Indians...Are they really that good?
What good does it do? They've lied, they've betrayed us.
They've taken all they are going to take from me. I am not going to waste any more time being angry. I hate the way things ended, but I refuse to accept the blame for any part of it because I know that was a lie too, even though they did try to blame the MTs. I know part of the problem was quality issues, but QA wasn't to blame for that either, although they have been.
It is time to pick up and move on. I think mgmt will reap what they sow. For those who worked on the main account Webmedx is still hiring, though the best time slots have already been taken.
I've been an MT for 28 and it has been good
teach one of our daughters, 21 years old, who doesn't know what she wants to do, MT. I told him no way. For one, she can make a lot more money as a waitress/bartender than she would be able to make typing the same hours, especially when first starting. And the future doesn't look so bright for MT, so I'd rather she just decide on something, get a degree, and go with that and not get sidetracked by MT like I did. I can't say I haven't made a lot of money with MT (own accounts for many years now), but if I hadn't had that, I probably would have gone back to school and finished my degree.
So far, so good! I've been with them only a short while, but
I'm very pleased so far. Steady work, low to average DSL's, paid right on time, fantastic platform. Negatives are that the do offshore to Phillipines (but haven't seen any impact on work load or type of work that I get) and paid only for characters and headers - no spaces. Even with the no spaces, the wonderful platform makes up for it. So far, it's great but I worked for a company in the past that yanked the rug out after a few months. So far, no indication of that at Cymed though. Good luck in whatever choice you make though.
I've never been good at doing the math... SM
Thanks for doing it for me. The definitely is way too low.
I've seen mostly good things on here...
I just signed on with them and am excited to get started. :D
I've never worked for such a good company
I was contacted immediately after I tested. I wanted part-time work at night to try them out, so I worked 20 hours a week for them. After a month, I quit my other full-time job and went with them full-time. I've never seen such a fast platform. The benefits are incredible compared to other companies and the work is excellent. Good communication and accessability with co-workers and supervisors. Extra bonuses for what we had to do normally at other jobs. Direct deposit. company contributions to 401K. Earn vacation money from your first day on the job, and you don't lose it when/if you leave. I'm extremely happy with them.
i've heard nothing good about transolutions

Either would be a good choice. I've worked for both.
In the archives, both companies have good and bad comments. You have to weigh one against the other and whether you think someone is just disgruntled or not. Both are better than MQ or Sph.
I've heard good things about both...sm
but which one pays better? I'm curious to know too as I thought about applying for eMTS. Let us know. TIA
I've been there for 3 years - yes, good company
xx
Pretty good from what I've heard...
A friend of mine works for them. Said they are strict on accuracy and line counts but are also somewhat flexible in schedule.
I've head a lot of good things...sm
About Axolotl. Do you happen to have any info. on which specialties they are hiring for? I haven't seen any job ads for them.
I also heard something about them not paying for spaces. Can you comment on that?
Thank you!
I've heard good things about MDI.
Sorry, I'm not part time so that's all I can offer. Felt I should write something as poster below didn't seem to realize this company board is for asking and discussing companies.
I've been there a few years. I think it's a good company.
Although I feel that ALL MT pay is far too low, Acusis pays better than most. Several accounts are teaching hospitals, some regular hospitals, and some clinics. Most of the time they have plenty of work, except right after the Holidays.
I find the management to be VERY nice to work with - a welcome change from my old situation, which was horrible. Excellent techs, too. The SoftScript platform they use works well. Sound quality is good. If you email a supervisor or other person there, I've found they respond in a timely manner.
The pay varies based on the account; more for harder ones, less for easy ones. They ask for feedback from MTs, and are appreciative to get it.
Anyway, judging by what I read on this board about other companies, I think one reason you don't hear much about Acusis is that most people that work for them are happy with them.
Good question - I've always wondered that myself.
I don't think the companies want us to know how work is assigned, though.
TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM
about them, but am going to start with a very open mind. I am looking forward to it.

