Just because one person had a negative experience...s/m

Does not mean that things will work that way for everyone, and I hope that everyone will remember that. I personally have never had any problems at all with anyone thus far at Transcend. I have had occasion to ask for an additional account or two, and have never been removed from my original accounts, but allowed to back into the other ones when work was low.
When I first cross-trained on these other accounts on this other platform, they asked me if I wanted to switch completely, but I simply told them I wasn't comfortable with that and that was the end of that discussion.
This other platform is a heavy VR platform, and it isn't BeyondTXT, but I have not found that I have lost a lot of money, as I can produce much more in an hour on VR. I average around 200-300 lines an hour on a straight typing account, and 400-600 on a VR account, so it evens out, really.
For those of you facing being merged with Transcend, please take everything you read with a grain of salt, and remember that your mileage may vary significantly from that of what others have experienced. It has been my experience that every situation will be what I make of it, and not to base my plans and decisions on what others have seen.

The only negative posts lately have been from the same person...
hard to say something negative about a company when you don't work there...
Because one person can have multiple negative posts
nm
So your experience was not negative?
I thought they sounded decent until I read these posts, and was disappointed. I don't want to go out of the frying pan and into the fire. The only thing holding me back is I'm not sure I want to commit to FT.
I also had a negative experience here
She would never commit to a position with me even though I have 20 years' experience. I tried again with her another time and same modus operandi...
My experience was negative
but it was a while ago... so things may be different now.
Personally had a very negative experience.
Platform - antiquated. Supervisors - a mess. Account - not much better. I was extremely disappointed, but should have posted here first. Generally a negative consensus. I was a hospital employee, which is supposed to be the best, as opposed to their other offer of Diskriter employee. No thanks. Oh, yes, also very old equipment and unstable system. Wish there was a positive I could share, but I don't personally have one.
I know of someone that had a very negative experience with them and moved on right away. nm

