bet if she named the co she would no longer be a recruiter for them.

You are a recruiter? Hopefully not for much longer.

What happened to Becky Ross, the recruiter. Her name is no longer on the ads?? nm

It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

Wow, they have a town named after me! LOL. nm

I think there are more than one company named that. nm

company named IDS...
Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS? Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc. Thanks very much for any info.
There is a poster named Jai
that works for them, and she posted something not too long ago about them that she likes it. I think she is the one though that has a lot of questions on the word board, so if she is doing word for word, they must have a lot of ESLs or something.
company named LTS
Can anyone tell me anything about a company named LTS? Thanks
Aptly named.
Wrong! Minimizing, mind reading, name calling. Assuming.
Anyone know of a company named
Any information, good or bad? Thanks very much.
You mean the lady named Pepper at OSI?
who knew!
Any body know anything about a company named PTS,
curious. I tried Archives but could not come up with anything. TIA.
I'm looking for information about the company named DSG. nm

I do not believe any names were named or any co was mentioned. I only know what I was thinking and
only the incident. I would not name a co. That's not me.
Wrong about making assumptions though. We all do it. There is a big difference in making an assumption and actually naming a co which I did not do.
What did you want to know? Just named AAMT employer of year! sm
With the caveat that no company can be everything to all MTs, I personally have been with Webmedx (and Rodeer, who was bought by Wbx a few years ago) since 1998 and have been pleased. Good platform, decent accounts, average pay with chance of making bonuses, room for advancement (I know of MTs who have moved into QA), decent QA feedback, and I love my manager.
Benefits are good in my opinion. Pay is on time (all direct deposit), workflow decently steady. Your mileage may vary, of course. :)
Saw ad for Transcend and they actually named the new account they were hiring for (sm)
Isn't that a little strange? I know we don't post account specifics and I have never seen a company do so before. They mentioned the hospital name, town and state.
company named Voice Systems
What does anyone know about a company in Georgia named Voice Systems? Are they a good company to work for? Do they pay well? Thanks very much.
About as funny as a Clinic in California named Ole'
Didn't they get wiped out by the Mexicans?
*good morning* !! Accts are not named here! NM

Is there actually a company named Rural Transcription?
I thought she was trying to say that she lives in a rural area and has to do transcription at home because there are no local in-house jobs. I didn't think she was badmouthing a particular company by name...
Am I missing something?
I saw the MQ Hawaii vacation winner was someone named Lori G. (sm)
congratulations to her. I, of course, am jealous though.
My sister's cat is named Pubert - or Pube for short...
I really DO have odd sisters, don't I? BTW - my really cheap Big Sister did manage to buy me a decent gift - the Beatles 1 CD. Unfortunately, she got me the same thing last year...ARGH
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

I have no info, but the energy center is named after my grandfather nm
Frank R. Applegate Energy Center
see inside - it's just a start, but stay away from the Indian named owner - I think we know
where that work is going!!!

In retrospect, I shouldn't have named my company because truly I do love working for them and sho
assume this was just a payroll error. So, that's what I'm thinking until I know better. If I did lose my insurance without any notice, then I would not be a very happy camper and would do what I needed to do. But, in the meantime, they have been great to work for...
We also say 'Ford trucks' named after Henry Ford. Makes sense to me.

It's been longer than that for me.
I tend to get stuck with a lot of terrible dictations most of the time, which I don't understand either, but maybe that has something to do with why I can't get a decent line count. Every time I get on the system to work, there's always some horrible dictation skipped from earlier in the day just waiting for me. Just got done with a dictation that was 9 minutes long, but took me over 30 minutes to type due to being inaudible in spots and just basically a horrible dictation overall. I didn't even get 100 lines out of it either!!
no longer there but.
Had trouble getting paid on time.
Not for much longer.
I knew going in they were not paying for headers and footers, but did not realize they were going to take the percentage off the total line count. The headers/footers only account for about 5 to 10 lines per report, so they have quite a little scam going.
Whatever, they are no longer there anyway. nm
:+
Not much longer to be an MT
Medical transcription is going the way of the dinosaurs. Voice recognition is coming in fast now. We will be editing for awhile until they perfect it and feed the corrected copies back into the VR engine to train it to understand all the docs. I would give this field 5 more years maybe. We all have to move on and find something else unfortunately:(
Longer than others for me
I think it took them a week and then I didn't even get a pass/fail but a link to go on to the next test, which seemed to be some kind of personality profile. By that time, I had hired on with another company that was my first choice.
No longer a CMT
I WAS a CMT for over 20 years, it never got me any more money, it cost me to re-certify, cost me to go to seminars for CEC's, I had one company I worked for tell me I could only go to the National Convention for 2 days and I would only be paid if I worked their booth for those two days, so what was the use of going if I was going to be stuck in a recruitment booth insead of learning at any of the seminars? I still kept plugging away spending my time and money to keep that CMT behind my name. Then my mom passed away, in all the work of getting her estate settled, condo sold, etc. I forgot to send in my fee and CEC's verification slips. When I realized it had slipped my mind I called and wrote them a letter explaining the circumstances and that I had all the CEC's earned. Even offered to send a copy of the death cert. Their reply....too bad...so sad pay again to take the certification Test. NOT
The longer MQ MT is on DQS, the less lines
we get. There is no "getting used" to the program that is taking our line counts. Very familiar with DQS, have all normals/short cuts in place, very fast typist, and DQS "eats up lines". MedRite did not do that to us. Why do you think MQ changed to DQS ? -- so that the MT's would get more lines per hour ? NOT !
Katie is no longer there either

