I got caught in a new job awhile back
that went dry for months and it really hurt me financially. Loved the job, loved the people but was on the brink of bankruptcy. My advice would be to keep the sure thing in these economic times. Good luck to you whatever you do.
I worked for them PT awhile back -- 20 hours a week min., I think. nm
Awhile back, someone posted about a company that considered sm
30 hours a week to be FT with benefits. Does anyone remember the name of that company?
Thanks so much.
Ugh .. that's not good news. They offered me a position awhile back sm
but I went somewhere else. Now they sent me a thing again, listing their benefits,and it sounded pretty nice. I guess there is no such thing as the perfect job. 
I know they have been hiring on that account awhile so there is probably work. But,
I did refer a friend and they put her on that program to which she did not stay long and was very unhappy with her line count. She said it was a third of what she normally made so she quit. Honestly, I have never worked on that platform so I am not sure if she had a valid complaint or not or what else she was comparing it to. I say if the work is there, which I would think if they are offering a bonus, I would try it out and see if it works for you. It sounds like with your experience you would know the difference in line counts.
Yes! My account had about 50% ESLs. nm

Can anyone tell me what the Webmedx account is that is 40% ESLs? sm
I am considering working for them and would like to know the ease of the platform, flexibility of the supervisors, work load, and benefits. Thanks to anyone who can provide me with this information. I looked in archives, but everything is so iffy and not really clear to me. 
number of ESLs depends on account, some not many, some a lot
x
with KS make sure you know the platform/account/equipment/ESLs;
nm
Axolotl has nearly all this except shifts are Tu-Sat and Sun-Th, and ESLs vary by account. NM

The account I am working has a normal amount of ESLs but nothing awful.
I think anywhere you work these days you're going to get some but I have just had the usual amount here.
I tried that account a while back...
when they first started hiring for this account. Tons of ESL dictators with heavy accents. Yes, I think it was an MQ account. I probably should have stuck with it, but I had a very difficult understanding the dictators. That is why they are offering so much for doing this account!
PLenty of work here. And I only have 1 account, no back up.
Have asked several times for a back up account.
I'm still waiting....
Gave up nearly 60K as account manager with QA, etc., to get my life back.
I now make around 35K as an MT and am MUCH happier. I work around 5 hours a day as opposed to 10 or more, plus part of a day every single weekend in addition to that 10 per day M-F. I actually have free time now. Always working left me burned out and unable to enjoy all that money was doing for me.
Hate the day after a holiday for work -- seems like it takes forever to get my account back up to
speed and getting work available. Oh, well, I'm just venting this morning because I don't have any work and guess I should be cleaning house instead of sitting on here being frustrated about it. Have a good one!
Thanks. Yes I heard from others many ESLs and many very difficult ESLs. nm

TRX, Portland and New York
Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Searched the archives and found nothing helpful.
New York location
I don't know about the other, but the one in New York has a very nasty attitude when it comes to transcribing foreign languages.
I'm near the border of New York
What part are you in?
If you can live in New York for 45K
a year, you are a better man than I, gunga din.
They were pulled into Warminster and some may now be in New York.

Superior Transcription Co, New York
Does anyone know anything about this company? I tried to download their instruction files, and when I double click on the installation file like the directions say, it just brings up a page of symbols. There's got to be another way.
The lady wanted me to start right away today, and sent me all the things I have to download (Voice Scribe), then it was late in the day and I didn't get it all downloaded by the time she left at 4:45 PM. Now I'm not sure if I can do this. I can't call her back until Monday.

anyone have any experience with this company? QA seems rude and they seem to nitpick every comma and I am not sure how long I will last on that job. Would appreciate any info.

I did well on my tests, but was told after 30 days of being with them I would have to pay $600 for their platform, payable at $25 a week. Did you have to pay this? The only contact I had was with Rosanne.

