Does anyone know anything good or bad about a transcription company out of Georgia called Golden Isles Medical Transcription?

anyone working for Golden Isles, please email me.  I have some really good questions that I need to ask a current MT with the large cancer account.

trthn05tftt@aim.com

Are there any current MTs out there working at Golden Isles that I could get some information from? 

Thanks very much.

SheriL.

Just wondering if anyone out there works for them, likes it, if they offer benefits, DD, etc. 

TIA!

Hi!  I am a new MT and trying to find a company that possibly provides the hardware and software for the job.  I want to ask if the Golden Isles is still hiring and if do they have a website? 

For anyone who has worked there long enough to form an opinion!  How is work availability?  QA people?  How flexible are they with scheduling?  Do they allow vacation time?  (I realize this is probably not paid). Decent pay scale?  Do they pay on time?  TIA!!

Could you give me their website address? Cant find them through google. I would like to find out more about this company.

Need information on this company.  Pros and cons, please.  What kind of platform, average starting cpl, how are they to work for?

TIA

This company is probably one of the worse to work for, late/incorrect checks, make it very difficult to get line count without working 10+ hours a day.  I've been doing this for 15 years and never had a problem until I started (and finished) working for them!  Good luck with tech help - they're always on vacation.

P.S. They don't even advertise anymore on here because of they're reputation.

Does anyone work for GIMT or Golden Isles Medical Transcription?  Are they a good company to work for?  How is the pay?  Are the QA staff friendly and easy to get along with?  Just curious...thinking about accepting a position with them and any input would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody currently work there?  TIA.

He may have sold out to Nuance in March of 2007, but he still runs the show!  Second of all they are absolutely NOT bringing any accounts whatsoever back to the U.S.  That's just plain fabrication, deceit, lies, BS -- whatever you prefer to call it.  It just ain't true!  They just recently laid off the majority of the American QA staff and have forced the skeleton American crew they have left to go to production.

The lie that they are bringing work back to the U.S. was started and perpetuated in January of this year as a negotiating tactic to get the Indians to continue to work for peanuts instead of giving them more money.  When the Indians called their bluff, they hired a bunch of American QA people only to fire them at the end of April, beginning of May when the Indians caved.

And finally, they are an Indian run company and their QA and MT staff is 80% Indian.  I have the actual figures given to me by the Director of US Operations at Focus.  Focus employs 3800 Indians!  Does that sound like a U.S. company to you?

Oh, and the Director of Recruitment posted that 90% of their operation is in the U.S.!!!!!  He flat out lies.  He also says everyone laid off got a nice severance package.  Total BS!  Half of those laid off had to call the company and scream bloody murder when their checks were deposited as promised.  The other half will be calling tomorrow!

starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company.  However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day.  It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously.  I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would.