If she's no longer there how will she see it? Ditto for
nm
This is exactly why I know longer send anything. nm
nm
4-6 weeks...sometimes longer
nm
was it last fall?, or maybe longer, whenever...
nm
I am. I even sent them an e-mail that I no longer
worked for them and they still send me the stuff from Corporate. I don't get any more from the PS though.
Slave No Longer
Ditto to your post. This new compensation plan is insane. I am now having to work 12 hours a day instead of 8, while all the while making less $. I probably make less than the greeters at Wal-Mart. They expect us to be on standby during our scheduled shift, yet there is no work, and we are not compensated for this time with no work. Now I have work at midnight and on weekends in order to get my quota, and end up working what should be paid as overtime. I am going to call the labor board in my state because this cannot be legal. I suggest we all do the same.
Yes, they seem to have put in place a director of OPs that came from MQ, only to now be doing her damage at SPi. I understand she is also busy putting into place managers from MQ, so it is obvious what her agenda is...to mimic MQ, so we know where the direction of SPi is going, and it seems to hold true with this new comp plan.
In a matter of 18 months, SPi has successfully turned what was once a well-respected, successful company with a talented team of MTs and mangers that was once Cymed and turned it into a cold, disorganized machine. They have had to have have lost millions in revenue with all the clients and MTS who have quit them due to poor service and disorganization, including ongoing unresolved IT issues. It's almost as if they want to fail!
Folks, it's tiime we all stand up for what is right and make someone pay attention. What is a transcription company without transcriptionists? We are not slaves and we do have options. If SPi wants to be another MQ, then let's let them have it and see where they end up in the court system.
I have been in this profession long enough to know that you can be successful at whatever you do by working hard, treating people with respect, and never compromising your integrity, a virtue that is foreign to SPi. I for one am sick for us all at the latest turn of events and am going to spend this time when there are no jobs available making the necessary calls and then submit my resignation.
Let's all stand together and see how long this compensation plan works for them when there is no one to do the little work they have. They may have people offshore who will do it for even less than the slave wages they are paying us, so I say let them have it and suffer the consequences when what business they have left walks out the door.
Since you no longer work there
But if you need to keep repeatedly posting about your bad experience there, go ahead, its a free country. I was speaking of my current work volumes there, to another current employee. My post was not addressed former employees, and I made no mention of the validity of your past experience, so I don't understand why you felt the need to respond to my post. As you said, not everyone has the same experience, and I understand that...do you?
KC... It sounds like you are no longer there.
Could you tell me why? Was the pay on time and comparable?
WMX - no longer get hx on jobs - sm
Is this so we no longer can see who kicked back jobs and potentially report them if it is a repeat thing? Not trying to start a fuss, just curious.
I have done transcription probably longer than
you have been on this earth, almost 40 years now. I think I know probably as much about transcribing as most here, worked for all different specialities, please don’t make me lose it tonight with your holier than thou message. Like you are the only little girlie here that can transcribe.
no you haven't done it longer than I have sm
been on the earth! I h ave done this for 32 years myself and alot older than 40. You don't have a clue about me. But you are giving yourself away very rapidly. Don't have a holier than thou message. Why did it hit such a nerve.
Don't make me los it tonight........hmmmmmm are you threatening me??? What you gonna do take my work away?????????
Good grief! Dont believe you have been doing it 40 years either or you wouldn't have the attitude about loving VR!

I have been doing this for over 35 years, longer than you
and my employer went to VR, a place where I had worked for 12 years at that time so it was either leave and find another job at age 50+ or fit in and thank goodness I decided to stay on. I make over $500 per week and I work part time, yes on VR. I read here people think others liking because of being newbies, slow at transcribing, MTSOs and the like but this is not me at all. Outsourced from my inhouse job, I was lucky to find the people who have the same hospital account and here I am, 19 years and counting for the same account. I am glad I learned VR when I did. So many are totally against when it seems most companies are now headed that way.
Are you 100% sure they no longer offshore anything?
I would have a hard time believing that, but I could be wrong, and it definitely would be a step in the right direction for at least ONE big huge company, hopefully others will follow suit.
it does seem that they are no longer regional
I really do hope that they are not selling themselves as a LOCAL company anymore. Sorry, but they can't have it both ways. The last time I heard, it took approximately 23 hours (counting changing planes, etc.) to get from NYC to Delhi.
