The company stinks and if you look back through

the archives you'll be hard pressed to find a good post about them, and then they have to be from someone in management. Even people that didn't listen to our experience and went to work for them are living and regretting they didn't listen. Absolute worst company there is.

Company ok, but the human ratsources and payroll stinks.
They play good game of being KGB, screw up more than anyone else in the company, but never get in trouble, just keep compounding their mistakes. The wondeful programs to keep track of us never work right, but they are so nasty to us that no one wants to work for them. Why is management so blind?
Version 8 stinks. I would not do purchase anything to work for a company.
don't do it, unless they are paying you 12 cpl to edit the VR.
Tell them you can not afford it with the line rate they pay...he he!
Happy New Year!!
No - the company gets hit with back SS
Of course, I'm assuming that the IC has been filing her taxes, etc. as required for people who are self-employed. If not, that's a different issue.
Company board is back. NM.

All of them, its not the company that holds you back

And this time the company bit back, right?
I saw these posts and they were out of line. It was like the OP was trying to pick a fight with them. I hear the OP not saying anything else now, probably for the best. I do not blame the company. There were scads of people on here that seemed to love to join in and bash them. What goes around....
Has anyone ever gone back to work for a previous company?
I was just wondering if any of you out there had ever gone back to work for a company that you had worke at before. What was your experience in doing so? Is it worth looking into?
Thanks for any help.
I agree...I found this company to be very back and forth...
when there is work, everything is great...but when there is no work and you want more, somehow they can't come up with any and make excuses as to the lack of work, et cetera...I moved on and am happy I did... I know people who are happy there so to each their own, this is just my own experience...good luck!!!
They are a very good company. I went back and am happy I did.
Not cheerleading just being honest. They have always treated me extremely well.
If your company is never out of work or always back-logged, can you state the name? Thx. nm

I went to another company that offered "much more" came back to Spheris because
nm
It is the real deal. Back to not every company suits every one.
I have been there 2+ years and never had any problems. I make good money, have a good account, don't get bounced around, and have good management. The recruiter is very good to try and answer your questions or you can email me and I will tell you what I know.
Awhile back, someone posted about a company that considered sm
30 hours a week to be FT with benefits. Does anyone remember the name of that company?
Thanks so much.
The company I work for went to VR a few months back. I was as terrified as you are. sm
It has been OK. I like doing the VR work, and my check is really no different than it was before the change. I do a lot more in terms of production in the same amount of time.
The downside is that the increased production, even though in the same timeframe, is taking its toll on me. It is stressful.
If you get an easy report that has very few edits, you will fly through it. If you get one that is full of errors, it will take you longer than typing it from scratch.
It's a catch-22 in that we really don't have a choice but the good news is that my pay has not suffered and my hands are not as tired.
If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it

It was a great company before othey sold out to Medquist years back.
Now it's crap.
Wonderful company!!! Left for personal reasons. Would go back with no hesitation! nm

Do you really mean 12/14/05 or 2/14/06? Stinks either way. nm

0.7 cpl STINKS
I heard back too. No thanks!
GP.... This really stinks.......... sm
I'm really sorry it has happened to you, but like one poster said below, I rather think the ACLU would be interested in this.
I had an employer who threatened to sue me once when I left the company if I influenced any MTs to go with me (as though I had that much influence). I never heard another peep out of him, and hopefully you won't out of this either. I'd cross my fingers for you, but that makes it kinda hard to type. ;o)
Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm
,,
I'd take the other job offer. MQ stinks!
x
Their program stinks!

Cymed STINKS....sm
If you are considering working for this company, they pay 7 cpl for employee status, they do NOT pay for spaces and the lady that does the training is so rude it ain't funny....either she is overworked or she is just a wicked cow!
PLUS, they do outsource and some of the offices lie to you and say they pay for spaces, they don't.
I wouldn't say DSG stinks.....
I previously worked at DSG, but didn't stay because of the sound quality. I now work at GIMT, and their sound quality doesn't even compare! It's so much better than DSG. Other than the sound quality, DSG was okay.
The whole thing stinks. (sm)
I don't think you are getting it! You do realize that before you get a job to edit that it first goes past an Editor in India, don't you?
Crazy stuff, an offshore MT types it, it is then edited by an offshore editor (who is not much better than the MT)and then it comes to us to be edited again with a 100% listen.
I think we have all accepted the fact that offshoring is a reality and we all knew when we accepted the position with MW that we would be editing offshore work, but I did not sign up to work for slave wages ($8) an hour.
I have no clue what your situation is, but I am way too good to work for that. I also have more pride in myself then to be insulted by the people of MW.
I understand, but that stinks for us who need help...
I figured that would be the answer :( Oh well, back to square one.
The pay stinks, in my opinion.

