I'm thinking about applying to Terra Nova for more than one reason and I was wondering what it is like. Good... bad? What is the pay rate? Minimum line count? Do they treat you decently? How are the dictators? I searched the archives and didn't see much information on them. I'd love to hear more about them before I apply. Thank you! :o)

Anyone work for Terra Nova

located in Canada, I think. I did a search and came up with some reviews, most older, a few more recent, but just wondered if anyone here currently working there who could give me the scoop on platform, ease of demographics, pay estimate, management style, etc.? anything welcome, good or bad... Do they accept only full-time employee or will they take IC part time? TIA

Has anyone ever heard of Terra Nova Transcription or work there.

Terra Nova
Does anyone work for Terra Nova out of Canada? Any information good or bad is appreciated. Thanks.

Terra Nova
Run as fast as you can.....

Terra Nova
They do pay in US dollars, but it does take a while to get it

Terra Nova
If you are asking me why I answer this way is because I worked for them and what I am saying has been MY experience with them. I can't speak for anyone else who worked for them, but can speak for what I know.

Terra Nova - sm
On the other hand, I worked for them and found them to be a reputable company. I always got paid on time. I got paid in Canadian $$ but I am Canadian so its all good. I always had a lot of work. Things may have changed since then, of course.

Terra Nova
I found them to be a reputable company to work for. I certainly haven't had any problems. I know they have lots or work.

Terra Nova
After working with this company for quite some time I am surprised by your comment. I would have to question if your criticism is legitimate or if the quality of your work is the issue.

Terra Nova?
Hi, does anyone know anything about this company. They are offering paid by the minute transcribing. THANKS

Terra Nova???
Does anyone have experience with Terra Nova?? Anyone know anything about the company??? I looked in the archives and couldn't find much recent. Would love to hear from you!!!!!

Terra Nova

Anyone recently hired and working on the cardiology account at Terra Nova as a full-time employee?

Terra Nova
They just recently hired me but I have not started work yet. Do you like working for them? I have never been an IC before and I am kind of nervous about it. Any advice you can give me?

Terra Nova
I know other people have posted asking about this company but I have not seen any responses. Does anyone out there work for Terra Nova?? I am looking for any feedback on this company! Thanks!

Terra Nova
I have been hired also but have not started working yet. I am waiting on my foot pedal to arrive.

terra nova
Did you accept the editing position with them? If so, are you happy? Do they pay hourly or by the line?

TERRA NOVA

Terra Nova out of Alabama. Any opinions. Anyone work there? Thank you.

Terra Nova

Does anybody have any recent information about this place?

Terra Nova

I was going to apply before I saw that they require XP Pro which I don't have.

Terra Nova???
Has anyone dealt with them? They emailed me and I sent my resume. Then they asked me to fill out a questionnaire and they would send on testing information. Then I don't hear anything at all for almost a day and a half and when I ask about it the first time this morning, no response. So I emailed again curious as to why now the recruiter, who promptly emailed me back before, isn't emailing me now. Then I get this curt email about how the hiring process has ended, which I find strange since I had just gotten an email about how they liked my resume and if I will fill out the questionnaire, they will get me testing information. Does that seem strange to anyone else?

Terra Nova, same here
I took the test and a week went by with no answer. I finally emailed the recruiter to ask my scores,and she said my scores were average, but that I was on the pile to be called when hiring begins again. PLEASE!!!

ANY ONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TERRA NOVA
JUST HEARD ABOUT THIS COMPANY AND WONDERED IF ANYONE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM GOOD OR BAD. WHAT WORK PLATFORM DO THEY USE. TEXT OR SPEECH. PAY RATES??

Does Terra Nova have VR
I have been thinking about checking out Terra Nova and was wondering if they have VR. If so, can anyone tell me what platform they use and what they pay per line. Thank You.

Terra Nova
I worked there for a time. The pay was on time and offered direct deposit. They do about 90% VR work now, however.

TERRA NOVA..... anyone have info? nm

I too have applied with Terra Nova

Have you found any info you would like to share?

Unless you are Terra Nova management.

Terra Nova Transcription? HELP!

Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen,

I heard Terra Nova Transcription are hiring a bunch of new MT's so, I put in my resume. I did the test files and they came back with a really good offer. Has anyone heard of Terra Nova Transcription, and if so, can you please give me any feedback? I'd like to hear some opinions before I make my decision. I believe their company is based somewhere in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada.

Thank-you,

Helen

How to apply to Terra Nova

Hello June ( I don't know what happened to your post, it is no longer there),

I applied by sending my resume to information@terranovatrans.com. I then got a response from one of their HR staff. I do have some good news though, I was speaking to a friend of mine (who is also an MT) who knows somebody that works at Terra Nova and they love it there. So, I think I'm going to accept the offer!

Is there any more feedback?

terra nova testing - sm
Granted, it was a while ago, but they gave me an extremely difficult test, the voice file was awful and it was a very hard procedure (I've been an MT for 29 years). I had to leave a few blanks. I don't know if they have changed their testing since then.
Good luck.

Terra Nova Transcription
Does anyone have any information on this company?

Terra Nova nightmare....
Hi - I used to work for terra nova - bad experience for me - they started out really good, paid on time, etc, but when they switched over to the platform they work on now, they started messin up my money, when I did my line count for the pay period, it was never what they said it was - in the beginning, the line count feature on that platform was not accurate. When I checked my counts against their count, I was getting paid for work from the previous pay period?!?!? It was just crazy and when I spoke up about it all I got was BIG attitude from the owner - can't even remember her name right off....I'd run the other way if I were you....that's just my experience though, maybe they've improved since then...my thing is (with any company) DON'T MESS WITH ME MONEY!!!!

Terra Nova?? Oracle??
Anyone have anything on them?? Anything at all??

I interviewed with Terra Nova
Actually they offered me the job before seeing my resume. Sent me samples and a foot pedal. I was friends with their IT person (he was at my old company) and he told them about my work. The lady's name was Maria Thomas I think and she was VERY NICE. They are in Canada, small growing company that does not outsource. I was making very good money at my old company at the time and I was loyal. Had been there 9 years. Sure enough, my account was sent offshore and I was moved around until I got laid off. Terra Nova pays by the minute of dictation. She started off with a low figure, can't remember exactly what it was. As I was hesitating to quit my job, she kept uping the pay to I think $1.30 to $1.35 a minute. They did do employee status at the time, but they did not have a group insurance plan. They reimbursed you for your own plan. Hindsight is 20/20, but I am happy where I am now. If not, I would not hesitate to apply there again.

All Type?? K&R?? Terra Nova??
Ok..for now I have limited by list to 3 companies that I want to apply to. However, before I apply I was hoping that someone that works for these companies could answer some questions for me. What platform do they use?? Do you have flexibility with your hours?? Do they use VR?? Any other information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any info on Terra Nova in Canada?? TIA

Any current info on Terra Nova? sm

I am just wondering if anyone has any recent experience with Terra Nova Transcription company. I searched archives, but not much there. I am interested in an editing position. Does anyone know if they pay hourly (if so, any idea how much) or if they pay production (again, starting line rate)? I would like to hear from any current Terra Nova MTs or editors before applying, as I just hate when you go through the entire process only to find out the pay stinks. A lot of recruiters are not willing to give you any pay information up front without seeing skills (which I somewhat understand), but still hate to waste their time or mine! Thank you so much in advance! I would really appreciate it!

unless you are Terra Nova management what? I don't understand
your post. By the way, don't put NM if you have a message. nm means no message. thanks

Terra Nova is hiring Canadian now!
Terra Nova is really growing, and we have a need for Canadian MTs and QA. Please email me for information.

Terra Nova is located in Canada....

How hard would you rate Terra Nova Testing?
Some companies are a breeze to test with and others pick the hardest to type. Can anyone tell me how Terra Nova is? I also notice some companies like you to type up to 5 reports and multiple choice/fill-in the blank tests. I would like to know what to expect. Thanx.

Any info on Candian Co Terra Nova would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

tera nova transcription? Good, bad? Mixed reviews. nm

As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.

I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.

My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m
n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
