Hired recently for 0.825 cpl.
:)
Recently hired (sm)
They were slow with me too, but I just kept calling every day and letting them know I had to work - Becky is the best person - She will always answer your emails and get things done. she did for me! They are great but you have to be proactive and it works! Good Luck! I'm completely content.....Hope this helps!!
I'm a recently hired IC for MDI
nm
was you recently hired?
How long ago did you work for them? My friend was very recent....
They have recently hired several, don't know
for sure if they are still hiring, but best way to apply is through their website. The recruiters and supervisors do not work in the office, but in their homes. The fax is probably in CA, so faxing the resume may not get you a response.
I was recently hired and did not test.

Were you recently hired for a new account? If so (sm)
wouldn't it be easier for you to ask them at the office if the acct has started, if not when, if it has, ask for a backup. Coming here and complaining does no good.
Just recently hired, and so far I Love it...
e-mail me with specific questions if you want...but I have no complaints thus far.
Well, crap. I was just recently hired
by DSG and have heard only good things from folks nice enough to answer my posts on here.
I'm quitting my full-time job (with a steady paycheck) to work from home with DSG. Gosh, I hope and pray that I make enough money!!! I committed to 1000 lpd and will be IC status Monday when I start.
HELP!! Now I'm scared!! Good luck to you, though.
Recently hired on and was told those of us coming on now (sm)
were eligible to participate immediately in the 401. As far as the matching, their ad states discretionary so I assume it is dependent upon profit margin or something. At least they are up front about it and not telling you they match and then say, Oops, no more like MQ did.
I was hired recently & they did not have enough work to train me.
I had never heard of such a thing before.
Don't bother. I was recently hired and hate it.
is correct in saying that they are not honest. Wish I was aware of that before taking this job. Guess I'll just keep checking the job postings. Should have listened to my daughter she tried to warn me.
I recently hired on and was told they were kind of getting away from 12 hour (sm)
but that a lot of that depended on the account you were hired for.
My contract (was just recently hired for a new acct coming on) does not list any benefits for part-t
It only gives the requirements (as stated in my previous post) for full-time status for benefits. If they used to offer benefits, they are not offering them to new hires, at least that is my impression.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
wow - now THAT is scary.... sm
Something to consider when giving out our private information...
I hope you hear from her soon.
This is scary:(
Anyone way out of line could do the same with any company for that matter. If someone asks a question and wants a truthful answer some flake out there. However, I think if posting as a KS recruiter they should actually be a recruiter. No need to be playing head games with fellow transcriptionists.
scary
I've been posting for months as zzz on the MQ board and I'm not concerned or upset that another zzz is posting. I find it kind of strange, though, that I'm aligned on most of your philosophies. You're a little more aggressive, but I do agree with you on many things including this subject.
The whole cesspool concept is outrageous and I really have no respect for a company who thinks this is good for anyone. I know the idea was to prevent anyone from running out of work (no downtime pay for MQ to worry about too), but...
Anyhow, I do what I have to do for me. They did what they had to do when they took over $300 away from me a month with no warning (daily bonus), so I shall follow my leader.
Now THAT'S s-s-s-sc-sc-scary!
nm
I know, it's so scary when they
screw us over with pay cuts year after year. You're giving me an ulcer worrying with you, LOL. I hope everything works out for you and you're able to make enough money. If not, don't be afraid to move on to a different company. Gotta do what you gotta do to support your family. Crossing my fingers for you!
The scary thing is that quite a few of the
scary people on this board ARE MTSOs. I've seen more than one nutjob running around screaming and ranting to people. "Well, I'd never hire you to work for me!" GOOD!! I don't want to work for some psycho chick with a bad attitude anyways!!! The real shrews expect endentured servitude, don't pay squat, and have poor business management skills. If you're an MTSO and you're taking this post personally, well, I'm probably referring to YOU.
Scary, huh!! I agree:)
nm
You means this are scary?
nm
Scary thought.....
I was actually hired by them and due to begin training when my current company begged me to stay. I'm only making a little less but the benefits are SO much better!! 10 vacation days the 1st year, 6 paid holidays and sick time earned each pay period. And they were willing to agree to my schedule!! I am so happy now after hearing this!!
So true, it's scary! - nm

