Look at previous posts here. It's said to be a terrible place to work! nm

Posts from 2005 said it was a very "unstable" place to work for

Posts from the last 2 yrs said not a good place to work. Lots of MTs

If SOOO many are saying it ... sm
i.e., with STRAIGHT typing and not being able to make lines/minimum wage... I'm sure there must be something to it. All these MTs can't be making it up!
Since anything even remotely resembling English has gone the way of ($$$ for MTSOs) VR ... all that seems to be left is transcription that is rejected by VR ... all that's left for the dedicated, experienced MTs is GARBAGE ... it's not the LACK OF WORK ... it's the TYPE OF WORK the straight typing MTs are reduced to. So, off your high horse and start doing 8 hours' worth of this crap (actual 14-16 hours required) to get FT lines in .. and then tell us we're not cutting it! 
This is sooo true!
I know from personal experience. The newbie gets in to work for a service and gets put in the FIFO pool and then complains all the time that there are too many dictators and they cannot understand them, or they do not know that speciality, yet they begged to get hired and promised they would do anything to gain experience, yet they cannot do the actual work.
SINCE EVERYONE IS SOOO NASTY
About typos, doesn't anyone know the difference between the usage of NO AND KNOW?
sooo true....
 You are exactly right. My favorite I found to be true is..misery loves company. I also believe in the Laws of Attraction,,, if you're miserable, you attract misery. If your happy... you attract happiness as more people like to be around you and everyone puts everyone is a better mood.
Sooo obvious..
It's so obvious that these last few replies were by the company/employees themselves in efforts to dismiss what is going on. MTs don't snooze on this one! Troll.. that is funny
cause I am sooo sick of hearing (sm)
whining and griping and complaining about the same old same old!!! That's why! And if it agitates YOU to think about finding another flippin' job, then so what! I really don't care! I say, if your job stresses you out this much, it is very easy to look elsewhere. There are only TONS and TONS of other places to work, so...find another J-O-B! Simple as that! And quit yer whining, why don't cha? 
ohhhhh my, sooo sorry (that was no class act)sm
And some on this board say the MTs complain (for no reason, their fault etc.
Ya know what, I am not here daily but I seem to see some of the same theme over and over and then to take heed. I know people stretch, etc, but I believe it, yes, I do.(one that got me recently was PAYPAL and having to pay $10 for a check that is $240 to get paid, (20 a month)
Sooo, is Trans Tech VR is that why sm
there is seemingly disenchantment in the postings? I will not try VR again, so just wanted to know. I will never EVER work for that kind of money EVER. This is a highly skilled and technical, knowledgable based profession. PERIOD and ever changing info to keep up with.
Well, aren't you just SOOO special!
Get over yourself - being an MT is boring
Glad I don't do it anymore.
I Sooo Agree...some HR Recruiters/companies
do not realize how much a waste of time it is for them and the potential employee/IC to go on with an endless hiring process of repeating application questions, testing, etc...possibly only to find out that they do not pay enough, or some other major item that is not unacceptable to one of the parties. I have had some time-waster interviews, and I do not like to feel I've wasted my time any more than the recruiter does.
Ditto! Can you say boring!!
But, we are getting paid.
I have a boring last name, and when I was in school I always - sm
secretly wished a had a long, difficult to spell-and-pronounce last name, just so I could sit there and watch the teachers stumble over trying to pronounce it.
Not another TT rumble. How boring.

It can be boring at times...but it's a job...
it's not necessarily supposed to be fun and exciting...it pays the bills just fine for me
About that boring part...
I would bet my next paycheck (and it is a decent sum) that you are the type of person who punishes others when you are bored. Bored with your marriage? Have an affair and make your hubby pay the price. Bored with your kids? Ditch them at the mall and make them pay the price. Bored with your friends? Yawn during conversation and offend them.
Life is not supposed to be free entertainment. Get over YOUR self.
Every job gets boring at some point. nm

Now you're just boring me
You are closed-minded and refusing to absorb any other opinions other than your own. You and others like you will unfortunately find yourselves out of this profession in the very near future, and it will be of your own choosing.
I can't speak for other editors here, but if the MT is awake and alert and editing reports, your argument about compromising patient care is just ludicrous. A proficient, skilled MT will not jeopardize patient care any more through editing than he/she would through standard transcription.
You've made up your mind. I'm not going to attempt to reason with you further.
You're only hurting yourself by refusing to learn and that's quite frankly your choice.
*shrug*
I bet Keystrokes is sooo glad they posted their benefits! LOL
Sheesh! Talk about attack mode! 
I am SOOO sick and tired of BEGGING for work!
Anyone know of a company that is hiring ICs, flexible scheduling, multispecialty clinic, at least 8 cents a line (shows my desperation...!), steady, dependable work flow for the most part, a company where you can stay and work for at least a few years straight. Any out there? Do not want MDI-MD. Do not want to be an employee - want to be an IC. Do not want any complicated platforms. Any smaller companies out there? I can't find jack lately, even with over 10 years experience. I need consistent work!
Free and incredibly boring! (nm)

Lots of boring discussions!
What kind of toothpaste do you use? What is the weather like where you are? If you could be any animal, what would you be? What is in your purse? These are just a few examples of the ridiculous discussions that have been held on that board!
Name just 1 job that doesn't get boring at some point. nm

