I did and completed the testing..got paperwork sent in but havent heard back

yet? 

The accounts weren't too horribly bad.  The reason I ended up leaving was because slowly but surely they began to inch closer and closer to paying QA by production.  When I first started, the quota was something like 30 reports a day.   We simply had to make sure that we QA'd all reports that were close to being out of TAT first and then do the rest.  Then, my supervisor left and they hired a new one who immediately called a big teleconference meeting and said we had to up production to 60 reports a day.  Then, they started counting lines.  Which was fine because they were still paying hourly.

Next, there was an MT who used VR software because she was blind - yes blind.  Again, when I first started, I was told we had to edit her entire reports because she used the VR software and we had to make sure that everything was correct and made sense.  Then, we are told only check the blanks.  I wasn't comfortable with that and I continued to completely proof every word.  Then I was called on the carpet not because I wasn't meeting the production quota, but because I was ONLY meeting the production quota.  I told them I was proofing all of the MT's work that used VR, I was told that no one ever told me to proof every word of the VR reports and that I needed to fill in blanks and move on.  When I voiced my concerns, I was told that was my job, to fill in blanks and I should move on and strive to product above the standards.  Next thing you know, rumors abounded about changing the QA staff to being paid on production.  So I left. 

There just seemed to me to be too little concern for quality and more emphasis on quantity and I just didn't want to be part of company who would take money out of my pocket just to line their own and that's what they were doing by putting QA on production.  I also am not comfortable with the job of QA being thought of as a blank filler.  There is much more to the QA profession than just simply filling in blanks. 

I don't know if Transcend ever did start paying QA by production, but I could see that the idea was being floated there.  Maybe there was a enough protest that they didn't change from hourly. 

Good luck to you!

happier.  I am on a different account then the first time and it is as if it is a different company.  I have a great lead who leaves us alone most of the time but is there when I need her.  It showed me that you can have a different experience within the same company.

I have to say that in the few weeks since they have the new office, it is much more organized probably because there are a lot of people there all the time.  I had the pleasure of speaking to the new HR manager who was HR at a hospital, got my questions answered about insurance as I am going to full time and had a live voice pick up the phone.

Not all change is bad.  This is one company that has changed for the better. 

Has anyone heard of Transform?? www.transformmt.com

I just got the test, and I was wondering if anyone working for them or knowing anything about them could put their 2 cents in?? Thanks ahead of time.

Anyone have any experience with this company?  Are they flexible with shifts (maybe offer a 12-hour window)?  Pay?  Benefits?  Ease in getting lines?  Do they assign dictators so an MT can get used to their voices and phrases, etc.?

Thanks in advance for any info.  Am trying to decide whether to apply and don't want to waste anyone's time. 

First let me say this was my experience:  I do not work with them currently.

Positives: Pay was on time, plenty of work, benefits, direct deposit, the pay was average, I was making 8/line with an orthopedic account.

Negatives: My boss did not respond to my questions, the platform was very slow (but they to act like its your computer. I have road runner cable connection and have never had a problem with any system, except theirs). I worked 10 to 11 hours just to meet my line count (and I am an above average typist, right now I average 1800 lines a day). I worked on their orthopedic account and I have about 7 years of experience in orthopedics,  they did not have a interface for their patients, so we had to print out the doctor's patient list everyday to get their information (social #, patient ID #, date exam, etc) to put into the system, so I spent a lot of time doing research and shuffling through the different schedules. Also they did not pay for header information, which we put in. When my boss did answer me it was in a very condenscending tone. Also I only got about an hour of traning on their system.

I stayed with for about a month and gave them a 2-week's notice.  Maybe they have changed. This was in October, 2005 when I worked with them.

Good luck. PS I now work with a company that I am 98% happy with, hopefully you will find a good match for you.
