ExText platform. Have they been running out of work and how much is VR and how much is typing? They are telling me 70% VR and the other 30% is typing. TIA!

I left there in December - sm

because they were always running out of work and I would go days without any work. I heard from a friend they are still having that problem. Also, their communication sucks. Good luck getting a response if you have even an urgent question or problem. Once I logged in and no jobs were available and when I emailed them I never did receive a response. They do not do IM so you have to rely on email, which they may answer when they get around to it, if even at all. It was my worst nightmare.

I worked for them for quite some time. After their merger, everything chnaged, sm - no for the good IMO

The work went down to nothing and the supervisor changed. The new supervisor is very busy and getting timely responses from here is not likey. I enjoyed working there for the time that I was there, but after having the sense that this company could care less about me as a transcriptionist and not having work on a regular basis, I moved on. Good luck.

I wouldn't waste my time with this company if I was you. The account you speak of will go dry very often as they hire a ton of people to get caught up when they fall behind and then let everyone fight for scraps. The poster above is also correct, when their merger happened the company went downhill, supervisors became very very slow at responding to questions and just didn't seem to care about the MTs. Oh and if you need tech support with the software on this account, good luck with getting anyone there that knows what they are doing, usually you are just told to reload your PC! If you give them a chance make sure you have a backup.

Does this company hire and then after a quarterly review have QA pick your work apart and then tell you they can either terminate your contract or cut your pay. Understand this has happened to more than one person. Has anyone experienced this. They told me I was doing awesome work, not they picked the work after and then tell me that in 2 weeks my contract will either be terminated or will have a reduced line rate. This makes no sense. I have 18 years experience.&nb ...

Any current info on either of these companies; pay, how the management treats MTs, enough work? Trying to make a decision.

Does anyone work for Archivus? For the last couple of weeks it's becoming quite a pattern for them telling us not to log on and work until they give the okay with no explanation except that it's per the facility, usually ending up missing one or more days of work. Not sure if they are running out of work or not. Anyone know? ...

...Okay, I'm not here to start a fight about union vs non-union, but I was just offered a non-MT job at a hospital that has a union, and I am anti-union. When she told me that it was a union position, my jaw dropped. She must have seen the look on my face, because she told me that since this is Florida, we don't HAVE to join the union or pay dues or anything like that. My face brightened up right away. SO, if you are not pro-union be SURE to ask if the state you live ...

Well after being in this business for almost 20 years, I have decided it's time to hang up the keyboard, as a single person I can no longer support myself as a medical transcriptionist. This is not even a good part-time job anymore. I have worked for more companies than I cared to admit, suffered through intolerable divas as team leads, gestapo QA, constant nip picking on where a comma goes, or a verb, and had my cpl reduced from what started out at 13 cpl to 0.0350 cpl.&n ...

I have 2 job offers from 2 different companies, but both of these companies are fairly large and have multiple posts with complaints that there is just not enough work for everyone. Would it be possible to take both offers, on the chance that if one doesn't have work the other will? I might be kinda screwed if they both have a lot of work, but it might be worth it to see how both will work out without closing any doors. Has anyone done this before? Is it possible to run 2 companies differen ...

Wow. I was just offered a job by MQ. I politely asked if the 'rumors' were true about being docked for sending reports to QA. I was informed that if you are supposed to do 6,000 lines a week and 300 lines total come to QA, then yes you would be docked 3 cents per line. If you are part-time with 4,000 line a week and 200 lines total came to QA, then you would be docked. I politely said that I would have to decline. BUT, if you feel that even QA canno ...

I have a job offer from Transolutions, but I have a couple of questions. I use Instant Text and I need to know if their platform is compatible with it. This would definitely be a dealbreaker for me. The opinions of the company I read on this board were not very favorable -- slow speech rec program, too much speech rec, etc. But all the opinions were at least 2 years old. Is there any more current information out there? The pay scale is very enticing, but if the ...
