I thought she was Proveros -- no? That's what she told me a few months ago. sm

Doesn't matter.  To me, the TTS pay scale is too low.  I didn't even bother interviewing with them after they sent me their email outlining the pay structure.

I got an email from Proveros about 3 months ago and...
it was sent by none other than Sheri Steadman, former keeper of this site. Of course I turned down the job - I had already read the postings on this board about pay problems. Upstanding citizen? Me thinks NOT!
I care because 7 months ago I was told I'd by

I'd be crying to get my job back.  Well 7 months have passed and not only am I not crying to get my job back at Transcend, I'm reading that people there are pretty much as furious now as some were 7 months ago.  Not much has changed there, has it?  I waited until enough time passed to defend myself because the proof is in the pudding.   It seems that it is only the ones who keep defending the unethical actions of this company that think I'm making myself look bad.   That much has not changed.  As far as being open and honest with the employees about the offshoring, I don't believe that for a minute.   They were never very forthcoming OR honest, why would they change now?  They could send you as many emails as they want at this point because there is no way you could prove that they haven't been planning this for a while now.  Think about it.  How many companies start a pilot anything without planning first and if they thought that much about their employees to tell them up front, why were so many blindsided by the news? 


As far as experimenting and doing are 2 different things - and just because something is being explored doesn't mean it will be a done deal.   How quickly you forgot the VR pilot, huh?  Or maybe you weren't there when it was just a pilot.   As far as being happy for myself, I am.  I don't need to knock Transcend's reputation, they do quite well with that themselves.  If they didn't, there wouldn't be posts like mine to be read.  But one thing for sure has not changed.   Employees at Transcend will come and go at a rapid rate because many will catch on to the unethical practices.  Some will stick it out longer than others because they want to give Transcend the benefit of doubt.  But, Transcend shows its appreciation by sending their work overseas and tinkling all over those who have been hardworking, loyal employees.   Some will tire of it, and some like being tinkled on.  But employees like that make for good stock return and money to be made, and that's another reason I still have interest in Transcend and how many have left this time.



 


 



 


6.  If you're really making all of the money you're claiming then good for you - especially if you're not working extra hours.  Be happy for yourself and don't knock another company.  It makes you look bad.   One person's dream job is another person's disaster.  I'm sure that where-ever you're working now has people who say bad things about it.   


I interviewed a few months ago and was told:

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.  


I was told we have 3 months on VA to make the new production....
interesting, since no one can make it anyway, wonder what they are going to do about that?
I hired on about 3 months ago and was told then Monday a.m. (sm)
might be sketchy at times due to so many people scheduling themselves day shift. I don't mind really, I came from Medquist and now when I run out of work and have to flex my time it is on my schedule. I don't have to schedule a time to make up work, i.e. Friday thru Sunday and MQ wanted me pinned down as to EXACT hours I would be on working.

The accounts I am on are smaller than I am used to (both under 500 beds) but they seem to keep me in work most of the time. Smaller accounts and overflow accounts can be a killer though.

Good luck. Hope it gets better for you today. I am still in the honeymoon phase but I really love it here.
wow, i was never told about required textbooks, only that i could test in 6 months too.

It's not BS as you claim. They told me they do not hire PT. I have tried 3 times in 3 months.
I cannot work FT as I have a job at a hospital but they will not budge on saying no PT. I have read all your posts as I have been researching companies and it seems like you think you know more about KS than you do. You post something bad about every KS post but you don't give details, so I think you are BS.
I thought there were posts a few months ago saying they laid off 50-some people. nm

TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL

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 don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

Proveros, Inc.
Anyone heard of this company good bad or ugly.  Rather know upfront. 
Proveros Inc
Anyone know what they pay for eScription?
Does anyone know anything about Proveros?
Good, bad, ugly? I think they are in NH. TIA!
I can tell you more about Proveros.

Proveros
Watch out... I've had experience dealing with a company that was partnered with Proveros... they did not pay on time and what they do pay is pathetic...  Stay away, stay far, far away...
proveros does

Proveros Pay
Is Proveros's regular pay once or twice a month?
Proveros
Is there anyone that knows anything about Proveros?
Proveros
It is an exploitative venture that pays slave wages. Don't suport it.
Proveros
You might want to do a background check on the principals.
proveros
good/SMART. Unlike some of us who got screwed over by Proveros.
So what about Proveros?
Don't you think we should see for ourselves what was said?
Proveros....sm
If anyone is considering working for Proveros, just know that you will have to wait 30 days before you receive a paycheck, it's in their contract. 
Proveros
I would also go to the Proveros website and check out the affiliations that are listed. Personally, I was surprised to see several religious organizations listed as affiliates of Proveros.
Proveros..

