I interviewed with them a couple of months ago ...

From what I can remember when I searched the archives they seemed to be one of the better companies.  The recruiter, Rhonda, is great, very friendly, very knowledgeable.  I decided, however, to go with a smaller company, one that focuses on clinic notes, where I have a Mon-Fri schedule and could not be happier. 

Hope that this helps a little.

were about a dozen questions.  Some were multiple choice, some about what part of the body is lingual (this is just an example and not what they used), I had to spell about 3 words/terms. 

I interviewed with Z and she was great, I didn't feel the least bit intimidated.

First off, the recruiter/interviewer was so darned nice, incredibly down to earth, and an absolute pleasure to talk to.  After talking with them, I was really bummed I wouldn't be working for them because this interviewer person was just so real and someone I would love to know outside of work, ya know?  It wasn't just all robot-business speak, which is refreshing like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, I was asked what I was looking for and said I needed to make a guaranteed minimum of 7000 lines per pay week, as I was sole suport for my household, and that I loved where I was now but was only looking to change employers because I needed benefits. 

In an incredibly kind gesture of goodwill towards a fellow workhorse, I was told it would most likely never happen (the volume of work available to consistently earn a high line count), as this field has slow periods, as you must know, and a steady amount of work can never be guaranteed and that, for your situation, you would be best off with your current employer with no benefits and a plentiful work supply.  The mention of 30% VR and increasing day-by-day was also a huge put-off for me because, well, I hate that crap...and don't let anyone fool you, for the money you earn, it is most indeed crap and the joke is on the MT.

This place has a great pay rate, great benefits, but unfortunately the work flow cannot be guaranteed.  Scary prospect indeed when one can't work just for fun money for shoes and crap.  I couldn't believe the honestly and I was so appreciative of that.  

3 months I was lucky to get in 800 lines a day.  I had a couple of days where I got maybe 4 reports.  I would sit in front of my computer for 12 hours/day, checking every 5 minutes, and still couldn't get my lines with 3 different accounts.

They hire away ahead of time for new accounts and after training they have to do something with them until the account goes live so they put them on other accounts temporarily and then there isn't enough work for the regulars. 

When I first started running out of work I watched the backlog report to see where an account might have a big backlog and there were 3 or 4 who were on OT most of the time, but when I asked to be put on one of those accounts I was told no.  There were many days that it looked like half the accounts had a 0 backlog.  Then they started hiring for 3-day weeks and 4-day weeks so there was no work on weekends to try to make up your lines/hours. 

of months when they thought they were getting a new account and hired everyone who called or submitted a resume.  There is just NO WORK for all of us anymore.  Lost account, so what did they do -- put those MT's piled on top of us on our primary account. 

TT is in serious trouble, I do believe, financially.  If they are having to pay MANY MT's, but have few accounts, they won't last for long.  Who is TT's financial backer?????   Do they have one????  Who owns TT???  I once heard a real estate broker owned them.  Wonder how much rent they pay on their office in Houston???  Wonder how many $$$$ in bonuses they are giving out to mgmt-type people????

We TT MT's are seriously hurting financially and getting very stressful on our health and livelihood.  We hear absolutely nothing from mgmt about this situation, but *good things* are coming.  You remember when the Q said the same thing to their MT's a few years ago and it was only beneficial to mgmt.  It was a real crock!!!!!

I must say that my job that I used to enjoy beginning my shift every day is now the MOST stressful thing in my life, and we ALL have stressors of one kind of another, admit or not.  TT has become the biggest stress in my life, without a doubt.  A doctor friend of mine and my own personal doctors say that is what my problem is. 

These MTSO's have gotten just as greedy as GMC and all those other HUGE conglomerates!

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 

That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 

The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!

I didn't want to wait a whole year before beginning to accrue PTO so I went elsewhere.

we scheduled a phone conference to discuss the opening they had no less than five times and kept having to reschedule it at the last minute - very irritating.

offered positions with both, declined both.   I have nearly 20 years' experience in acute care, can do any work type, ESLs, etc.  I aced both tests.  Cymed offered me 8 cpl and 8.5 cpl over 18,000/lines pay period.  

Precyse lied to me and I wouldn't work for them if they were the only company out there.  They pay based on if you are CMT or not, how many years experience, what shift, etc.  I was offered about  10 cpl, but the account they wanted to put me on was one I had worked on when I was with YOG and it was an extremely difficult account.   There are lots of posts about how Precyse ignores e-mails and that communication is very poor overall.   They use IM and during the 2 or 3 interviews they stopped several times to answer IMs from team leaders.  

I don't need insurance so didn't ask questions in regards to that. 

Don't know much about the way the jobs load, but she did say people are only taking 2 weeks or less to get up to speed.  (Of course, I know, they can tell you anything.) 

The recruiter was very pleasant, the test was a verbal thing, and the pay was decent.

how can she test badly and mess up the interview? 

I'm a person you have bashed in the past, you remember firing me, yada, yada, yada.  You don't even know who I am.  I only dealt with H and when I called him to give my notice he begged me to stay, offered to pay me whatever I wanted to stay.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but if anyone looks through past posts about SS there are 10 negatives for every positive, and most of the positives have a management tone to them. 

I laughed about your quality statement.  When I was in QA the MTs were horrendous.  Mary at MTDaily asked me if SS offshored work.  I told her the quality was so bad that it was quite possible. 

I just hope anyone considering SS decides after reading your post that they don't want to waste their time.
