Anyone heard of them??  I can't seem to find much on them.  I tested with them over a month ago, and they called today for an interview tomorrow.  I have no idea what to expect from them, but I do believe they hire IC, and they may pay by the minute.  Part-time is only 200 minutes a week.

I just started working for Sten-Tel this week, and so far I like it.  Things could change though, so I'd like to keep my options open.

I have read the post below but I wanted to know if anyone has info on this company that works or worked for them.

Thanks

They have an office in India and one in Texas.  I'm working for them now and have been for about a month.  Everyone I have dealt with is very good to work with.  The account I am on is very nice, very few ESL, lots of editing (may be a plus for some) and a small amount of standard transcription.  Pay is decent,  and on time.  They don't have DD, but have said they are looking into it so hopefully they will soon.  They have incentives for when you get over certain line amounts each pay period, and those amounts are not hard to meet either so can pretty much count on the incentives each paycheck (at least that is my experience). 

I'm happy there. 

I believe they hire new graduates.  They are very nice and good to work for, pay is always on time, it might be a little low (around 6cpl and 3cpl for editing) but it'd be a good place to start. 

If you can get a private IC to mentor you that'd be good too.

I took my first job (3 years ago) with a private IC and she paid me 4cpl for a month then 5 cpl after that.  I stayed with her for 5 months, made decent money and learned a lot.  I was able to go from working for her to a really good, steady job with a nice company.  It's worth it to take a lower line rate if you can get the one on one with a mentor. 

Best of luck!

I applied just this morning and got a call this evening.  They offered me a job without testing.  There is a paid trial period where they decide if you can do the work according to what I was told by the recruiter.  The pay is not bad, better than I am currently getting at any rate, and I was assured after the trial period it can/will go up. 

I am wondering if anyone has experience with this company.  It seemed a bit odd to me that I would get hired without testing, but I'm new to the industry so maybe it isn't that uncommon (just under a year working as an MT). 

Thanks for any opinions or advice!

Any info on Lartech??? 

Has anybody worked or is working for this company?  I am supposed to start with them on Tuesday, but am not sure about them?

TIA

They are training me this morning to work on thier software as an editor. So far, they seem like very nice, friendly people and very helpful.  They seem to be desperate for quality employees.  I will let folks know how I make out as I know alot of people are wary of them and I can understand that.

---------------------------------------------

I've transcribed for 6 years.  I worked Lartech for two months and never saw any pay.  The owner keeps saying he didn't receive his pay.  Now no communication at all about it.  I quit since I can't afford to work for free.  He owes me at least $1000.  Nice people, but no pay.  Do hospitals really not pay?  Any way I can find out?

I forgot to ask before we hung up.  Anyone know what the line rate is for their eScription?

Is anybody out there getting paid at least 60 days out from Lartech?  Waiting 2 months for a check?  Is this crazy?  I am having a hard time staying motivated to work because I know I will not see any money for months. 

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

I asked the same question a couple days ago and got some VERY VERY negative responses.  I actually told the recruiter that they had a negative reputation on these boards and she seemed flabergasted.  I needed an employee position and they hire only IC.  Pay is 9 cents/65 char line with spaces.  They have 2 hospital accounts they are hiring for; one they will send you a computer and you will use their requipment.  The other requires purchase of a C-phone.  They are standard 4 hospital.  You must commit to a minimum line count (1000 lines per day).  No benefits.  Direct deposit twice a month. 

I was not impressed and was glad when i discovered they were only looking for IC.

Hope this helps.
