No affiliation with Transend, but that was a DAMN good post and fall under
all companies, all posts. These same "cheerleaders" have posted negative on other companies IM SURE, but yet when they find their place they think it okay to bash others who have not. Very annoying. There is nothing wrong with giving neg/pos on companies, but it should NOT lead to an argument, bashing, etc. When making a decision a pro/con list is very affective and those looking for a new company or doing just that by reading this information. I have turned jobs down solely for the "attitudes" of the cheerleaders. I figure if they have people that snotty and high and mighty working for them, I don't want to be in that category or atmosphere!!
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly. sm
I left KS a few months ago after having a near nervous breakdown. I had too much going on in my life and thought that it would be better to go work in a hospital.
The Good: They are growing, have very stable accounts and keep all their customers. Pay is on time and there is direct deposit. The rules have become clear in what is expected of you. They are very personal.
The Bad: The insurance is terrible and expensive but I heard they are getting BC/BS in the fall for sure. The pay used to be late here and there for a few days. It is fixed now and has been for a very long time. The growth caused some changes that did not work and more changes were made to correct the problems caused, which seemed like chaos from the outside looking in.
The Ugly: They went through some terrible growing pains a few years ago and have been dodging bullets from former employees. There were late checks and no direct deposit. There was not a lot of work because they overhired.
The diagnosis: Once they got over the hump several months ago, things evened out and have been for a while. I want to go back but I'm afraid they won't take me.
How do I know all this? My best friend still works there and is very, very happy. I made a mistake leaving but now my life is on an even keel. I made a lot of money there.
DRC good, bad, ugly?
Any info i.e. are they good to work for or anything would be appreciated.
99% good, No Bad, No Ugly ... sm
Except for a short period of time when work ran low on one account only my experience has been 99% good. No place is perfect, but I have absolutely no complaints. The people treat me like a human being, I love the platform, the sound quality is great, they pay the long distance bill, the benefits are superior. Best move I ever made.

the good, bad, and ugly
I was wondering if anybody out there would be willing to give the good and bad about what company they work at, or used to work at. I'm trying to figure out who it would be worthwhile to send resumes to and who I should just stay away from. I'm interested in the management, scheduling, line requirements, pay rate, benefits, and provided equipment. I'd greatly appreciate any info you have. Thanks!

MTS of Texas..the good, the bad, and the ugly..sm
Good: Pay on time, but the amount is almost always incorrect. Bad & Ugly: Pay by the minute. Owners will tell you it equals out to be the same as being paid by the line. NOT. They use Meditech - a very antiquated version of it. QA dept. is laughable (i.e., close enough, just leave it out). Little to no IT support. Owner recently sold the company to her son.

My experience was UGLY. Very ugly.
Just keep your other job until you're sure....good luck.
Thank you. MDI/ Transend hmm sm
thank you, very helpful Not to disclose rates hey, hmmm. Know what I do, I email first and ask the lowest to highest so both sides don't waste valuable time and would be happy to then send resume or test and many/most do respond.
Transend
Any information on Transend, example 4.5 hours training and then another hour of doing sample reports with feedback. Plateform difficult? Anybody
I will have a new job, but it won't be with TRANSEND
I refuse to work for a company who is going to lower our compensation rates, send our work out to India or do a majority of it VR....no way!!
With all the extra I time I put into MDI because we would receive countless emails about helping out, that she is helping us save our jobs BS, I refuse to go with another company that is looking for someone to work for pennies. Reading prior posts, it does not seem Transcend MTs are really happy with their company. I refuse to sell my soul to the devil like Dorothy did!
Any info on Transend
Could anyone tell me anything good or bad about Transend?
Thank you
Did MDI and Transend merge?
Is that the MDI in Florida or Maryland? Wondering.
I don't know anything about Transend, but they can't possibly
me worse than SoftScript. If you read back through old posts there are lots of posts about both of them.
Transend acquistions
I was sold toTranscend as part of a package as well. I was happy with all of the personnel (QA, team leads etc) in my previous company..........good responses to IMs, emails etc. They have left now Trascend for other opportunites. Honestly I am not sure why, but cannot imagine it was because they were happy.
Transend/MDI pay cuts
To all Transcend MTs, I am syaing without any form of hostility, welcome to our world. I am wondering if any of you have the answers to the questions us MDIers have been asking: Is IC still an option? Will be be limited to a 40-hour work week? Will our schedule include 1 weekend day EVERY weekend? What happens if we can't (because of lack of work) meet our commitments? Can we expect a cpl drop? Will we be forced to VR? Will we have a set schedule or can we work when we want? How is the current work flow, is there enough for everyone? What percentage of work is being outsourced and what are the projections for next year?
These are questions that us MDIers cannot get answered. Do you Transcend MTs have any REAL and credible answers?
There was a MT that was venting in regards to Transend on their private board sm
(it is automatically set up so if you enter you know who is posting . . name displayed)and the other employees and management was nasty as h++ so believe me I wouldn't post any thing on the private board negative. I have already resigned. I have a week left.
Address the same as Transend Services - HMMMMM ???
How much are single insurance rates???? Webmedx, Axolotl, Keystrokes, TT, Transend?
Thanks for the info!
We were not ugly
We were not ugly. Stacy came on and stated that her two most important factors in chosing a company was to have a computer provided and to have paid maternity leave and that was in CAPS. She did not state that she was wanting to earn more PTO time and to use that, she wanted to be PAID after having a child. At 4 hours per pay period that is 12 days a year and that is pretty norm for this profession. Like I told Stacy, would you pay a babysitter or a nanny when they wanted six weeks off and you had to pull in someone to do their job so you were paying double and earning the same income. It is really hard to provide benefits and a decent pay in this field. Yell at me all you want, but the balancing act is very hard to do. And like the prior poster also said, the companies change so often between merges, buy-outs, and out sourcing that what you sign on for in 2006 probably won't be the same in 2007 or 2008 for sure. So if stability is what Stacy wants, I think that she needs to look elsewhere like a union job or a state/city or county position where it is spelled out in black and white what she will receive for the next three years. We did not mean to make you feel bad but again, you posted several times about maternity leave and we are not mind readers you should have posted need to accrue PTO at a faster rate. But we were not nasty or ugly and just stated the facts in this field.
bad and ugly.

Not sure why you have to be ugly
What was the purpose of the very nasty responses to this question? I happen to agree w/ the original poster on this and see no reason for why you had to be so hatefuly in replying. Did it make you feel better? Do you talk to your employers, friends, families, etc., this way?  If so, I must say I feel sorry for you AND them.
Why do you have to be so ugly about it?!?!
I did not take it as this person ripping apart any company at all. They were just stating what so many on this board have stated many, MANY times and in a sense they are correct. It does not take much to set up an automated reply, trust me if I can do it, anyone can. I just don't understand why people have to attack others on this board when they are simply just stating THEIR opinion, if you don't like it then stop reading and move on to another post, it's that simple.
Ugly. Dont even consider it.
They profess to be a good fine Christian organization but they are FAR from it.