IC Status-a bit scary
I am going to be switching to IC status soon and was wondering if anyone who is already working as an IC can tell me what kind of line rate I will need to compensate for all the taxes I will have to pay, especially both sides of the social security tax. I am SE status now but that is probably going to change and employee status is not for me. I know taxes vary from state to state but what percentage of taxes do you average when taking them out of your gross paycheck each pay day. TIA for any information.
Yeah, I found that a little scary - sm
I do think though that a lot of places do that and just don't tell you - small MTSOs, of course. I don't believe it's the right thing to do though.
LOL, I agree! Some of these people are scary. nm

scary name. Probably hire "typists". nm

Ew - kinda scary! Thanks for the warning everybody. (nm)
(nm)
The scary part about the new program is (sm)
we will get to see how much time we are actually wasting when we think we are working. - phone calls, interruptions, etc. Many of us who claim we are working 8 hour days are probably working 6, and I'm probably one of the guilty ones. I think it will motivate me.
what is scary is when they threaten to release
confidential information, basically extortion. I guess what I meant in regard to offshoring the work is when they have depleted their staff, what other option will they have?
Wow, you are scary. It sounds like a good thing for
TransTech that you moved on. Good riddance.
The scary part of that is you never know what account you will get when you go with a new company.
That is what worries me most right now leaving my job. I know my accounts. Companies are not always honest about what account you go on and if they have long time MTs they probably have the best stuff so you get what they dont want.
Scary! Wonder what info they are trying to get? Or is it just to peeve off some good MTs?
Isn't it scary how quick people are to go for the jugular
? I think saying west coasts accts are all scary sm
is an overreaction. I've seen Florida, Texas and other accounts that were horrendous. 60% ESL estimate is really not bad at all.
goodness that IS scary, patient records sm
but also the allegations also reflect on your services as an MT and that is BIG, not sure how long been there. It would be important to clear your name in writing. Hopefully you kept the folder as records of truth. So this was a private client you were working for?? as opposed to a national MT company huh
My boss waited a year or more a few times. Scary. -nm

VERY astute! For more scary info. on research & development, (sm)
go to Acusis' home page, click on Careers on the upper left-hand side, and then read the description of the Research Scientist job they want to fill. (In INDIA, of course!) Main interest seems to be word-rec, artificial intelligence, etc. And that word evangelize raises the hairs on the back of my neck.
That's kind of scary. Rose was very nice to me, but then I guess sm
everyone is when they are trying to get you to take a job. The pay seemed decent for being an employee, but if the line counting method cannot be trusted, then I'm not sure that is so great either. And I'm a bit nervous about not having direct deposit. I have heard the check is in the mail story before ... ugh.
Thanks to everyone for your input. It certainly gives me something to think about. 
If you call being ripped off for more than 5 grand harsh & scary?
grow some guts. Unfortunately, this is profession has become a cut throat business, and if harshness is what it takes to get paid, then so be it. We are all just trying to survive here on the piddling pennies with which we are compensated. This MT is an extremely dedicated, hard-working MT whose business has been destroyed by ***********not paying for services rendered. It's unconscionable. It is not meant to be a threat, but rather a forewarning of what it yet to come.
Agree, scary.. and dangerous. Glad I have tons of

This drama NEVER ends! It is SOOOOOO scary, and so boring at the same time!
Now Lee will come on, with an empassioned plea to please call her, and yada, yada, the misunderstandings. This person left, or that person left, or now a new bolt of lightning. It is getting ABSURD to have this regurgitated at least weekly on this board! Same old, same old. I would NEVER work for Keystrokes, and can't imagine anyone falling for this saga and applying. Something is VERY wrong in KS land.
This company is scary, already sending out packed to us with terrible errors in it, and we TT MT'
are to have confidence in this company who does our payroll now, takes care of HR matters, etc. The other HR company had done such a great job for us. Just a little frightening, especially in regards to paychecks being correct and on time.
I said "about to be" hired... not yet hired, and ........
considering it just like I would consider any job.... I didn't accept the job yet and wanted to check out the info out there.
Has been down a lot recently, but..
only for very short periods at a time, not sure if they're doing upgrades or what. Could also be weather-related with the terrible tornadoes this week in parts of the country. You just have to be patient and adjust your schedule slightly when it happens. I love the BeyondTxt platform, it's the easiest I've worked on. IMO, MDI-FL is a very good company, and I can't say that about many out there these days, so was worth it for me.
recently went to an HSA
and went IC.
Actually some of us are ICs. Recently ...
MDI was only hiring ICs with SE status after so many days or months. So there are some ICs that were with MDI.
In my meeting CB said that Transcend had IC, SE and employee and the usual case by case. I think she wrongfully mislead the person who asked this question because that was the first I had heard of their being SE status at Transcend.
I have not had issues until recently and
with you I would; however, I don't! FYI, I am dealing with my issues and if they are not resolved to my satisfaction, I will leave. Thanks for your concern and have a great day! DVW
Recently started too
Flexible schedule but you need to decide what your hours are and commit to them. Benefits granted at 32 hours. Plenty of work. Really good, patient and supportive people. Training with guaranteed pay. Smooth, easy and fast startup. Good, high-tech platform.
