Is Lofin a good company - Trying to find a reputable company

Posted: Apr 17, 2012

Offered an IC position with IntelliType. Don't know anyone who has worked for them. Any comments?

In the past, they definitely blurred the definition of IC. They made it a habit of calling often and at all times of the day asking you to work; however, even on a very large acute care account there would be a constant lack of work. It appears that the latest pay offer has been lowered again.

I left the company when they lost accounts and the promises of work never materialized. Plus I got tired of a couple of bullies in the middle management level.

Their contract is extensive and intimidating, to say the least. In hindsight, I personally would never sign something of this magnitude again.

Of course, "your miles may vary."

Good luck.

I worked for them in the past... - ll

when the owner was very hands on. I don't know if that is still the case. As an IC, agree with the above. I would receive phone calls at 11:00 p.m. at night at least once a week from the owner begging me to do work that was going out of turnaround time; this after having worked a full day.

I had to pay for use of equipment to the tune of $150/month.

When I first started the owner refused to have a PRD or shorthand system installed on my computer because as he personally told me one of the other transcriptionists had made an error with this system that had cost him, so no more PRD for anyone. This went on for about a year until I had occasion to call their tech guys about a separate issue and the tech guy noticed I didn't have PRD, expressed surprise, and installed it immediately. So, apparently that was just a whim of the owner on the unfortunate day that he installed my computer.

They lost accounts and instead of providing new accounts left me twisting in the wind for 2-3 weeks at a time, even with daily phone calls from me.

I felt used and abused and am embarrassed to say I worked for them for several years.

One good thing I can say is that they paid on time, correctly, each and every time.

Agreed - Just me

I also worked for them for a few years until about 2 years ago. It was a great place til the accounts manager left and then the owner turned the company over to a very uncooperative "overseer" ?. No more tech help, accounts were lost with no prior notice, and no communication. You weren't allowed to communicate with other transcriptionists. Became a very odd place. Hopefully that has changed.

KS seems to be getting lower and lower in the popularity with emplooyees test. I worked for them once but left for the reasons everyone is talking about. There was no communication. The owner was never truthful and everyone is afraid of her because of her horrible temper tantrums. The accounts are overstaffed - you might get put on another account but it will be overstaffed too. The only accounts that are not overstaffed are the terrible ones that no one wants to work on and it is imp ...

I am currently working at a hospital as a Lab Assistant in Pathology. My job has many different responsibilities, but majority is transcription – which I love! I am trying to decide if I want to try becoming an at home medical transcriptionist. This is a huge decision/risk for me as I have been in my current position since 1999. I used to love my job, but as the years have passed, I have found myself disgusted to go to work. This is due to changes in personnel and too many people not ...

I've been with TransTech for about 2 years, but I'm going to back to working with people now that I'm not having to deal with military moves anymore. I thought I'd pass along to the job hunters that TransTech is a good place- they pay on time, have a good work load consistently, and not too much ESL. It's not for you if you don't want to commit to 40 hours or work a few holidays, but it's an honest gig that you can make a living with. ...

I don't see much in the archives within the last year on them. I know someone who just started with them and really likes it.
