Got job offers from both. Pay and benefits look to be about the same. Anyone work(ed) for either or have worked for both? Good, bad, or any other comments regarding either company?
How is the family health plan with each? Cost? Coverage?
Thanks.

Review of Transcend for Those Trying to Decide...
First, sympathies to all of you at MDI. Been there, experienced it, it's pretty hellish to be involved in a merger on the best of days.
I've been with Transcend for some time now, and these are the points to consider:
The people are nice for the most part. I know that sounds like damning with faint praise, but I do have to say the TLs and upper management aren't asses about taking time off, helping with QA, etc.. when you can find someone to answer your e-mail.
The dictators aren't terrible. The worst ESLs dictate very rarely, so you only have to deal with them every now and then.
The platform is okay. Could be worse, could be better. I don't like it one bit personally, but to each her own.
Now for the other side of things...
There's no work. The jobs come in VERY slowly; it's the norm for me to log in to find maybe ten jobs waiting for an entire shift. I've spent many a shift checking every hour (as per company direction) to find myself wasting hours sitting at my computer surfing the internet. Yes, you can request secondary accounts... only to find yourself staring at another screen with no work on it. If you're willing to work on five to six accounts, you may be able to make the minimum line count, but I watch the numbers on ALL accounts and they're ALL very low on a consistent basis, so this is doubtful.
It's extremely unlikely you'll make the minimum to qualify for insurance or the sign-on bonus (if MDI-ers are being offered this).
Communication is very poor. It's the norm to send multiple e-mails about an issue to get no reply. The TLs and TMs change constantly and you're not informed.
If you don't make the minimum FT line requirements, you'll be sent letters of commitment which are basically written warnings about lack of production. If you inform them that you'd LIKE to make production but there's NO WORK with which to do so, even on your SECONDARY account, the answer is Try to get on another secondary, but for now we need you to sign this letter and return it. Basically, that translates as You're not making minimum because there's no work, but we're still giving you a warning. After this letter of commitment, they will give you one pay period to achieve the 900$ FT rate, then drop you to PT.
I'm making roughly 500$ PPP right now - started out making around 700$ PPP and watched it steadily decline (instead of increase) as the workload shrank.
I'm sticking it out for another couple of months and then I'm off to other pastures.
Hope this helps someone trying to decide about Transcend. Best of luck to you all, wherever you end up.
Transcend/SOAP
I received offers from both of them and would like to know pros/cons. Salary appears to be about the same. Does Transcend allow for OT? How are they to work for? Feel free to PM me if you would like. How are the benefits (medical,etc) at Transcend? Are they costly for a family? Are there production incentives at either company? TIA!!

SOAP Transcription, Inc.
SOAP is a teriffice company. I have been there nearly 3 years full-time. Compassionate caring owners. Very honest. Good communication. Pay is always on time. During the time I have worked for them, there have been plenty of opportunities for overtime. Never any no work periods. Very few low work periods. Happens only occasionally, and they are handled by asking for volunteers to work a few hours less. This seems to work for them.

Transcend Services Inc is the company. Employees are saying that they are offshoring but there has been no confirmation of this. Could you confirm this for us? I think they have an ad up in the Job Seekers board and I am confused. Thank you for your help.
Transcend Services does....sm
and they just gave out holiday gift cards to the employees!

I have a question about Transcend. I used to work for them and am thinking about going back, but I've heard through the grapevine that they are sending 3/4 of their work to India--can anyone confirm this? I only work for American companies who deal with only American workers. Thanks for your help.

Hi Patty - I have worked for Transcend for almost 3 years and am now a team lead. I have always found the company to be very fair in both pay scale and employee relations. They are very open to discussion about almost anything. I would say go for it. Email me if you would like. Sue

As a Transcend customer for 11 years, I find them a very reputable company. They have provided great customer servince and excellend services for our facility for 11 years. Their Executive Leadership deserve to be commended for their dedication to their customers and employees.

Transcend Services Inc Confirmation of offshoring?
Has it been confirmed by the company on this board that they are offshoring work?
I am still not sure if I should go with them or not.
RE: Transcend Services Inc Confirmation of offshoring?
No.
I had been offered QA for Transcend Services and MXSecure...sm
but declined both. MXSecure took forever to check my references, etc...plus I believe they outsource and when questioning the guy, he denied it but their website says so. So, that turned me away from them. Transcend Services offers QA for voice recognition. I was unfamiliar with that and their process, but they sent me equipment quickly and they seemed friendly, but turned them down. They both had a production quota. MXSecure's seemed a bit high; Transcend Services seemed more reasonable. Hope this helps. This is just what they had told me. No real experience, though, with working for either. Good luck!
Transcend Services bought MDI for $16.2 million.
I didnt realize it was that much! No wonder they feel no loyalty to their old MT's! ,,,everybody has a price I guess.
The $16.2 million purchase price consists of $10.2 million in cash payable at closing (less any existing indebtedness assumed and plus or minus certain working capital and tax-related adjustments), $2.0 million in cash payable after receipt of interim financial statements and audited financial statements for the last two fiscal years, a $2.0 million note payable to the selling shareholder due one year after closing, and $2.0 million of Transcend common stock (119,940 shares). The initial cash portion of the purchase price is expected to be funded using a combination of cash on hand and up to $7.0 million in bank term debt.
Larry Gerdes, Chief Executive Officer of Transcend, said, MDI's strong presence in the mid-Atlantic region significantly expands Transcend's national footprint. We are confident that MDI's culture of excellence and total commitment to customers and employees will help ensure the success of this transaction. We look forward to working together to integrate our operations over the next several months.
I recognized that we needed a larger partner to achieve our long-term growth objectives, said MDI Chief Executive Officer Dorothy Fitzgerald. A critical concern for me was to find a partner that recognized MDI's potential and was committed to providing excellent customer service. I am convinced that Transcend is the best partner for MDI, its employees and customers.
Sue McGrogan, Transcend's President and Chief Operating Officer added, I have known Dorothy Fitzgerald for years. Like me, Dorothy is committed to outstanding customer service, which is reflected in her high customer retention rates. In her new role, Dorothy will be President of our MDI subsidiary. She will report to Leo Cooper, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, in order to focus on driving future growth, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region.

Any input on anything to do with the company and/or information on Voice Recognition editors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Disorganized is an understatement. The company is run by people who have absolutely no experience or understanding of the transcription business. They work on ChartScript.net, SoftMed's web based platform. There are numerous complaints on this site in regards to this platform.
