Read the archives. Hardly a day goes by that
someone asks info on a company that was just discussed the day before. There are other forums besides this one too where you can get info on companies. Post your resume on the various job boards. There are companies that do not post ads but hire from the resumes. My current position I was hired from my resume and I have been offered a couple of other positions from companies who contacted me from my resume who did not post ads.
I work for a good company and honestly they are not hiring. Other MTs do seem to get upset when people will not tell them what company they work for. I don't believe they are afraid of losing their job to someone else (at least for the most part I don't), but they don't want the company to overhire. There are many posts on the boards about people not having work for days on end because companies are overhiring.
All you have to do is read the archives.
Overall it seems that most MTs are very happy. BTW I am not a TT MT.
Read through the archives. There have
been posts about them just above every well. They are an Indian run company.
Read the archives. I did QA and did not like it.

Read the archives and then RUN.

Why not read the archives?
If you read through the archives you'll see not
much good about this company, especially from people who refused to listen to the issues that others had and went to work for them anyway. They offshore big time, constant turnover. I wouldn't consider it.
They were actually one of the companies I was looking at until I read the archives..it seems
they haven't changed at all with the negative responses this time around. Thanks for the warnings!
If you read the archives you should find what you are looking for, although
you won't find much good about them.
If you read the archives you won't find much
good about them. They switch you from account to account. They have had management problems for many years. Their line counting is difficult to figure out and they dock you for lots of things. They also offshore and are currently training women in Trinidad and somewhere else so you know what that means. Some of their accounts are teaching hospital and I worked on one of them and the dictation quality was horrendous. If you're a newbie I doubt they'd put you on it though.
There are worse companies out there, but I still wouldn't recommend TRS.
Read the archives. Someone else just asked about
them this week. They are not a good company.
Read the archives. Lots there, most of it not
good. Someone else asked about them this week so scroll through the board.
Read the archives. Someone asks about them
almost daily.
You must do a search and read OSI archives
read the archives. also, low work
times outside of the holidays is just plain poor staffing, which can be done so that everyone has enough and the work is kept up. It has been done. Problem is, getting people to do more when there is a slam. No incentives for it? they won't come through. company solution? overhire.
Plenty of bad if you read the archives, but the
fact that they offshore so much is enough to keep me away.
If you read the posts in the archives you
will run as fast as you can. They are not are reputable company and I'm not even sure they are a transcription company at all, but a front just to rob you blind. We call them TransScam.
There are multiple unresolved complaints with the BBB.
Read the archives, lots of info there.
Read through the archives, horrible company.
The dictators are some of the worst ESLs, sound quality is horrific, the reports are so bad I had to basically retype them, flaky QA, management problems, etc.
Read the archives. Many posts, none good. nm
Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits. Thanks!
I found Medgarde, but read in the archives...
that they don't pay for spaces and make you pay for their platform. Is this still the case?
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
Read in the archives that Mediscript (FL) is "bad news" Why?
.//
I read in archives that pay is 65 char wo spaces, is that true?

The contract doesn't read that way....
The contract says that the invoice is due on the 16th from work done on the 1st to the 15th and the check will be sent on the 31st. The pay schedule seems in line with the going rate .08 cents for transcribing and .03 cents for editing.
AccuStat...any new info? I've read the archives that are a year old...
I've read the archives but would like current info on this comany. Thanks nm

Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
Precyse Solutions -- I've read the archives and I'm looking for updated ...
responses. Is there anybody here that's actually happy working for Precyse? Are most folks making decent money there?
Thanks.
Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
Opinions on Focus. Please. I read all archives. Please most recent info. Thanks. NM

KyMT read her post below...she doesn't
work weekends or evenings anymore because she has been doing this for years and refuses to be a slave now. Hypocritical huh?
Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
Not Lee. She doesn't come here anymore. Too hard to read the lies from people who were fired fo
poor quality, poor work ethics, cherry picking, disappearing for days on end, not covering their shifts or line counts, crazy HR people (both were nuts and evil).
Good and bad at every company including KST, MQ, Spheris, Transcend, etc.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
READ THE ARCHIVES. There are volumes and volumes
about Keystrokes. All you have to do is scroll down the page a bit and you'll find several posts. You can also open your original post and click on related messages.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
go through Archives
Yes they have paid MTs with bounced checks with every worthless excuse under the sun on several occasions among a multitude of other unacceptable business practices. Please do a search in the archives.
Archives so old
Does anyone know why all the posts are so old whenever I want to research a company in the archives? Almost all of them are from 2004 and very few from 2005. If they were posted in 2005, then they are usually many months old. Also why aren't they posted in chronological order with newest ones first? Please help me understand this. Thanks.
There is a lot in the archives about them.

All of them are still there in the archives. I even went back to reference some myself before even posting my questions.

How do I find out about a company from the archives?
archives???
Can someone tell me why I cannot access the archives any more? Why can I not research companies that are hiring through the archives? Is anyone else having this problem? Also is someone removing the responses to questions posed by people looking for information on certain companies? Just wondering if this is something I am doing wrong or if something new is going on or what. Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.
