Which company has the best management/team leaders
Can you give your experience of which companies have the best people in place for their team leader/supervisors, and what you liked about that person/company? In other words, what set them apart from other places you've worked. Thanks!
Too bad they got rid of Indian team leads. My US team lead is the worst.
They really are the best management team (sm)
Believe me, I previously came from a doozy of a place. If you had a problem, it was YOUR problem, and if they did help you, it usually took days.
Keystrokes lead MTs and management team are great. I am sure I
will be flamed but I really like my lead and have never had anything but positive experiences with anyone in Keystrokes.
The nay-sayers will start their bashing now I am sure.
Anyone work for a company in Tennessee?
Which one and how do you like it? Are they hiring, if you know?
Thanks!
SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm

Worst Company
I too feel your pain about losing your account to India, but unfortunately it will be inevitable that everyone will lose their account to India at some time or another with this company. It seems with them, they use the US MTs to gear those accounts up for the client, make their work look really good, while in the background training the India MTs to take it over one day, and they usually do. Spheris is the worst company out there. If every US MT would just not work for them anymore, it would be a perfect world...wouldn't it!! Unfortunately, that will never happen, hence Spheris living on and screwing yet just another MT over and over again in the process. My sympathies to all MTs that have to stoop to try make a living at Spheris, I will only hope for you all that you find a better company that appreciates you and your hard work one day!!
Worst company ever!!!
I worked for Cymed for almost 2 years, but they were bought out by SPi in the summer of 2006, and things really went downhill after that. I left a year ago, and it was the best decision I have ever made! I hear that things are even worse there now than they were when I was there. They treat their MTs horribly and don't even pay for spaces. There are MUCH better companies out there to work for! You will get totally screwed over by this company.
Worst company I ever worked for.
Sounds files are horrific, worst ESLs ever (and I'm very good with ESLs and do greater than 85% ESL), all kinds of internal problems, etc. If you look back for previous posts you do find an occasional good post about them, but you'll find 10 bad ones for 1 good one. There have even been people who ignored all the bad comments and went to work for them only to come back here and post that the bad posts were right and they were sorry they didn't heed them. There is always work because there is such a turnover in MTs. I also worked in QA and was offered a management position with them and the quality of the work I saw was so bad that I had to pretty much retype every file.
I second that-worst company I ever worked for also..nm
nm
They are also the abSolute worst company. nm
SoftScript the worst company ever!!!
.....
Are they a perfect company, No..are they better, probably, but are the worst, definitely not.
Overall, I'm happy there. I have tried other job but thus far no one has compared to them in terms of benefits, and I love the leads we have. That is why I stay. If there was a perfect company out there, we'd all be working there but they are pretty close and have a lot of happy employees.
Worst company I have ever worked for
I recently worked for Central Transcription Services (CTS) out of Michigan. My account manager was great. The pay was great - when I finally got it. I don't know if they have cash flow problems or just poor management, but they NEVER paid on time. My last check there was 12 days late, which is why it was my last check....I quit!
Worst company out there. Horrible sound
quality, horrible ESLs, system not user friendly, loopy QA. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
POLL:Worst company you ever worked for and why?
nm
Worst on-line company ever worked for
There is NO communication for MTs, between supervisors, QA, or anyone else. Company is highly secretive. QA is very rude!!! Receiving paychecks is consistently late. I would not advise working there for anyone.
Absolutely the worst company I have worked for. SM
Extremely disorganized, outdated platform (in terms of MedRiteXL), unprofessional management.
This company is the pits! They have the worst program
to work on - supposedly a wonderful automated computerized, integrated with voice recognition, state of the art, etc., that is so far behind the times that you spend 20 minutes trying to just figure out how to do the demographics on each report.
NOTHING is automated. Nothing is uniform.
You get multiple types of reports from multiple accounts to work on, but you have to have the instruction sheets open at all times because there is nothing uniform about which block the date they want for that report goes in (like playing the game where you find the nut shell that the pea is hidden under), so just to be sure you got it in right, put it in all 3. Then make sure you select the right reason that there is a problem on the report. There are probably 20 reasons, several say the same thing, but you better pick the right one (and do not ever suggest they remove the ones you should not use, nor suggest that they only have 1 box to put a date in, or anything else about this program, because it can't be done.) You have to go to a minimum of 5 different screens just to finish the demographic garbage.
The problem is that management has gotten too far away from transcription. They sit in their ivory towers and do not realize how much clerical work the MLS has to do to complete a report. They are not open to any suggestions, always the same old story of we have always done it this way.
Technical support is a total joke. You can sit for hours and never hear a word on how to fix the problem. And when you do hear from them, it is always your fault.
Not sure if they have fixed any of the not-so-automated stuff recently, but I doubt it - they probably just created more boxes for the MLS to complete.
So do yourself a favor and find a different company. I found one that wrote their own program and it is great. You rarely have to do anything with demographics. Everything is quick and easy with good and SENSIBLE keystroke commands (ones you can relate the command to the letter of the alphabet, not something like using control+T to enter a patient name or whatever stupid command Transcend assigned to that field.
Editing is an even bigger joke. The team leads take all the good editing jobs and the MLS is left with the crap. And cherry picking is rampant.
I work for company that has team leaders and
they are the worst cherrypickers of the bunch, biggest whiners of all, and they get away with it because they tell the boss daily how wonderful she is.
I worked for this company and it was the worst experience of my career.
I would advise you to search the archives on this board. You will be able to make your own decision based on that info.
What company is good in your opinion if Spheris is the worst? (nm)
nm
Thanks
SS is the abolute worst company on the face of the earth.
The sound quality of their files is horrendous, their dictators are mostly ESL and the absolute worst ESLs I've ever done and I do ESL all the time and am very good at them usually. I found their platform very time consuming, tech support wasn't very good, QA was an absolute joke. If you take this job you can forget the coffee, you'll need Valium. If you read through the achives there are many posts stating basically the same thing so it wasn't just me. There are even a couple of posts where people decided to take positions against the advice of many of us and they have come back and apologized that they lasted only a month or two and we were right, that it was the absolute worst company out there.
I don't know anything about the other company. I don't know if they are a new company or have changed names because I've only seen them mentioned on here a couple of times.
How is it that in less than 1 year Medware goes from the best company to work for to the worst?
Let's hope AAMT does a better job of picking the next company of the year!
DSG IS MY WORST COMPANY VOTE... DONT WORK THERE...
I agree, they are unprofessional and rude. They throw you into a pool that they have overhired for and there is not enough work to go around... then they cry and complain when youre not hitting your production. They set impossible standards.... unless youre a brown-noser, in which case, see those peoples posts as the ones who would say anything positive about DSG. Its like the movie Mean Girls, and the mean girls are running the show there.
Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
Getting the worst shift and worst work are two different things...
If you are new, you may not get the best shift, but everyone should share in the difficult work. No one person should be stuck with ESLs because they are new. Maybe the new hires won't get first pick of holidays...things like that, but shouldn't get stuck with all ESLs. Doesn't make sense.
opppss meant purple team, not red team.
Sorry, I meant the purple team.
Really bad management. This company will
never tell you the truth about anything. There are much better companies out there and if I were to work for them it would be on a part-time basis only. If you are full-time with them they will hound you to death.
LOL Everyone I guess that says something good about a company is upper management.
Make sure you get your facts straight before you call me upper management.
If anyone would like to email me, then that is okay with me. I dont know how to add my email addy on here, but if you let me know how I would surely like to email you.
Gerri, I worked for a company as management that had would hire
a lot of American transcriptionists just to get the ball rolling on new accounts, and little by little would send it over to India. The company would have me send a little bit of work to India, have it QA'd on our side, and send it to the hospital. The better the Indian company got with the account, the less work we would give to the US transcriptionists. The nasty emails from the US transcriptionists got to me after awhile, along with my conscience, and I quit for the company.
It is a Pakistani company, all upper management are pakistanis.
:+
Management of any company will make you think it is "just you" having troubles. If you are
;]
Anybody ever hear of a company called Specialized Information Management?
Do they hire at home ICs?
DSG is a great company, pay on time, nice management, incentive, but SM
occasionally work load is an issue depending on shift and account but if you're willing to be flexible, you should be okay.
Tennessee
Does anyone know of a hospital or clinic in East Tennessee, Knoxville and east, that hires MTs to work at home?? Thanks.
If it's the one out of Tennessee, don't do it..sm
You will not get paid every week as promised. Constant late payer.
Yes, out of Tennessee
They have been around for a long time based out of Tennessee.
This is the one out of Tennessee..nm

