Posted: Nov 29, 2014

Would like to know what companies some of you are at that are happy? Would appreciate any advice.

working for 2 that I am happy with - nn

Working for 2. Happy because both are straight typing. Happy because one pays weekly and the other pays every other week. IC status and no set hours. Also, PLENTY of work on both.

What is good for one person, may not be good for another person.

may I ask which companies? - lm

United Transcription and New England Medical Transcription, both of whom have had recent ads on various sites. However, I believe their positions have been filled.

Are there any other that you would recommend? - lm

Are there any other that you would recommend?
thank you!

No, because there are a number of factors that would come into play - nn

I really can't as I have NO clue what your background or level of experience is. Both of the companies that I work for are acute care facilities. If you have only ever done clinic work, then it would be hard for you to possibly test with these companies. Again, what might be a wonderful fit for someone, might not be a wonderful fit for someone else.

Unfortunately now, you just have to learn by "trial and error."

Maybe - try...

TransPortal and NEMT. They are both mainly independent contracting positions, but well-established and I've never heard anyone complain about not being paid on time. Also, they are seldom mentioned here.

Keep in mind that there will always be someone who has had an unpleasant experience, but that does not mean that yours will be the same. As long as the complaint does not involve not getting paid, then it would be worth considering.

There are a couple of others I cant think of off the top of my head, but had I not been working would have given them a shot. Also Patient First comes to mind, but they are not a company, they are a string of multispecialty ambulatory care facilities who hire their own MTs. It can be hard to pass their testing, but they are a good place to work for with great benefits and you choose your own schedule and they are all straight typing.

NEMT - anon

They just ran an ad on another site about a month or so ago, and I believe those positions have been filled. They are also starting to transition into VR.

It would be worth a shot to apply in case someone didn't work out. - nm

Did it ever occur to you that they would probably draw from other candidates? - anon

Did it ever occur to you that they would probably contact other candidates, whom had previously submitted resumes and invite them to test? I was invited to test by the company after submitting my resume and had to pass both the written test and the typing portion of the test. If someone "didn't work out," they would more than likely hire someone whose resume was already on file with them and not run another ad. They generally advertise MAYBE 2 times a year and seem to advertise only if they have a new account coming on board.

I'm sure it "occurred" to that poster. - What a strange thing

[ In Reply To ..]
to say. It doesn't mean that they ABSOLUTELY will. Why would you discourage MTs from sending in a resume if they want to??

2 companies here also - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
For anonymity reason I don't believe in stating names unless it's a company already being talked about.

One FT employee status doing VR and one PT, IC status doing straight typing. The FT is for one of the well-known companies, hardly ever mentioned on MT Stars. And my PT, IC company is *never* mentioned here. My IC company is small though and I actually lucked up on it because they don't advertise which I guess is why the work is fairly plentiful, but we do a good job keeping it within turn-around-time.

2 companies - anon

well congratulations to you....... why mention if you are not willing to share info

I can't help but notice that both posters who are happy - have to to work 2 jobs

[ In Reply To ..]
I honestly couldn't say I'd be "happy" if I had to work 2 jobs just to make ends meet. I've been in the business 20+ years and it's only been in the last 5-6 years that I've seen so many people having to work 2 jobs just to get enough work. Sad what the MT world has become.

People in various lines of work besides MT - work 2 jobs. SM

Not too long ago I worked for a multispecialty clinic as a medical assistant after leaving MM and picked up my part-time IC job. I knew of about 4 other girls who worked 2 jobs while working there. One girl works in the lab and also works part-time at a grocery store, another medical assistant who happens to be a close friend of mine works part-time at the Dollar Tree, and one of the girls worked at a pizza place part-time. We all worked in various departments, varying years of service to the network, so obviously had different rates of pay.

It is not unusual for people to work more than one job. I would rather work more than one and be comfortable, then struggle and feel sorry for myself and not be doing anything about it. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

That's exactly what I mean, - as you said

[ In Reply To ..]
You have to work 2 jobs, to be "comfortable" and not "struggle". Nobody works 2 jobs because they love it (especially if they have a family or others they want to spend time with), they do it because they need the pay. I don't quite know why you're defending it as a good thing. It was NOT common for an MT (I started in the '80s) to have to work 2 jobs just to make ends meet. Now fast forward and the people who are happy with their companies can't even work for just one, they have to work for two to bring home a dependable paycheck. I'm not saying anything negative about MTs who have do this, I'm making the observation that this career has deteriorated to a point where the only people 'happy' so far on this post have to work 2 jobs.

I was one thar originally mentioned working 2 jobs and being happy - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Even though both of my jobs have plenty of work right now, there could come a time when one of those 2 jobs is very slow. I am my sole support and have no one else to rely on, so yes, I want to make sure that I have some way of making sure my bills are paid.

