It's less an American co with branch in India, than an Indian
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They are Indian owned
Do a search on the Company Board. Many negatives and they are based on India. Can they even post job ads on this board?
They are Indian owned and run.

Indian owned and run....
It is being overtaken by Indians....used to be a great company - not anymore. Many have left there lately.
They'll just use you to make the Indians' work smell good to the US based clients then kick you to the curb. I wouldn't go there if my life depended on it now!
This is an Indian-owned and run company and they do
outsource. From what I've heard pay is also on the low side.
100% indian owned and run...you can find better..NM

DTS NO WORK - INDIAN OWNED
I am in the same boat with DTS, no work for at least 3 hours of my shift, and I REFUSE to chase work when I am not scheduled and have to work 24/7 to get work, that's what these companies want us to do so they don't have to pay us overtime. If you are scheduled to work a shift, and are an employee not an IC, and you are at your desk during those hours legally they are requiredf to pay you because you are ready, and available to work as scheduled. And if you have to work outside of your shifts, they have to pay you overtime if you work over 40 hours, which DTS does.
I work for DTS and have a great account manager, and I am on 4 accounts, but what DTS does is if they see work on the system, regardless of whether it's out of TAT or not their policy is to call in the troops to clear off the system no matter if you are working on YOUR shift tying to get you lines or not, they FRANKLY DO NOT CARE!
It's also a MYSTERY who owns this company, and with mysteries like this, that smells like an Indian company owns this company and they just do not want to own up to it because they know how most of us feel about the Indians and other offshores. I can't pay my mortgage or my internet this month, and I am tried of calling my creditors and telling them that I work for a company that has DTS AMERICA in back of their name but is most likely Indian owned. They have an Indian IT Department that you cannot understand (what's new) that can hardly speak English and when you call them, all they do is just repeat what you told them! I finally told my AM to tell them NOT TO CALL ME because (1) you can't understand them. (2) they are beyond rude.
I WILL not work for a company that offshores, and so far I have found 2 that do not, one that has been in business a while and is looking for good MTs for a new account Southern Transcription and another one that is looking for clinic MTs for a new account neither are voice or have any presence offshore. The second is eTransportal, and that owner was EXTREMELY nice, test very easy. The test for Southern is a PITA by Horizon, but they are a GREAT company according to all posts. I have been offered a position with both companies and will probably work for both and decide which one is for me. We all should be compensated for changing companies and learning all these new accounts and software platforms! That's another thing about these companies imagine how much money they make not having to house us inhouse. They require all this equipment, internet, more and more state of the art computers, but yet out pay is still in the dark ages... I know of NO PROFESSION where the pay has gone down and not up! I am making less than what I made working in the broom closet in a hospital transcribing radiology reports 15 years ago than I am now! That's just too sad..........if I could I'd leave this profession but I am not in a position to do so. Why anyone would pay thousands of dollars for training and those schools that are just a scam, I have not idea, what to make below min. wage? Hopefully, working for a company that does not offshore might make a difference.
DTS could care less about their MTS, they have an add, and I would encourage people not to apply because they overhire, and most of us are out of work every single day, why they don't train all of us on other accounts instead of hiring more people makes no sense to me, but then again nothing does anymore in this industry.
Why would you think that just because they use a software owned by an Indian co that means they
outsource? They do not outsource. Arrendale used to be owned by a company in NC before they were purchased. This CO hires all American MTs.
CBAY is Indian owned out of Annapolis - sm
There was an article written about the owner in the Baltimore Business Journal earlier this year. The work goes to India but gets "edited" here. A few months ago, the owner was bouncing paychecks, however, I am not sure if that is still happening now.
CBAY is OWNED AND OPERATED by an Indian - sm
There was a HUUUUGGGEEE article about the owner in the Baltimore Business Journal earlier this year (July). He makes no bones about the work going to India. He is Indian. I know of two people that worked for him and their checks started to bounce. One of them had even gone to India to teach transcription.
Indian owned - lots of ESLs -
NM
they are NOT Indian owned - I worked for them in the office
I said they offshore. But THEY ARE NOT Indian owners. They are American owners deep into scientology and the whole L Ron Hubbard thing - not that that makes a difference, but just thought I would throw that in there.
Nope, they are still Indian owned and operated
nm
CBay is Indian-owned, and their main
priority is to send as much work as possible to India. Period. They obviously don't care that the Indian quality is so bad that it's a patient safety issue. I assume you're thinking of a radiology IC position? They laid off ALL of their US MTs and QAs (employees) and only kept a handful of radiology ICs to cover the stats the Indians couldn't do in time. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from having to be laid off with no notice by these people. This company is leading the pack of sending all our jobs overseas.
CBAY is Indian owned - article in Baltimore
Business Journal went on and on about how successful the Indian owner was and how he flies to India every other week to go to the office in India. I was really appalled and disgusted by the article because our American writers made it seem like Americans could not handle the work and therefore, had to be offshored and therefore, made this Indian owners a huge success in the US.
And, Indian owned. Not a good working environment.
Worse than Focus or Transcam.
My experience with quality/quantity with an Indian owned company
|
I worked for an offshore owned company where it was all about quantity. Company even kept a HORRIBLE MT just because she cranked out the lines. Didn't matter her quality was crap and was considered a joke by middle managment. India did most typing but with US edit. Typists changed regularly so it wasn't like they learned to do better. Quality would improve slightly and then would notice, after couple of months, that quality was crap again so we knew we were dealing with a new batch of typists. Even so, the push was always on to get the jobs off US edit and send Indian work straight to client. Of course, the clients never knew they were not getting US editing anymore, as they got no price reduction when they no longer had that level of work being done on their jobs. The problem is the facilities accept the crap work so why should the companies change. It took a while but I finally found a US owned company where quality matters. Now one of the first questions I would ask a prospective employer is if they are US owned. |
Is it true Dictaphone is now owned by Nuance (an Indian company)? (sm)
that explains why the downhill slide.
Net search shows ChipSoft Infotech PVT. LTD, at least Indian affiliated, if not
s
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
Could the MT also take it to a branch of the bank...
On which it was drawn, and would it then be stamped NSF? I was thinking it might save her some money for that bounce-back NSF fee, provided it's drawn on a national bank like BofA or WF where there might be a branch close to her home.
I've never had to do this (thank goddess!), so I'm kind of taking a shot in the dark here.
Depends on which branch.

