Evidently things haven't changed since I left. Sounds like they've gotten worse - LOL
nm
I ran a search on a couple of boards. Came up dry.
I too would like to hear something about this company. Feel free to email.
Yes. Search the boards. Plenty there. nm

Many many comments about them if you search the boards. nm

For some reason, when I search these boards for information on JLG
I cannot get any posts to come up. Can someone please give me some information on this company? Thank you!!
Do a search of the boards. Recent stuff answering these. nm

I agree, there are worse things in the world...sm
than going to Saudi Arabia and getting a nice salary, I can imagine.
Especially if one is free as a bird and has no other obligations.
Unless things have changed, no, you have to sn
use the Bayscribe spellcheck.
I see things have NOT changed there!
SOS - same old stuff, different company.
Maybe things have changed
for the better since the buyout last year. But, what you describe is not what they sent me in their information packet.
things have changed...
They did have Future Net when I was there, which is the best platform the have, but they had other accounts there were still on the old DOS Word Perfect, which seemed weird to me. Anyway, the ASR must be new. There was slso a lot of game playing going on when I was there, which is an understatement, and I will just leave it at that!
things have changed...
I had been with Focus since May and there were the American employees, as far as MTs and staff, but most of the team leaders were Indian and I am sure they had the Indian MTs as well. In May 2008 all the American MTs received letters that they were bought by Nuance and that all ICs would have to become employees. Just recently, all of the Indian team leads have been let go, so I am not sure what this means, but it does not appear that they are Indian owned anymore. The funny thing is prior to this a whole American QA team had been let go, so very confusing. The Indian team leads are being replaced with American tead leads now. I had no problem with having Indian team leads, as they were great to work with and respected our work. I did not have a bad experience at Focus during my time there, but the changes going on now are confusing and I am curious how things will turn out. They were my first company, so I wish them the very best.
I have to agree. I have been with MQ for a very long time and things just keep getting worse and
worse. I can imaging this new pay plan that is such a guarded secret will not be to our advantage that is for sure unless you are willing to work 24/7/365 which is what they expect now to make money. You are constantly jumping from account to account and ASR has picked the good dictators out so it is a constant string of mushmouths left that ASR cant understand, etc. etc.
I hope things have changed -sm
I worked for Edix too, and although I know some people weren't treated well there, I felt I really was. I had a really great supervisor. I just wasn't able to make money with that system. It was too slow, so I left after only 3 months.
Well, things have obviously changed in the last couple...sm
of years since you have been gone. Didn't seem to me that the right hand knew what the left hand was doing and just horribly disorganized. Sad testimonial of what is going on in the MT field as well as all over the US in all fields!
Things have changed since my last post right above yours here.
I let them know I was not making money and they started training all over again on a different account. I did not want to start all over again so I went full-time with probably the best company on this board and won't look back. Forget about struggling, and just putting up with something as I mentioned above this post (right above yours here), accept nothing but the best... and don't settle no matter what you do. No job is perfect, but there are managers who don't cheat as well. Go for the ones who don't cheat. Good luck to you.
I work there and things apparently have changed since you were there.
Not all the people you named are still there nor is the dental plan Delta. It is Guardian. Insurance is excellent.
Now, they hire employees and not ICs. They do that for a reason. They can better schedule and meet TATs that way. I think employee status warrants meeting your hours, but what I do know is that they do allow some flexibility and if you need it, all you need to do is say it as long as it is not 12-hr flexibility. If you have to run out and get the kids, tell them.
This company is a good company. The people are quite nice. Their QA staff is good. They do follow the BOS to a tee.
It's a personal choice, but if someone did not at least check them out, I think they are missing out. They are very good. Best QA staff I have ever worked with.
Maybe things changed since I quit there because I refused to buy
the equipment. It is not just a router, it has to be a Cisco router, Cisco modem, etc. And don't fall on the floor when you see the length of the gross lines, lol.
I am so sorry to hear that!! Hope things have changed
for your sake:( Terrible co. IMO
Very happy when I first started but things have changed -
I believe they have overhired and all the accounts are running out of work. There is a lot of demographic stuff to do too so that slows you down a lot. Pay per line isn't great but they do pay PTO in a fair way and I like the platform they use. All in all I'm still happy if they weren't running out of work -I will just have to wait and see how that goes.
You're welcome. As I said, this was 5 years ago or so. Things could have changed. sm
I would just be careful. They used to have a woman in the office named Crystal. I would call and tell her I had run out of work, and she would just laugh and tell me to take the day off! How nice ... except that I needed the money. In all fairness, though, I am sure they could not have stayed in business and kept employees if they kept on that way. I read awhile back that if you pay $20 each check or something like that that they will Fed Ex your check to you, so maybe they are trying, although I don't think you should have to pay for it.
Good luck in finding something. I know what it is like to be the sole source of income. 
so your point may be that things haven't changed.

