Ascend is advertising pay at 11 cpl. Didnt they have problems paying or is that resolved.
Inquiring minds need to know.
I didn't care for Ascend's platform...very time consuming
and no paid training
About about paying a "fortune'.. geesh.. time for a nap
I had a very high paying position....once upon a time....
first of this year. Had it for years. Then, one day, it was gone. Offshored. Gone was my 50K year job. It can happen to you, too, sister. Since the first of the year, I have diligently searched for a job. However, I have been lied to again and again about what I was committing to, carrott dangling that if I would just do acute care until a RAD account came on board that never materialized, a Monday-Friday schedule that turned out to be 7 DAYS A WEEK, an MTSO wanting me to pay them to work for them by charging me their software license fee, horrible Indian dictators, etc., and on and on. Yes, something has definitely changed in this business. For me, the hardest part has been working for a really great company, being respected, pay always and everyt ime on time, setting my own schedule, only to be thrown into the real world of MT as it exists today with unscrupulous MTSOs (LARGE AND SMALL) thinking they can take advantage or worse that you are so desperate for work you will commit to anything.
The things of concern written by the OP are real. Just because you have a good job now does not mean you will have it tomorrow. With your attitude, I would suggest you not come here to get support in your time of need since you obviously have no empathy for your fellow MTs and what they are experiencing today.
I, too, second 200% the original poster's comments.
is Breitner paying on time (or at all!) yet? archives are old answers. thx.

superior global - are they paying on time now? any input since july?xx

spheris has a hard time paying their referral bonuses as well.
Spheris has a hard time paying for referrals too...just put you in a drawing for some prize. if you win, great if not, then who cares.
Company is not Ascend, but Ascend is
famous for not paying on time.
Must be the new and improved way to
recruit? Just makes me nervous. You know how some people don't test well - I just don't like interviews. Most MTs I know are more on the shy side - maybe even borderline hermit :-) Not sure who are the top 10 you mentioned so I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for your response.
Improved ISR?
What is the new platform that is supposed to be more efficient? I know what we have now is NOT efficient. I have been making the same tedious corrections over and over and over again for close to a YEAR! The current ISR is most definitely not learning.
Has Soft Script improved at all lately. nm
:
Emdat is improved from the problems
mentioned about the spellchecker and foot pedal. It does not do everything Word does, but is okay if you have a good account and put in all your quick corrects.
Transcend has improved in the last two years...
I have stayed throughout, but many people have left and come back. We have better communication, better benefits and more importantly, a better platform. We have a 401-K match, and I received a nice Christmas card with a $25 gift card. No company is perfect and I do know Transcend struggled for a while years back - but I can't complain.
Has BeyondTXT improved over the years? sm
Just wondering since it will be new to me. Thanks!
Has Spheris improved any since 2007? I saw an add SM
and was thinking about applying. I worked for them before all the changes happened.
Thanks.
They have improved the platform recently and it's much quicker.
While the accounts I am on are high ESL, with the QA support and the community website for samples, I actually do well and like the accounts. Pay is always on time, the incentives are good. I like the company. You may too.
No, things definitely have not improved. I left a month ago
and really wish I had listed to the posters on here.
I have to admit my line count has improved since reading the board
I see how everyone else is doing, and then I can set goals for me, though I am too shy to be on the goal board yet. I have to thank the board for that. It teaches me what is possible, and also that we can only do our best. I have to agree totally about how it has been a godsend.
When I am renting, I am PAYING; when I'm working, THEY are paying ME. sm
Seems I should be running a credit check on the potential employer to see if THEY are responsible with their money, not the other way around.
Ascend
Stay far away.
I believe that was Ascend who had that ad going. nm

Ascend
Yea but Jay is really bad about this. He's got a bad reputation. I feel for your friend.
Ascend
Was your friend an IC or employee? If IC, wage an hour won't help.

Does anyone working for Ascend have any info on them? Thanks a lot.
Ascend
I would appreciate information about Ascend. Thank you.
Ascend
Has Ascend management improved?
Ascend
I worked for them several years ago. The problem I had with them was bounced and late paychecks. Last I heard, this was still a recurring issue with them. Unless something has changed as of recent, it is a foreign-owned company as well.
Ascend anyone?
ANY information would be great before I apply. I saw some bad posts a while back, but has this cleared up or are they still foreign-owned and bouncing checks?
Ascend
So Ascend paids on time now?
Ascend
Any new information on Ascend? Are they still having the same problems I've seen in the archives regarding pay issues? Thinking about applying. TIA.
Ascend
I just accepted an offer with Ascend today!!! Do they pay or not???
Ascend
I worked for them through last year as MT/Editor. Made $0.10 for STAT and $0.06 for editing. Pay on time, enough work but some tough accounts. I left because of family problems. No major problems.
Anyone here work for Ascend?
I know they outsource, have done a search and read the info there, but what's the scoop NOW? Thanks!
Ascend info
I need to the real specifics on this company before I accept their offer. The pay they are stating is within reason. Does their accounts consist of ESL doctors? Does any of their paychecks bounce? Please help, thanks. Good bless the hurricane victims.
Can't swear but think she is with Ascend.

Ascend feedback
Does anyone work for Ascend? Love it? Dislike it?
Ascend Company
Has anyone worked for the Ascend Company or know anything about them?
Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.
There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.
Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.
I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL.
ASCEND HEALTHCARE
They pay 6 cents per line. I am training there in QA, but there are a lot of administrative details...

Ascend Healthcare?
Anyone care to share your experience with this company?
Does anyone know how it is to work for Ascend?
They offered me a job. Does anyone know anything about them?
Any updated info on Ascend?
I know they have a good pay rate, but have they started paying their employees?
it's ascend -- DON'T DO IT. you'll hate it.

What happened to Ascend post?

Ascend is not the company being discussed

Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee. How is the work and are they truly paying on time? Do they have direct deposit? Thanks!
My understanding is that Ascend is making efforts
to pay those who have not received a check as yet. If you have questions, please feel free to email me as I have been working with the owner regarding non payment issues. Thanks, Administrator.
Ascend Healthcare info and suggestions
Any info out there on Ascend Healthcare? Any suggestions on a great company to work for when one is just looking for part-time IC status employment?
