On the job board, SA Wynn Inc is hiring and sound pretty decent. The pay sounds great compared to the others. Go for it!
I know nothing about them, as I am on the East Coast, but I was happy to see the line rates going up from 7 cpl from the other posts.

Working weekends and holidays
Thanks, I'd like to think of myself as a nice person. Unfortunately, the place I work at is a local clinic doing nephrology work. Have you tried locally, maybe you could find something where you wouldn't have to work weekends. And oh, yes, it is paid vacation. After 5 years I get 5 weeks. I have great benefits and a 401K plan, so I'm very thankful.
Maybe, but she specifically says no weekends or holidays
Didn't want her to waste her time when I know one day per weekend is a requirement where we work. Figured she was better off with a company that would accommodate her needs.
Are you requied to work weekends and/or holidays
xx
I don't work weekends or holidays. MT FOR 10 YEARS
NM
MID SIZED COMPANY, NO WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS NM
KRAZY BUT TRUE
My MT job doesn't require holidays or weekends
So I feel incredibly lucky. Not all MT's have to or want to work holidays. It's just a matter of finding the right match.
transcend and differentials, weekends, nights, holidays
what does Transcend pay for these, anyone know?
Working holidays/weekends? I would certainly hope you are committed to
your convictions. Many people do not work holidays but it is not always a choice. If you do not want to work weekends or holidays, but the work must get done. If you are anti-working holidays and weekends, then I hope you do not expect to receive medical care or emergency treatment of any kind, that you do not shop or buy anything on weekends/holidays, do not attend any type of functions where employees must work to create a good environment for you to enjoy your life, do not go to movies, do not go out for dinner, etc. Did you ever think that these people may not want to have to work just to make your life sweet? What hypocrits.
Oops! Meant to say above 'evenings and weekends,' although it happens on holidays too.
Sorry. Just worn out right now.
Their trend is to keep their posts on top over weekends
Their pay is low, so people with a lot of experience never get replies to their applications. They want fresh meat, thus the multiple posts. I think people are figuring out that they aren't all that in the MTSO world. Personally, I would applaud this site for asking them to limit their posts to no more than twice per month, but that would be taking money out of the mouth of the board owners (no offense intended here - business is business and I understand that). It is just getting to the point that seeing these ads are making me stay away from that board and look at jobs on other sites.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
When it rains it pours. Second job offering bonus. FT job offering (sm)
has lots of work and offering opportunity to make up lines/hours from low work during the week. Feel guilty if I don't help main account, but greed motivates me.
I made that working for a national...O/T, weekends...no live, now no O/T or weekends(sm)
so no more big bucks, at least from them...looking for second job to make ends meet, don't have husband to help...this sucks.
What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Sorry. What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Very few MTSOs pay for holidays. Some give you 6 days you can use for holidays or regular PTO, but

How wonderfully refreshing -
Someone who believes we are all real people!! I am really wary now about companies because I gave my all for 5 years with a company working 60 or more hours a week that entire time as an IC. Someone not show up today? Assign it to me. Someone not able to do ESLs? Give them to me. What did I end up with? Being shown the door because the paranoid office manager thought I was after her job!
It's so refreshing to see other companies
discussed rather than the same old big companies all the time. Keep it up!
I am so impressed. What a refreshing change. Thank you!
i find it kind of refreshing...
She is to the point, gives the bottom line, and lets you choose to pursue the job or not, no time wasted on her or your end. It seems she's had experience with this and doesn't want to waste valuable time that could be spent elsewhere... my mentor who got me started 20+ years ago told me that for every 100 applicants, maybe 1 would be qualified, so I can relate to this person's statements...
Your honesty is refreshing,Tonya.
Thank you for posting, and thanks for being so forthright.
I like your attitude...Common sense is so refreshing!!! (NM)
:D
Holidays - Is there any company who pays holidays?
Are there companies (like in the old days) who pay you for Christmas, NY, Thanksgiving, etc., MAJOR HOLIDAYS?
Trust me.. I have come from a lot of "crappy" jobs that is why it was so refreshing to hear so
excitement over the possibility of another job.. one that may be a great hidden treasure. I just think it is great when people never lose that newbie enthusiam even after some not-so-great experiences. I admire you totally and best wishes.. I hope this is the job you have looked for..If so, sign me up LOL

On the contrary, I find your post refreshing and true. sm
I agree whole-heartedly that MTSOs AND MTs are in it for a paycheck. It's not personal. If you don't like your employer's treatment, find another company where their style is more to your liking.
what a clear, honest and refreshing post, thanks, Alice..nm

