going by the address in Clearwater - it's a pretty crappy crappy location

In Reply to: American Transcription Solutions - tracy
so it kind of makes me wonder what the company is like! I know that location shouldn't really matter, but let's be realistic - there are TONS OF PLACES in Clearwater with office space to rent, but judging by the address, I am pretty sure this is out of an apartment or house. Not that that should make a difference,

Their pay is crappy! nm

Really crappy ESLs. nt
They don't want to pay, accounts are crappy, you have to
fight to get your paycheck, they want you to edit offshore work, etc.
Maybe it was your attitude as well as your crappy sm
transcription skills that got you let go from there.
RE: crappy doctors and good MTs
Any halfwit could have figured out that she was talking about the doctor's crappy dictating skills, not their doctoring skills. She never said she couldn't do the work either. Every MT would like an occasional good dictator, but those all go overseas or to VR. You're the one with the bad attitude and condescending tone.
Crappy pay, no communication, inept QA. NM
I've gotten some really crappy stuff too and it just
wears me out. I can't make lines, but can't claim no work either. I'll have a really bad day, the next day will be so-so, and the next day is pretty good, and then it starts all over. I don't mind no work, but I wish when I ran out the first time I could just take the rest of the shift off.
Crappy hours at first, but guess what
My son years ago got a job, only the weekends but he was on call. He quit. That was not a good idea because had he stayed his salary now would be through the roof. He quit a union job. My husband now works for the same company. When he started, he was what they called on the board. Well, anytime a person not able to work their shift, my hubby got that- all hours- anytime-and now he has seniority and paid off in the long run for him. No wonder outsiders being given/offered our jobs. No one should ever complain about their jobs.
Not unusual, but some of the crappy companies
force MTs to work weekend days rather than simply hiring part-timers for weekend work like most companies do.
Again with the crappy reading skills
With each post, you clarify how you are able to make your grandiose claims about VR. Reading, as they say, is fundamental, and once you ignore that whole pesky reading for context thing, I'm sure VR does get a lot easier. Try it again, slowly this time, and you'll see that I qualified the 1000 lines number by following it with an 'or'. I know...it requires actually a little more effort than looking for squiggly red lines under the word, but you may find you actually can follow a discussion better. But don't try it in your work. It might actually slow you down.
Obviously you don't receive the crappy quality of drafts...sm
that I see all day long on this system. They claim that it learns but it doesn't, because my coworkers and I make the same corrections over and over again to the same things.
GOOD MTs aren't ... but there are tons of crappy ones
Finding one that is actually GOOD in this business? nearly impossible. I do editing and QA (and have been an MT for 22 years) and I see nothing but horrid work day in and day out.
I work for SoftScript w/ another crappy system

Hate these companies that want you to test BEFORE they tell you the crappy pay!!!
What a waste of time!!!
Crappy company with crazy platform and
sick of working for crappy companies?
I have been thinking about starting my own company. I have done some research and it looks like all I really need is an FTP site, handhelds (that the doc's purchase themselves), and to get accounts. If anyone is interested in doing this with me let me know...or if anyone has any other information on starting a company input would be appreciated!
Why are we working as IC's and the companies are making profits off of us? Let's cut out the middle man and make the money we deserve!!
My idea is that a bunch of us get together and create a business. We put together a good sales letter...we all do our part in mailing these letters out, i.e., finding accounts.. We decide how much we want to charge per line, (I believe the going rate is around 11-14 cents a line).
These are just some ideas....Anyone interested??
I quit because it was a crappy company. I worked in QA.
There was so much crap like you are spewing here. My standards are much higher than SS and I told H so when I quit.
Trust me.. I have come from a lot of crappy jobs that is why it was so refreshing to hear some
excitement over the possibility of another job.. one that may be a great hidden treasure. I just think it is great when people never lose that newbie enthusiam even after some not-so-great experiences. I admire you totally and best wishes.. I hope this is the job you have looked for..If so, sign me up LOL
Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?
nm
Sounds awesome to me. I only get $2.50 a page and the crappy part is...
If I only type half a page, I get paid for half, a quarter of a page, three quarters, and so on. I'm not happy about this at all, especially since all I've been given to go by for examples are a few reports typed by someone else. There have been days I've worked 10 to 12 hours and I'm quick! I think you should be paid by the line or character. Except in your case, if they are strictly going by pages, you'd better jump on it!
No, if they knowingly tested you when you had crappy sound effects what would they treat you like a
.
I agree. This past year has been terrible with MQ. Never enough work, crappy dictators, no pay for
weekends and holidays anymore etc etc I guess with all their legal woes we are paying for it and then have to have few blanks and 98% QA on dictators I have never even heard of. A joke to be sure and no matter how good the new pay plan is or they allow everyone a window to work then everyone will be working all hours to get lines for incentive which they probably never will. MQ is losing a lot of MTs and I expect that will continue. They seem to just keep pushing and pushing and it almost seems like they want people to leave so it really makes you wonder what is going on here. They really just dont care.
My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm

JLG is not in Clearwater ..
but a smaller town named Oldsmar .. they used to be in Tampa. ATSI is not related to JLG and are relatively new to our area. There may be some last vestiges of Spheris left in Clearwater too .. TSI is in Clearwater.
If this is the one in Clearwater...
and Sarasota, I used to work there a long time ago. Very nice people, checks always on time. As I said, it was so long ago I would not know about benefits or pay scales but the people were nice and honest. It was a good place to work.
in clearwater fl?
If this is the same place I was hired there but waited over a month for them to get the paperwork in order to start. In the meantime I was offered an home position with a local dr so I did not actual go there. I was getting a little worried on how long things were taking. Sorry not much help here.

Sorry, ATSI out of Clearwater, FL.......n/m

ATSI out of Clearwater, FL
I noticed ATSI just posted once again on MT Daily the same job ads last month where they offered me a position and then never bothered to follow through with me. Please DO NOT even consider applying or working with this company. They will do you like they did me. It's not worth your time testing with them. Very disorganized company. I am very disappointed how they treated me and how they lead me on to offering me a position and then totally ignoring me when I left numerous of phone calls, e-mails, etc. Again, please DO NOT even consider applying or working for this company. It's not worth your time!
ATSI - Clearwater, FL
I just saw that ATSI posted AGAIN the same job ad (3 times within the last 3 weeks) that they screwed me on when they hired me last month and then totally ignored me and did not even follow through to me with my job offer. Looks like they cannot find any qualified MTs. Thanks for not applying with them and taking my advice. You will be sorry if you work for this company. I do not want you to get screwed like they did me. You do not deserve it!!! This company really has a lot of problems.
Have a great holiday!!!!!!!!!!
ATSI clearwater
Anybody else out there get hired by this company and have yet to hear back from them for equipment set and start date?
ATSI - Clearwater FL
This is a wonderful transcription company. I actually worked in the office with the owners when they had an office in Sunnyvale, TX, and got to know them - nice people! I always have plenty of work unless it is around a holiday or Spring Break and everyone medical is slow at that time. My checks have always been GOOD and ON TIME! I have been with them since 01/2004 and would never want to work any place else.
is the one in Clearwater or in Maryland?
nm
Is the same company that is in Clearwater, Florida
xxx or is it a different company?
ats, clearwater florida, radiology
Have any of recieved an e-mail from ATS in clearwater if you passed or failed the radiology test, or if they have filled the position. I wish they would just tell you one way or the other...........
location
Are you not at liberty to say where in the NE this is located? I love the NE area and so does my husband. But relocating would involve selling a house, which might take some time.
Location
The company I originally posted about is TAIB out of Maine. She still has never contacted me. I just think this is so strange.
location
A Stat Transcription Service is in Port Orange, FL
location of TTD, Inc.
I did an Internet scan and what came up was Tollhouse, CA. Is this correct, or is there another location for this company?
not sure about location, but
this is what was written at the top of the info packet:
DIT Transcription is a Christian based business that was started approximately eight years ago. During that time, we have had tremendous growth which continues today. Our services have been tested and proven to be 100% HIPAA compliant by some of the largest health care systems in the Southeast. We are adding clinics constantly, and therefore we are also adding independent contracting transcriptionists constantly.
Location of CMC
They are out of Charlotte, NC - CMC stands for Carolinas Medical Center.
CorTMedical location
I went back to the website and saw they were close to Dayton..but would still like to know about bennies and cpl (ballpark)
New York location
I don't know about the other, but the one in New York has a very nasty attitude when it comes to transcribing foreign languages.
Is this the NJ or the Oregon location? nm
s
They also track your location
because you cannot post anonymously anymore. If you are using a proxy site you cannot post.
Big Brother MTSO.
How did you find out which location? I

finding the location
it must have been when either I was googling it, or using a list someone posted here about non offshoring companies, and clicked there. Honestly don't remember and can't find it myself again...
No, it is in a different location. I applied at Lanier once, also. sm
MedQ is on Century Blvd.
One poster in another location likes it there. nm
