anything or any place that asks for money--sm

even to do a *background check* is not legit. Besides that, 55 dollars seems ridiculously high for that type of check, when one can do a check themselves through various sites for 14.00. Rip off. sorry you got scammed.

It is the only place I have been for 5 years that I feel I am not being ripped off and making money
I work hard but I did for the other companies too and bit by bit more things were stripped away and I would end up making half again. Keystrokes has given me confidence again, and I am making money. That is the name of the game, that is me though. I love it here.
Someone asks about them every so often and there are
posts in the archives about them. There has been a problem in the past with them paying on-time. I was offered a position with them but they didn't pay squat. I received a postcard from them last week about openings.
Someone asks about this company about every other day, little to
no info.
Look in the archives. Seems someone asks
this question about once a month.
Our company asks if at all possible
we just work a couple of hours, which for me is not a big deal except for Christmas, when I go out of town.
If the EMR asks questions, and all they have to
and since VR is already in the picture, you'd think they'd just come up with an EMR that they just say 'yes' or 'no' into. Unless they have that already.
Of course, if that comes about, then they'll want US to edit it, for .000005 cpl.
Read the archives. Someone asks about them
almost daily.
I have a standard response to that when someone asks me why they have to do that. sm
I work for another MTSO and have worked for 2 others in the past; all have required paperwork faxed out. It is quicker and more reliable than snail mail.
My response is --- if you are complaining this early in your employment, you will probably find something to complain about daily. There are alternatives to faxing, and the main 2 are: You can mail the paperwork back to me; however, I will only hold the job for 24 hours OR you can drive here and hand it to me, which is definitely more expensive than faxing AND you have to deal with traffic in LA.
A fax machine costs $25 now. An all-in-one printer is not much more and you can print pictures on one too!
My company asks for volunteers.
My company only has IC status so there is no requirement to work holidays. They send an e-mail the week before and ask for volunteers. I've only volunteered for one in the long time that I've been there and they've never tried to pressure me into working.
who asks for other employee rate?, nobody.

Someone asks about this company weekly. Lots of
info available.

A good recruiter asks all the specifics and can hope they are given
all the information. You are right too about good recruiters being MTs because they know what to really do and how an MT thinks.
of coure a company asks about previous employment
there is a reason why they asked about your previous employment, and it has nothing do to with bait and switch.
and before anyone asks, I am not a suck up and I am not mgmt. I am an MT who needs insurance becaus
my husband losing his job last year and his new company having an outrageously high plan.
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,

It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

When I click on self service it brings up "HEAT" and asks me for a logn and password
my Q-net login doesn't work here. Is this something you had to get preapproved or sign up for separately somehow?
Excuse me, but yes she did. The OP's very last line posted by anony asks "do they pay spaces?&
Someone probably needs more coffee this morning but it isn't me. All I did was make a simple comment and this is what I get. It's no wonder a lot of us don't post more often as we get flamed for everything we say.
Not me. I hope there is a special place reserved for them in a very hot place.

yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM

So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

No - one place is the same as the next.

Don't use yours all in one place!!!!!

Me neither. Bad place IMO

I think so, from the second place.

Bad Place!!
If you like to get paid for your work, then I would suggest not working for her!! She still owes me quite a bit of money, the pay is ALWAYS late and not always correct. She is also extremely moody and will take everything out on you if she's having a bad day. She says that her VR is really good, but I couldn't make much with it, and usually ended up typing the reports over for 6 cents/line.
Don't know why they ask in the first place if they
aren't going to take into the consideration what people have to say. There have been a few others that did the same thing and came back here to post how sorry they were they didn't listen to the negative posts.
This place is not for you then.
to have you and your strive for excellence attitude. Try another company right now so that you don't lose your touch. Best wishes...
If MQ MTs are looking to that place, .

Run from this place!

