Once I sorted through the nasty and bitter posters and then the cheerleaders, for lack of a better word, a few companies seem to be truly good companies to work for.  All I am looking for are a few specifics that will tilt the balance for me.  I do want to say that all 3 know that I am talking to the other 2 and I was surprised at the reactions.  ALL 3 of them only had nice things to say about the other 2.  They did not bash those companies or try to sell me on theirs, just gave me facts. I was impressed by that.  There were 4 that I originally had narrowed it down to, but one of them went on and on about how the others were horrible and I would be better going to them.

Here's what I need to know about MDI Maryland, Keystrokes and TT.  I just want the facts, not the bitterness.  I would really like answers from MTs who have been at one or more of them for more than 6 months.  I think that 6 months is a good evaluation period.

Do they pay on time?
Is the pay correct?  If not, do they fix it right away?
Do they run out of work on a regular basis, not just during slow periods?
Can you reach a manager when you need one?
Does IS return your calls?
Do they give feedback if you ask for it?
Do they send work offshore that you know of (worked for a company that said no but really did)?
Do you get a good feeling from them/gut instinct?
Would you refer your friends or family to them if qualified?

Thank you in advance.  I am trying to decide by Monday and these are things that current and past employees can answer.  Please do not give me vague answers like don't go there or they're great.  I really am having a hard time choosing.

it was mainly only a couple of MTs that posted.  I want to do more than be an MT and I thought KS would be a good company that I could advance with. 

It just did not turn out to be a good experience for me.  They talked a good talk, but they never followed through with the raises or anything else.  I never ever got paid for OT, yet was asked to work extra during my work days and asked to work on my scheduled days off.  I worked because I needed the money, but 8 cpl just wasn't worth it.  I also had a lead that wasn't very good and you might as well have talked to the wall. 

I think there are worse companies out there and if you are coming from MQ they might seem pretty good.  If you go back and reread your post it sounds like it is a no brainer. 

Actually only one person said anything negative and that was that they didn't pay, but others who have and are working for them countered that and said they do indeed pay.

I started with them last week and am happy so far.  Haven't worked a full pay period so can't say for sure on the pay/don't pay issue. 

They have an office in Texas and an office in India.  If you don't like/want to work for a company that works with India also then it isn't for you, otherwise it has been good for me so far.  The account I am on is pretty easy and I am being very productive.  It is editing and transcription, from what I've seen about 1/3 standard transcription and 2/3 editing VR files.

Hope this helps.

Which accounts are you working?  Do you like them?  Are you making alot of money?  Does Hils pay on time, every time? 

Thanks

anything about MDI but they have been mentioned a lot lately so lots in the archives.  KS doesn't pay OT, not legal, but they don't pay.  Company extremely disorganized.  Lots of accounts are C-phone accounts so you need ULD, though they do have some accounts that use foot pedal.  Lots of accounts are Meditech, which is really crappy and hard to make lines.   They start everyone at 8 cpl and say in so many days  you will have a review and may make 0.05 cpl more, but don't hold your breath.  I was told I don't know how many times that I would get an increase, never did.  I hated Webmedx, cried nearly every day I worked there.  They have fixed some of the issues so things are probably better, but there are accounts that frequently run out of work and you may need several accounts to make your lines.  Each account has their own account specifics, which can be  a major PITA if you aren't one of those people who transition back and forth easily. 

KS supposedly got new insurance that is more reasonable, I left before that happened so don't know much about it, but it was VERY expensive before.   I think Webmedx has his premiums too, at least if you need coverage for more than yourself.  I don't know about the other 2 companies.

Sorry I didn't rate, but not something you can really do unless you have worked for all 4. 

I have 2 friends who work at TNI.  They have been there a long time and are happy. 

I think it depends on who your supervisor is.
