"Typist will be required to complete 2 hours of unpaid audio as probationary period."  Has anyone else ever heard of something like this?

That's a major crock. I wouldn't do that unless I were desperate. - Lost

Wonder how many make it past the "probationary period" - Work4Free

My guess is not many, if any.

Too good to be true - Old Pro

I have not heard of this, but I suspect they are using free help to get their work done. I would be very wary of anyone who referred to TRANSCRIPTIONISTS as "typists." They surely do not sound very professional to me. Be careful.

in essance, YOU are paying THEM to work. don't. - its a crock

Good question - What were the pros and perks?

Inquiring minds want to know!

New twist on an old scam - to get work done free

Guess they think they're in PT Barnum-ville.

That is scummy! - PT

That is so completely disgusting. To use hopeful "job candidates" for free labor is lower than low.

They legally cannot do that. I would turn them into the wage and hour division of the state that they do business in.

Read So Many Good Things About Opti-Script
Jan 07, 2010

I have read so many good things about Opti-Script - tested recently but no openings right now.  Low turnover rate - which is GOOD!  So I'll wait.....So many slave shop companies out there - I don't want to go that route. Talked with some companies and tested with some.   BTW, one gripe I have - testing for a company - and knowing you did well, but absolutely NO REPLY!!!  Any reputable MT company needs to know this - When an MT applies and tests, THEY ARE WAITING ON A RESPONSE AB ...

Read Ad And Sad, Really Sad. This Is About Transcription Company Posting But Could Be On The Comedy

I noticed here a person asking how to get a job in this occupation and they listed where they had finished school. It was online so thought I would take a look. The ad said most finished in 4-6 months and you might have to go even less time if you are a CNP or the like. Get this, said transcription unusual in that many companies provide FULL benefits including paid vacations, sick leave, health insurance, retirement fundus and sign on bonuses for-  dahdah  INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. ...

CONSULTANT:  Yeah, I can see that, but I still want the audit pushed through.  If there is any way we can cut back on expenses (salary, budget, personnel), do it.

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 have over 20 years experience and I am not eager to jump from job to job, but it seems there are so many company's out there that are really, really bad.  Any input would be wonderful, I would like to find either PT or FT with my experience being mostly clinic setting but strong oncology, OB/GYN, urology, or ...

Good Company With Benefits For New MT

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 ...


TransTech- Good Company
Nov 19, 2013

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. ...