Which branch of MD-IT is the "good one"
but want to apply to the right branch. Thanks in advance.
Still looking for Patti who was the former manager of the Las Vegas branch of the
unmentionable company here. Does anyone know the name of the company she is now in charge of or is starting? Thanks.
Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing. 99% of the MTs love KS. If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them.
Is this the branch you have to pay your own long distance for? Is a C-phone needed? nm

I have experience and never heard back from them. They're a Sten-Tel branch. nm
s
send resumes to the smaller companies, try your state first, and then branch out. sm
they are out there. If you can put your money where your mouth is and prove your skills, these small to mid size companies will grab you. I work for a mid-sized MTSO in my state. They absolutely do not outsource overseas, do not mess with VR, and I make .10 at minimum, more depending on the specialty I get. I bounce around between 5 specialties, but have become familiar enough with each specialty to make a good line count. Sorry, I'd rather not share who I work for. The company does not even advertise. You will find many of these companies do not advertise because very seldom are they in need of MTs, as most of their MTs stay with them for years.
There are several Sten-Tels. Got a state for the branch you're interested
s
Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

Go to their Indian website or other Indian websites

Great News!! I was able to cash the check yesterday. I called the branch directly and they said-sm
right now it was good. I do live in another state but her bank was bought by a bank that is local to me. I went there as soon as I could get there and they cashed the check for me!!! She owes me another small check ($84 and change) which I still have not received. I was beginning to think that I was never going to see this $$ (the last time I was able to cash a check from her was back in January). I guess if I bug her enough I will get my other funds. I think she just wants me to go away which I will as soon as I get all the funds owed me. She also owes me a 1099 but I am not going to stress over that. I still have my records. Thanks all for your ideas.

to Michigan MT
They offered me an amount and that was what they said they paid no matter what account you are on. I don't know how they work out their pay either but it sure isn't fair to the folks who have been there longer and have more than 10 years experience.
Michigan. .
SO SORRY!! I have several relatives in Michigan who have all lost jobs or drastically reduced: A mechanical engineer, home builder/grape farmer(s) and one at Pfizer who is just waiting for layoffs . .they are making wonderful pet meds now at Pfizer in Kazoo, MI
where in Michigan?
I work in Petoskey and live in Cheboygan.
Is that in MIchigan?
If it's based out of Michigan then it's the company that actually runs the on line program I took, as well as being a transcription service. The online program was pretty good - it got me working right away. It was learntranscription.com
The people that I dealt with were nice and they always looked at their own graduates to hire, so they were willing to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.
Another in Michigan
Dictation By Phone, were in Berkley, Michigan. No pay, pays late, or checks bounce if they do pay.
In Michigan it's Michigan.gov
and Click on employment. I would look at your state's offical web site and see what you can find. You can also call or visit your local state unemployment office. That's who handles the program in Michigan. They do the testing and help you apply for the funding, etc.
Is this a Google search or MT Stars search?

Anyone know anything about Superscript out of Michigan?

rxtranscription from Michigan
Anyone know anything about rxtranscription, LLC, from Michigan? Looking to test with them later this week.
Midwest where? Not Michigan, I can tell you that.
new Michigan MTSO ... and I'm just going to have to be moving on ASAP. This particular accent is just about as bad, if not worse, than Eastern European for me. And this is just way too high a percentage for me to deal with.
Danged if I know where you can go to find fewer, but I'm going to be asking about that pointblank from now on, however negatively doing so will impact my job opportunities. I mean more than 25-30% ESLs is just beyond ridiculous, IMO. More power to those of you who can and will do more than that. I'm sure you deserve a lot more than whatever you're being paid.
