Thank you. I had to ask because of all the negs (sm)
I've been out of the swing of things with regard to employer reputations and now find myself out here looking for a job again so I wondered what made them so bad. Thank you for sharing your experience. I know from personal experience that no company is one size fits all but when a company doesn't work for anybody it is a red flag (and conversely if they are really really good, they are never hiring and you never hear of them!) 
2 negs were inability to see what's in your que & not being able to reject

How many positives are new?
Speaking to non-salaried, straight MT's now; no fair responding as QA, a recruiter, or those in special favor because of top production status, just your average to above average producer. Not that I don't aim higher, but average indicates the majority.
So, if what JMO said is accurate at all, the positive posts from newbies would only confirm what she is saying - that the newbies are "well-fed" with special incentives, higher rates coming in, etc., and the old are put out to pasture, despite skill level, tenure, or extra time given, unless you are a top producer, is that the general gist?
Any non-new, non-specialized averge to above average MTs that have been at Transcend a while with an overall positive opinion? And those of you who were not happy with Transcend, where did you go and why is it better?
the positives
can be found i'm sure in the searches here. It is a solid company with high standards and respect from clients and workers. QA is good and kind in delivery of comments. Decent accts. Good pay. Very standardized accounts. Simple platform. 24-hour window to work. You're left alone to do your job. You set your line count obligation, and if you get done in less than 8 hours, you can be done. No time clock. No hassles. its a breath of fresh air! in this MT world of ours.
i wonder about all the positives we always see
I hope the company has changed for the better. However, I know that not too long ago, there were many problems at KS. And I also remember that anytime someone posted something negative about KS here, the owner would get on and post under different names. I wonder.........
positives
Two things only: They seem pretty fair and pay on time. Nothing else.
DIT Positives Please
I would like to hear some positive things about DIT. I know that someone has had a positive experience with them so please email me about it. Thanks in advance
Any positives out there on Chartscript....
Any positives about Proveros?
All I see are negatives about Proveros. Anybody work there that is happy? Low ESL, plenty of work? Anything?
Just because someone posts positives about a company....sm
doesn't mean they're in management, and you're presuming that someone who posts a positive is a manager is pretty ludicrious. There are plenty of MTs out there happy with their employer... even some folks happy with MQ even with all of the legal problems that company has ongoing.
Unless someone makes a statement about someone in particular at a company that is completely false then there would be no reason for anyone to request a trace to find out who a poster is. For example, on most internet boards anywhere you can say something like "XYZ company stinks" and be OK, but if you said something like "XYZ's payroll department paid me only a fraction of my earnings and failed to correct the problem" without proof to support your statement then you could be potentially held liable for posting false information. If you did have proof of in this instance a payroll problem and proof of where it was attempted to be resolved then you'd be safe.
There are plenty of positives with this company
and as always you should take negatives with a grain of salt. One person's experience may not be your own.
:)
Quite the opposite. I have found mostly positives. sm
I started 4 months ago and so far, so good. When I was doing research, it seemed that all the negative posts were from the same 2 or 3 people, one in particular that harps on no raises and no OT pay. Everyone I have talked to at KS and other MT's that I know at KS all say the opposite is true; they do give raises and do not expect you to work OT. When the do ask you to, they often say holiday pay, which means 1-1/2 times your regular rate, just like OT pay. I did get my raise at 90 days, as promised. I do have the work I need to get the lines I need to make the checks that I need, so I am happy. The training was excellent, and the QA feedback helpful not spiteful.
Transcend Services Positives and Negatives
Positives and negatives?
You have very valid points, and I'm going to try to work more on the positives. nm

Thanks You. It is nice to hear positives on Transcend since they (sm)
Will be my employer. I am trying to stay positive throughout the process, and not follow the rumors of paycuts, etc. on the boards. I will just wait and see what happens, and if I don't like the terms then I will look elsewhere.
The only thing I am upset about is possibly not working on Bayscribe anymore. Hope we get to keep using it at for our accounts.

