and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.
if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.
my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.

OUTSOURCE OVERSEAS, OUT OF WORK ALL THE TIME - GOOD LUCK (nm)

Lots of good things below about
I just applied and hope to hear from them, the archives and the posts below from some of their MTs looks good.
outsource overseas a percentage, which could go up...(nm)

They dont outsource...THEY ARE AN OVERSEAS COMPANY
check out www.spi-bpo.com you will see that they are 100% owned by the Philippine Telephone Company now. The US venture holder sold them. I know they have lost many accounts over the last year or so. I know they also have a lot of turnover in management. I'd steer clear of these folks.
hope you got knee pads! LOL outsource overseas...NM

probably because they OUTSOURCE OVERSEAS...perhaps that number is reserved for the India account...?
Good luck to you...
offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.

That means they do outsource. One division is here and one division overseas,
Lots of things
wrong with it. The spellchecker is not good at all. It does not recognize almost all the medical words/medications, etc., and you have to add each word if it isn't in the spellchecker. Another thing, if you want anything block indented, it does not do it, you have to manually space it over. I am assuming this is MediTech, Word-based? If it isn't, then it is even worse.
There are lots of things a company can tell from
Maybe they don't care about how you pay your bills, but the credit report also has previous addresses (as in how many times you've moved) and previous companies you've worked for (as in how many times you've changed jobs). Also, if there are a lot of delinquent payments, they can assume you'll be interrupted at home (during your shift) with dunning calls. Personally, if I were an employee, I'd hire someone with late payments, knowing they need the job!!
ADHI pushes lots of things
IMHO, none of them are useful to the MT. Don't forget, this is the organization that supports offshoring.
Big deal! Lots of companies require certain things whether it be software, sm
footpedals, a certain version of Word, etc. I have an Infinity footpedal and I have used Expresscribe with it previously; however, StartStop is totally worth the money as it works with it as well.
No. Expect good things, and good things will come

Why move all the work for Heartland overseas, are the MTs overseas that much better?
Why? Why do this. It is my understanding that in time that work will be coming right back. Are the overseas MT's in Banglador or wherever better. Don't the companies that offshore worry about the quality of the work, HIPPA issues, patient's confidentiality, etc. Why don't they care? Mark my words, those MT's are not better than us, they have US editors, etc to help them out. They cannot land a new account US-based and compete with any US mt's. What a sad day. I pray for all the Heartland MTs.
Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

Jobs being sent to India - good companies who don't outsource
I've been working for a company for a few years now. This company has started to remove several job types with greater turnaround times to India from our exiting accounts. There was not enough work over the holidays to get in all of my hours (I know work is normally slow then), and this trend is still continuing. We used to have a primary account and a secondary account as a back-up, but now I'm working on at least 5 or 6 accounts just to have enough work to complete my 8-hour shift.
Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

Lots of changes there right now, not good. nm

Lots of info on them, none good. nm
Lots of info on them, none of it good.
Very hard to make lines, can't make $$, pay scale isn't easy to figure out, mgmt problems.
Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too.
Thanks - you have a good day too, and hope we have lots
of work to make our line counts!
All good things come to an end.
The gun replaced the bow and arrow. We all know what happened to those feckless fellows who refused to upgrade their hardware.
The automobile replaced the horse and buggy, the farrier and the buggy companies had to specialize or find a new trade.
Technology is a fact of life.
Maybe transcriptionists will be phased out, but life truly does go on, even if you and a few of your friends decide to dig in your heels and refuse to accept it. The awful truth of the matter is that you may eventually be replaced. It's time to think about preparing for the future rather than perseverating on the past.
Nothing but good things to say about them....
I was with them for a short time. I saw their add and considered sending my resume. They are very family oriented and the platform was fantastic. I love the owner's Dani/Scott. I can't say anything bad about them...I wish that I was still there but found something more in my field of psyche...
Good things come out of bad....
situations. You had reasons to do what you did, and DH sounds like he was taken by surprise that you did do what you did. It's time to regroup and refocus, and discuss further with DH why what happened ...happened. It's not the end of the world - a new door of opportunity has been opened up for you.
Lots of stuff in the achives, nothing good.
You can open your post and click on the see related posts link to bring up info. You can open those posts and see all the responses related to that one too.
Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.
LOTS of good info can be found in the.....nm

Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
but this is why it's better to post the good things
Take cpl to email. You can post great things about a company, but once you post how much you make (no matter what company), you are going to upset a lot of people who are inevitably making less than you do. If you must, post a pay range because you can't say they pay 10 cpl period, because obviously they don't.
I read some good things about DSG.
They have a job opening listed on the job seekers board.
Mostly good things about Axolotl
I checked the archives on this company just a week or so ago and was pleased to find pretty much only good things folks had to say about Axolotl.
Not true. Good things have been said. sm
Actually only one person said anything negative and that was that they didn't pay, but others who have and are working for them countered that and said they do indeed pay.
I started with them last week and am happy so far. Haven't worked a full pay period so can't say for sure on the pay/don't pay issue.
They have an office in Texas and an office in India. If you don't like/want to work for a company that works with India also then it isn't for you, otherwise it has been good for me so far. The account I am on is pretty easy and I am being very productive. It is editing and transcription, from what I've seen about 1/3 standard transcription and 2/3 editing VR files.
Hope this helps.
Well, that explains a lot of things - none of them good.
Look in the archives. Not too many good things said.

I have heard good things - sm
I even spoke to the owner on the phone - SUPER nice. I couldn't take the position right now due to personal reasons but would definitely go with them in the future if need be. A current employee likes it there that I spoke to.
I heard good things about them, but I have to
I really do not like that Oak site, I have tested through that before and lots of hoops to jump through... I don't know if I have the time to take it, the company would have to be really really worth it for me to take the time to test with that software. Just my 2c.
I've seen mostly good things on here...
I just signed on with them and am excited to get started. :D
Do a search. Lots of recent stuff--good and bad. nm

TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM
about them, but am going to start with a very open mind. I am looking forward to it.
Chickadee
Yep. Like other poster said, lots in the archives. 99+% good feedback
on this company. Check the archives.
Posts from the last 2 yrs said not a good place to work. Lots of MTs

YOG before MQ -- lots of work and good income back then. nm

Search the board...Lots of info, not too good..nm

I have heard only good things about MDI-FL and have talked to the sm
owners myself. They seem to be very nice people who care about their transcriptionists. They are MTs themselves, something that helps in this business.
I know they have grown this past year. They probably found the two or three MTs that move from company to company, always finding fault and always bashing the one they quit or were terminated from. It is just MDI-FL's turn to be bashed. I am sure that most people reading this board take it all with a grain of salt.
If you love the company you work for - stay with them. Obviously you found a great fit. I am fortunate enough to have MTs like love working for us (not saying who I am as I promised my staff I would stay away from here) and fortunate enough to have applicants that don't take the bashing on these boards as gospel.
I've heard good things about both...sm
but which one pays better? I'm curious to know too as I thought about applying for eMTS. Let us know. TIA
agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD
x
I've head a lot of good things...sm
About Axolotl. Do you happen to have any info. on which specialties they are hiring for? I haven't seen any job ads for them.
I also heard something about them not paying for spaces. Can you comment on that?
Thank you!
I've heard good things about MDI.
Sorry, I'm not part time so that's all I can offer. Felt I should write something as poster below didn't seem to realize this company board is for asking and discussing companies.
Thats great. I was hoping for good things
Which accounts are you working? Do you like them? Are you making alot of money? Does Hils pay on time, every time?
Thanks
Heard good things about Landmark, so went sm
to their website. It states you must work both Saturday and Sunday. I might have read it wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it said.
I would love a M-F job and wouldn't mind working one weekend day, but not both.
