I think for me, I'm probably going to bail. It's obvious the recruiter has too much on her plate as we're all getting the same story about forgetting things and contacting us in a timely manner etc..very strange but in this biz..flaky is the name of the game and they think we're the flaky, job hoppers.. I wonder why..Give us a decent job with decent benefits and actually WORK and we'd be happy, but that doesn't happen anymore. We just get jacked around.

Requirement jacked up after good work goes
What's really great is how they jacked up the minimun requirements after ASR and Precyse International took all the good work, so it's now all crap all the time and you'd better do more of it or else. I'm very disappointed in this company.
Saw posts about this earlier with suspicion their testing was jacked up. (sm)
I figure if people who have lots of experience and have obviously tested for other companies and came off okay there must be something wrong
Sorry you wasted your time. Another, more reputable company deserves your attention. Go for it.
I havent either
asd
I havent been with them long SM
But I can honestly say that they are the best company I have ever worked for.... Tons of work, excellent communication, very laid back, and a great bunch of people to work for.
I havent received anything. nm

Im trying...havent heard yet...
I wanted to ask anybody out there who works of TT Hughes Satellite system for high speed internet service? We dont have DSL or cable out here in the boonies yet.
You have to keep wondering with the new MQ pay plan that we havent gotten yet if they are going to
reduce the ASR rates or what have you and are hiring in case people decide to quit when the new rates come out. I have not heard yet what will happen with the ASR rates although they have said many times they are going to change them.
I did about 2 weeks ago, but havent heard anything. nm

Same here, I havent heard back yet. nm

I havent found a 9-pin to USB and I have looked everywhere. One place
told me that 9-pins were becoming extinct in other words so they didnt even bother selling adapters for it. I have no idea why the platform company, Escription, does not have their program updated so you can at least use a 15-pin that you can buy an adapter for and my laptop would take a 15-pin, but all Escription is compatible with is a 9-pin unless something has changed and no one told me.
I wouldnt do it
They claim to pay a shift differential...and I have been working for them since february. I have 6 years of experience and I am making 8 and a quarter. Another girl has one year and she is making 8 and a quarter. the company recently started insourcing work from Spheris and ever since everything has gone down hill. Paychecks come late and incorrectly. Previously I had postedthat this was a good company...now I am not so sure...I have recently started working for a second company and am trying to decide what to do...
email privately if you want more info
Definitely too low. I wouldnt take less than 4 cpl
No way. People that pay that are insulting..I started at 4 cpl and now am up to 5.5 cpl so it's doable.
Yikes!!!! No offense but more than 1 MT has said they havent gotten paid. I cant take a chance.
Thanks anyway..
She could tell him but probably wouldnt accept.

Wouldnt you think they would have more consideration rather
than just throwing people on with no concern about running out of work. I guess it is just easier to do that than worry about people working. Nothing like making an a-- out of people.
Havent you decided to accept their offer..or have they offered a position?
If so, what kind of pay scale do they have..
Chartscript- Just starting a job using this platform. I havent begun training yet but in looking at
the manual, it looks complicated or that you have to open up a lot of thing, I-player or something, a VPN, then the platform etc. Tell me it will be easy to learn and your able to whip through reports. I got spoiled on Escription where you just load the platform and go and then hit on button to upload. No VPN to sign into and load, no player. Just one thing. I think I'm getting to old and set in my ways to learn new systems. It seems like a hassle, so if there are any Chartscripters out there who can give me some positives, I'm all ears. I tried one other job that was the same thing and even got worse when I had to open up a ton of screens just to get demographics etc..and that was before I could even type the thing. I just cant see how that would be productive. You have 10 minutes into it before you even type the job LOL.
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
I also get the same "perks" you do and I work whenever I want. I wouldnt do it for what you ma
No Way Jose!!!

But do THEY see the names? Vandy wouldnt have to see them.
And they dont have to know that the work is not being QAd by someone in America with sense just because they see the names.
Medware..Anyone know what they pay their speech editors. I have applied but havent heard back. I
was just curious if it was worth my time or not.
Havent been at Scan Medical too long but finding the work drying up. Anyone else there
notice this.
Is Apex an internet word-based platform? Havent heard of it...

