I agree with Hope.  There are those of us who have not had 20+ years experience. We have taken minimal paying positions in order to get experience and for once, we would like to be given the opportunity to make some money and just given a chance to show we can do the work. As most recent graduates will agree, it can be very fustrating when every resume sent out is replied with contact us after you have experience.

I would expect QA to bring to my attention my weaknesses and where I needed to put more effort.  Sometimes I read this forum and think how ungrateful some people are and maybe they are just burnt out with the industry and should find a new career. There are those who are new and hopeful we can eventually earn a reasonable income working at home doing something we like doing. Otherwise, we would never have taken the time out of our busy lives to return to school. Try being more positive and do not scare the new job seekers.

I have recently been hired by Focus and I know what is expected of me. Not many jobs pay top dollar for a person to sit at home in their pajamas. The least we can do is do the work without bitching.

I have been with Transcend for almost 6 years and while they are not a perfect company they are better than most.  There have been mergers in the past-I actually came from the other MDI (which was a much more laid back company).  As far as I've seen with past mergers you get to keep your work.  They don't take you off it and give it to someone else.  That makes no sense to have to train new MTs for your accts and you on something else.  I know you are unhappy that you have to make a change but give Transcend a chance.  They are a good company. Is it a good fit for everyone?  No, but you won't know until you give it a chance with an open mind.  And before the bashers get on and say I am management, I am not, just another in the trenches MT who has worked for other services in the past. As far as outsourcing, I know it is done but as far as I can tell it is not a lot.  I work on 2 different platforms and both have plenty of work and have had for quite a while now. 

May depend on the account; perhaps for clinic, but don't know for sure.   Call them - they're the nicest folks I've ever worked with in any setting, not just MT. 

If you want to know the real scoop, always better to just ask.  Someone might pay me $20 a report (okay, in my dreams) and someone else something else.   I understand when people come here and want to know things a recruiter or HR person cannot or will not tell you, such as quality and quantity of dictation and dictators, reliability of being paid on time and such.  But if you want to know specifics of how much per report/line, what kind of bennies, direct deposit or no, etc ... why not just write an email or pick up the phone and ASK?

This is not meant to be rude or anything.  I just am curious.  When I signed on with a company, I saw posts saying 10 cpl was the ceiling and a bunch of other user-specific information that had nothing to do with what I was offered.  I made 11-1/2 cpl AND they paid my long distance.  A lot has to do with bargaining skills and what you have to offer.

JMO.

Pay is consistently late--and comes with a boat load of excuses.  Not worth it.  I am still waiting for payments.