Any good info on MDI-FL. Do they have IC status? I've been searching for sm
the past 15 minutes and have found nothing!! I read somewhere someone said you have to have tough skin to work for MDI-FL. I wonder what this means! :)
Thanks to anyone with any info on this company. Trying to leave MQ and make some decisions here. Help out a fellow MT. Love ya. LOL
I've always heard if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. n/m

Do you mean Axolotl? If so, I've heard many good things about them. nm

I've had a lot of bad ones...finally found one that's pretty good sm
It is a struggle though!! I have worked for several that stunk up the place!! LOL Been cheated on line counts, etc. My best advice is to see if there are any companies near you, smaller, home-based MTSOs who have fewer employees. A way where you can actually get to know your employer. I found one not far from my house who advertised on Craigslist and she has been pretty good to work with.
You'll get over the good feelings. I've been here over a year now. (sm)
And if you had seen the subtle changes they have been making, you may agree they are moving in the direction of becoming the new MQ (pre sale to India).
TSSC is really good. I've worked for other nationals and haven't been let down by them. nm
Bet no good QA now - they've chased them away by bouncing checks and lying.
:-(
I've heard good and bad, just want facts from the horses mouth.
I have also heard great things about this company, only recently have I heard bad things. If they post on this message board they supposedly do not offshore work. The moderator would definitely have something to say about that, don't you think?
Does that make sense to you?
I've been looking for years. It's always a mix anymore. Good stuff gets kept in house. nm
s
I've been there a couple of years and it has been a good fit for me, very flexible with my schedu
as long as production is being met. We are definitely a growing company and sounds like you have the experience that we need. Paychecks have been always on time for me, direct deposit.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
Good for you. I've gained 10 pounds since high school graduation in 1976.
It has nothing to do with Indians
It has to do with any MT of any nationality that will accept to work for peanuts. We had that saying IN-HOUSE back in the day before anyone had heard of off-shoring. Please don't try to look for racist meanings when there are none. What the saying means is that if you pay little enough, you will get a worker (no matter the nationality) who has the knowledge and abilities of a monkey. I have known plenty of that variety right here in the good old US of A.
I think that's because you don't have to pay the Indians to sign on - sm
and yes, I am being sarcastic!! :)
The Idots are the Indians.
What about editing the Indians?
nm
indians editing
THat is not true.... we QA editors never get Indian work, and some companied they get edited twice India and then final editing in US, and it is still crappy.
I'm sure the Indians who devised it, will not
xxxxxxxxx
if you like working for Indians you will like it.
all Indian all the time.
Indians = monkeys?
Regardless of how I feel about Indian outsourcing, that's a snide remark.
GIVE IT TO THE INDIANS
You are so right. And to take it further I have to say, we as MTs let this happen. Granted, it was the old frog in the pot situation, but the water is boiling now and it's time to JUMP OUT! MTs as a whole simply need to REFUSE to put up with all this cra...nonsense.
I only work my own accounts, as well as some work for a wonderful, small service owner. I tried Spheris and Transolutions a few years back only to experience all the horrors lamented on these boards, and quit both of them in a matter of 2 or 3 weeks. Life's too short to be miserable and broke. You're not making any money anyway!!!!! Have you ever figured out your hourly wage? Especially when you're sitting there all hours just hoping some work will come in! This has been going on for so long, it's pretty clear that it's not going to change, so LET THE INDIANS HAVE IT!!!
Unbelievable! The Indians
can't even MT very well, much less do QA!!! What's this business coming to...
I'd rather edit Indians than VR because sm
I did that and made a lot more money on it than VR. They actually get all the words right except our slang.
Blame it on the Indians! LOL ! Like everything else! LOL..nm
nm
Well, they better have lots of Indians, as I don't

Kentucky Indians. nm
How can you NOT KNOW you were training Indians?
The dialect did not give it away? The lack of knowledge of the English language was not telling?
COME ON!
Does it matter if it is being RAN or RUN by Indians..same outcome
Get over it..
not sure of the exact # but there are more Indians than Americans
nm
Of course we are the goldstars - just as the Indians are with their own kind, etc.
Ya gotta think global though.
Let the Indians work holidays for OSI
$*#@^%
Why are you making Indians scapegoats SM
for United States greed? My company has more MTs in India than in the United States. The list of US hospitals that prefer the company send reports to India is shocking and makes me sick. But India is doing more to bring business to their country than we are to ours. Whose fault is that? It sure as heck is not the Indians.
Working for Indians is a pain.........sm
They are rude and they love to talk down to you, especially women....they think they know every damn think about everything and don't know squat.
Indian men are A holes!
But "Kentucky-based" Indians …. nm
