One company to stay away from is Fast Chart - ANON
Posted: May 04, 2011
One company to stay away from is Fast Chart, but they OVERHIRE BIG TIME, and you cannot make a living, always running out of work, they ask for shifts, but it's a free for all, and they even posted in their newsletter and congats to a VR editor or edited 53,000 lines in a pay period! Now, tell me how is that possible and maintain 98%, NOT. unless you are glued to the chair with a catheter, and also what about the other eidtors that needed the work! Letting people work a free for all in staffing is a HUGE mistake, it's always crisis management at Fast Chart, that's why I left, and went with a much smaller company with plenty of work, I took a pay cut, but I wasn't making any money anyway, but am now! Thank God! Poor management at Fast Chart, and the owner is really snippy, and does not respond to e-mails at all, and does not like it when MTs complain and threatens to fire you if you do, so you kinda have to be seen and not heard or she''ll make sure you have no work and have to leave, would not recommend them if an MT wants to make any money.
FastChart - IC with shift??? - anon
[ In Reply To ..]You're asked for a specific shift but you're an IC--a huge no-no with the IRS and the state labor board.
FASTCHART - FCMT
[ In Reply To ..]I think the reason that they ask you to submit a monthly schedule is so that they can "prove" that you set your own schedule, but beyond that, you have to work when the work is available. Beyond your "schedule" you are expected to monitor your emails including late at night and be on call to "log in" and clear out the queue when the call is made.
I agree with the owner being snippy. She rarely responds to emails. You rarely hear from her unless she has a complaint. It seems that she only values her workers as her tools, not as human beings.
However, as I understand it, she is not so atypical as an MTSO owner in this industry, with regards to her attitude towards the ICs, and she refers to herself as "the boss", even though it is an IC position.
They do OVERHIRE. TAT and keeping the clients happy seems to be their most important concern.
Also, if you work on EditScript, they throw all of your accounts into one pool and will rearrange the jobs to their benefit, so you never know which of your accounts you will be working on.
In fact, at their whim, they will turn off one account and leave it off while you work on your other account, if it suits them. Does not seem too much like an IC position, does it?

Fast Chart Transcription Company
May 29, 2015
I have worked for this company for 6 months, and I am about to quit. I was reading some posts about Fast Chart Transcription were people said they were getting 7 cents a line with them. I don't know when that was, but she started me at 3 cents a line. Not only that, no matter how carefully I reviewed over and over the reports I did, she nitpicked everything and said my QA score was too low, 92%. I looked at her corrections and it was things like when the doctor dicta ...

Fast Chart And Fees
Feb 18, 2011
I applied to Fast Chart, tested and then was offered a position. So, I read their contract and got to the fees section. I knew they charged a 7.50 fee for not meeting your line requirement, but then there was going to be another fee after you had been there for 90 days. This fee is calculated using some kind of formula 40.00 - (A/B)*40....A is number of lines you actually transcribed and B is the Line requirement and then there is another formula to calculate edited lines. ...

I put in an application for a job here a day after it was posted, which was too late because of the good pay they were offering. I just got an email back saying they had overwhelming response from their ad. Another MT on here said she took the test. I know other companies do the same, but there are some that do not bother contacting you at all or allow you to take a test, knowing they already have enough applicants. ...

Who do you work for then? If every company is horrible.. what do you do? It seems there are no recommended companies anymore, not one. In that case, it would seem that maybe everyone should start looking for a new career, no? Im not being negative...or mean. I am just curious. Where do you go from here when the pay is low, or the company is horrible? When I first started doing MT work 10 years ago this site was plumishing. There were a few companies ...
Would You Stay With Your Company If They Started Sending Some Work Overseas?
May 11, 2012
My company has begun, one by one, sending accounts overseas. We only have one account left being typed by those of us in the US, and I imagine that one is going over there soon. They lie to us about where the work is going or tell us that there's just not a lot coming in. But MT's can go into each job typed and also see the amount of work coming in. It's obvious that the jobs are now being typed by people whose first language is not English. I'm ...
