Found the information in the archives, thanks (sm)

I called the phone number and it answers for Macro-Solutions.  I also checked with the BBB and sure enough they have been in business for a long time and have an excellent rating BUT the contact name is different than the name given with the BBB, but that could be because it is the HR person posting the ad.  I still think that something is fishy with it, who knows though.

mentioned tons of bad ESLs and not enough work -- not too encouraging.  Perhaps that has changed?  Anyone working for them currently or know anything new?

down from where you are asking.  Maybe how many years of experience they have isn't listed, but then there are no guidelines which we are told to follow about posting about a company.   I know I worked for SoftScript and it was horrendous and I didn't have any non-ESL dictators.  Someone else will post about how wonderful a company it is, but all of the Ex-SS have figured out it is probably management because we ALL know better.   I figure there is there are at least a dozen posts and 11 of them are negative then it is a bad company.  I do agree though that a newbie doesn't know there is anything better out there. 

Many times people post read the archives and I'm guilty of that, because a company has been discussed so much and the very same questions asked again and again and again.   I tihnk it is up to us to do our own research, just like the word boards aren't for those too lazy to Google something. 

There were negative posts in the past about the DOS system but I understand they have a new internet based platform. 

Anyone willing to reply here or by E-mail who is working there now?  Pay, amount of work, do they match 401? 

TIA

Looks like the rubber checks have been an on going issue as there were others who had troubles in December, then those in the spring.  The pay is on a sliding scale based on production and it's low.  Starts at 5cpl for 0-5000 lines and goes up to 7.5cpl after 20,000 lines per pay period. 

I'll pass.

I know they are hiring so I am just trying to gather some information before applying.

They offshore, but they don't want you to know that.

Anyone with information on this company? 

...in December.  I'm sure the whole thing had been going on for a while, but they didn't tell us MTs until December and gave us about 2-3 weeks' notice.  The conference calls were very helpful and informative, however.  Made the whole process easire.  My TL would always send us emails letting us know what was going on and what to expect...which was not much change from what we were doing already, except for how we report our time/lines.  I just wish we didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again (W-4, I-9, etc.).  The HIPPA and Transcend-specific paperwork I understand, but the others I wish would have just been transferred over. I'm not privy to how that process works, so I just do what I'm instructed to do.

Not sure about the not sending work to India thing.  I believe that Transcend does send work overseas, but it's a small percentage from what they told us.