Of course. I understand completely the necessity - of working 2 jobs in this MT day and age

[ In Reply To ..]
To reiterate, I'm not saying anything negative about MTs who have do this, I'm making the observation that this career has deteriorated to a point where the only people 'happy' so far on this post have to work 2 jobs.

The thread that sparked this one on the main board had happy MTs - working 1 job.

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't know what the big deal is whether you work 1 job or 10, who cares as long as you're happy and it works for you.

Umm. This IS the same thread. It was moved from the Main Board - to the Company board.

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't know why you would make up the fact that there were "happy MTs working 1 job" that had posted on this thread, but that is not true. I'm sure they exist, but my point was not one has posted (yet).

To explain this thread to you more clearly: OP asked "what companies some of you are at that are happy". One person responded basically that they were happy, had 2 jobs, but they would not answer/share the names of the companies. Another MT responded they were happy, also working 2 jobs, and answered the poster with their companies.

I simply made an observation that, wow, only 2 MTs thus far have responded they were happy and both have to work 2 jobs. Argue all you want, it's a fact, worth mentioning, and I've simply commented on it.

MAKE IT UP?! There is a thread on the main board called "I LOVE MY JOB" - did this thread NOT stem from that?..sm

[ In Reply To ..]
What would be the point in me making that up? You know exactly what I am talking about. Before this thread was moved to the company board, it was posted RIGHT ABOVE THE "I LOVE MY JOB THREAD."

One person in particular states she worked for Nuance and never mentioned working a second job, as a matter of fact, there were others who commented who only worked 1 job. Go back and read the thread. I am not arguing with you, you seem fixated on the fact that nobody can be happy doing this job since you obviously are going through a tough time or having a bad experience.

News Flash - Your experience does not speak for everyone else. Why it's so hard for you to believe that a person could be happy is beyond me. And for the record, I don't slave over 2 jobs. I may work two days a week at my part-time job and that's really not a lot to ask, so its not like its killing me. Granted I can do more and no restrictions are placed on me, but I choose to stick with the minimum so I don't get burnt out.

I am also married and my husband makes reasonable money, but we have bills and I dont mind working extra, especially if it does not require me to get dressed and leave the house and I can do it at my leisure. Why wouldn't I be happy.

You need to go back and re-read the "I love my job thread." and no, I am not the author of the thread, just an observer. I didn't even comment on that one, only this one.

LOL. Now you are shouting? - Reading Comprehension 101

[ In Reply To ..]
I was talking about this thread, the one I commented on, and the one you commented on, which is why my responses are referencing THIS topic. Why would I be referring to some other thread I hadn't posted on (or read)? There are two separate threads, two separate OPs, two separate topics. Hint: That is why that one is still on the Main Board and this has been moved.

You need to take a deep breath and, again, stop making things up. The OP (lm) asked a question. I made an observation on the responses, and you suddenly declare that I'm "going through a tough time or having a bad experience", and that I "can't believe that a person could be happy". I never said any of those things. I never said you or anyone "slaved" over their jobs You're having your own conversation in your head since I never posted anything remotely close to that. Crazy.

Reading Comprehension lesson: AGAIN, to repeat, this is what I said (here on THIS thread where the OP (lm) asked about recommendations for the names of companies where people are happy) "I'm not saying anything negative about MTs who have do this, I'm making the observation that this career has deteriorated to a point where the only people 'happy' so far on this post have to work 2 jobs."

I'm happy in my present position and certainly not going through a "tough time" or "bad experience" and never said anything other than the above posts. It is so bizarre that you made that up. If you are going to get strangely worked up over those few sentences enough to invent things about me in your head - well I'm done responding. I only talk to rational people.

Now see, there you go again telling me I am making things up - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Yes, I got worked up because I hate being called a liar since lying is something I totally despise.

Again, you know full well what I am talking about. Your thread was moved to the company board because you were curious what company the *happy* MTs worked for; THATS HOW YOUR THREAD ENDED UP OVER HERE.

I don't think its rocket science that this thread was in direct reference to the one posted on the main board, which I referred to in my previous post where you accused me of "making things up."

You found it hard to believe that anyone could be happy so you decided to post a thread asking what companies the happy MTs work for. When you received responses from those working 2 jobs, you preceded to question how they could be happy working more than 1 job and tried to debunk them on the sly. Sounds to me like the only one unhappy here is you. Otherwise why waste so much time and energy questioning other peoples happiness and trying to point out reasons why they shouldn't be happy?

Now you are twisting things and telling me I am "making things up." You sound like a real piece of work. Yeah, I guess I did get heated, but done wasting my time now since I would be no better than you to keep going with this nonsense.

The original poster is "lm". You are confused and not making sense (nm) - anon

These type of posts puzzle me. What does a person being happy at a company have to do with giving advice? That's not the way to look for a job, is it?