United Stinks!
I tried to work for United for a few days. I specified MULTIPLE times I am NOT a morning person. They disrespected me and called ALL DAY, started phoning before 7 a.m. to ensure I don't sleep at all since I went to bed after 6 a.m.!!!! They sent an email telling me to phone them when I feel like speaking to them. Great...I won't break any nails dialing the phone - TWO MORE STAFF PEOPLE CALLED ME TO HARASS FURTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why were they calling? To ask why I was not typing right then!!! Well duh!!! Second shift begins at 3 p.m. my time and all this drama was going on at 1 p.m. my time!!!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!! GET AN EDUCATION!!!!!!!! LEARN THE TIME ZONES JERKS!!!!!!!!! So, for the money and the harassment and the sweat shop atmosphere, I recommend any other company. This one is not worth the hassle, the time, or the energy since the staff is disrespectful, hateful, inflexible, inconsiderate, unprofessional and unacceptable. Is the money even worth it? No, for my 15 years' experience, they offered 0.08 a line. Oh..another thing...I told them I would work this weekend - they don't have an auto job feed so it took over 3-4 hours for someone to 'send me work since their system is antiquated. Yes, you have to rely on someone to send you work in order to have anything to type and then they send you 2 jobs, you type, you request more work, and you get more work after having downtime of 2 hours. So...in 8 hours, you are lucky to have typed 5-8 jobs. So, to get up to 15 jobs, count on 12-16 hours a day!!!!
stinks as compared to what?

maybe the account stinks
nm
It stinks right now, worse than ever - sm
It seems no one pays much anymore and if they don't post their pay and ask you to state what your requirements are and you tell them, you never hear from them again. Or worse, they have idiotic platforms that are not MT friendly, no matter what they say. I swear there are no decent-paying jobs out there anymore for the MTs who have been doing this for over 20 years.
It's still Apex and it still stinks sm
I'm hoping to leave there this week. It is Apex and it really is the pits. There is nothing MT friendly about it. I also came to realize they only have 1 account so with that always running low there isn't much hope for making a living there.
yes, it is Scribe and it stinks! nm
xxxxxxxxxx
The platform stinks.
a'fkdakdafkd
You emailed me to tell my pay stinks? sm
well first of all, I work part-time 4 hours a day, and make up to $100 a day, so that is $25 an hour, so don't email me and tell me I don't make squat. you don't know anything about my situation, and at least I don't make 4 cents a line for VR, so I consider myself fortunate. Why did you ask such a weird question, then I answer, then you rip. Just another one of the bitter, unprofessional people on this board.
DSG stinks. GIMT is great though
nm
Exactly. India work stinks.
x
grapevine that their platform stinks. Otherwise, I know nothing
m
I knew Transcend stinks,
and they try to hide behind a femce with everything including training pay, which you do not get.
They overhire. Their program stinks.
The training is worse. They outsource work so there is nothing left. The transcription program is horrible and you do 3 times as much work to do a document as you would anyplace else. You cannot use automatic numbering, you cannot do this, you cannot do that, and new rules every day. You spend all day clicking and changing everything.
My account is just over the border in US and it stinks.
nm
Sorry, but your whole story stinks and is really gettting so old!nm
nm
Sorry VR STINKS, I emailed you instead of posting.
You can disregard or share!
She is nice and she does pay promptly and in full, but the pay stinks.
.
That puts it into perspective - and 16 an hour stinks!
x
No - significantly decreased. Bayscribe stinks! nm

Transcend stinks...They used to be awesome but it has gone from bad to worse.
My line count has gone down so I have no doubt they are manipulating line counts and communication is the worse. Everything falls on deaf ears unless they have a problem with you, then they email you very quickly, but forget getting help on anything else. The more TL and QA people they have added the worse it has gotten. Maybe the problem is that they are not sure what their job descriptions are so no one answers emails. I'm done with them.
Stinks, doesn't it? Seems like everytime they do an upgrade sm
the lines get tougher to get.
Same here--weather stinks for work at homers - good riddance to FL. nm
agree, i didn't take the position because the health insurance stinks
the deductibles are too high