How much are they offering?nm
x
they are offering
almost .085 cpl. which is amazing but I hear that 50 to 80% of the work is VR and the pay for that is 70% of what your hiring line rate is.
What is with offering less than 1/2 for VR? Have any of these sm
... people who decide wages ever done this job?!? Do they know what it takes to make it in this business? Or, are they like many other people out there thinking we just type what we hear?
Signed,
So Annoyed!
Yes. When the recuiter was offering me
the position I told her I wanted to work evenings and one day on the weekend. She said, "Oh, I didn't realize you wanted to work during those times. I can bump you up." We talked on a bit about how things work with MQ and stuff and then I asked what the offer was and she said she my test scores were 99% (?I guess on both the transcription part and the click-the-answer part..lol) and she asked if I would be happy with 9.5 cpl. I asked if that included incentive and she said that would be my base rate and that incentive would be on production, paid on each check.
I see on the QNet page a payroll schedule that shows a bonus every 3 months but mine is paid on my check instead.
For ME, I was happy with that and took it and ran! I felt very excited about it.
The DQS thing, it is slow to get logged into but once it is up and running I really like it. Everything is at your fingertips, name lists, account information, and the Expander is easy to use. I have had to learn to not use macros -- at least I don't know how to do them on this if you can.
I start at 6 pm and type until midnight. My first couple of nights I was REALLY REALLLLLYY slow. I started picking up though. I get about 1400 to 1600 lines in a night most nights. Sometimes, if I have work that isn't the account I'm on, I might get 1000. I really have to stick with it though.
So far, I really like it. Apparently some people don't, by their silly posts above. Oh well.
Or else the company is offering
referral bonuses.
I'd like to know what pay scale she is offering. NM
NM
And yet, ANOTHER company offering
But wait. They have several incentives. Who the heck could afford to put into a 401k at .005 per line??? COME ON PEOPLE, GET REAL. Stop trying to jack the MT's for heaven's sake.
Companies offering IC
Does anyone know of any companies where you can still be an IC, and they take your taxes out? I loved being an IC, and would like to go back that way again.
Nevada? If so, in 2/07 were offering 7 cpl and using

Exactly - TransTech is not even offering OT now
She obviously can't make quota, is pulling this trick and trying to blame TransTech. Shame on her.
Mind if I ask what MQ was offering?
I left them a few months ago, partly because of the pay, and I'm just curious what they're offering new hires.
I thought they said in their ad they were offering 0.08 cpl?
Is this the same ad on the job seeker's board that I seen? What a bunch of liars they are if they post one rate and then offer another.
Actually they are offering it, must be a catch, but they

I have seen companies offering 10 cpl on the job ads.
Focus for one pays 10 cpl (5 for editing) for employees if you work night shift.
She was only offering reassurance, not - sm
touting. I have been with Transcend for 8 years and I can only remember maybe a rare occasion when there was no work, and it was welcoming for me. As far as us having all of MDI-MD’s work; I don’t recall every working on one of their accounts, in fact I have had the same 4-5 accounts for as long as I can remember, and they will give me more if I want it; all I have to do is ask. You may be feeling like MDI-MD sold you out, but give Transcend a chance, it might be better, but you will never know unless you try.
cascas: what national is offering 11 CPL?
thanks 
Any suggestions on companies offering--
part-time or full-time 3rd shift radiology positions?
Is the NWU offering medical insurance again?
I had great insurance at a great rate through them years and years ago, then they dropped it because the cost was prohibitive. If they are offering it again, I applaud them. They are a good union and very unconfrontational, well spoken (guess that's a mute point, eh?) but still don't have the big bucks it would take to promote the MT industry on the level that is needed. Almost every American MT would need to join and NWU would need to find a lobbying group to help.

I would consider it a low average right now. Look at the ads to see what they're offering. nm

That is PATHETIC! Co is offering an IC position
at 5 cpl (yes, 5 cpl for an IC!!!!) with a POSSIBLE raise to 6 cpl in 90 days. That's the worst I've seen yet. I sincerely hope noone stoops as low as to accept that kind of pay.
It's more than what Cort Medical was offering at first. Is anyone still with them? nm
s
They are offering this same wage to QA people
with megayears of experience. That is my point!
In Florida? Are they still offering only 7 cpl with NO spaces?? nm
s
guess it would depend on what they are offering to
pay. I am paid with spaces and only get 7.5 cents...so,,...just say the highest you think you are worth and see what they offer.
Last year they were offering 7 cpl with NO spaces. nm