So LEAVE ALREADY. nm
I will leave it, thank you very much
through these 2 rotten companies, I finally have found a good company, one that appreciates my work (which is very good) and one that does not lie to me or steal lines!!! So take that!!
Why did you leave?
Or do you still work for them? I had the same experience - just sent my paperwork back, but haven't heard anything, including training date, etc.
Leave it alone. I(SM)
If you don't like what they posted, that's fine. You have no right whatsoever to harass them for it and yes, that is exactly what you were doing.

leave your job
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, don't do it!:)
why did you leave
Transtech?
see below, and please leave me alone, if you have nothing
meaningful or thoughtful to post.
Thank you.
Why did I leave? SM
1. Lack of tech support. Computer once was down for 3 days before tech support finally got in touch with me -- despite my leaving 2 messages.
2. Cut in pay for ASR work. Line rates for ASR work were reduced by approximately 50% compared to straight transcription line rate. PTO accrual rate also almost cut by 50%.
3. Lack of communication. E-mails, not always but occasionally, will never be answered. I figured out this usually happens when they don't know the answer and don't want to admit they don't.
4. Nasty people at the Help Desk. You are required to have your IM turned on while working. If Help Desk needs a stat done, they can get very nasty with you if you don't get it done in what they feel is a timely fashion, its the end of your shift, or for some reason it doesn't fall into your cue.
why did you leave?

Please don't leave
We are not all malcontents. I, too, have worked for different hospitals and understand your reasoning. Hang in there - some of us don't blast (at least not very often).
leave
By staying there you are giving them life. Quit now. Anyone who works under those conditions can only blame themselves. Companies can't **** employees like garbage if there are no employees.
let's all leave
Okay all you TTers, let's leave this board for good. We know we have a good thing at TT.
Why did you leave? nm

Why did you leave?
Just wondering if you don't mind...
You can always leave
Some of us like our jobs. And I'm not the only rah-rah.
And for your information I don't get paid anything extra. I'm just not as jaded. Sorry 'bout your luck.
BTW...
It's funny how much you'll talk about the company and the director without putting your name. Bet you wouldn't say the same thing if we we're in an office where there was a face with those comments!
I would not leave
I work for a small company as an IC. The company knows IC means I work when I can or want to. I have no set schedule. That is #1 importance to me. But aside from that, the account I work on is really nice. I have run out of work on occasion, but it is not a regular thing and seems to happen mostly when someone new is hired. The new people seem to go in and work around the clock, taking work from those of us who have been there longer and tending to be the cherry pickers, which annoys me somewhat, but that usually dies down within a couple of weeks and then things get back to normal, with enough work for everyone. There are some ESL dictators but not a ton, and many of those are easily understood. The owners of the company are really easy people to work with, very understanding, etc. The pay is always on time, and I feel I earn decent pay for what I do and I feel like I am valued there. I would not leave them now or otherwise.
Now my second job is a whole different story. I work as a coder for a large hospital, and i would leave in a heartbeat if I could. I work from home and again have no set schedule but do have to work xx number of hours each week; I just pick the times to work. That is it's only advantage. The work is demanding and difficult. We get no respect for it at all. The stress is incredible as we work on a production standard that is virtually impossible to meet. We have 0, that's right 0, people in our group who meet the standard, and we have 27 coders. The expectations are unachievable, and we are constantly pressured to do more and more and more but we get less and less and less in return. Sounds familiar? However, this is the job that provides benefits for myself and my hubby, so I am stuck there for time eternal (or until Medicare kicks in for us). In my lifetime, I have always enjoyed working, but this is truly the first time I could say I hate my job and mean it wholeheartedly. That is why I feel for so many of the MTs out there who are stuck in situations that are making them miserable. Considering the amount of time an individual spends working, shouldn't we be able to feel good about what we do?
Why would you leave?
Why would you leave a perfectly good job that you like because two companied merged? Why not wait to see how it works out? I've worked for Transcend for five years and for the most part they are a good company...it would work AGAINST them to take you off your regular accts and put you on unknown accts then train people to work your accts. Their goal is to get the lines done and done well. Pay is above most companies and you do get paid for major holidays. There is PTO, benefits and 401K. Please don't do something foolish, especially in this economy.
why don't they just leave us alone to do
our job and put this wasted research money into something worthwhile?? Why don't they put it into finding a cure for cancer or something?
If YOU think you are a G.P. then YOU can leave.
matters what the person who percieves herself as a G.P. thinks, and if she WANTS to stay or go.
Please go find your new job and leave it be
I figured there would be a post on here after the forum. But let's not make it out to be more than it was. There was 1 post. That is because people's names are shown on the company forum. And on MT Stars, who knows how many posts are from the same few people. If Transcend was so bad, you would think that it would not be prospering as it is. I work there, I love it. I have had NO problems, NADA. I am not the only one either. I am sick of hearing the bashing. I am sure that there are problems there, as anywhere, but they are a good place to work and compared to some companies, a great place to work. If you want the "perfect" job, I guess you will never be happy. Sometimes you just need to be realistic and a little less spoiled.
Job offer from MDI-FL should I leave OSi for them?
By the way it's a VR job, suffering from ulnar nerve entrapment and looking for options.
