I get paid great money being an MT - sm
If you aren't happy with where you are, look elsewhere or get your own accounts. There IS money to be made; keep looking.
I make far more money on VR. I also get paid a good SM
line rate for it, so that helps. I am paid 7 cpl for VR.
Old posts had people not getting paid money due them when they decided to leave. nm

Agreed. Could not make any money there. Platform is horrid. I wouldnt matter if you were paid 18 cpl
if you couldnt get a good line count in.
I have warned and warned and warned
Where in the world have you been girlfriend. I have posted here on many occasion that there is often NO work at that place.
I have warned that if you rely on YOUR paycheck to pay bills, you had better look elsewhere.
There are many others who have posted the very same message. Since Geogie boy likes for folks to come straight to the source (his words) to get the truth, maybe you should give him a call.
Sten Tel is a joke. I am always leary of mid to large size MTSOs who do not offer statutory or employee status positions...ONLY IC. I should have listened to my little voice before I took a job there. They could give a rats (you know what) if you have work or not. If there isn't any work, there isn't any pay. Move on sweetie. You will be waiting until the cows come home.
be warned
They ding you for everything. From what I gather, the few editors they have are very inexperienced and they have an automatic grader that takes lines from you. The account specifics are very vague and often times do not match the examples given. For example, the example may show to do a report one way and if you do it that way, the Editor may mark it wrong and you lose lines. My first week, I lost 60.00 for the most minor of things and things I could verify in the BOS. Nobody will respond when you try to get verification. My check was short, nobody would respond to that either. I left after just 3 weeks. I would stay away from this bunch.
I personally would rather be warned of
a company's questionable business practices and stay away from them altogether than find out after I had been hired by them and got screwed out of my pay.
Dont you wish someone would have warned you?...
I have gotten a lot of grief for trying to warn people about what was happening to me and others and that it would soon be happening to a large majority of you. I think it is a duty that we should all have. Why would you let someone else go through something horrible if you could possibly stop it. I loved the "old" Transcend and its management--not too happy with the "new" Transcend or its management. However, that is my opinion. I see there are many others with the same opinion, and these number will continue to grow if Transcend does not wake up. I was a "Current Transcender" until now. I just can't do it anymore. I tried to fight the good fight and hold on to them (at least until I found something else better), but my children need to eat, and I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I can no longer be a Transcend cheerleader. I was a cheerleader in the past and referred other MTs to the company (all of whom left before I did), but it is just a really "bad" place to work as far as wages go. I have to do what is best for me now. I can't go bankrupt for Transcend. Thank God I had the wisdom to find another job to supplement early on in this "transition" process. If not, I would be homeless now. I certainly do not wake up every day with my only purpose being to bash Transcend. I had to be honest with myself and others or I couldn't sleep at night. I wish all of you the best and hope you and Transcend figure it all out before it is too late for you.
Firefox warned me not to go, too - nm

Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
Focus Infomatics- I was warned, have no one to blame but myself.
They are the most disorganized company I have ever tried working for. After signing you on, it takes 3 weeks to months before actually working. I was eventually emailed by team lead welcoming me to the company giving me the name of the account I was on, and that I would be pleased to know that it was a very GOOD account. They set up training, which was 25 minutes. Thank goodness it was a program I was familiar with. I was emailed the account specs, and sure enough it seemed to be a relatively good account. Then I had to wait 3 days before getting username and ID to get into system. After getting ID, ID did not work. After a week, I IM'd team lead asking if she knew when I would be up and running.. She says Oh you're not working yet, I'll call my supervisor. I get an email this morning from someone from Timbuktu asking to get into my computer to download another account. This particular account, I had heard about on the forum was a terrible account. After approximately 1 month of not being set up to work, I call it quits. They won't hear from me again until they call asking for their footpedal.
Take note of "hiring spree" - be warned you will soon run sm
out of work and be working 10 hours a day every day of the week to get work. Yes, I have multiple accounts and will run out of work in a few months. They always assume they will be getting these big accounts and when they don't we are the ones who struggle.
Don't say no one warned you. They are doing away with part-time MTs. Heard it directly from th
nm
I really hope you'd get an advanced warned before you noticed it on your check.
I think for one occurence you should receive a notice, emailed, so you receive it sooner stating that you were in jeopardy of losing your insurance if quotas are not met in a payperiod. To just cut someone's insurance with no notice and no opportunity to tell their side, to me, that would be harsh and cold. I mean if that is the case, then I would be upset. I have been there working for them 7 days a week and are in there helping whenever they ask for extra help. I usually take no days off. I understand big business but I also understand that what keeps you at a company is a return of the loyalty that you have shown them for years. I'm hoping for the best...
Amherst so we make less money and they get more money for MQ and bigger bonuses. Our guidelines came
from Amherst.
The company takes the money out of your salary, before they cut the check. It is your earned money,
:+
It's about "money, money, money, mmmoonnney. Singing The Apprentice song.

