital info? nm

No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
HUH? I just applied with them.
Thank you to all who applied.
Great responses and experiences. Thanks.:)
Thank you! I have applied but sm
haven't heard anything yet. Just curious.
Is that why you applied?
just applied
 Good luck to you. The test was easy. I did 100%. 
Just applied also and took
the tests. Hopefully this a good company. Still waiting to hear from Keystrokes..... For being desperate to find transcriptionists for their radiology accounts, they sure take a long time getting back to you!
No, I actually just applied there myself. nm

Anyone applied to JLG? Ad says they need 100 MTs. (sm)
I have to assume they are growing big time to need this many MTs added to their work force.
I can't find any recent info on this company. Any help appreciated.
Applied
I agree, there's nothing to lose. I already applied. As well as being an MT I also do insurance claims typing and it really isn't that hard. You just have to be able to type verbatim including um's and ah's. I get paid by the page now so to me it seems the pay may be actually better than what I'm getting now.
