In your experienced opinion, what is the best MT company to work for as an employee (I need benefits)? Thanks.

Cannot tell you it the "best" place to work since I have only been there a week (Transtech Medical) but it is certainly the best I have had in a long, long time. The benefits are really outstanding and reasonable in cost. They have 3 medical plans which the cost seems to be reasonable,vision, dental, life insurance (at no cost to you), 401K, internet reimbursement, PTO, and more. So far, the trainer I had was wonderful and they pay for 12 training hours, support tech team is great, QA people are really nice. They have a new account (2 hospitals with not a lot of ESLs and if there are ESLs they are pretty doable. It sounds as if they are still hiring but not sure. Like I said, I have only been there a week, but so far this company is the best I have had in a long while.

Thanks for your reply. I am glad you found such a great company to work for. I do not have 5 years experience though. Do you know if they ever hire new grads with only 3 months experience? Thanks.
Really have to watch out for TT. I was there and - sm

just when I started making really good money, they told me to slow down. I was not the only one come to find out.
this makes no sense - mt

If you make money, they make money. So there's more to this comment than you were making money. Perhaps you were making money and not following specs, making errors, or whatever, but no company in their right mind says "Oh no! She's making money, we must stop her." That's just utterly insane.
No matter what you think, that is what happened and I really - sm

and yours may not be measured in any way alike, so it's difficult to answer this question.
Oh and then there's that whole issue if you say something positive about a company, the naysayers will be ready to pounce, so I've given up sharing anything about any companies anymore.

It's a shame. This used to be a helpful resource for getting info on a potential employer. Now they are all horrible and anybody who thinks different must be a suit, a noob, or a traitor.
Same thing goes with if you say something negative - sm

as seen below. I try to tell people on here my experiences with companies and it never fails...if I had a negative experience, I get jumped on:(
If this isn't the right place to ask, please remove.
Is anyone familiar with a company called QED Transcription Service, Inc.? If so, what do you know about them?
Thank you. ...
Hey everyone, I know what you are going through. I worked for MQ for a very long time . I was tired of not making a paycheck. Try Etransplus. I work for them now and they are the most wonderful people. It is straight typing, no voice recognition AT ALL!! You can make up to 9-1/2 cents a line and they are not picky about how long you work. The benefits are not as good but they do have some. Try them out. It was the best move I had ever made. ...
Are there any good companies out there? Or should I give up in despair? Seriously, I would like to know who LIKES their employer -- let me hear from you! ...
the type like a stethoscope that go right into the ear that are plastic. I dont like the aluminum ones. Mine are just falling apart it seems. I also have a dictator that hardly talks into the phone and I cant get the volume up any higher than their system so that is also a problem. ...
Hi All: Been a CMT for a very, very long time and ready to get out of the business after losing thousands upon thousands these last few years. Can anyone recommended a great on-line, at-home place to learn coding and become certified. Can one be hired straight from a school these days?
Thanks :) ...
I hate my shift and would prefer a day shift. After getting the weekly "help on weekends" emails stating short-handed due to MT resignations, I thought......hmmmm....must be an opening on days somewhere. I've asked my TL who said she'd check. That was 2 weeks ago. ...
I made more money on UE than this job. How can I get fired? I try. I disappeared w/out notice for 2 weeks. No one said 1 word to me. I don't always work my shift. If i'm sick of it, I quit. I never work overtime. FIRE ME ALREADY. ...
The global MTSOs have ruined everything good about becoming an MT.
1. Flexible hours (our time, not theirs)- gone
2. Good pay/livable wage - gone
3. Unlimited income (lots of work, anytime) - gone
4. Self esteem - gone
Remember the good ol' days?
These metrics and the micro managing are for the birds. Give me a break.

Today I was informed that I will be set up with a peformance audit next week because my QA score "dropped to 97.6%." I have consistently maintained an average of 99% and now all of a sudden I'm down to this absymal number??? I've been getting crappy dictators lately, more than I ever did before. It's almost like they're trying to get rid of me. Yes, this company thrives on making its employees paranoid. I was going to turn in my retirement notice ...
Does anybone work as an MT for a place they like? I'm being technologized out of my current MT job and need to find a place quick. If you're working for a great place for at home work, could you please let me know? ...
We all got the email for mandatory OT...place your bets now on how long before we are getting NJA and there isnt work for some of us to do our regular daily scheduled hours, while others are doing OT! ...
I'm giddy! Finally found a medical transcription site worth exploring! Was recently TERMINATED (not laid off) after 24 years and have found mere handful of web sites legitimate, much less helpful as this one is! Now just hope the home office job I applied for wants me! ...
The patient returns and her s/l "continence/countinence" looks a little bit more flattened, but I get no cogwheel rigidity or crude bradykinesia. She just tells me she feels like she is going down the tubes though. ...
I laughed – until I realized it may not be a typo or Freudian slip, but what they actually think we are worth.
American MTSO, actual job ad.
Before you all go crazy -- I know! They were probably filling out a form field that asked for salary and only let them enter numbers – I am sure they mean 5 to 8 cents per line, and the field defaults to per year. I just needed a good laugh and thought some of you may too.

Any idea where the N-USB-1 or the IN-USB-2 foot pedal can be bought for the best price, and most importantly, delivered within a day or two? Thanks! ...
posted, or are my eyes just crossed from looking at this screen all day! It looks like they posted a job but don't say how to apply for it. Since over 500 people have looked at the ad and not mentioned this, am I missing something? ...
It's been so long since I've come across this that I don't remember how to do it. I just typed a letter with a cc, and now she added on an addendum. Where in the letter does it go? After the cc? Before the signature? Between the signature and cc?
Also, she said the date of the addendum. Where does that go? I recall writing "ADDENDUM" in all caps before the addendum, but how would I write "Addendum of August 1, 2012"?
TIA! ...
I was researching VR software/platforms, intending to start a biz of my own. I came across some reviews on Dragon on Amazon, and I couldn't resist:
"I am a speech recognition editor for various large hospitals, some with a million residents, and none of them train on SR. They just speak their usual gibberish as if they could care less about being duplicated by anyone (pity the poor patients) and it goes over to an editor at some transcription company who listens and fixes it.&n ...
