Thank you! that was really kind of you. didn't know nice people were still around, LOL. sm
we all know as with everything, time and circumstances change. sorry to hear your outcomes. i too hope TT will hold up to its end of the bargain as they have something great going on now and we need companies like this.
If it's the one in the Carolinas, they offer 7.5 cpl and use MPWord, or did in January. Nice

A 2006 ad said they use MT-World software. I found it kind of clunky using it for another service.

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
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. 
What kind of experience do you have?
x
And, you have all kind of people here who say
they cannot leave home, they have a kid, husband, etc., so they have to work at home. Do people not think the MTSOs see this? They have most where they want them. They can QA you to death, lower your rates, make your line count higher, make you work when they only need you and YET, the people continue saying but I cant leave the home. Well, then work from home and be satisfied with your lot.
What kind of platform does People Support use?
z
They're kind of new. Older posts had people having difficulty with them. nm
s
I try to be kind and give people the benefit of the doubt, but I have to agree. sm
It all sounds like a bunch of hooey. My ex husband used to tell lies when the truth would have worked better. Perhaps she is related to him. 
I cannot believe any MT would not know at least the most important aspects of the BOS. True, with some accounts, you ignore the BOS and do it however the client wants it, but still, you should KNOW the rules.
Maybe I'll just put out a shingle and call myself a lawyer. Of course, I know nothing about the law ... but maybe that shouldn't be a problem. 
For nice people.....:)
Hey, I'm nice. Can I post?
Hmmm.....what made me happy today? Bf sent flowers; that did it! LOL
Thanks for starting this post, nice to see a good one once in awhile. :)
Nice people ????
I worked at FN for a year and found the people there (with the exception of a couple) to be very difficult and not really caring about their workers whatsoever. I got tired of the ESLs, the people there, and running out of work...so I found another job. I suggest you do the same...you'll be much happier!
Very nice people
I couldn't disagree more with Olive Oyl. I've worked there almost a year myself, and I find everyone to be very nice. I don't get the feeling at all that they do not care about my well being!
Really nice people
I have worked there in the past, and the administrative staff/owner are reallyk nice, understandable, and easy to work with. I would recommend them.
Nice People
From what I remember this Tracey had a conflict with the operating system on her laptop and there were problems with initial installation but her overall experience with GIS ended up pretty good. I think she had to leave because she could not afford to continue her training as she had just graduated MT school. The people at GIS are awesome to work for. I have been there a little more than 2 years and I love it. There are no bipolar supervisors. I think I know who made that post and she was given a one in a lifetime opportunity to slide into management and she failed miserably. Don't know why she blames it on GIS.
Really nice people there,
but it is the only company I have ever quit on the spot with no notice. They had me completely at my wits' end. They didn't have enough work on the accounts they gave me so they kept switching me around - I think I had 4 different accounts in about a week and a half. Because there was no training pay, I couldn't keep putting in all that time learning new stuff. I wouldn't have been able to pay my bills. The people there are really nice though.
Very nice people....sm
I did general transcription for them briefly, I loved it, the sound quality was awesome!!!!!!!, but I could not handle it with working my full time employee position. It was just too much for me. They paid me on time, but for general transcription, the pay for general transcription may be low for some, but I was only doing this for extra money part time....
This is too bad! Why would such nice people
go through this? Every Christmas they would have a party for us, and they would never forget us! I left for personal reasons, just to take some time off and be with my children. I hoped to go back b/c I thought they were so family oriented. I hope that things turn around for everyone there.
Nice to see people who like where they
work and what they do. Question for all you TTers out there. I looked at their web site and they say they want 5 years of experience. Do you know if they'll consider people with 2 years? thanks for your input.
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
Now, now. Glad you're having a nice experience but no need to
By the way, I worked at Precyse a year ago and had a terrible time getting specific questions answered. Maybe it's a problem with individual supervisors. It's unfair to discount others' experiences.
I still think the company has good potential.
Thank you -- that is a nice thing to say. I realize my experience will not always sm
be the same as someone else's, but I try to share what I know and help if I can. This board has been tremendously helpful sometimes. I once was considering taking a job with a company, and I did some research here and lo and behold, they apparently had a reputation for not paying their MTs! Even on those days that I truly love my job, I don't love it enough to do it for free. The idea of me living in a refrigerator box (with a microwave box for the doggie, of course) is NOT appealing!
Thanks again.
For nice people only no bashers
This is a peaceful message.
Post here only if you have something nice to say.
Ugly messages not allowed!
Worked for them, nice people, low pay. nm