Did any of you try emailing or calling D herself? Perhaps things have changed sm
since I worked there, but it used to be you could talk to her and she would listen and make things right if she could. Maybe she is not as much involved in those things anymore and it is mostly C handling things. It just seemed worth a shot. It is sad to see so many people unhappy and scared for their livelihoods.
Good luck.
That's a shame. It sounds like things have really changed. sm
I was there for 5 years and always thought that D really cared about providing enough work for everyone. Maybe all of the industry changes have caught up there too. I hope things turn around for you and everyone else. Although I do not have a family, I am my only source of income, and I know how scary the no-work situation can be.
Good luck!
My how things have changed. I am now drowning in work from
the new clients, I guess, and they are bringing on two more this week. Hip, hip, hooray! Might even get a bonus!!!
Unless things have changed drastically, they are NOT nice to work for.
You will get calls at all hours to work, mostly because no one has enough sense to realize that there is a big time difference between the east coast where they are and the west coast where I am. I routinely got calls from Rose between 4 and 5 a.m. to see why I was not working when my schedule was for 7 a.m. pacific time. The accounts were awful. And the recruiter is just that - do not believe all the praise and glory she heaps out. She may be sweet but don't fall for her line of bs.
Everything I read suggests that unfortunately things haven't changed...
at that time the Suits were making promises ... like a 2-hour TAT on all WTs ... and they were willing to allocate as much manpower as possible to win the contract ... it was nuts.
Definitely not TransTech -- gets worse and worse with no work each and every day and who cares???
NOBODY, except the MT's who are making less and less money and losing whatever comfortable lifestyle they had previously had the pleasure to live. Unless you have more than 1 member in the household to bring in the money, or you have received an inheritance from family member, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO MAKE A LIVING AT Transtech anymore. They absolutely DON'T CARE either. TransTech mgmt will not talk about it; only promises of new accounts coming on . . . ha ! Possibly an overflow account to replace the LOST account.
I so wish mgmt's paychecks would be affected by this NO WORK situation that has been going on for more than a year now and they would get out of that Houston high-dollar office and FIND US MT's some WORK !
The owners haven't changed, MT supe hasn't changed
I've been in their office. I know the people. It is a sweat shop and you will never be paid a decent amount or get respect. You won't know which is a good or a bad day for the person you report to until you literally get yelled at.
They have to offer bonuses because their reputation is that bad and nothing has changed. You may get work that has been recorded 3 times from some of the worst accounts you could ever imagine. They take accounts no one else will touch. That hasn't changed.
They changed buildings so maybe the phone number also changed...
They are still going strong...
Pay for MT work is getting worse and worse!!!! NM

And the reports look worse and worse
Any VR program and system into which it is imported is fraught with problems. At my local hospital, they have editors editing the editors. The reports are still full of mistakes and bad formatting. At my local radiology group, they have 5 different programs ranging from a combination of EMR point and click to front end SR. The MTs spend their whole day patching together the various parts of the patient record to make one cohesive record. The IT department has ballooned from 2 to 7. They only got rid of 3 MTs but exchanged them for 5 ITs. A local doctor uses point and click EMR and spends the whole patient visit with his snoot glued to the computer. The patient sits there crying and he isn't paying attention. It takes him 20 minutes to complete the record and then charges the patient for the extra time inside the room because of his bad choices or the practice manager in record keeping. I know all this first hand. I wonder when they will realize the boondoggle they have bought into.

Can someone tell me some of the other job boards
Could someone tell me what some of the other job boards are? Thanks I've been with the same company a long time and never had to look before
look here and other job boards. sm.
I'm not sure if the sites can be mentioned here but if you search on this forum and do a search for MT jobs you'll have quite a few companies that are hiring. Good luck.

What you read on the boards is not always
the gospel truth.
If clocking in/out isn't for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it is a bad practice.
If I were a company accountable for employee hours, I'd make you clock in and out. Otherwise, you'd have to be an IC. Makes perfect sense to me.
You don't KNOW anything about Spheris if you haven't worked for them. You are only speculating with rumors.
OSI's management has been all over these boards
making up a different moniker for each happy, happy OSi employee they pretend to be throughout the day. Just the fact that they have nothing better to do than this and the fact that they're such immature deceptive babies just shows the lack of class that is running this company.
They show their lack of professionalism on here every day and they think we're all too stupid to notice.
They posted on all the MT boards.
I did not like the tone of their ad. If you pass our test we'll call you, etc. Like they are doing you a favor. Hello, without MTs you don't have a business. On their website it says their rates start at 7.5 cpl for the clients. How much do the MTs make then? I'm really sick of these places making money off our digits and not paying more than McDonalds. I think they offshore too. I guess I'm in a bad mood. Sorry.
