All customer service is outside of the US and I had a really tough time communicating with them.  Also if you choose to discontinue early there's a whopping $90 fee that's buried in the fine print.

I used Vonage with broadband satellite for 2 months and it disconnected frequently on me....my satellite has been stable for years with multiple platforms so I suspect Vonage is just not suited for satellite.  Just a heads up!

I have been working for JLG for the past month or so and I have to say I am very impressed.  This company delivers what they pitch in the interview.  They do small things to make you feel part of the company and to make you feel important, but the best part is that so far they have paid on time, with absolutely no hassels of any kind.  They strive to make sure that you do not run out of work.  I am now assigned to 3 different accounts and so far the work has been more than I can do.  They also pay comparable line rates according to other companies across the board. 

I wanted to put this out there just in case someone is looking for a position.  As I understand it, one of their requirements is that you have 3 years experience with acute care transcription.  It has been stated to me several times that they are looking to hire a large number of transciptionsts, so possibly some of you can look into their company.  So far, I am very pleased, especially coming from the last company that I worked for.  I will be posting about that company later.   

Does anyone know an excellent company who hires part-time transcriptionists and furnishes equipment?

A company I've been working for since October on an awesome account is making some changes recently that I'm not exactly thrilled with.  I love my account and that is all.  It is a great money making account when there is work, A BIG WHEN!!!  Work is consistently low and now we are supposed to work a certain shift and not go outside that shift.  The problem being we are often running out of work or work starts late and we often can't get it finished in that time period.  The biggest thing keeping me there is my production on that account when there is work.   The company is now requiring a lot of paperwork to keep up with hours worked, line production, QA's reports, requiring us to sign in to 2 different sites to fill out required information along with a productivity sheet (all taking up time that we don't get paid for).  I've also been told by HR that I will need to get a secondary to make my lines during my shift but also told that they dont' have a secondary acct available.  I've been asking for one for 5 months now without success and finally just got a second job a couple months ago.

Now for my consideration I am also working at this second company where I don't make as much an hour because I'm still working up my production, but work is available when I need it, more than I need actually.  I'm never sitting there refreshing queue begging for reports and I don't have to worry about wasting time. 

I have the option to remain PT and do both or quit the 1 with inconsistent work (but the awesome acct.) or do the other one FT and cut down on a whole lot of stress.  I just hate to say goodbye to that awesome account. 

You can only find out so much from a company's website......of course they are not going to include "not enough work to keep you busy" or "so much work you will never leave your desk again" or even better yet "we really never send you a paycheck."   I am looking for a full-time home-based position, preferably clinic, and I do have experience.  Can someone recommend a company?!?!?!?!

Generally, I'm left alone to do my work, which is what I prefer.  Not much contact with my coordinator unless I initiate it or do something stupid.  In days gone by there was enough work to go around, and on occasion when there was a backlog there were ample bonuses.  That hasn't happened in a long while.  There was also a quarterly reveiw bonus (for 100% QA), but there have been staff changes that evidently have precluded reviews as we haven't had one in 2 or 3 quarters, now (and thus, no bonus). 

The pay isn't great, but the work is good, the platform easy, most of the dictators clear.  I have just general clinic accounts, but I understand the VA accounts pay more. 

I've seen this a number of times before.  Each time of absolutely bone dry work was immediately after an ad (and I suppose subsequent hiring).  It's disappointing.  What's worse is that when I was hired I was probably the cause of someone else being out of work. . .

Not perfect just decent, I have a year experience so deffinately still learning, I work as an IC on Acute Care but the work runs out and I want to keep this job and have another MT job for I'm getting tired of my office job... Figure I might as well do what I like for a living

I have 15 years experience.  Looking for a company that is very flexible on scheduling (full time student also) and treats employee like a human.