Ever person's experience is different.
That being said, my experience with them stunk like limburger cheese on a hot tin roof. The pay was paltry. Their platform was very slow, and I found myself sitting there all day doing nothing while waiting for someone to put work in my queue. Then they expected me to work evenings and nights to get the work done when I was hired for first shift, not second or third. The QA person had evidently never taken a grammar course. And I can't forget being threatened with legal action and withholding of my pay.
Anyone have experience with Milner? Looking for a new job and had one person recommend them
so I thought I would come here to ask around before applying. Thank you
Try to be less negative? There is only negative here. It is a depressing way to start the day but
nm
horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.
That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
No negative sm
So......okay. Send her to Andrews, she may as well get a decent education for her money.
Why is everyone so negative?
Life is too short to complain. Just pray about it and it will all work out the way it is supposed to.
negative
is anyone ever positive on this board. you have to draw your own conclusions. you have to look out for number one, yourself.
Negative
Read the contract carefully - you are responsible for covering your agreed upon shift if for any reason you can't work it yourself.
They really just seem to be contracting out the work to other businesses, which is OK I guess, but not very practical for the individual IC.
They may have changed the contract, but when I questioned this and a couple of other items, that's when communication ground to a stop.
not just that she said something negative - sm
they have to prove the content has cost them. and we do have a right to voice our opinion no matter what. like it or not.
Not all positive but not all negative..
At least I stayed busy with them and not sittling idly waiting for work like now.
NEGATIVE POSTS...SM
And your post of being tired of complaining and negative posts isn't a complaint in itself?
I think you just have a negative attitude. Why
Actually, you sound like one of those people who complain about everything. I am really sorry for you. Wish you could be happy too!!
And on top of everything else you have no idea what you are talking about. You have been proven wrong on here at least 2 times.
This is how negative things
spread that may not be true. I also work for Sten Tel. Can you please look at the information you have and list the name and address of the company that is listed on the paperwork.
negative posts
It's always good to know what you're getting into before it's too late. There are companies out there that are not even mentioned on this board and those are the ones to work for!
I have not heard anything negative at all. nm,
nm
Why is it that any time an MT has a negative
comment to make about a company or one of its supervisors, it always has to be a disgruntled ex-employee?
Not always a negative thing..
I understand and respect your points made. However, as mid-size MTSO, I no longer include my company name when advertising on some sites. I have placed ads and have hired excellent MTs. The first couple of times I advertised and included my business name, it was obvious that people looked up my website for all the contact information. Then my phone and fax started ringing for days, as well as clogging my email. Granted, many were from MTs, but there was a HUGE amount of unwanted solicitation from countless offshore companies, wanna-be-tell-me-how MTs, insurance companies, coffee companies, to name a few. Larger transcription companies probably have the staff to devote time to this, but I do not. I certainly did not mean to offend you or your abilities in any way.
Negative maybe--but true.
While I worked for the company I was paid about every 4 weeks with it stretching to 6 weeks at one point. Often I had to ask when checks would be sent out. I was never paid weekly---not once.
I agree with parts of your post. There were some very good accounts.
As for my negative comments--they are true based on my experience with the company. Good to hear your experience has been better.
Not all negative on Spheris
I have been employed for 1 year and am a happer camper. It just may not be a good fit for everyone. I hope you give them a chance to decide for yourself.
Absolutely nothing negative.
They really are the best of the best!
not the OP, but yes the insurance is a negative
nm
With all the negative posted about them can't believe
anyone is consideringn working for them.
Yes, there is something negative said at one point or another about
it is when you have a lot of people saying the same negative things about a company that you must take notice and that is the case with Focus. It is not just one or two people who have had a negative experience. It is about a boat load of people who were recently lied too and treated badly. It is about a boat load of people who all say they are an Indian run company as recent as a month ago.
Why do people insist on turning a blind eye?
Not being negative when I say they are out of work
I am simply stating that there is no work on my particular account. Doesn't mean they overhire, doesn't mean their a bad company, just means the doctors haven't dictated! But, no work is still, no work.
I didn't say anything negative. ??
I was the one who said her response to you was harsh. :(
Negative WEBMEDX
I agree with you 100%. They are honestly a totally unreasonable company to please and if you don't personally know someone in their company, you can never count on having a job when the next day comes, because they will let you go, as fast you can turn off a light switch without any reason or notice!
Why so negative about Transcend?
I continue to read negative comments about Transcend. If Transcend was such a bad company to work for we wouldn't have so many dedicated employees. I am NOT a suit. MLS is what I am and what I will continue to be at Transcend. I originally came on board with MDI-FL and the company has only gotten better since merging with Transcend. We have 24/7 support, open door policy with CEO, COO and president, company newsletters spotlighting MLS and their hard work. The company always keeps you in the loop. They will take your calls any time day or night. They do make you feel part of a team. I work closely with at least 60 other MLS and none of us step on each others toes. We all do our work and HELP EACH OTHER and never have problems with making $900 ppp. Only the people that don't want to work or not willing to work will not make productivity. Transcend team leads, managers and SUITS treat us all with respect.
What's up with all this India outsourcing? Yes, I am an American. My husband was in the military for 15 years. I am pro America. Fact of the matter is the work needs to be completed. If MLS aren't willing to work 3rd shift or flex (adjust) their schedules, then the work needs to be completed by someone American, Mexican, Chinese, Indian. There are plenty of hospitals that staff their own MLS yet when they are in jam they outsouce their work to us. Guess what, that is probably what Transcend has to do to meet TAT and not pay penalties.
Change is always hard and not easy for a lot of people but to those of you that work at MDI-MD and do read this message board, don't believe everything you read. Stay where you are. Don't quit your job. Its not as bad as other people are making it seem.
Change always comes bearing gifts.
Do you have negative post radar?
There are a ton of positive posts on here so your theory makes no sense. Your problem is that you don't want to hear ANY negative posts. For some reason you take them a little too personally. What's your stake in it to be that annoyed and only want bliss and happiness? Welcome to the real world.
A negative post may be a "cry for help". Maybe
someone has complained all the way up the chain of command and still nothing has been done, so this might be the last resort. MDI is not noted for good communications with their employees and the team leaders they put in are not improving that situation - in fact, may have made it worse.
Yes, yes, and yes. The only negative, IMO, is the voice quality sm
which could be a lot better on the accounts that I do. Other than that, FC is a great company; staff is wonderful.
Negative posts are allowed. (SM)
As long as there is no language or vicious name-calling, etc., positive or negative posts are allowed.
If you are just coming here to cause trouble, however, you probably should post elsewhere.
If you have issues about posting policy, contact the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com).

All the negative posts were removed.
I would have to assume it is because Davis supports mtstars although Davis has never advertised for employment here. They use the 'other' MT job site.
Pay has never been on a timely schedule and comes late no matter what is said differently. There have been many instances of bounced checks. Because of that and problems being able to have work every day, I left there. The pay scale was just re-vamped so I don't know what kind of money can be made. That'll have to be answered by someone else. Maybe with the new payscale payment will be able to be made on a regular, timely schedule.
Things are always changing so who knows? Maybe it would be a good fit. Good luck.
There have been some negative posts about them in the past. nm

They want 1600 lpd and have had some negative posts here before. nm

Majority of comments here are very negative about them. nm

Mostly negative posts on a search. nm

Many negative posts about them if you search. nm

Hmmm... maybe not everyone believes everything negative put forth here
and I know I don't :)
Don't know, but the posts from 2005 about them are quite negative. nm
s
Seems like you have worked everywhere and have something negative to say about every company out the
a quite a few pages of posts as I have been off the board for a few months and your name pops up with something to say about just about every company.
You must be a wonderful person to work with. I am sure your employers love you and your horrible, the sky is falling, attitude.
Maybe it's time for you to leave transcription and find another field but obviously you hate everything about it. How can you live so miserable all the time?
see negative feeback on Spheris
Read back a few pages and see all the negative feedback on Spheris. Don't see how they could be considered.
