They all have something to hide. SM

Having a forum where they can suposedly answer questions is useless. Recruiters are not the appropriate people to find out about what it's like to work somewhere. They are paid to put a spin on every potentially negative thing - not to mention most of them have never typed a report. Companies also change recruiters like they change underwear, so getting an answer one day from one person means nothing when you are dealing with someone else.
The company owners are not appropriate because if you dared to ask about something that doesn't measure up, they tend to get very huffy and start demanding that posts be deleted.

They are probably trying to hide again because they
have a horrendous reputation. They have moved from one state to another, hid behind the software company, and now they have changed their name it seems. The claim to be Christian, but their actions say otherwise.
I would avoid them at all costs.
You should never have to pay up front for equipment/software to work for a company. They may require you to have the equipment, but they should not require you to buy it from them and if they offer to sell it they should to it on a payroll deduction.
Nothing to hide - sm
Maybe personal files, pictures... I really don't think that anyone would choose to have someone have total access to their PC at anytime. Just what I think.
really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
proveros cant hide
This is hilarious. I am sure shortly Syd or Sheri at Proveros will whine to take these posts down. Because it is defamatory. LOL But you can run but you cant hide. Proveros is a deplorable company to work for for FREE.. Bottom line over and over and over again.. Pay is LATE or NON existent. Whine away girls at Proveros. We all know the deal.
they aren't even trying to hide where sm
they are at anymore are they? They want Americans to come to Saudi Arabia?
Don't know if you remember this but back in the 80s and 90s, many MTs use to go to Saudi Arabia for a contracted amount of time to work as MTs. The draw for many MTs was the fact taht they money was ridiculously high, food and housing was free and MTs went over there to make the big bucks in a short time. Kind of like American civilian workers who go to Iraq to work contract jobs.
I know several MTs that went over there and for women the conditions were outrageous. you have to go by their laws.......you can imagine. I wonder if this is like that OR if this is something else and they actually expect Americans to come over there and work?
I don't even know why that website allows these companies to post their work ads. Ridiculous. Its like a big slap in the face.

When a company is secretive about who they are, they are trying to hide something.
I won't respond to someone that does not say who they are because you have no clue whether or not they are even legitimate.
DITTO They used to hide it & fired former QA mgr
If they had NOTHING to hide she should have NEVER BEEN FIRED!! She was a super QA manager. When she got fired a mass exit of MT followed.
Be glad you did not go to work for OSI. You are much better off anywhere else.
Oh that's pathetic...trying to hide their names because they don't pay them MTs. These
companies need to have their names out there. I don't care what their excuse is...if a MT works for you, no matter how long or circumstances, pay them!!! They need to be turned in. I find it disgusting to NOT pay your employees and keep trying to recruit more suckers. Shame on them.
Because anonymity is a cloak to hide behind
No way would anyone speak to another person they way they do here. Most people have self-control, but here, that is thrown to the wind.
I didn't know people could be so mean to each other until I started reading on this board!
No way...TROLLS hide under bridges
And those things are annoying and smell bad.

I wasn't aware that Medware was trying to hide their
involvement in India with Medware India. This is actually a very good program, just like the one Transcription Relief Services has going on.
Neither of these companies sneak around and hide the fact that they offshore and both companies still actively hire US MTs and editors.
I am very happy with my editing job at Medware and having the opportunity to work with some really great professionals in this industry.
If you would rather work for a company who offshores and then lies to their employees and clients about it, then go for it. To me that is a very unstable situation to be in.
Sending work offshore is a fact of life, the way a company goes about it is what makes the difference.
Spheris does not hide the fact it off shores. It was a
news letter.
Personally, I think that is awesome. They're not trying hide anything from anybody. I think tha
would be a company worth checking into.
If transcend has so much to hide and has to treat everyone with threats, they stay away.
That is a big red flag in everyone's face. From what I read, they are going downhill fast with lots of disgruntled employees anyway, so I am sure they will all leave the company "at will" when they find new jobs.
If you're not afraid to hide, then tell us who you are so we DON'T apply to your company!!!!
AND, if you don't NEED us for anything, then why are you HERE!! Go away!
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