Nice people, but I was switched from
account to account because they ran out work. I also agree with Regina about the non-stop e-mails, etc.--too much distraction during the work day. They pay on time as agreed, but not too much. I'd say keep looking.
Nice people, but the pay scale is quite
complicated and very low. You can only get the top line rate if you're a CMT and trained on multiple accounts. They do send you a computer, but they don't charge for it. The most telling thing is that my former supervisor left shortly after I did. I say keep looking.
Be nice, people - it's Friday
    
Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO. QA is very helpful and always encouraging. I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake. The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work.
Nice people at Amphion, but there
were workflow issues and the pay is rather low. I gave it half a year, but I had to move on. There was also an issue with having to fill in demographics, which burned a lot of time.
yeh, forget it if the people are nice.
Yes, Precyse provides everything, very nice people there.
x
I like Phoenix, very nice people there sm
If you are okay with being IC, give them a try.
What did you want to know? Nice bunch of people. nm
nm
I am one of those nice helpful people (sm)
who work there but am just a worker bee...ain't management and don't ever wanna be management. I'd love to know what the lie was, just 'cause curiosity killed the Hayseed 
Nice people at Spheris
You are so right; however, with horrible unitelligible dictators and lousy sound quality, I could not make a living there. Also, too many inconsistencies and subjective QA-ing. When the dictator says duh x-ray, and you type the and get counted off because QA thnks it should be an or ptient's x-ray that gets under one's skin in a hurry.
They are nice. If you do something wrong, they tell you. That is their job, isn't? You people.
nm
Nice people but be aware....sm
they do not pay for spaces, even if they tell you they do. You need to definitely get this is writing (the spaces part). You will find your check short about 20% and you won't get the money either. Bad experience for me. Most people probably don't check their line counts. Maybe this has changed but I know others had this problem too (old posts here). Good luck.
Nice people, pay on the low side
I worked for them about 3 years ago. The managers were all very nice. They have an odd payscale which is based on your expereince, production and how much work your send to QA. And I thought the pay was a little low.
Hope I helped.

They are not nice people to deal with and
only a few of the chosen can get away with even making suggestions. The rest of us are called unhappy and just told to find another job. This starts at the top and falls all the way down the ladder in management. No one cares about you, you are just a number and you are not as important to them as the Indians. Their efforts to try to retain good MTs is just a facade, there is no truth to it. They would rather we all just left.
Great for some maybe....but they are nice people...nm
xxxxx
The Amphion people are nice but
I got laid off after months of no work. This was back in January, I think. Because of the lack of work, I kept bouncing back and forth from different accounts, had to use EditScript (ASR) and couldn't make my lines. They did me a favor by laying me off. It was not a good fit for me and I went back to my old job, making 9 cpl; however, that job is transitioning to EditScript as of June 1st. Just can't win, I guess.
AMEN! Very nice people and they sm
WILL work with you, but they do tell you anything to get you into something then you find out it is a bunch of bull.
Nice doesn't cut a paycheck!
They may have more than 1 platform. I was using MPWord with them about 3 mos. ago. nm
s
Nice Try Flo, 10 years experience doing what, raising kids?
hmmmmm??
Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
totally agree - nice people though -nm
nm
Very happy with PS. Extremely nice people. sm
Their platform is fully over internet. It has a few bugs, but they are working these out all the time. These are just plain nice people running that place. I really have enjoyed them and am so happy to have shed the stress of the uncertainty with MedQuist. Proscript does not offshore, either.
The big thing I like about Proscript is that they all work together pleasantly. With MQ, we are left out there alone without the tools to do a good job. With Proscript I actually feel I am part of an organization that is genuinely dedicated to doing a good job - and provides the tools and the feedback to do that. I like the QA people, too. They provide good feedback done in a diplomatic way - and they know we are all just human, which helps.
I worked for them for a few weeks. Very nice people (sm)
I just could not make their minimum and found platform to be cumbersome - but it may have just been me.
I do. Very nice people. I have plenty of work sm
Pay is on time. Nobody bothers me. I have a great account and wonderful software that is Word based,but they have several accounts a couple of different platforms, so not sure what the others are like.
I had the same problem. Nice people and benefits,
NM
