I have spoken to the owner previously - sm
Very nice owner, company seemed stable. I did not end up working for her but I would have had other circumstances not come into play.
I worked there previously as well.....
Everything the above poster said is pretty much right on. The QA is really irritating, there are two of them and one is extremely nice and helpful and the other one does correct punctuation that shouldn't even be corrected. The format is in Word and the Word punctuation will say it is correct and after the QA corrects it, Word will actually say that is wrong, but QA will say her way is right. I have even spent time searching for the puncutation rules that maybe she goes by and never any luck. QA is a little inconsistent as well, such as they do things a certain way for a while and with no notice, it is changed and you are marked off for that. Other than that.........I never even spoke to the owner of the company in the whole 2 years that I worked there, the only issue I had was lack of work more often than not.
If anybody has worked there previously can you please email me? sm
This would fit me well, but I have read a few negative remarks.
Would work for JLG before Transcend, having worked at both previously. nm

Can I ask who you worked for previously. It may have been on one of the accounts or companies I
worked for..When I went to work for that one and ended up making $9 an hour, I was so disappointed because I figured since I was a high producer at my other job and made big money plus I had experience and needed no training on the platform I was sure I would be doing well. I am more convinced than ever that they fix the line counts. They have to or there would not be the huge difference. Of note also was that the low paying one was the easiest. The account was a walk in the park so I really thought I'd make a great living as the other job was a lot of ESL etc. Boy, was I in for a shock.
Anyone work for Transcription Connection in Ohio? I worked there previously & am wondering
xxxxxxxxx
I worked for them previously. Very good, growing co., wonderful MTSO, average pay but lots of work.

I have worked there before. The owner did seem fairly nice and pleasant. However, SM
unless things have changed, the company is just very, very disorganized. Very heavy offshoring which I didn't like once I found out. I thought it WA fairly low pay. All in all, not the worst place to work but perhaps you could do better. I was paid on time, however, and once there was about a $20-something error in my check for some reason (I don't remember why), and they cut me an additional check and immediately sent it to me which I thought was very nice.
my training pay was previously
$10/hr and it stayed there until my production exceeded that amount. I think its unreasonable to be paid on production from day 1, as there is always a learning curve (new equipment, new doctors, new acct specifics).
As stated previously....
This is an anonymous board. Anyone can come here and post under any name. That is not a clue that this is the 'real' person.
As I said before, your posts come across as very snarky. I am being honest with you. You may want to work on your communication skills. Communicating online is different than communicating face to face.
You mentioned 'bitter MTs.' I am not one of the 'bitter MTs' that you speak of. I have a great job (not with MDI). The company I work for is not even mentioned on this board, and there is a reason for that  . Yes, there are 'bitter MTs' who post here. And you know why they are bitter? Because they are dealing with companies who do not have any respect for their MTs. Now, I know you are going to carry on about how MDI appreciaties their MTs. Well, I hope that's true. Instead of trying to address their gripe here, I hope you are addressing it individually with the MTs who actually work for MDI.
I have to agree. I had previously turned down 8 cpl but now...
I see where I went wrong. I passed on 8 cpl on an account with NO ESL because I thought 9.5 cpl sounded better. What I did not realize was that 70% of my account would be ESL so I now see that I could have made a lot more taking the 8 cpl. You are slowed down so much with ESL so I agree that you should factor all of that in before you turn down a job.
As stated previously, do the search. It's all there...nm

Same here as I posted previously. Check archives here.

QTers - post previously true
Thank you to whoever had courage to post about QT losing their large account, for all I know their only account at this point. I had for months heard rumors of the work going to outsourcing and now our latest check sure looks like an Indian had signed it. So figured work would always be light and would have to supplement. But thanks to kindness of a stranger posting where the account is going, I won't miss a beat with a paycheck and with an account I have worked on for a long time. So if those of you were doubting whether it was true, it is true and I believe they are still hiring for more positions at the company that starts with W. Good luck to everybody. How could such a good company go down the pooper so fast?
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
it USED to mean owner (sm)
back when most MT services were little and there was a real owner. Now that there are so many huge multinationals with no owner to take personal responsibility for the service, it's sort of transmogrified to mean organization, but that's redundant.
Just take it as meaning a service. Once again, AAMT, worthless as ever, ruins the language.
no changes that i know of. Same owner.

and this is the new owner
 My god you people are so gullable. That picture could have come from anyones kitchen!!!
How do you know? Are you the owner?
They are obviously losing something if there's no work. Have you been with them since they started or something? Do you know of every account MDI has or what? How can you make a blanket statement like that?
I can't believe people sit frustrated about no work and don't move on; that's just plain silly. There are tons of companies hiring; get on with it already! Come on show your stuff to a company that will appreciate you and not OVERHIRE!
Owner? sm
I thought someone named Tracy owned Net-Med?
Should be owner's...sorry. nm

A few posts on here say the owner is a mean one. nm

Owner is snarky.

As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Oh, okay. I thought it was okay because the owner
people are saying DEROGATORY things about her. I was saying GOOD things and mine was deleted.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.
Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.
I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.
Walk a mile in my shoes!
You said you spoke to the owner.
You are not credible.
owner, not organization.
Remember the Owner
I remember reading another board a few years back....maybe quite a few years...and I remember distinctly J. Weight's name. I know she was one of the most argumentative and flaming people out there. Stay away.
Why would you talk to owner?
Perhaps she is an account lead. That, or a buttkisser.
Why I spoke with the owner - sm
SHE called me, SHE hired me, SHE promised me a job at a certain rate, SHE gave me all kinds of excuses why the job never materialized and then I never heard from anyone again. Enough said.
I also spoke with the owner for the same
exact reasons. She called me, she hired me, she emailed me daily, she offered me account after account, which never materialized while I did crap work just waiting for her promises to be kept. Guess what? They never were!
Owner of a company
I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
The owner will encourage you to
talk to her current staff, etc., but that is definitely biased. An anonymous board like this is is a safer.
and........ the owner of this company
is subcontracting work out for Medware. Medware and herself are one in the same.
....starting with the owner! lol

Use full name of owner. nm
The owner does at least read here..
I had posted here complaining ile back that I couldn't get ahold of the recruiter who offered me a position and the owner of the company sent me a personal email to get in touch with her as they were moving offices and the recruiter was off part of that week.
You have got to be kidding. KS is a little too big for the owner to sm
bother coming in here and posting under other names. I used to see her name on posts, but it was years ago. I think they are very big now, and she probably has more important things to do than post on a board, much less use different names. There are over 300 MTs at Keystrokes. I would bet that only a handful post, but the positives are definitely from actual MTs. Wow. I am amazed at the things that people come up with. If there were not positives, they would not have employees. I have been there for 5 years, and so have most of the other KS MTs that I have gotten to know over the years.
Keystrokes owner
Hi-do you know if Keystrokes owner is named Jill?
Keystrokes owner
Thanks, I actually found that out when I went to the website. I used to work in a hospital for someone who lived in Yorkville and started her own company who was very nice and great to work for. I was thinking, WOW, has she made it! Thanks
Ower = owner

Really? New management? New owner? - nm
x
perhaps you should email the owner and ask. NM
,
WMX - new owner of this board?
Just curious...there seems to be no tolerarance for any comments unless they are positive. Seems like so many WMX employees always respond, too.
I heard someone new took over the board.
The owner of MTStars?
I thought Sheri owned it? (though I haven't been here in a while)