Proveros
I TOTALLY AGREE!
Proveros
You are so right!! Sydniee is such a liar and a bitch (you will never get her to respond to you, how they stay is business is a mystery.
PROVEROS! STAY AWAY!!

I worked for this company for a couple of days and went elsewhere because they offered no benefits.  I was to have received a check on the 30th of July for work done the beginning of July and didn't get it.  After repeated communications, they have told me it has been mailed, overnighted, etc., etc. and I still haven't gotten it.  Now they're telling me it was overnighted today (we'll see) and the amount they told me is way below what it should be and what my time sheet shows.  The president of the company is now emailing me!!!  I have wasted so much time and energy with them and wondered if anyone else has anything to say about them.


PROVEROS STAY AWAY

I also have had a terrible time getting paid by Proveros.  They keep promising me that the money is in the mail - and it's alot more than what they owe you - but it never seems to show up.  One time they told me it was going to be sent via federal express and I asked for a tracking number and it showed only that a request had been put in - no package had ever actually been picked up for delivery.  I would recommend that you STAY FAR FAR AWAY from this company - they are not honest and either don't pay- or pay very very verylate.


Any new information on Proveros, Inc.? sm

How they pay, is there enough work, platform, how is management, etc., etc. etc.?


TIA


Anyone work with Proveros lately? nm

Looking for any info on Proveros
Anyone working for this company or that has.  I am just looking for any possible good/bad information.  Thanks!
working for Proveros
They won't hide from the truth and will tell you that they have paid late on occasion but they have always paid which is more than can be said of many. I reached the owner and he we upfront and took the time to talk and then follow up. Been around for about 3.5 years and growing fast with lots of work. They just started a great program for military spouses and seem very committed to us as MTs. Their only downside is what I said earlier.  You want to work for a company with ethics and has lots of work - it's been great for me
Proveros Payroll
Has anyone out there ever worked or is currently working for Proveros? They say one gets paid after 30 days. It has been six weeks and I am looking to get paid. I feel I've given them ample time to pay me. I wrote an email to the gal in payroll, and she has not replied yet. I would think she would apply right away.
Sounds to me like Proveros
might not be where I would choose to work. It is reprehensible to wrap oneself in the American flag as a marketing ploy. That's one of the cheapest sell-outs there is.
proveros not good
If it were something good they wouldnt want to hide it.
proveros cant hide
This is hilarious. I am sure shortly Syd or Sheri at Proveros will whine to take these posts down. Because it is defamatory. LOL But you can run but you cant hide. Proveros is a deplorable company to work for for FREE.. Bottom line over and over and over again.. Pay is LATE or NON existent. Whine away girls at Proveros. We all know the deal.
Proveros and recruiter

Has anyone wanted to apply to Proveros but did not due to the person who is the recruiter for that company?  I am wondering as I have heard from friends who did not apply when they noticed the name of the Recruiter.


My best advice regarding Proveros
would be for anybody considering working for them to do a background check on the principals involved and then make your own decision based on what you find.
Any positives about Proveros?
All I see are negatives about Proveros.  Anybody work there that is happy?  Low ESL, plenty of work?  Anything?
Any info on Proveros
All info appreciated.
No, she works for Proveros..nm
sssssss
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up.  I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills!  I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work.  Is everybody sending work overseas?
Email for Proveros President

At least the president of the company must have some class.  This is an email I just received from him:


Hi Marla -

 

Your numbers are correct. I am so sorry!! I am sending you another check today via FedEx for the full $67.58.  Please keep the first check for $39.00 in return for your frustration and time.

 

I will have the second tracking number sent as well.

 

Thanks for all your time and again our sincerest apologies.

 

Steve

Now that the dust has settled about Proveros.....sm

Anyone know of Proveros? They sent me an email out of the blue.

I have heard Proveros has that clause.

proveros true colors
Guys, 42, 41, 30 days who cares. Can you see the attitude of the chick who keeps saying stuff is DEFAMATORY...can you imagine dealing with a person like this on a day to day basis and and then again when you DON'T get paid even after 100 days. Bottom line...they don't pay. Avoid this crazy Indian owned company.
proveros wins for worst
anytime the company PROVEROS is mentione THE BIGGEST a can of worms gets opened up. Because they cannot hide from all the MTs they screwed over.just read on below. Sheri is a total freak an so unprofessional as evidenced by her post and multiple alias' >>yet she recruits for Proveros?....MTs please do not give this co, even a fleeting thought. They do not pay on time ever ever or never.
DIT and Proveros allow split shifts
However, I think Proveros was just bought out by Superior Global or merged with them. It won't hurt to check them out.
