no call list is a crock. I have been on it since it was first implemented and as far as I can tell, it has never stopped any body from calling, particularly the automated phone calls.

IF you stop calling it Christmas
First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.
To OSi, pls stop calling me to work on my day off!
If all your newbies and mentees can't help you out for chrissakes stop ripping people off and lying to them so you can retain quality MT's who actually have experience and can get the job done.
it's called razzle/dazzle, confuse 'em, make 'em doubt themselves nm
 The real number rounds down to how much you averaged/ made an hour.
No matter how you figure, by the line, character, gross line, by the page, by the dictation minute or whatever, it is what you can average out in a day of work.
You work 10, 12, 14, 16 hours and make $XXXX you divide your hours worked into what you ended up with
Kick 'em 2 the curb - U are 2 good 4 'em! nm
Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.
I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.
Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
Stop taking these insulting wages and they will stop offering them.

A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
had 'em all going!
rofl
not if you don't tell 'em about it! lol
just keep quiet about it
You tell 'em FastRad!! sm
$78,000 last year. Want to see my 1099's?
love 'em
You tell 'em sister....
Cuz I'm just a grinch and have poverty of the soul because I didn't provide comfort and joy as what some perceive to be what the OP wanted. Pity party is what she wanted and yes at this point I'm beating a dead horse, which is maybe what I'll call myself now.
As for the OP, I guess he got off her a$$ and finally made that call since according to all of the posters that supposedly support her claim she worked 24 hours in one day to get her lines in. Now that deserves pity!
I stand by what I say, and I mean what I say. If the OP wanted pats on the back and awwww so sorry, then so be it. What I said is true when there's no work I don't sit on my a$$ and wait at all hours of the night and day, I look for another job. Fortunately, I haven't had to do that.
And yes, NY MT is correct in that everyone wants their cake and eat it too. What took the OP so long to make that call and get those back up accounts? It took for me to shake her up! But you all got her back now, so she'll be just fine!
Tell 'em sister...
if the money in the paycheck is green, it will spend.
Furthermore, no one knows who off shores or not. There could be companies that say they do not off shore, but they do. How would we know? I say if the pants fit right, keep them on and walk around like you own the place instead of worrying about something that is not in our control.
Furthermore, just because a company advertises no off shore applicants does not necessarily mean they do not off shore. It just means they also hire US MTs.
Umm... duhh! Of course I have - I'm one of 'em.
What I was taking about is that companies use that as an EXCUSE when they're trying to make their case about offshoring. They claim that all their US MT's are going to up and retire en masse someday, and they'll need to send more and more work offshore.
Just one more strand in their big web of lies.
High five! You tell 'em!
That's just what I was thinking.
Love 'em.
Most are a lot more interesting than your usual hospital reports. I found there were a smaller group of docs to deal with and can get really familiar with them and not searching to find doc names , new drugs and facilities as much. They do usually talk fast but that is what my slower control is for;-)
Call 'em!
Never say never. Give the recruiter and a call and follow-up on it. Sounds like you're almost in the door, so don't throw in the towel yet.
Go get 'em, girl!!!
You tell 'em sista...
People want feedback.... Here's your feedback and I heard the same thing as you! Not worth it!
Go ahead and warn 'em
but all too many people get carried away and make up all kinds of nonsense. I have worked for a few companies and do know what is out there. I have others to compare this company to. So, that sure isn't the case. Anyway, its a free board, post away...just warning others to watch out and to form their own opinions.
That's what I did...left 'em off my resume. GL to you.

I'm glad I turned 'em down...
I'm sorry to hear that...last summer, I was in contact with them, they offered me a job and I purchased a pedal from them...something about them just struck me as oogy, though, and I ended up changing my mind and turning them down. So, whew, guess I dodged a bullet.
Never heard of 'em - and I live in SC!
Do they have a website?
Oh, egads, that was stingy of 'em!
That's penny-ante wages!
You should call KS and tell 'em the situation (sm)
Ask to speak to the Director of Ops, KB.
Hang in there! To leave no work and come to no work is not good. Unfortunately, the hospitals and other clients take forever to assign IDs to KS MTs.
Yikes - with the pay cuts and all? You can have 'em.
nm
try archives, never heard of 'em. nm

Most of 'em won't tell you diddly until you've
up to & including your SS#, which I won't give 'til I've tested & gotten an acceptable offer.
Hahaha! That's too funny! You tell 'em! nm
Go get 'em. I will be rooting for you in absentia. nm
nm
Love 'em! They're my MT home (sm)
for the rest of my career I hope. I've been there 2 years and I cannot say enough good about the owners and the way they run the company. Plenty of work, pay never late, and I have never felt like an anonymous number on an employee roster there. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to e me @ ustshelby@hotmail.com and I'll try to help.
Some love 'em, some don't. DQS software drove me away about 3 mos. ago...nm

Several posts in the last month or so if you do a search. Some like 'em, some don't. nm

Thank you kindly - I'll check 'em out!
:)
I work there and am very happy. Give 'em a try!
Very professional, accommodating, and fair.
I have a friend who works for them and she loves 'em. don't know about pay
nm
Doesn't cost anything to report 'em to
I'd tell 'em, 'From now on, send me ONE email/day -
And I'd turn off the IM if they abused it like that.
It's starting to feel like MQ there. Can't trust 'em....sm
Although I know people will jump to correct me, many of us have a very hard time getting our hours in. Line counts are down. I worked over 39 hours and 20 minutes last week--all I could scrape together--then got an E-mail from my STM telling me to put in for an hour of PTO since I did not have 40 hrs last week. What vacation you do accrue often goes for making up the hours you can't work because of the lack of work available. They spout off about excellence, commitment, blah, blah, blah, but they are not committed to their employees and outsource work as the not looking good poster said. Unless they are hiring for unusual shifts, I wonder why they are hiring at all. You can easily have 5 accounts and no work. Who knows what they will do next? Pay cuts? That's my bet. They can give us the tough economy talk again to justify it.
I'd tell 'em they could have their foot pedal back
Don't forget, if they can take legal action for return of a little used foot pedal, you most CERTAINLY can take legal action over nonpayment for the lines they gypped you out of.
It is First Choice Medical and they are a great company. Nothing bad to say. Try'em. nm

Great place to work - give 'em a try!
:)
The last 3 I applied for called ALL of mine! I did give 'em a head's up, tho'. :) nm

CALLING ALL NEW MQ MTs
What incentives were you hired at? If you are an SE, were you told you get quarterly bonuses? PLEASE REPLY!
Just keep calling (sm)
Don't be nervous. Same thing happened to me. They are spread pretty thin there, with people wearing a number of hats. They don't really have one person who does only recruiting that I'm aware of, unlike the other companies, hence the disconnect in getting back with people.
Have you tried calling them?

Calling on ICs
I have always been a FT employee for a national ...I understand IC status but very unfamiliar w/companies hiring IC status....Any advice on ICing greatly appreciated and good/bad companies....How is money doing Rad as compared to hospital basic 4...?
Thank you
keep calling
630-553-3680 I played phone tag for quite awhile before I finally got to talk to the recruiter. I believe they must be really busy hiring these days.
No name-calling, please. (sm)
We all have to get along on this board. If you don't care for what someone is posting, you can disagree but you cannot use foul names or vulgar references.
First off an MD would not be calling HR to
talk about an MT. They have a contact and if they had a problem with the work of an MT they would call their contact, not HR.
Have you tried calling them???