I tried downloading it into Express Scribe and it wouldnt go into that.
It's a mystery and they have never gotten back to me so I assume as I cannot play their sound file, I wont be considered for the job. I tried everything to get it to work.
I wouldnt even go there. Recruiter leaves a lot to be desired.
Make sure you read the fine print on how you'll be penalized your whole check if the QA in India finds an error in your work. It gets interesting. Now, who do you think it benefits for them to find errors such as punctuation etc..QA based out of India.. things that make you go hmmmm.... The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. There are far better companies out there to work for but best wishes...
I havent heard a word about an incentive and I have worked there almost 2 years so I guess I didnt
qualify for whatever status you needed to get an incentive. Is this something you get every pay period if you meet a quota or just something quarterly. Just curious.
So easy to say you had 73 as you cannot/wouldnt want to prove that. All heresay at this point
s
Thank you so much. I couldnt understand that 8, 16 and 24 hours very well. I wouldnt want to limit
myself to that.
Yeah, you'd think they would be contributing wouldnt you. They are not huge but big enough I woul
think they'd put in more for insurance. I checked into another and they were $700 a month. I think they had over 100 employees. Again, you would think it'd be cheaper with that many employees/family members but I guess not. I am about ready to bag this at home stuff and go to work for our local hospital.
I wouldnt go there. No communication. People getting ready to quit
Unless, your desperate for a job, I'd stay away. You can do better with a honest company who treats their MTs fairly. JMO. I currently know of three people who are quitting and it wont be long I am sure before others follow suit.
If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
regardless of what they SAY.
I meant foot pedal wouldnt work. nm
:
I thought ATSI was affiliated with Zylomed..That would be strange, wouldnt it. .
I'd check on that if I were you.
Support bad, wouldnt repond, lots of stuff to fill in not
s
oops!! I meant "a" bitter not "an" wouldnt want the MTSO to NOT hire me LOL
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
Agreed. Could not make any money there. Platform is horrid. I wouldnt matter if you were paid 18 cpl
if you couldnt get a good line count in.
Why worry about it
If you know it wasnt you, why worry about it? Just let it go and then you cannot be accused of stirring the pot. You dont work there anymore so dont concern yourself with it. Just let it go so that it can be dropped.
Not to worry.......sm
this thread will be deleted the second Admin sees it.
You don't have enough to worry/think about, do ya?! LOL
Or are ya looking for a free meal through a lawsuit? LMAO
There ARE other factors at stake when hiring or not hiring employees other than where you live, dufus. Geez! LOL
Thanks for the laugh, though!
Don't worry, you probably won't either
x
Don't worry
I'm sorry that the OP is having a bad experience, but mine has been just the opposite and wanted you to know this. I never run out of work, quite the opposite actually. Also, I have found the management to be nothing less than professional and kind. Good luck in your decision. 
not to worry...
it all depends on the account you are working on. I have 1 account where I can do 2000+ in 6 hours; but on my second account, I can't get anywhere near that.
Don't Worry...
I have known the lady that started this company from scratch and if anything, she is honest, reliable and dependable--she would let you know if something were wrong and/or if you were in need of worrying. They are a very talented team @ TransTech.
That's something I worry about...
I worked for a smaller company before and when the work dropped, it dropped like a rock. I am just stuck as to whether to accept the job or go with the larger national. This is for editing.
Don't worry
TTS pay is so bad that their employees are from the bottom of the barrel. No good MT would work for them, couldn't afford to, so no company is going to keep using TTS because of poor work quality.
Don't worry (sm)
My accounts were all out this morning, but they are picking up pretty fast. Yes, you can work a holiday even if you are not scheduled and still get time and a half for all typed.
Should I worry
The company I work for offered benefits. Employees signed up and no word on the benefits. Now an email stating the benefits are there and have been there and we will pay back for the previous month. There was no way to use the benefits without the information so what is a person supposed to do?
Don't worry
I'm so sorry to hear this, but try not to worry too much. I know, easier said than done when the bills start coming in. There are many, many jobs out there though, and I think you will find something even better. I left Amphion a while back and am very happy with my new employer. Start applying and don't give up! Good luck to you!
