What specifically...
should I be looking for? Hope this is not some convoluted complex thing that has to be examined with a fine-tooth comb, just want straight out what the pay is and what for, # of characters, spaces, etc. Did you have a problem with what you were paid for? Any help you could give is really appreciated. I'm becoming so discouraged by vague and obscure company communications! It doesn't really seem to benefit a company to not be up front to begin with since they will just end up losing that person, does it? Thank you for your help!!

What are your needs? Ask more specifically for
If you need 9 cpl, employee status, insurance, and work nights...ask which companies allow that.
Your idea of a good company may not be someone else's.

Look at how many are related....
There are several mother/daughters working there, several sisters, etc. You get my point. You know they're getting awesome charts! They send those 5, 12, 22-second charts to the others. Absolutely not fair..... Grrrrr....
Related to whom?
They are related to TTD
Superior uses all different companies to do their work.
If I were you, I would specifically post
for Busy MT'ing since she right now works for at least 2 nationals. She seems to know every single thing known to man. Try posting specifically to her on the MQ Board.
It's not about Amphion specifically,
my concern is the devaluation of the profession in general and my future in it. I'm looking at an opportunity to make a career change, and would like a smooth transition. I have had no problems with Amphion, and think they're better than many of the alternatives. Again, any info on the exit process would be appreciated. Thanks.
There are many MT companies in FL, some specifically for the
no state tax thing. I know I have to pay taxes and I'm not trying to get out of them, I just don't agree my company HAS to pay them. Sure would be nice if they did though.
What specifically are you wondering about? NM

why specifically are you leaving?

We are talking specifically about MDI right?
They don't offshore right?
I don't think she meant it to you specifically
I think she was using sarcasm to make a point...
That's the problem with forums, you can't always hear what the person is saying!
:-D
How can anyone specifically tell where the work
comes from?
You might want to ask your STM specifically about low work sm
situations - mine definitely said you can opt to use it or NOT if you are out of work.
MTs should not be penalized for low work situations. You should ask again.
She specifically said we had to request
If we miss work for any reason we are supposed to put in for PTO; then if we make it up by the end of the week we can cancel the PTO request. She specifically mentioned that the only time we have the option of not using PTO and going unpaid is when we have used all our PTO up. She mentioned all this in a blanket email to the whole team right before we started regularly running out of work due to overhiring. How plain does it need to be?
Why in Texas specifically? I would think - SM
labor laws would pretty much encompass the entire US, e.g., minimum wage laws apply in all 50 states, laws regarding overtime pay, etc. The rampant abuse MTSOs have been allowed to get away with affects MTs EVERYWHERE, from sea to shining sea ... MTs in OK, NJ, FL, OR, NC, I could go on and on... all of them have bills to pay, children to feed, and these MTSOs in sheeps clothing likewise lurk in all corners of the country. 
Boy, I wonder if he is related to her from etranz
sounds like there is more than 1 crook in this in this business.
Not related, but they sure like they are beginning to

I saw something that made me think they were somehow related to MQ.
It was a list of companies, and Medquist was listed, and then another listing with Milner/MedQuist. I'm not sure what it means, but it sure scared me away.
Work Related
On the job injuries, drug screens, employment physicals, workers comp, etc.
it is probably more account-related
but like with any company, it is going to vary according to patient load and whether the doctors dictate consistently or wait until the charts are going delinquent. This is not like predicting how many hamburgers you can sell in a day. If you believe in this company and how it operates, be brave, get your feet wet! it's not going to be perfect anywhere. You can always ask for back up accounts.
MDI or LANDMARK RELATED?
Does anyone have any idea if MDI and Landmark are affiliated in any way with each other? It sounds like they both use the same platform (Bayscribe) and have very similar hiring and working practices, so I'm wondering if they are owned by the same people? Also, is anyone currently working for both of these companies at the same time and if so, how is that woring for you?
are they related to Spheris?
nm
You expressed how I feel, specifically SM
pertaining to longevity and having to give that up. Others in my position are just as unhappy and concerned about the future.
The most distressing thing to me is the lying. I mean, all companies fudge the truth a bit, but the blantant lying that goes on at Spheris is really shocking.
I wake up every day with a knot in my stomach. Would anyone out there care to join me working for Spheris?
The client has to specifically request no
offshoring to not have it sent out. If nothing is said, the Q is able to do what they want with it.
I specifically asked if they required
new QA staff to type on the account first before being allowed to QA. I was told by both companies that this was not required. Then (with both companies) AFTER training, they told me that they DO require new QA to type on the account first. Liars.
post specifically says Domestic MTs

health benefits specifically
Looking for a company (as an employee, F/T) that offers affordable family plan health benefits for less than the $1022 per month I am paying now!
I absolutely love the company I work for, but their benefits are outrageous (small business) and me understanding their plight is not putting food on my table. I have a special needs daughter, so I need actual insurance, NOT a discount plan.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Maybe, but she specifically says no weekends or holidays
Didn't want her to waste her time when I know one day per weekend is a requirement where we work. Figured she was better off with a company that would accommodate her needs.
Oops. I mean to reference the low pay to TTD specifically... NM
Agree. But still hope one would ask specifically

Oh, God forbid we say anything Christianity-related!
Like it or not, this country was founded by and established by Christians. If anyone's offended by that - well, too bad.
By the way, I'm an agnostic and if I'm not offended by the words Christmas and In God We Trust, why would anyone else be? Religion is a personal thing and being offended by a major religion and its doctrine is secular and hypocritical.
I can admit who is responsible for starting this great country of ours and if anyone has a problem with that maybe they should go somewhere and make their own country elsewhere. This one is already here and the facts of how it came about can't be changed.
My maiden name is Stillwell - we may be related.
It seems so strange to see my name on the internet and it is not me.
What state are you in?
Are Medquist & Medware related? The same? (n/m)
?
Definitely not related. MW is owned by 1 family. nm

Are you related to Kathie Lee Gifford?
...
Could this be related on On-Point? Where are they located?
..
I click on the related messages and there
are about a dozen. If you will click on one of those links there are usually several other posts where others have responded to the same questions you are asking. Someone has started a private Transtech board within the last few weeks, but there is tons of stuff about Transtech on MTStars.
It's not job related but a generous gift
They believe we each have a responsibility to lessen our carbon footprint on the earth. They give the reimbursement as a reward and a thank you. Another reason I love working for them...it's not all about money and capitalism.
I don't need insurance; questions were not related to that nm
xx
Not sure if related but I worked on Neo PLATFORM,

There are messages from Nov in related posts SM
if what you mean by looking for more is you want someone to tell you it's great, then here - IT'S SO GREAT, I MAKE MAD MONEY THERE, they let me work whenever I want and there is always tons of work and OT offered on all these easy accounts with normals. I think I'll retire with this company.
Does that work for you?

And one not related was the owner's girlfriend
One of the main players who was training etc was the owner's girlfriend. Also I believe the main players all came as a group from Softscript, which is another horrid company. This goes back about 6 or 7 years.
Concern is HIPPA related
I guess they had some HIPPA violations when somebody wasn't cleaning out there clipboard. When I preview reports in MEDITECH, they look just fine. I don't know what to do ....
I didn't take all 21; I took 3 related to the job they were hiring for. n/m