Many times the truth is both boring and painful.
Time to wake up and admit that to yourself.
I am in a pool... see inside for the boring details :)
When I started with TRS I was a 36-year clinical-only MT, and the reason I took the job with TRS was, among other things, the fact that they offered to up-train me into acute care. (In fact I applied at Transcend just before I applied at TRS and they said no thanks, don't call us and we won't call you, and they wouldn't even let me TRY the freakin' TEST, so I find it mildly amusing that now they've got me anyway.)
But I digress. Anyway... at first I was assigned to a somewhat-limited pool on a large hospital account (an account that was brand-new to TRS and in fact I think we stole it from 'the Q') and all I was doing to start with was discharge summaries and letters. Well, once I got used to all the different voices, I started begging for at least some consults and H & Ps because even though I had only done 'clinical' before, I had done literally thousands of excruciatingly-detailed consults and H & Ps for internal medicine, hematology-oncology, orthopedics, and a few others I can't think of right now, over the years.
Then, apparently because I could actually do the work (plus I got kicked off the usual 1-month mentoring full-QA program after only 10 days, because it was mostly a waste of their time to full-QA me), they started trying me on another account, which I was later told was the VERY HARDEST account TRS had in its inventory, and before long I was in the 'all-work pool.'
So now the 'hard' account is my primary, the original account (still with only discharge summaries and letters) is my secondary, and I also have a tertiary (which fortunately I don't get hit with very often because it has REALLY CRAPPY sound 'quality', scratchy phone lines or something) on which I seem to be on just consults, progress notes, discharge summaries, and H & Ps.
I am told that the 'goal' at Transcend is to have everyone working something like 80% on their primary account, with the other 20% on secondary and tertiary, with no more than 3 accounts (except perhaps in extraordinary circumstances), mostly so there would be fewer account instructions to keep track of.
I can't find out how many physicians practice at the hospital that is my primary account (short of manually counting them) but it is a 350-bed hospital where they do pretty much everything. Just on a rough guess, there might be around 100 dictators I run into. A certain number of RNs and PAs dictate in addition to the doctors.
They keep me on that 'hardest' account because I am actually pretty good at deciphering most of it. Of course there are a couple of real 'problem children' still, and they usually have as many blanks after QA gets done with them as they did when I gave up on them, so that makes me feel better.
Not only that... our people are very proactive about actually talking to the clients to try to resolve problems. One of the worst dictators was just recently talked to and she has gotten a whole lot better. I e-mailed the liaison to report that, and asked them to please pass the word along that this doctor's dictation had indeed gotten a lot better and we, the poor saps at the other end of that phone line, really and truly appreciate her efforts....
Anyway. I had better get back to the work that is actually available this morning....
Anything else anybody wants to know, just ask, and I'll try to answer as best I can. :)
This drama NEVER ends! It is SOOOOOO scary, and so boring at the same time!
Now Lee will come on, with an empassioned plea to please call her, and yada, yada, the misunderstandings. This person left, or that person left, or now a new bolt of lightning. It is getting ABSURD to have this regurgitated at least weekly on this board! Same old, same old. I would NEVER work for Keystrokes, and can't imagine anyone falling for this saga and applying. Something is VERY wrong in KS land.
Ditto that! Psych is soooo boring. Feel bad for people and their many problems, but not

Not me. I hope there is a special place reserved for them in a very hot place.

Don't use yours all in one place!!!!!

Me neither. Bad place IMO

I think so, from the second place.

Bad Place!!
If you like to get paid for your work, then I would suggest not working for her!! She still owes me quite a bit of money, the pay is ALWAYS late and not always correct. She is also extremely moody and will take everything out on you if she's having a bad day. She says that her VR is really good, but I couldn't make much with it, and usually ended up typing the reports over for 6 cents/line.
Don't know why they ask in the first place if they
aren't going to take into the consideration what people have to say. There have been a few others that did the same thing and came back here to post how sorry they were they didn't listen to the negative posts.
This place is not for you then.
to have you and your strive for excellence attitude. Try another company right now so that you don't lose your touch. Best wishes...
If MQ MTs are looking to that place, .

Run from this place!

There is a place for everyone, though you are still
in the honeymoon phase. If you're happy I'm happy for you.
Is it possible to try a third place?
Third might be a charm. No matter what you choose, trust your heart. Good luck!
Why would someone place an ad SM
and use an address like that? You have to wonder. Same goes for people who use completely unprofessional emails to communicate with companies about jobs, mommy2joey, lovinmama, all that stuff. It's ridiculous.
My place
I just had an email tonight asking about where I worked because of another posting here and like I told them, was chatting on here with a lady, told her where I worked and about a month later she applied there, got hired, received the foot pedal and then nothing. She asked me to talk to this person (we both knew her) and when I did, my company got in a twit, saying they could do their own hiring??? and all I did was to ask them about getting back in touch with MS X as she was waiting to go to work. That was probably about a year ago and I never did that again. I feel almost 100% your low count is exclusively because of Chartscript. I have always since the 80s done straight at least 2000 or better a day whatever system I was on UNTIL in 2000 and something started and dropped like a leaded balloon. I gave up a job that was not hard work at all, but was not going to work for less lines than I knew I could do. Immediately went back up in next job.
Re: Your place
I would not want you to get into trouble w/ telling me anything about where you work. However, you have given me encouragement that looking for a position at another place that does not use Chartscript is a good idea. I have been questioning whether learning a new platform would be worth it or would I still be in the same situation. However, now I'm excited to think my line count could double or more!! Thanks for the info and encouragement!
I think this is the right place, but I don't know if I can help you.
Maybe try testing on their sites. I only ever got an interview after testing for the companies, not just forwarding my resume.
Good luck and sorry not much help.
