Majority of comments here are very negative about them. nm

Search with Google box on this page. Much, much negative info

Just how many companies have you worked for? You seem to have comments on all of them, all negative
perhaps it's time to look in the mirror and fix what is wrong with YOU. You have such a negative attitude, I doubt you will be happy anywhere. Check the past few pages of reports and see how many posts this person has made about just about every company mentioned. SHEESH.
Better do a boad search as most comments are very negative. They used to be TSI. nm

Very disheartening for MTSO's to see negative comments
It does not encourage me to come up with new carrots to dangle. Please... give us your wish list.
SoftScript - look in the archieves. Very negative comments.
Doesn't seem like a well run company.
A search shows very negative comments and you have to use their computer. nm

I think majority of negative comments start when work is low and
they start looking for another job. I, for one, would rather be too busy and have to work an extra hour or 2 than not to have any work. Overhiring is the death of all of us, since we do not have a guaranteed income unless you are a team leader or hourly employee.
Failure to pay on time is another large problem that will produce negative comments.
If companies were actually above-board with the problems at their company before the hiring process is completed, a lot of this could be avoided.
Posts found on a search have only negative comments. nm

Sten-Tel does the late first pay thing. Comments about Task have been negative. nm

Gee, I only make negative comments about companies I've actually worked for
and have the scoop on. I never said the line rate was high for this company, but nice fast software is what saves a good MT's line count. There are plenty of ESLs too, but no more than most acute care hospitals. So if you can't handle ESLs, you wouldn't want to work for TT (or most other hospital accounts). The new accounts are not teaching hospitals, which is good for me because I don't like doing residents. For now there is plenty of work and OT when you want it. So IMO a starting line count isn't the only important factor for how much money I can make, and certainly not the only factor in my job contentedness. They are fair and respectful and use good software, and those are the facts, not theories.
Lots of negative posts if you do a search. nm

A search here turns up lots of negative information.
Best of luck with your continued job search. 
They offshore, lots of comments lately about
disorganized they are, keep changing how they pay as far as for lines, big deducts for errors, etc. The owner is offering a $2500 sign on bonus, which is a red flag. She seemed very nice (I was offered an MT position and later a QA position, both of which I declined), but I really haven't heard anything good about the company otherwise.
Search the board here. Lots of comments! nm

They offshore...not about abuot India, but definitely to the Phillipines....

Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
Try to be less negative? There is only negative here. It is a depressing way to start the day but

Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm
Lots and lots of work. You will love

Lots lots, cuz I prefer

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.
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.
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,

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

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...
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?
My experience was negative
but it was a while ago... so things may be different now.