The one in Tennessee....
Do you think 30 minutes of dictation and following a template to a T is a lot for just a test for someone with a lot of experience?
Tennessee

DTS in Tennessee???
I am looking for any current information on this company. I have an interview this afternoon and was wondering how they are to work for. I checked the archives but I keep getting some weird message.
TIA!
If this is the one out of Tennessee ... sm
One of the most DECENT MTSO's out there. True IC. Pay always on time. Fair management, and excellent QA. Pay is a little low, but if you're willing to work hard, then I think you can make up what you lack in line pay through the volume you produce. I loved working there, but the account that I was on wasn't a good fit for me (bad dictators and sound issues). They were more than patient, but my ear just couldn't adjust and they didn't have another account to offer me at that time. I don't think you could go wrong at Medlinks.
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
SPI Healthcare out of Tennessee. nm
m
Possibly DTS in Tennessee. nm
s
ASAP in Tennessee
Anybody worked relatively recently for these people? Any info on company, how they pay, etc?
DTS America in Tennessee?
Does anybody have any current information on this company? I did a search but nothing came up. TIA!
Worst of the worst...I agree with RUN
Please - don't learn the hard way! You will only waste your time and run the risk of not making anything to boot unless you have a relative who is a big city lawyer. Under the sugar coating is something very bitter.
Is DTS in Oklahoma City and DTS in Tennessee the same? sm
Are the offices ran basically the same or are they two separate companies? I have seen some positive posts about DTS in Tennessee but I can't find anything about DTS in Oklahoma City. Thanks in advance.
I worked for a DocQmed LLC in Tennessee - sm
don't know if that is who you are referring to. In my case I just worked per dium and helped with overflow, etc. I was paid well for it and on time. They only had IC, no benefits from what I can tell of the documents I have, though I could be wrong. They had DD though I don't rememeber if I did that or just got a check, I believe they just mailed me a check though, never a problem though . It has been over a year since I worked for them, and about 11 months since they last called me to work. I was too busy at the time to help, so I guess that is why I have not gotten any more calls.
