Would like to know the reasons! 

quit before I did due to lack of work.  There are some accounts that have a lot of work, but unless you can work on those accounts it isn't much of a help.  I had 3 accounts and with the rare exception of when there was a 2-week period of OT available, I was only getting maximum of 18 hours week.  I attempted working during all 3 shifts, working my days off and still couldn't get in my hours/lines.  I asked for more accounts, I was willing and able to work, the quality of my work was excellent and I received multiple e-mails from my STM stating how pleased they were with my work, so the excuse that I just couldn't cut it is BULL.  

I don't know what the work load is like since I left, but I do know what it was like when I was there and there just wasn't work on my 3 accounts and anyone could see the numbers on the updates and see there were accounts that had tons of work, but there were many accounts with low numbers too.  We were also told that under no circumstances would we be paid for downtime.

My current company has had some days where work may not have been available on your shift to complete your line committment, but they pay us for any downtime and we don't have to worry about trying to make it up on a different shift or our days off.  The pay is probably less than what we would make transcribing, but is a generous amount. 

I have worked for companies that were much worse than WMX, but currently work for one much better.   When someone asks how things are there I am honest in my assessment as I see them, but usually get negative posts in return about how I'm not willing to take on more accounts and my work isn't good enough, etc.  That is all BULL.

If anyone goes back and read the archives there are many similar posts to mine that were not made by me. 

If you have lots of work, have a good STM, and are happy well I'm happy for you, but because someone else has a different story doesn't mean they are a bitter ex-employee who just couldn't cut it.  

I was hired in at a big national. I was warned on this board about this company overhiring and running out of work,but I felt I had to give it a chance. Well, after  the first week of training was over, I have literally ran out of work everyday and requested a back up account, which I only received 4 hours pay of training to do. Now, the primary and secondary account is out of work, and in order to make any money I have to stay up until midnight to make up hours if the work is available. If the work is not available, I have to fill out a nonpaid PTO request. I have only been with the company a little over 4 weeks and I cannot believe this is happening. I barely made 42 hours last week and will have a small check yet again this pay. I have had it, I have finally learned to not put all my eggs in one basket and have obtained an IC position with another company and a full-time editing job with another company to keep a pay check coming in. My question is, how do I quit this job with no work? What do I tell them? I do not want to be rude or leave in a bad standing. How do I quit after less than 6 weeks on the job. I have to quit because my bills are backing up. Any suggestions on what to say to quit with tact would be appreciated.

Thank you all.

later I am a temporary employee at Walmart for 6.00/hr.  Still more than I was making at my production job but how humiliating. 

If WE are going to be nick picked for commas, semi-colons, etc., then what in the world happens to those reports being sent offshore?  They don't understand English let alone where to place a comma or not to cap a generic drug name.  When then day comes for me to correct offshoring mistakes ---- I will kiss this job good-bye. 

Are there any companies that pay a good line rate and are good to there MTs that do not offshore there work?  I am trying to help a friend looking for part time work, but she is staying clear of those that offshore..

Any help would be appreciated.

If so I won't bother.  TIA

they are a good company.  They weren't for me because I am used to working my own schedule.  They require you to work specific hours (usually you can choose them) and I just couldn't do it with 2 small kids.  (If something comes up you can e-mail them and make up the time later.)

They provide all equipment.  Their QA staff is really great - positive and helpful.  You will most of the time get your QA stuff back within a few hours - always within 24 hours.  Their platform is easy to use.  I worked on quite a few accounts while I was there and they were all pretty decent.  One had some crummy ESLs as the majority, but I didn't work on it much so can't say if it would have gotten better with time and adjustment on my part.  (I usually adjust just fine to ESLs - these were mumblers as well)

They do have good benefits and you can accumulate PTO, which you can use at any time you wish - all or part of it.  So if you just need extra money one pay period, you can ask them to add it on.  You can also check your balance of PTO at any time.  Also, they have direct deposit and pay is always on-time - without exception.  They also mail you your stub and it always came exactly on time.  Also, the payroll person is very accessible for any questions, etc.  She even sent an e-mail out to us once because the paystubs (direct deposit was already in the bank) were late and she wanted to apologize - she had used a different post office.

The other thing that was a drawback for me, but you may not mind, is they do send out a lot of e-mails with account updates, asking for help, etc.  That's not so bad but it was 3-4 time daily thing and they started getting to me.  However, they do also offer bonuses quite regularly and other incentives too.  They do believe in motivation and recognition for those that go the extra mile.

Also, they do quarterly reviews and do value quality work. 

They are a good company overall.  I know you will see various opinions on this board about them, but the only 2 negatives for me were as above - the e-mails and the set hours.  Honestly, though, if it weren't that I was so bogged down with my children's schedules, I would have stayed with them.  If you can handle those things, then the positives outweigh the negatives.
