i lasted 1 month...c msg
pay was pretty good at 8.5 cpl, and they do have some nice staff members.
BUT, horrible platform, heavy ESL doctors, and terrible english-speaking doctors. it was obvious that each QA member had their own preference, even going agaist global emails sent to the mts. a couple of us didnt like our trainer (it looked like we were talking about the same person who is supposedly gone now.
you'll find a lot on the archives.
I think I lasted a month.
nm
that's why i lasted only 1 month

im not too far, i lasted one month (suprising)

Oh great day, I quit a month ago
I only worked there a month. I have not received this letter yet, oh my gosh, this is definately an incompetent company!!! They were horrible to work for and now this, oh my goodness!!!
I quit about a month after the takeover. nm
:(
You heard correctly. I quit over a month ago, sm
and can't seem to get anyone interested in getting their computer back. Does that tell you anything???? Glad I left...what a mess that place has turned into after their supposed reorganization last year!
Before I quit, they told me 400 a month for family.
It stops at the end of the month you quit. Shop around though, I found insurance
for $193 a month for me and the kids. Limit is 2 doctor visits each for a year, but since it is only temporary that is fine, lots cheaper than Cobra which was doing to cost me over $800
I just quit Medquist, hired by Etrans and quit them after one afternoon during the last two weeks!sm
Medquist made me buy a new computer to go to the "Docuscribe" system that was so much better than cottage. When I got there I took a real big pay cut to the tune of probably 30 to 40%. I was getting paid gross lines doing Cedars-Sinai operative reports. I asked for more per line and my supervisor just laughed and said you think were going to pay you $0.12 a line to just do operative reports! I said I quit. I should have said F you and your mamma too:( I had been there all together 7 years through buyouts. I am just sick of it all. I'm going to go sew my daughter a cute little Halloween outfit right now.
I lasted only a few months...
From my personal experience -The clients are horrible, ESLs are very high, no work, lack of respect and they never can seem to get your paycheck correct. Just knowing that they are up for sale was enough for me to look elsewhere.
2 esl, 1 neuro, all others were Taken. lasted a day.
nm
ex-WMX - I lasted there a year also
things were great, then after a year it all went to heck - maybe they do not want long-term MTs - they do that where my partner works, they even brag about it - just keep a huge turn-around of employees so they pay less benefits.
I do know there are people that have been there for years but perhaps you would have to be in from the beginning.
my experience was that they gave preference to MQ hires also...
I only lasted a week with OSi
I think they were totally unprofessional and very disorganized and there was not enough work. I quit almost 2 months ago and they called me this Saturday to see if I could put in some overtime.... nobody seems to talk to anybody else and communicate things. I went back to my old company and am much happier.
Would never have lasted 8 weeks
in these conditions. Have you asked management if the problems can be fixed? like asap?
I lasted one job on their ortho account
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.
It lasted a little longer for me, but I'm ready to move on. -sm
Nice people. You really do feel appreciated for a while, but then I don't know if they think the average lifespan of an MT with any company is that short-lived or what, but they started giving my primary away to others, secondaries I would never get the same dictator twice unless it was a work type I hate and told them I hate, then I'd get them regularly. I don't get it. Feedback and evaluations are not in their vocabulary after you're out of probation. I think it's time to move on.
I hated Amphion, lasted 3 weeks
nm
They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three
nm
Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm
s
Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
My "lull" lasted about an hour. Now it's back on too much work!! (LOL)
nm
I lasted 2 weeks with the account and sound quality. sm.
It was a verbatim account and the sound quality was extremely bad. Nothing but a headache that I just wasn't willing to put up with for a paycheck when I had other options. With no other options I may consider staying longer, but no way any other time.
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you. 
It has been a couple of years but I tried to work there and lasted 1 day and so did a friend of mine
The ESL were AWFUL.. It was all I got and I could not understand anything they said. They were out of California so had a real mixed bag of ESL but none of it was doable. Things could have changed, who knows.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
Perhaps you all should quit (sm)
talking to "Sandy" since she can't spell the name of her own city, she probably isn't "Sandy" after all!
Just quit
I originally told them I wanted to try them out part time for 2 weeks and they agreed but weren't happy about it. I decided what the heck, I'd try FT. For the first FIVE days I had ONE report per day. They kept telling me they couldn't give me a backup until I was off QA, and couldn't get off QA until I had done enough reports!! Lose-lose situation there.
The QA was ridiculous, should have known since the head QA person was from Edix. I had a report that had many many physician errors, illness denied in one spot, added in others. I marked them all for QA and when I got it back, they said they have no way of knowing what's correct so they just put them on through!!! They did find the time however to mark the word "an" that I had put to make the sentence correct as being WRONG, even though the account was not verbatim. I had 2 other QAs come back with errors that I documented to the super that I was right about and they were changed, but all this trouble and I only did 6 reports? I shudder to think what it would be like IF they had any work!!
Quit
Sorry, but there's no other way. Been there, done that. Unfortunately, some QA people get their jollies by terrorizing other people just because they can.
