One more company (sigh) ScribeRight?

Well, I have been looking and looking.  I have interviews scheduled with Transcend and also Softscript.  I did research here on the boards about Softscript, and didn't like much of what I heard. 

I also had a very nice woman from the boards here contact me and offer to refer me on to her company, and gave me numbers for contacts there.

So...today I was contacted by Scriberight.  They seemed very nice and the testing was quite easy. 

Anyone know anything about them?  I'm sorry to keep posting these, but I have had to change jobs twice in the past two years due to lack of work, unstable companies, bad pay, etc....I would just like to stay put for a while and I value your opinions.

Thanks!

I worked with them last year, and quite frankly, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone!  Granted, I learned a lot, but the owner and QAs attitudes really stink!  It's mandatory you work Saturday's.  The pay isn't what it should be for what you have to put up with....sorry. 

My contact with ScribeRight was limited;I didn't get past the contract phase, and my friend found that their line counts were way below what she got with her line-counting software.

So, my advice:  Don't even try to make any changes to the contract.  That sends L into a real tailspin.  Be sure to use your own line counting software and compare it to what the company is determining the line count to be.

I currently work for ScribeRight. Email me with any questions----would be happy to answer. :)

Anyone with any info on Scriberight?

Can anyone post it for me if you have it?

Thanks!

I think some of the posts have truth to them.  I don't think  QT has hired new MTs in ages and I would think that the quality issues that we are being threatened with pay reductions etc must be coming from the overseas work, which makes me angry.   Do they have other accounts besides this one?  I wish we could get some confirmation. 

So, it seems no one best post anything sad to say.  If its negative, even if true, it will hurt the little guy the most as we often have no legal recourse or money to obtain legal counsel if a company has done us wrong.  So, what is best course of action when investigating a company that has not paid their employees or other legal work-related matters?  Better Business Bureau?  Just wondering if anyone knows who you would contact to investigate before we sign-up or interview for a company.  Also, let's face it.  Transcription is becoming a very, very difficult profession regarding payment and employment.  I imagine probably best to check to make sure a legitimate company, ask questions of them as they do of you, prepare to be very flexible (24/7/365), be your own IT department for computer issues (if you work from home), and go in there with a positive attitude and hope for the best.  Otherwise, it seems it would be best only to post regarding words, actual jobs, software/hardware, etc. etc. and just light topics.  Just my take on it all but also which is why i am slowing weaning from the world of transcription.