I did for awhile
They pay by the page and when you break it down, it's about 5 cents a line.
No, it was awhile ago.
She called one day to set up an interview for the next. She never called. I sat and waited figuring she got busy and would be a little late, but nope.
Need opinions. I am part of the Northeast region of MQ or New York and we have been told that they
 want to keep all the accounts so I assume that means all the NE Region within one hour of being out of work and out of work every night or caught up. Now I ask you where does this leave the MTs. I am speaking of acute care accounts with TAT of 12, 24 and 48 hours. Our offifce accounts are already complaining of poor quality work coming back to them because of just everyone being thrown into them to get the work done so I guess to accomplish this ridiculous obssessive 1 hour complete work situtation they will lose accounts and quite obviously MTs as running that close to complete in my option will run us continuously out of work into backups and of course then we are watched for how much of our work goes to QA etc. Does this seem like a no win situation. ASR has picked over all the accounts already also on DQS. I can see looking around very soon depending on how this situation plays out. Is this idea crazy or is it normal.
We keep getting these ridiculous bulletins carbon copies to everyone in New York MQ it seems telling
us how far off this TAT we are. I think they should stick their 1 hour TAT where the light doesnt shine. The only time the TAT for 1 hour percentage is right is when there is no work. I think MQ needs to be looking for some new managers or soon that is all there will be left, all managers no workers to pay their freaking salaries.
It depends how fast they are growing. I worked for a company in New York that sm
had 5 new accounts start, 1 a month for 5 months, that were all very large and needed 20+ MTs. They are now a larger company and do not constantly need new MTs, but I think it is unfair to judge a company by how many people it is hiring. I think it would be interested to find out how many are new positions and how many are due to MTs leaving and why they left.
I do, I've been with them for awhile.

OK, since you've been there awhile.
I'll give you that one - maybe I just haven't given it enough time. I've just had a LOT of trouble lately with technical issues, and that, in combination with learning new docs, can be a challenge. So, I guess they need to be given a chance. At least one thing is good - I'm busy as I could possibly want to be with them ... let's just hope it stays that way!
I quit my job awhile ago and am still SM
waiting for last check. I've been informed that I have to wait until normal direct deposit day like everyone else. I didn't argue with this person (figured it'd be a waste of my time), but aren't they supposed to--by law--pay you within 1 business day if you give them at least 3 days' notice? I gave them 2 weeks' notice.
This happened to me a couple other times as well (with other MT companies). I wonder why they think they don't have to obey the law??
Oh well, that's life! I'm just glad I'm outta there! :)
Just Me
I worked for them as an IC for quite awhile
none of us ICs on the account I was on could log in. They just wiped us all out. Now, I know that's life as an IC, but not really - we sign a contract agreeing to work for them. They are supposed to give us notice or we are supposed to give them notice to terminate the contract. They didn't follow their end - pretty sad. I tried e-mailing and calling, no one would answer. Now, they're posting for a southern CA account with no ICs??? I think almost all of us that worked that account for them were ICs. Just got trained as an Editor - for nothing. Pitiful excuse for a company.
Thanks ... it will be awhile before I go to Vista anyway. nm

OK, everybody calm down. Anybody can have an off day once in awhile.

He left quite awhile ago...
Didn't sell it, just is heading up another offshore type company.
Work for awhile
I work for Medware and unless they lose their biggest account there will still be work here. Who knows though. It was a great company to work for!
not that I know of; employed there awhile.

Anyone know any info on Silent Type out of New York? I don't know how to find in archives. Thnx

As a recruiter, I'd hire an Andrews grad in a New York minute. You're doing a great job of se
They are properly trained. They are ready and able to work from day #1.
Wouldn't YOU like to have training that made you a hot commodity the minute you graduate? Maybe you should go back to school so you can be an arrogant MT and not be penalized because you aren't cutting it.
As a famous model once said Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Ochsner New Orleans was down for awhile..
they are coming in again. Ochsner Baton Rouge stayed up and running.
I haven't worked there in awhile but sm
It was a definite trade-off. The pay was just not good at all. However, on the plus side, they were good to work with and they assigned accounts that weren't bad. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay at that $$ and had to move on. You will have to weigh how much $$ you need, but I was nowhere near 9 or 10 cpl with over 10 yrs experience.
I did, but it has been awhile. The quality of the work was
horrendous and it would have been easier to retype reports than to correct them. The MTs kept making the same mistakes over and over again. They also had some accounts that ESL didn't come close to describing them. I am very good with ESL and routinely transcribe 85-90% ESLs, but these were some of the worst I've every come across, plus the sound quality was pitiful.
If you open your original post and towards the bottom click on related posts you'll find lots of info about SS as a company, that would be enough to help you decide if you want to work there at all.
Could you share your line rate? And keep you old job for awhile.
Sounds like you had better keep your old job until you see how much work you will get on DQS and how much you can make. It probably will be slow at first.
I worked there for awhile, couldn't make any sm
decent money. They changed their QA and guidelines and I made even less due to extra proofing, looking up in their Style book and the BOS which oftentimes conflicted. Their spellchecker was full of misspelled words. Drugs were way outdated. Couldn't use my own word expander. Took about three weeks to get feedback sheets and sample reports. Wasn't worth it. I figured if I had to produce a superbly quality document, I would go elsewhere for more money.
