ROI DOESN'T PAY - Recent Employee
Posted: Jun 02, 2011
Rapid Outsourcing Imaging hired me to work the weekend graveyard shift. Their transcription platform does not refresh itself, and there is very little work. What work does come in has an almost immediate TAT, so you are expected to sit in front of your pc for a 10-hour graveyard shift constantly refreshing your screen to check for work. When work does come in and show up on your screen, it is already 7 minutes into the 20-minute TAT. I was making about $2 per hour. I breeched my contract and quit, so now they refuse to pay me the nearly $100 that they owe me. Now, they have posted my job with a 1.5/cpl pay increase as to what they were even paying me, a seasoned transcriptionist with 12 years under my belt. Just BEWARE!!!
Very sorry to hear... - MT
[ In Reply To ..]Thank you for letting everyone know. I think I applied to them once. I, too, have had experience with companies like this (MDSI and AllType being two of them), and I have 15 years of experience. No appreciation at all for the experience we bring to the position. I find it very, very sad that companies like these even exist. Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get away. Good luck!
ROI - OLDDOG
[ In Reply To ..]You stated right in your post that YOU breeched your contract. If you breech a contract you should not be paid. If you had a problem with their system why didn't you say something instead of just quitting. If I have been on an account with them that was slow or without work, I had no problems getting put on another account so I could stay busy. I actually know who you are because I work on that same account you are talking about and you did not bother to even show up and as a result put the account in jeopardy for me and the other MTs. We were told the volume would increase and sure enough it has significantly. I have worked for ROI for years and have never had an issue with being paid but that is because I actually show up and work when I say I am going to work. You would think that someone with 12 years of experience would know better.
Good for you. Thank you for posting this. I am tired of people complaining - about things that THEY cause.
[ In Reply To ..]I bet at least half, probably more, of the nasty posts on this board are for things that the poster causes themselves but blames the company they last worked for. I have seen people bash companies for being let go for poor quality, for not showing up for shifts and for excuse after excuse after excuse.
I don't work for ROI and honestly, I don't even know who they are, but I work for another company that alternates here as great and terrible.
Some people are just not cut out for transcription, no matter how long they have been doing it.

[ In Reply To ..]Honestly, I could care less if you know who I am or not because I did let someone know. And, the last time I checked, my contract didn't say anything about working for FREE!!!
I had a position with Peachtree working graveyard - And it was the same deal.
[ In Reply To ..]You had to check the system every 10 to 15 minutes looking for work, and it was hard to stay awake for the whole shift without work. The only good thing about it was they paid you a guaranteed minimum.
Oh, and the post from the person below - OUCH!!!! Sorry you got called out like that. That has to be embarrassing.

Up until now, was getting my primary or at least BOB accounts, I calculated carefully and figured out that while staying in my BOB, I could come under 5% most of the time.

I turned them in to the Labor Board. They were given a deadline to pay me, but it could take that Dept up to 6 months or longer to get my money. I thought...HMMM...I HAVE BILLS TODAY - NOT IN 6 MONTHS MAN! So...I filed unemployment against Saince. They did a pho ...

Transcend Really Doesn't Seem That Into Me
Dec 17, 2011
I've heard how great Transcend is so I applied, in addition to 8-10 other companies. I had heard such great things and such rave reviews from Transcend employees they were a company I wanted to hear back from most. Two weeks later still not a word, and I had already tested for most of the other companies and had been given offers. Because I was most interested in Transcend, I decided to write the recruiter using the email address I found on the website. Even after a ...

Let's sum it up briefly. MTtoCoding doesn't like us one bit. She also doesn't like being here. It causes her distress, just like her university and the instructor from her university did. We are all losers. Continued. We are bad, the MT board is bad also, her university is bad, the teacher is really, really bad, credentialed teachers stink, work experience is a bad idea for teachers to have, etc. She just dropped in to tell us about a great new coding course. When she didn&rs ...
It Doesn't Seem Like Anyone Is Learning
Mar 25, 2014
This is a two-sided message. It is painfully obvious that no one is learning anything from having failed audits. This being said, I think there are a few sides to this. First, the error weights are harsh for a lot of small errors. Second, the error weighs are not harsh enough for other errors. Third, and most importantly, no one seems to be taking the time to learn anything from the audits/feedback in order to improve themselves and their work, which leads me to what I would do if ...

Why Doesn't TTS Advertise On MT Stars?

Wow, what a joke! They are still calling it a great career! They are still saying you will be in demand and make 30,000 plus a year!

It's like being on-call....be available 24/7 because they * ...