I quit!
Etransplus is all about the numbers, not keeping their MTs in work. If you continue to work for them, you must have a secondary job.
Did you quit yet?
There are companies out there hiring right now even though it's right before Christmas. I had three job offers in one day after leaving. Life's too short to be frustrated.
Believe me, do not quit your other job.
A is the worst place to work
Here is what I would do. I would quit. If you know sm
anyone at Spheris who you have worked with or under that would give you a reference, just use that person as a reference. It is common knowledge that these huge companies could not tell anyone anything about a person who has worked for them. I know one girl who worked for MQ and had been working there for years and applied for a home loan and they told the mortgage company she did not work there!
Point is--figure out who from the company you can use as a reference and use it IF you want to mention you worked for them at all.
Second, unemployment benefits usually have some sort of waiting period and usually you have to be constantly seeking a job during the time you are not employed. It is not worth the hassle. In this business of MT, you can certainly find another job right away or within a week or two. It might not be the amount of money--heck, it could be better! Bottom line is, quit, tell them bye, and move on. Forget about the unemployment and get back to work as soon as possible. These states want you to jump through hoops for that little bit you would most likely collect in unemployment. I know my state has it that you can apply online now and do not have to go into the unemployment office, but many of the unemployment offices are so degrading that you don't want to go there at all.
With all the MT companies out there, you WILL find another job. Go the easy route for yourself and don't put yourself through this degrading process. Get yourself back to work and earning your money and forget about Spheris.
DON'T Quit!!!!
If your could not make line count because you were not qualified, that is their human relations department screw up, they should have verified that you were qualified. If they did, and you were, which I would assume is true because they hired you, I would let them fire me because if they do contest you application for unemployment insurance, they may be made to prove that you are in fact in the minority of their employess who do not make line count, and I think it can be proven that most of the MTs hired do not make line count at these coumpanies for a variety of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with the MT. For instance, SOUND QUALITY OF WORK YOU RECEIVE, TECH SUPPORT IN A TIMELY FASHION, MORE THAN THE USUAL NUMBER OF ESLs, NOT USER-FRIENDLY WORK PLATFORM, POOR TRAINING ON THEIR PART. Unemployment is usually only refused for people who Willfully cause themselves to be fired, not for those who actually tried. Remember, it was their job to determine if you were qualified, unless you lied to them, which is a whole new ball game. In any case, a reference from a company you worked at for four months is worthless, so let them fire you and take your chances. But do offer to try harder and ask for their help in making a go of it, it will look good if they fire you anyway, and document and print emails that are pertinent to your case. Connect a printer to your PC if you do not already have one and print all their emails. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Does anybody know who was let go or quit?
x
One day for me too. I also quit....
because of poor communication. Never answered my QA questions or sent any feedback to me. I realize no news is good news but good grief, at least answer my questions.
no one said they were going to quit
yet either. You actually do not seem either intelligent or rational as you obviously refuse to see that there are issues and believe that if you just pump out the work that you will be okay, which is very naive as someone else had posted. You also need to remember that I am sure that a lot of other MTs have heard somewhat of the same song and dance at other companies and have seen what happened. There comes a point sometimes when things walk like a duck, if you will, that you do question seriously whether it is going to be duck.
Anyone who quit, where did you go?
If you found a good company, can you please let me know where you went! I need to get out of here! Thanks a lot!
Never quit one job until you are sure of the second job. Do them
p
Then don’t quit your day job, I get
4 cents per line for VR.
Just quit there sm
Management is severely lacking.
Trainer was an idiot (but at least she didnt cuss all the way thru the exam like Cbay's trainer did)
They lost the account I was on.
EXACTLY WHY I QUIT OSI!!
I worked third shift and got nothing but very old crap because of cherrypicking by team lead to her favorites. Not only were the age of the jobs obvious but another MT who quit for personal reasons told me that she used to get the best jobs from the team lead. Team leads on OSi are completely worthless for the most part. They get a salary for doing nothing except doling out gravy jobs.
So you quit without having another job?
There are always possibilities but I for one could not afford to just quit without having another job. I don't know your situation though but am happy for you to be relieved. Some of the working conditions make me crazy sometimes but I am overall happy where I am though it is not perfect by any means.
I'd try them out before I quit my other job.
nuff said
If you already have another job just quit OSI
/
Quit the job you have now
BTW: When I said let us know when you quit this one, I meant the one you hate right now... not Transcend.
also PS: I reread my post, I used the word then too much! I am really a transcriptonist, I want to go back and edit my posts to make it BOS compliant! LOL. Have a great day.
IME & IMO - don't quit your other job until you (sm)
get up and running with Keystrokes, or any MTSO, especially this time of year, when it tends to be slow. It may take you a week or so to get work, and remember there is a two-week delay in getting your check; for example, for the PP ending 12/15, we don't get paid until 1/1.
Hope this helps!
Quit OSI, still no W2
This doesn't answer your question. Sorry.
