Thanks so much!

Best of luck and keep us posted. I am all for MTs getting benefits and paid time off and working for the state or the county is always pretty much secure and great benefits.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

They all ended up with companies that are where Diskriter was 3 years ago, going through a complete management revamp and all only offered IC status at a lower rate than I am making employee status with DR, all of them required the same scheduling, although I think Diskriter is pretty darned flexible, never been told no or had a problem if I needed to switch days, leave early, etc.  All of these past employees who were at DR are now at other companies.  One of them got DR into the huge mess they were in to begin with .  They have all said they'll hire me any day, no interview, no questions asked, but what they have offered preliminarily without my application was worse than where I'm at for line rates now.  If you search the archives on the companies their with now, the responses from MTs there will say nothing better or worse than you see with DR, it is all a matter of OPINION again and to each his own. 

If you are an MT looking into DR, go with your gut, if you feel like they might be right for you -forget the pre-employment requirements and background checks as an excuse to not apply, that is a pretty silly reason not to apply or accept a job, only desperate companies hire just by looking at a resume and not doing any background or physicals.  DR is not a desperate company - we are all very qualified MTs who pick up the slack when needed until we get new people that are just as qualified.

I guess they have plenty of time and money to waste.  Makes you wonder if they had someone there with an axe to grind against you.  It's possible that person saw your name and decided to use a loophole to not hire you, but its still a rotten thing to do anytime, much less during the holiday season.

Good luck and hopefully other companies will treat you fairly.

I contacted K&R to ask them to verify the security officer's name.  I haven't heard anything.  The other very weird thing is that their website does NOT have their address unless I missed it.  I had to Google the company and get the address that way.

It's just a weird set up.  I think I may back out as well.

I have been waiting and waiting and they have my contract and all the paperwork and they are nowhere to be found.  Anyone else have this experience?

That tells you how much our so-called govenrment of the people, for the people is working nowadays. Lately, the slogan is Of the rich, for the rich, and to heck with the middle class....take their money and run before they get wise.

They don't give %$%#@% about us. All they care about is how much money they're getting from big business and the rich.

You will get an email that says congratulations you passed, so on and so forth

on the job boards.  I took the written test and aced it and they sent me the voice files to transcribe.   The voice files were of poor quality I decided not to do the testing.   I was contacted after the written test and told to contact them again after the transcription part. I never contacted them and they never contacted me again.  The woman I dealt with was a bit ditsy.

We did not get into any of the details such as pay, so I'm not any help there. 

owner and conducted negotiations in a professional manner so the matter could be resolved.
