and they also promise you the moon in the beginning. everyone was quite nice and wonderful in the beginning in my experience. then I got thrown to the manager, who was schizophrenic.
when no work, NO ONE will respond to you. when there is work, they are all over you like leaves on trees...threatening, harassing, etc.
depends on what is important to you. oh, and I could not even get 1000 lines/day after a while...was awful.

Definitely the luck of the draw. I didn't last there either but

And even then it's luck of the draw most times as far as acct, supes, etc.

Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

No, but if you put in a good word for me with my supervisor I'd appreciate it. :)

Not you, Daisy. The one above

I agree with Daisy. Also,
it seems you were looking for empathy but those responding seem to work for your company. I don't think you will get any empathy from co-workers. Just advice. The pay was too low to start with. I can't really speak on speed or Expanders b/c I am not that great at either. I do use an Expander but only just started to recently after 4 years of typing plus have other issues. Get the experience and move on if you don't start making the money you want soon.
best wishes
oopsy-daisy!
That should have been persist WITH. Can't believe the grammar trolls didn't pounce on that one!
Good luck and good nerves. sm
I hope you do well. I would rather have a root canal than drive a bus around with the rowdy kids around here, my gosh, they get in fights all the time, the bus driver has to return the bus to school. You are probably from a better area, but they would have to pay me big, big money. Good luck to you though.
Good for you! I have done that several times......Good luck to you. nm

Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe! They were strict when I was with them though
They are trying to draw in the
single moms of the world with that claim to fame. MT is a very difficult field to learn and be successful in especially in today's world when these big nationals are only looking out for #1, keeping their clients happy at the use and abuse of the hired help. If you have years of experience because you dug your heels in years ago, stuck it out and know your worth, their callous and cold attitude is less traumatizing.
MTs definitely need someone looking out for them to provide job security. You would think that the educational institutions of today would start looking into what the future holds for their graduates. It should be their responsibility to ensure that students enrolling in their curriculums will have good, stable job opportunities when they graduate. Sadly, most fall short and do not concern themselves with that aspect of career training. They, too, just want your money honey with no guarantees attached.
Have had good luck with them since Feb.
I was told about a horror story that went on between them and one MT when I was brought on. Nothing even close has happend to me or another MT that I talk to from Medscript. Perhaps it was a two way horror story for the owner and the MT? I will post an email address if anyone has specific questions I can try to help.
Good luck to you
I worked for MQ for years, and if you want ANYTHING you have to continuously harass "the higher ups." Remember, it is your money, and it is owed to you, don't let up on them or you will get NOTHING! Management sucks at MQ.
Sorry, I do not. Good luck!

GOOD LUCK!
Insurance costs are just outrageous nowadays--I can hardly afford it, and the costs seem to increase with every new enrollment period.
Good luck
No problemo! Best of luck to you!
Good luck!!!! They don't even pay
let alone spaces!!! They blowing smoke up, well, you know where!!!!
Good luck.
Ditto. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Could be! Let us know how it goes and good luck!
.
Good luck to you then...
I just saw above where you had worked for DSG. That was another I had considered in the past but saw quite a bit of negative at one time. May I ask why you left DSG?
Thanks!
Good luck to you as well. sm
Bascially DSG wasn't willing to pay me what they thought I was worth, which sounds stupid, but it's true. Everything else except for the pay was perfect. I loved working there, and I recommend them. They have had some growing pains in the past, but things have leveled out quite a bit. I wish you the best.
Good Luck...let us know what happens with Lou..nm
:)
Good luck
I was offered the same deal but there was no work when I started. Nada, nothing. I had 9 jobs for an entire week and was told I couldn't get a backup because I wasn't off of 100% QA, and couldn't come off 100% QA because there was no work!!! When I left, they did NOT pay the training bonus as promised and I reported them to the Attorney General.
Don't know anything about them but good luck!!
:)
That's up to you. Good luck! :) nm
.
yep, me too.....good luck to you! :)
Good luck to you too!!

Your welcome and good luck.....nm

Good luck! sm
Bet it is the same company I worked for. If it is, you will never get it. Was told my check was in the mail 10 months ago, and never received it. I had my own equipment so there was nothing to return.
Good luck on this one

I did not have good luck!
Jim, the hiring manager, was supposed to send me all of the new hire papers, etc. No word from him. I e-mailed him constantly and called him constantly to find out where the papers were and when I was going to start. He totally ignored me. I call that very unprofessional. That should tell you something about the company. There seems to be a big turnover because they are always constantly hiring.
Well good luck with that one. I will not
:(
KS's GOOD LUCK!!
I went into that totally blind and naive.....never again...lets face it...if your willing to put forth all your effort looking up things that the company should have referenced you with before they threw you into a contract....that tends to leave a bitter taste in your mouth!
Good luck!

Good Luck!
I, too, love working at a company that refuses to offshore their work. I am very happy there. I actually feel like I am valued as an employee. I hope all goes well for you and that you are hired by Keystrokes!
Good Luck!

Good luck
I wish you all the luck in the world with the new company, I left QT a few months ago and went to work for them but only lasted about a month, continually switching accounts, software was pathetic, just do not expect to make anywhere near what you did at QT, my line count was actually about 60% of what it was with QT and my line rate was less, went for hte benefits but did not stay
Good luck to us both then!
nm
Good luck !!!
Good Luck to you
Congratulations on getting out of the evil place. You will be happier anywhere else!
Good luck with that......!! nm

Good Luck!
Let us know.
good luck. .
I'm so happy for you . . I so want to be a real Transcriptionist again. . not sure there are any in my area though. . I think I will check it out. . .
Good luck with that one...
I had the same negative experience with DSG. Nearly all of my emails were ignored. Whenever I did get a reply, it was rude and unprofessional. Constantly ran out of work to QA and was expected to type in order to make any money.
Good luck trying to get it from them
Last year I begged and pleaded, called, emailed, etc, and never received my 1099 from my previous employer. And the years that I worked for her prior no matter how hard I tried, I didn't get them until a few days befor the April tax deadline. Needless to say, she's no longer in business.
Good luck.

Good Luck!!!
Let me know how it goes for you. Been with MQ for 10 years and looking to move on. Do you have ASR with Wedmedx? Will you have at least a competitive line rate with them? Mostly, would like all typing with little or no ASR at all. You know why. ASR is a bummer. I actually had to type more then 5 reports the other night and found that I had almost forgotten how to actually type. I was so much better with my typing skills before ASR came along. Sorry, just venting. Again, good luck in your new job and thanks for the info. 
Way to go! Good luck.

Good luck (sm)
The book is The Independent Medical Transcriptionist by Donna Avila-Weil. There's also an ebook from some MT work at home site that has an account getting letter that she guarantees but wants $50 to download the ebook.
I've done everything in my power to bring in a couple more clinics but if they already have a transcriptionist or transcription department, most of them are unwilling to change. I'm actually going back to school to get an accounting degree because after almost a year of being an experienced independent, I see no growth in my business and the clients I do have, I happened to be in the right place at the right time.
It's pretty hard because of nationals, outsourcing to India and the plethora of new MTs graduating from all these schools that have sprouted like dandelions. If you do find something that works for you, I've love to hear how you did it.
The only thing I suggest is hitting the pavement with your business card and a whole lot of prayer. Good luck.
Maybe so....good luck with that!
