Post from Sept. says Need to buy your own TransNet pedal & you're NOT connected to the net

Is it only when I'm connected or is it All The Time, even when not connected to their system?

They're pretty much alright - sm
The only problem I had was the cruddy account they had me on - loaded with cherry pickers and the worst ESLs - but I don't think it was Documed's fault. For the most part they're okay. The direct deposit is great and always on time. I don't like that they don't provide you with a breakdown of your line counts and they use their own line-counting system, so you really never know if you're getting shafted or not. I've never felt that I really got shafted, though. Faye can be kind of pushy, but I think she's okay for the most part.
they're pretty great
They are very consistent overall. Oh, now and then you get a nitpicky change made to something. (you can see all your reports after QA'd) But every communication i've had with QA has been very positive. I've even had an appreciative response after bring a QA error to their attention. Yes, you will be informed if you are being kept. You can even ask for a little reassurance during the probation period, ie, 'how am I doing?' When you're off of QA, QA doesn't have much of any contact with you. Your liasion keeps you updated with an e/m or two a day. That's about it.
And if they're *pretty darned good* right now,
when you and you coworkers fix it so they're PERFECT, who's going to be editing these reports then?
Perhaps a better question is from what country will these people be editing these reports?
They're lying sort of. They are pretty much
100% Indian, so I guess saying they don't offshore to India isn't a total lie. They just have an address in the US, which someone posted previously was actually a residence.
Yep, they're definitely up there pretty high on the SUCK list
another evil company
you're pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel with that company

Yes, it's only when you are connected to VPN, sm
because essentially you are then on the company's server. As soon as you disconnect your VPN, that communication path is shut down.
That disclaimer you read when you log onto a VPN is just a formality.
How do you stay connected to the job you are
doing if you answer the phone with call waiting?
Ohhhh okay. So MDI-MD and MDI-FL are not connected?
I worked for a hospital that laid all their MTs off and outsourced everything to MDI-MD. We were all offered jobs with MDI-MD, but I opted not to go with them and after reading all the hoopla below, I feel I made the right decision. I wonder if any of the gals I worked with are the unhappy or the happy MDI'ers?
You are connected to their system and they can
monitor everything that goes on on the computer, though I really think they have better things to do.
Totally agree. Not only that, they only were connected
when I checked them out, no IC or SE positions then, and acted like I was a bit out of my gourd to request situations that had mainly ER or no OPs.
Just a time-waster for me, totally. And I used to post a link to them on various boards when they first came out, because it sounded like such a great idea (but I usually made sure to mention that I couldn't vouch for them since no experience with them myself ... now I can say that I *definitely* don't vouch for them).
How is SGS connected to TTD (Transcription Doctors)?
Did SGS buy TTD?
They do supply standard, but I have connected my IBM keyboard.

I believe Transnet is how ExText is connected. Easy to use. Most demographics are

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
Must be pretty far SM
I've worked for them for 2 years and never a problem.
Pretty Bad
I have no interest in working for Keystrokes, but had to check out their new and improved benefit package. It is pretty bad unless you are unlucky enough to have a couple of deaths in the family.
You could say that about pretty much every co.
You know what they say about opinions...I have seen just about every major national company being asked about on these boards at one time or another and there are always people who will have negative things to say about them. On the other hand, there are always people who will say positive things as well. The only thing you can do is educate yourself about each company by going to their website and contacting the company directly to get answers. Otherwise, it's all a lot of hearsay. JMO
I appreciate that!! I am pretty used to getting
flamed for not-so-positive comments so you are a breath of fresh air!! I hope they work out for you, I really do. I was one who loved Spheris until, well, I guess I should not say, but I hated MQ, so I guess we have both BTDT. Good luck to you, too:) I really think I have found mine with this company that just hired me. Sure hope so:)
That's pretty bad...
most editors I know make way more than that.
Most of them do, I am pretty sure.

They pretty much
change things to suit themselves.... not the mt
Pretty sure they do, I have seen their
banner across a board....
Pretty much par for this course, it seems. nm

Pretty much
It is very difficult to go after foreign entities due to cost and resources. I won't work for one ever. This is why many con artists in different countries get away with it. There is not much we can do.
Pretty sure
for some reasons with all the new accounts for administrative reasons they felt easier to catagorize that way. It is all one company and everything is the same. Only the accounts are designated 1 and 2.
Thanks, that's pretty much what
I am getting from everyone I ask. I just thought with them being as big as they are maybe they would have better benefits and a better rep. Thanks!
I'm pretty new
at TT myself. I've only been there a few months, but I'm very happy working for them. Have any of you asked to be taken off an account and given a different one? There are times when I really struggle with my account, and I wonder what would happen if I asked for a different one? I'm a little nervous though...what if the newer account is more of a struggle? I would be anxious about learning a new account too. Sigh. Any thoughts? Thanks!
i think that is pretty low
look elsewhere. did you try looking for jobs on mtdaily.com they have many legitimate firms looking for workers.
Pretty please.

I am pretty sure you do
need a USB.
I think I pretty much said it all, but if you have
specific questions you can e-mail me.
Im pretty sure this is it. SM

Seems pretty low to me. NM
SE and IC are pretty much the same - sm
The only difference is with SE you get part of the tax paid, whereas IC you pay it all. You have no benefits with an SE status except being able to set when you want to work, that's it. You do get to have the same tax deductions with the SE as an IC would have too.
It has been pretty low for at least the last 3
months at my company. Some accounts will dump a bunch of work on Saturday and then we have OT for 2 days, and then not enough work during the week. We do get paid for downtime though, so it isn't as bad as most have it.
I think I have everything pretty
well summed up. I did basically what just my opinion has done, summed up all the points that everyone had given me. I found a couple of more stats on how many more MT's are going to be added in India at a couple of different companies in the next 18 months.
I do have to mention when I first started talking to this reporter he knew already about the lawsuit with the Q infact he brought it up.
So stand-by I think we have it summed up. I will post a link to the story so everyone can read it.
Thanks for all your help, I couldn't have done it without the group effort.
All companies are pretty much the same, unfortunately. sm
Some are better in different areas and worse in others and vice versa! Just gotta go with the company you can make money with and forget about the rest of the nonsense!
