I agree, it's not the greatest, and I'm only saying that because of the spell check -sm

      • Similar to DocQScribe, expansions go in auto-correct, horrible spell-check. nm - It's an okay platform; none of them are great.

other things you mentioned are a given for the job. When I say proofread, I mean type a report, then go back and proof, not proof as you go. I am sure we all do that.

Everyone, regardless of what they are paid, should spell check, know their accounts, know grammar and punctuation usage, etc.

I am sure many would lose money if paid hourly, sounds like you are doing well, good for you! If I had the attention span I am sure I could make what you make. I should make that my goal this year. However, how many times on these boards have you read that I am only making $3 an hour. I have read that more than I have read that people are making what you make.

What about your benefits? Do you have retirement with matching contribution from your company? Do you have health insurance, dental, vision, etc, paid for by your company (or at least sharing the cost). Do you  have paid days off? Please, I would really like to know. If I am making $30k a year with the above benefits, essentially I am almost making what you make with my benefits, wouldn't you think? I would have to run some numbers, but I think we would come very close in salary.

Also, depending on where you live, $30k can be good money. If you live in Hawaii, which is the most expensive state to live, $30k might not get you far, however, if you live in Missouri, $30k might be great money. Let's face it, $50k is not that great if you live in downtown Manhattan.

So, we throw in something else to think about, cost of living. Since an MTSO generally hires nationwide, is the cost of living of your employee a factor in what you pay?

I would think that the way an MTSO pays is generally driven by being competitive with the next company (our prices are lower)not necessarily based on cost of living or taking into consideration the education and experience of the people they are going to hire.

Thanks

large companies is the fact that they don't have time to monitor public message boards.  Why?  Because they are secure in the knowledge that they are offering what they feel is a decent wage, decent benefits and working conditions.  If they hire someone and it doesn't work out, they just see it in real terms--it wasn't a good fit.

Some small companies, on the other hand, are run by emotional people who are very insecure.

I worked for Precyse for a good portion of last year. When I was hired I was told I had to accept a certain shift, no flexibility allowed (but wound up flexing my schedule most of the time do to lack of work). I was also told who my TL would be, turned out there was another TL for my account. Was told my account was a fair mox of 50/50 as far as ESL dictators - It was nothing but ESL dictators. Could never make my line count and would get scolded by QA quite often. I got a new TL every few months. Most were nice and had great communication skills, just had one who NEVER answered e-mails or IMs. Pay was not great, the hours I had to work were not good for me and I just had a lot of aggrevation working there.

Also, the new platform they introduced was awful. Hated it. That and the fact I had yet another changing of my TL were the reasons I left.  

has happened to  me before.  I DO have something that I'd rather not share with others, but my supervisors are aware of it.  If it comes up in a background check (it is not criminal and has not shown up previously) they are aware of it, I have not lied about it and it should not cause any problems.  I have been through this with 2 other companies in the recent past, no problems.

Background checks are expensive and I think the cost of doing a check in depth on everyone would be cost prohibitive.  Right now, if you know it or not, everyone who is employed in the US has to prove citizenship and eligibility to work in the US.  This is part of the Homeland Security Act and absolutely nothing to do with TT or their PEOs.  I am a recent hire and I had to go through this process with the previous PEO.  If you are legal to work in the US, you have nothing to worry about. There is your background check and you have George Bush to thank for it. 

I wonder about some of you reactionaries.  What ever happened using common sense?  My mother told me not to believe everything I hear.  I extend that to not believing everything I read from an unreliable source, like a message board.  

However, if they are going to mail the checks, the checks should be mailed to arrive on the day of pay day and the employee should not have to pay to have their check Fed Ex'd.  I am going to start working PT for Encompass, and the first check or two comes via the mail until DD is established, and they state in the contract that the checks are mailed so as to arrive on the day of pay day.  To me, THAT is a sign of a company that cares. 

JLG may be a great company, but it sounds like they have financial issues.  I worked there a long time ago and at that time we were paid every other week.  It stated in the contract that the checks would be mailed every other Friday from the Tampa airport.  I waited and waited and when I FINALLY got my check, they had back dated the postage meter date to the day it was supposed to have been mailed, but it was postmarked severald days later -- like I'm so stupid I wouldn't notice!!   Still, things change and personell change, and I had considered working for them again until all of this mess started up again, which obviously was a  major red flag to me.  I do believe that they care for the MTs, so I hope they get the financial thing solved and reinstitute direct deposit. 

Not a good place to work at all.

little bit more luck.  Diskriter. 

The word anything is a no brainer.  Boy, you're sure a little high on the horse, huh?  I'm not the OP, but where's the support here ??????  Cut the OP a break.  She's venting!  Oh, you must be QA.........
