I used to get 1200 or more per day.  Then they fiddled with the line counter and after that, my lines dropped to 700-900 a day.  No matter what I did, I never got close to the 1200 a day. When I asked them how many hours I could work during the day, they told me I could NOT work more than 8 hours. So after after a while, I became very depressed, even a little paranoid, and just couldn't take the low pays any more and quit. I'm still trying to dig out of the hole money-wise that they helped dig. I should have quit earlier than I did, but tried to hang in there hoping things would get better. I did like it there.

BTW, I was on an account that at 90% ESL. The instant messaging and mandatory conference calls and/or voluntary conference calls drove me up the wall after a while.

I will agree, their holidays and benefits are pretty decent and some of the people were great to work with. Also, the nice thing about IM'g was that you knew you weren't alone and you could always get an answer to a question almost instantly  by IM'g somebody else.  They are also VERY supportive and understanding when it comes to family problems.

This is just me. You may love it there. You may have great everything. The only thing I can say is try it. There's always those 2 little words I quit.

Let me get this straight.  They want you to read the entire report (which is considered working in my book), and there are no corrections, then you have just done them a favor?  What do they take us for?

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a company that has medical insurance for its employees.  The company I work for now has just screwed us on the medical insurance and I am looking elsewhere.  Thanks. NM

I just want to remind everyone that the insurance coverage with a a company is very important, especially when single.  Do ask about the deductible.  Due to medical crisis, I faced 10 grand in medical bills which only added more stress to a very stressful situation.  And, that basically takes 10 thousand off my yearly income. 

Good insurance coverage means so much, especially when there is not a secondary ins. in place.

Just wanted to share this.  :)

Can anyone working for Transcend tell me the employee's cost for insurance?  For example, how much per paycheck is taken out if you want to cover just yourself (no husband or dependents) for medical, dental and,vision (I have been told they offer all 3).  Thanks for your answers.

I just want to say to the "get a life poster" that I am glad you did state your hours.  Not that you werent clear on your very first post about how you reach your goals, but it makes me feel better to know that someone who seems as experienced as you has to work those kind of hours to get in what you want.  I am working my way to 20,000 lines a pay and am encouraged by you and your posts.  I think that you have a great attitude about your posts, your work, and our career as MTs as a whole. 

Also, I want to state that I work my shift but there isn't any work on the system them, I will type when there is.  They told us to do that in the email that was sent out.  They said in that email that we should try getting on in the early morning hours or  night hours and see if there is work on there.  They suggested being flexible in our shifts during the slow period.  I feel that we all have the same ability to adjust our schedule and our lives if it is important enough to feed our family and do what we have to do. 

If any MT does work over and above their scheduled shift to get a great line count with permission, it is because Transcend sees that some MTs are willing to do what is needed to get the job done.  That is why these MTs get the support and flexibiltiy from the company to do that.  If an MT is not flexible and helpful to the company, then I guess the company wont go the extra mile for them.  That is just the way I see it.

You could never figure the line rate with VR out with Transcend --- it was different with each person and when you did hear the formula, you would need to be a math whiz from Princeton to figure out the percentages of everything.  It would always turn out 1/2 of what I would make straight typing.  So probably Medquest is paying better on that for sure because I surely didn't make twice what you are saying is the rate for Medquest.  They may have their faults and pay less for straight typing but for VR that isn't bad at all.   Once you get going if you lose the dang mouse, you pull down twice the lines or more than with straight typing.
