the real poster was the manager so I believe this also is management. I think it is pretty low for a manager to pretend to be an employee trying to recruit other people under false pretenses.

Not going to sing more praises sm
I know that I have been effusive about TransTech, as have others. I think many of you are lucky that you have never been abused by your MTSO, but a lot of us HAVE!
I have friends who are MTs too. The describe name calling. They talk about being told to work every weekend and all week with no days off, because they are told they will be fired. (You can't fire a slave, a slave has to be sold.) Many of us support ourselves and/or a family out of necessity and this is not a second income. We put up with this stuff because it is easier than being hungry and homeless.
I know about not being paid and currently I have $5000 I am still owed over the past 5 years. I have had rubber checks. I have had late checks. I have screwed out of my lines because they thought I was doing too well so they refigured how they count my lines and I made less. I have been offered 9 cents and then paid 8.25 and not told why, can't get any answers from anyone why they aren't doing what was in my CONTRACT and won't fix it. I have been bullied over the phone by an IC supervisor who called me, she said to rip you a new one. (I had left an hour early the day before because there was no work.) I have been promised enough work and I don't know what they think is plenty, but it doesn't match up with my production. You name it, I think I have been there, seen it, done it, bought the T-shirt and seen the cheesy movie!
You'll please pardon some of us who have been through the above and worse. It is refreshing to me to have a place where there truly is enough work that I don't run short. It is scary to have people be so nice to me because I wonder what they are after, and believe it can't be good. Being treated like a human being at work is different for ME. I think many of us who have gone to TT recently are surprised, scared of being treated properly, and feel very grateful...so we voice it and bore the rest of you to tears. There are other companies who are like this too, and those of you who work for KS go right ahead. I got yelled at there too for coming here to ask a question about the platform that no one would take the time to answer for me.
To each their own. This is mine, I like it and if there comes a time I don't, I'll be back to ask you all where I should apply.
You can sing CS praises until you are fired
out of the blue for no reason like so many other leads there.
I used to sing the highest praises of this company, but they are s/m
sadly becoming one of many in the business who, in the end, caree nothing about the MT. I have been out of work for days! (I have 4 accounts of 90% ESL and do all work types). I am interviewing for other jobs outside of the MT world as we speak. Can't afford to sit here without work for more than a day. It has been more like a week with no work that amounts to anything.
I was told the other day that they had to hold work for one of our hospitals because that hospital has in-house union workers who needed the work!!!
I wouldn't waste my time to come here to sing praises of a company. ahh
I come here sometimes to vent and to hopefully keep some other poor person from having to suffer the same bad time. But I don't come here to slather prasies on some company because they are doing what they profess the are supposed to be doing in the first place. I'm doing my job - and if they are doing their job - nothing needs to be said. 
Congratulations! I found the hiring process
quick, efficient and rather pleasant. I took the test on July 3, and was hired on July 5 after my references were checked. I have found everyone to be professional and courteous. The equipment came right away. I've been paid on time, and my account has never run out of work. I'm part-time also; I don't miss nights and weekends. Finally, I'm left in peace to work and don't spend all day reading and answering e-mails. So far, quite good. Welcome aboard!
Ironically, we work for 2 different companies that are in FL and start with an M. I wondered because
other than that one account, I get a great line count on my main one, but I still say I'd dump any job with a big line count discrepancy. Why frazzle yourself.
When YOG sold to MQ, I felt like I was punched in the stomach. Ironically, sm
I went to MDI-MD immediately after that (I refuse to work for MQ). D made a few remarks about Carole, how she always said she would never sell and then did ...... and now I guess D heard the call of the almighty dollar as well. I can't honestly blame them. If I had worked hard all of my life and built up something and someone offered me a gazillion $$$ for it, I would figure I had earned it, sell, and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Still, I feel sorry for the MDI folks now. I am now at Keystrokes, praying that they are not the next company to be gobbled up.
Guess I'm tired, too, should be "employee"
nm
Keyword is "employee." Employer can demand any
x
Does anyone know if Medware hires for IC positions or is it just "employee" status?
Thanks !!
My Praises
I agree with you wholeheartedly. The appreciation and the kindness that Transtech shows their employees is genuine...I can attest to that. It's not fake or superficial. I look forward to being the best I can be and doing the best I can do first and foremost for myself/home/family and for TransTech as well. I have never been at a job before where I did not absolutely dread going into work, especially after being off 2 days. It's not that way with TransTech. On my days off I find myself coming in here and looking at my computer contemplating on whether or not to sign in and get a few extra lines. They are that way. If you want them they will find somewhere for you to get more lines. I love it here. As for the insurance thing from earlier in the week. This is going on EVERYWHERE. My husband's insurance went up $7.17 more a pay period for single coverage than mine did. Everyone I know has had increases in their insurance. It's the insurance companies having to make up for the high cost of medical care these days. There are more people than ever on welfare and government assistance and this is just a ripple effect. Hospitals have increased their prices because of this problem (among many others) that ripples down to the insurance companies having to pay out more and that ripples down to the consumer having to pay more for their premiums. So, it's not a remote thing, it's everywhere. I love my job and will stay on as long as they will have me.
singing their praises
I work for them part time and I gotta tell ya, it's the best place. No ESLs and sooooo easy. Everyone is super nice and very professional.
Well, I for one have sung their praises, but (sm)
I never said there were no ESLs. Every account has them, but I always get a mix. Just a thought, but do you suppose some of us might be more familiar with doing ESLs?? Something to ponder. What to someone else might seem like a hard dictator to me might be a cinch.
Nobody asked you to sing for us. n/m
t
When I can confirm my new job, I will sing the name of this company
nm
Ok, I won't. It IS hard to sing over the whining.
nm
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.
To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.
Found it! (nm)