yep, gotta spend money to make money. NM
.
So does yours. Perhaps you need a basic money class to learn to keep money. sm
I am off today and appalled at reading the posts on here.
Are you always this bitter? Do you have a family and friends who are safe and healthy? Count your blessings instead of being so angry and you might see that this is not a bad field to be in. It has kept food on my table for 27 years and will continue to do so. Is it harder now? You bet, but it is not impossible to make a good living of $50,000. You just have to work hard, give it your all and appreciate the good companies that are out there.
If I were an MTSO, I would find out who all these people posting such bitter posts are and find replacements for them a.s.a.p. Negativity spreads like poison, and with the world in the state it is, we should bond together not make it worse.
Money is not the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is. nm

Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
you might be right on the money
If you think about it, they're sleazy and undermining enough to do something like that, cover their behinds. They better hurry up and drop the bomb, with the lack of work people are leaving. Come on MQ, screw us over already and get it done with.
money
I only made 7.6 cpl and that was clinic transcription (with 6 years experience at that). I was told there were no raises per se, but would be eligible for bonuses ($100) a time or two per year. That was earlier this year. I didn't stay with them long because more money came along.
If $184 for self only, that is a LOT of money.

Really, they just won't say where your money is at all? nm

More Money?
I thought I posted this a couple of days ago, but now that I'm looking for it, I don't see it. Anyway, I'd like opinions please. I've been working for a small MTSO for almost a year. I love the company and the work. When I first started working for them, they told me up front that they will only pay so much per line because they are a smaller company. I said that was fine. It was not a bad starting rate. Now that I've been with them for a little while, I feel like I would like to ask for an increased line rate. Is that wrong of me to do since they told me up front they will only pay so much?
No money
I've seen them put me on 7 different accounts Sat and today and put on bad dictators that just keep on coming. That is definitely cherrypicking. Just not making it with this company and have spent 6 months trying. Need to move on.
Not enough money
No kidding..it is really sad, seems that the faster I go, the less lines I have! I can' believe it. It is totally unsatisfactory to work so hard, sit for so long, to make peanuts.
Yep, right on the money
nm
Did you ever get your money from her?
I hope so.
Way too low...more money in MT - nm
x
Do you have your money though? That's SM
the question. If you do, great. If you've been told it's coming, then I guess I wouldn't consider the matter resolved until I had the money.
More money
I think I make more money working at home. I have never seen an on-site MT position that paid more than $18/hour and I make way beyond that. You probably have some stability working on site, but I wouldn't trade my flexibility for anything!!
NEVER put out money to get a job.
.
Yes she is, and for my money,
she's great!
How to get your money sm
Call the IRS on her and tell her you are really an employee. She will have to pay your SS for however long you worked there.... also for money owed, get a judgment against her and put a lien on what she owns.
They do not pay. They still owe me money! nm
nn
Not only did they take your money
for better conventions, they took (or helped facilitate to go) much of our work right out of the country to India and the Philippines.