There is a place for everyone, though you are still
in the honeymoon phase. If you're happy I'm happy for you.
Is it possible to try a third place?
Third might be a charm. No matter what you choose, trust your heart. Good luck!
Why would someone place an ad SM
and use an address like that? You have to wonder. Same goes for people who use completely unprofessional emails to communicate with companies about jobs, mommy2joey, lovinmama, all that stuff. It's ridiculous.
My place
I just had an email tonight asking about where I worked because of another posting here and like I told them, was chatting on here with a lady, told her where I worked and about a month later she applied there, got hired, received the foot pedal and then nothing. She asked me to talk to this person (we both knew her) and when I did, my company got in a twit, saying they could do their own hiring??? and all I did was to ask them about getting back in touch with MS X as she was waiting to go to work. That was probably about a year ago and I never did that again. I feel almost 100% your low count is exclusively because of Chartscript. I have always since the 80s done straight at least 2000 or better a day whatever system I was on UNTIL in 2000 and something started and dropped like a leaded balloon. I gave up a job that was not hard work at all, but was not going to work for less lines than I knew I could do. Immediately went back up in next job.
Re: Your place
I would not want you to get into trouble w/ telling me anything about where you work. However, you have given me encouragement that looking for a position at another place that does not use Chartscript is a good idea. I have been questioning whether learning a new platform would be worth it or would I still be in the same situation. However, now I'm excited to think my line count could double or more!! Thanks for the info and encouragement!
I think this is the right place, but I don't know if I can help you.
Maybe try testing on their sites. I only ever got an interview after testing for the companies, not just forwarding my resume.
Good luck and sorry not much help.
Still there but looking. This is not a place
to hang out if you want to be happy and productive. It is pretty political and either you are in tight with your boss or you get the worst of the worst. The favorites get the best dictators, work, accounts, and the rest of us are the swabbing crew. I cannot live on what I make here a day. And the Beyondtxt program really sucks.
where is this place at and who is the sm
supervisor. We use to have a Med Trans wehre I live and they moved. If it is the same company, forget it.
I think we were at the same place.
I think we may have been hired even for the same account, which vanished...at first fed 'hang in there', then excuses, and finally they just quit mentioning it entirely. The alternate I got (which of course wasn't what I really was looking for days-wise or hour-wise) is similarly dwindling so that I'm chasing reports and it's a rare day that I can actually make my line count, even flexing to the wee hours. Fortunately, I'm getting better at reading between the lines, so I'm not going down with the ship like I have in the past.
From what I see, VR will never take the place
of MTs. I work on Escription and really love it but really according to the report, some might not have very many, others could have more. However, having said that I have stated before and will state again, do not like to type straight anymore and, and- we have so many ESLs now that our platform is really good about getting theirs so my head does not ache so much in trying to figure out most. If no errors on VR, then where would we be? I am not complaining at all.
I could tell you more about that place
I know a woman who walked out when she got emails, 2 of the managers emailing back and forth and accidentally sent to this woman, and talking bad about her. Can we say oops!
Yeah, same place.
I'm sure it's legitimate but I just didn't like the tone of the documents they sent me - a little heavy handed, a little too much emphasis on being "flexible." And of course the business about not paying the transcriptionist until they get paid. Search the archives on wahm.com. I think some of those gals had worked there.
Would you shell out $25 to place that ad?
Not me! I'm halfway tempted to apply just to see if this Gilbert gil is serious!
It's a great place...sm
It really depends on what you are looking for in a company. This is a very different company to work for. For example, you don't work in pools, you are not constantly being bumped around, and there always has been plenty of work, even around holidays where everyone else is fighting for work because there is none. I was so shocked that after Christmas there wasn't a major slow-down. It's mostly clinic accounts, so you if your work is caught up, you don't have to work holidays. There is no deciding which holiday you want off or which you have to work because if you just do your work, you get off. Of course, if you want to work the holiday, there is always something to work on if you speak up.
Anyway, I have worked for just about all of the nationals. I have been with Wordzxpressed for over a year now and plan on staying.
The best place I have worked

Then Transcend is the place for you
They have plans to switch all their accounts over the VR. There will be some typing, but no guarantees as to what kind of dictators or how much you will be getting.
A new company would not be the place to be then. nm