I was not impressed, it took a long time to learn, and the training the pits.
OK, I found it
Thanks I will check that out!
I found some...
I finally found some fairly current posting about OSI. I had to go back to page 20 or so. However, if anyone wants to add anything new, I would love to read about it. Thanks.
What I found -
Most accounts have plenty of horrible ESL docs. There is also lack of work on a very regular basis. Pay is on time and seems to be correct. Communication, when there is any, is often rude, stinging, and nasty for no reason whatsoever other than *someone* is having a bad day. You decide for yourself.
Found it!!
Never mind, unless someone has updated information. I just did a search and found past posts on this company.
That's what I found odd..It was never really an ad..
It really was just someone on the job seeker's board, a Baspen or something saying that some company had contacted her about a traveling job and she was passing on the information. So, no company ever came and did an ad themselves, just supposedly an MT with information. The next thing you know, she is saying the position is filled Now, if she was only just an MT who was asked about a job she didn't want, what is her angle advertising on here for them. I found it odd and thinks this person solicited resumes for whatever reason. I am not sure why it was even allowed on the job board as I do not feel it was very legit.
Thanks! Found it.
I have to buy it. Thought someone could tell me how to delete words/lines at a time, etc.
Let me tell you what I have found about VR
I am on VR and thankful, very thankful a lot of the ESLs on there - the reason is their dictation actually comes out better on VR than hearing yourself. If they have a medication VR is really able to get in a way I never could have imagined. I would not worry about VR being able to get their voices- what I think will probably happen in your job is any and all dictators probably going to VR and then the money for transcribing drops, tremendously. A lot of places trying to do away with straight (the nationals) and get VR.
I have found it
by just typing in MD-IT Transcrip;ton Service. Their website came up.
Found it, is this it?
The company I have been working for for about a year decided they were not going to pay this pay period because they claimed they did not get paid because of bad transcriptions and they were looking to see who were behind the bad transcriptions and then pay next pay period, which is a month after the work is completed as it is. Also, the work has been under 100% QA, so how could there be bad transcriptions still getting through? Does anyone know if there are legal remedies, as they owe me three paydays if they decide to not pay me.
Think I found it
Do they hire employee or just IC?
I think I found it! Thanks!
I founds some discussion.
We only found out...sm
...in December. I'm sure the whole thing had been going on for a while, but they didn't tell us MTs until December and gave us about 2-3 weeks' notice. The conference calls were very helpful and informative, however. Made the whole process easire. My TL would always send us emails letting us know what was going on and what to expect...which was not much change from what we were doing already, except for how we report our time/lines. I just wish we didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again (W-4, I-9, etc.). The HIPPA and Transcend-specific paperwork I understand, but the others I wish would have just been transferred over. I'm not privy to how that process works, so I just do what I'm instructed to do.
Not sure about the not sending work to India thing. I believe that Transcend does send work overseas, but it's a small percentage from what they told us.
found it. thank you so much. nm

After 26 yr doing this I have found..
that if a co is paying this way, they are not paying well... the better companies are up front and do it by 65 char line.. no confusin formulas :)
wish I could have found you when sm
I was hiring MTs several years ago!
I would think by now you would have found another job.
Wasting time complaining here.
Here is what I found on ANP ....
I don't know this company and have not seen an ad posted for them, however, when I goggled them I found these 2 sites that are extremely alarming for anyone that would want to apply with them ....
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/334/RipOff0334462.htm
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/173/RipOff0173596.htm
While these reports are older, it does send up warning flags, in my opinion.
found a little more...
I would recommend, once again, just using the words of: 'company name' acquisition 'company name'

I think I found it but....
It is for sales not for a transcriptionist.
... I found myself a new job NOT MT, but
I probably wouldn't trust the offer you just threw out there. Cynical MT that I am! It looks like something I'd see on a telephone pole (and used to see, make $30,000 in your spare time doing medical transcription!
No offense, just how it struck me.
The only link I found
http://www.webnow.com/stattransinc
I found a macro to do this for you.
This is the link to the entire discussion and the macro for Word, but since there are several macros to do it, you can go and copy it and decide which one you want.

never mind, I found them on the sm
internet. They are in Abbeville SC. I have sent for information on their company. I am going to check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Where can this statement be found?
t
I found some stuff, but nothing really about -sm
their flexibility. I may leave an IC job to become an employee and I am really worried about it, not sure that I can do this with 1 child still at home (3-year-old boy). I know there is a BIG difference between IC and employee status. I just don't want to stress myself out too much on a day-to-day basis. By the way, I'm not the OP. I think I will pass though. Flexibility is extremely important to me, at least until my youngest goes to Kindergarten.
Nevermind. Found out they do not. Ah well.

I found a few comments...
from 2005 by using the Search function up above with Chase Transcription...those comments didn't look particularly encouraging so would be interested to hear any current opinions, too. Don't remember for sure, but there may have been some comments a few pages back, will have to do a search page by page forthose since not archived.
