There are diff Sten-Tels (sm)

I worked for them (the one in Springfield, MA) for about 18 months, up until September.  I ended up quitting because there was no work and I could not get anyone, from my account supervisor to HR management, to either a) tell me why the account I was on dried up even though the docs had just opened a second office, or b) get me onto an account that had work, or even c) respond to half my emails (account manager).  I did enjoy the work, it was straight typing (the platform I was on, they have 2), and the work was pretty consistent until mid-July.  After six weeks of begging, I had to move on.  Oh, and the kicker?  When I would actually get work, I could tell by the job number that literally 10s of thousands of jobs had moved through the system since the last time I worked.  But they couldn't find any jobs for me to do....And don't zing me on QA, please.  In the 18 months I was there I only had maybe 5-6 reports come back to be fixed or with notes from the client, and that was early on.

Now, having said that - if they called me and offered me work again under a different account supervisor would I take it? Absolutely. 

There are many different Sten-Tels out there, and from what I can tell they are mostly franchises, with the main branch being the one in Springfield.  They pay once a month, and the checks were usually delievered via USPS anywhere from actually on the 15th to up to a week later.  There were some pay discrepancies a couple of times, but as soon as I mentioned them they were fixed. 

Hope that helps.

I work for Sten-Tel, and they are THE nicest people.  This is the second time I have worked for them, so I am on a different account than the last time, but I really like working there.

Hi.  Has anyone worked for sten-tel?  if so, what platform do they use?  How are they to work for?  Are you able to have flexibility with your schedule?  is the pay decent?

Any help would be very much appreciated

this doesn't sound good.  I finally got a hold of other posts on them.  Do you think you have to be careful when working as a IC as far as getting paid on time?  Do you mind me asking who you work for?  I get many hopeful prospects in then in the end it does not look good.  I hate to jump from the fire to the frying pan.

Thank you for your help. 

anyone have anything good to say about sten-tel.  I saw some postings on here not too good but just wondering if anyone has had a good experience with them. 

I have worked for them for about a year also.  Checks always on time, pleasant people and no one bugs me.  You would have to see what they offer you and that would depend on your experience and how you test.  They will hire MTs with less than a year and they also offer you work in other specialties if you need more work.  I work when I feel like it:)

There are other companies with better benefits and platforms but this is a decent company that pays on time, and if you need flexibility you will certainly find that with them.
