Clinic work is super easy -- 7 to 7-1/2 cpl -- and I think acute care pays 8-1/2 cpl.  They pay once a week, direct deposit, work is done in Word.

Hope this helps.

I have to say, so far, I have never been as impressed with another company, transcription or otherwise, nor have I been treated as well, it almost seems to good to be true.  Of course, everything always seems great in the beginning, but I truly was blown away compared to where I was, even when I think back to beginning with the other company and I thought THAT was good...in fact, I feel undeserving at this point, lol.

I really believe they are sincere, and they have bent over backwards for me, to the point that I felt I couldn't repay them in three lifetimes, lol. I was so skeptical and almost paranoid at first because of previous experience, but they've done everything they said they would.

They offer flextime, downtime for computer problems/meetings/conferences etc., and most importantly, they are very supportive and positive interpersonally, which spurs me on to want to do my best for them in return, not take advantage of it (which is what I think some companies fear if they employ these types of policies.)

There are incentives for quality, which I believe is an essential component that is too often overlooked nowadays. I've never understood why this isn't pushed as a competetive edge over the competition much, anyway, but I guess I see why productivity is more important. A good balance has always been my preference.

There is a fairly thorough testing site, and a skill-level stratification based on QA scores and productivity levels that are taken on a regular basis...not arbitrarily based on how well you kiss booty or make your manager look by working out of your shift to do it.  Management either have been or currently are transcriptionists, which is comforting.

Heavy on the self-starting skillls needed here, and a little iffy on the communication in the beginning, but this quickly cleared and was partly my fault. Make sure you send all training info cc-ed to all trainers to that you're all on the same page.

Oh, and as for the equipment, I received my computer ASAP and it's brand new, 20 dollars per month.  There is QuickLook, Stedman's, and the AAMT BOS already installed for you on the desktop.

The only problem I foresee might be workflow at some point (if everyone jumps to them now), but in my opinion, that happens at times anywhere and can't be predicted.  I was never bothered by lack of work flow much anywhere, unless it went on for an eternity. (I used to be self-employed, talk about famine at times.)

All companies are not all the same, girls and guys, that's bull ya tell yourself to keep you in the comfort zone.  You are not spoiled just because you realize that your experience and skill level, after an appropriate amount of time, might be worth a little something after all, and you should find a company that will tell you so...IF you are truly doing what you say you are and not making excuses when you haven't given it your best.

Make sure to ask for what you NEED, not what you WANT...be reasonable...but don't settle for less than what you truly need to survive on.

If I change my mind down the road, I'll be sure and let you know, but so far, so great.:)

Good luck to you and go get 'em.:)

to the top of my list!  Thanks!! 

Is it really that bad here?  I aint management, just a lowly MT, doin my job.  First day here on the boards.  All this negativity is certainly not helping the overall morale.  Guess if everyone would quit reading/talking bad about it all you all would be so much happier with your jobs. 

foreigners on here talking about doing editing? Your posts are FULL of errors.  I am an American MT editor.  So, this is where all the jobs are going, and you all do not know how to even do the jobs at all, let alone the right way. 

You helped all of us worker bees with your information.  I decided I really don't want to work for a company who offshores anyway.  It's like aiding and abetting a traitor. 

That's a personal preference and not meant to rile or judge you or anyone else.  We are in dire times, and we all have to take care of ourselves and our families the best we can.

This board is a life saver.  I take my hat off to all those who answer questions and provide useful information.      

having said that....... unfortunately, the pay is extremel low for QA.  I do not know what it is for MTs or even if they have US MTs.  The work is plentiful for QA and pretty darn easy.  BUT, even though it is easy, 2-3 cpl for full edit is just really not worth it.  You really have to bust your bum to make any money at all. I don't mind working hard (believe it or not :)) but you can't kill yourself for peanuts or you would be better off working for Old Navy.
