I am sure they work extremely hard, lol.
They are used to that from setting up their dirt houses and what not. They are used to working hard trying to fight for food scraps.
2006 posts said QA is VERY picky here. Pay was 6-9 cpl. Under

That's extremely hard to believe
xx
What is so picky about them? I don't think wanting accuracy is picky...
It is professional...
They pay 0.015 cpl for QA work! Extremely, extremely low, low, low. nm

Wow, years ago. Are they still in existence? Some places with lists of MT services are extremely

Many posts about it being very hard to get
lines because of the way they count them, supposed deducts for low QA, frequently switched from one account to another, they are in the process of training MTs in Trinidad, so obviously they support offshoring.
Frequent posts about how hard it is to get
lines and how they can't make money. They are currently training women in Trinidad to do MT, which means it won't be long before the jobs go to Trinidad too.
Not when you have so many accounts and no work. How do you like the picky nothing stuff they deduct
off for the 98% QA. I have never seen such BS in my life. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Has no bearing on what an MT can or cannot do. It is all designed to get rid of more QA people and to make sure no one makes the bonus. No doubt about that. Has anyone tried to discuss this with them or is that impossible.
I have worked for a company that is SO picky and you have to do so much demographic work
before you ever get to the report. Then you have to switch screens, take out an underscore in 2 places, change the worktype in 3 places if the doc doesn't put it in right, IM someone to look up the name for letters (which is about half my worktype), change screens again to get the billing number, paste it in, and THEN you can start the report. Ahhhhhhh!
All for 1 cent more per line than the reports I do for another place that all I have to do is enter a MRN and I'm there, in the report, and no medications, no demographics. Now one of these days I am going to be brave and just switch altogether to this company.
Gee, I tried real hard to find those good posts,
but all I could find, in addition to the other complaints already listed, were complaints about being in the "middle of an 11-minute job when it was pulled and given to someone else," "There has to be a better way NOT to make a living," "I know I am going to end up on food stamps," complaints of no compensation for down time and BTXT being down and MTs not being notified.
If there were one or two positive comments about it on there somewhere, they are certainly overshadowed by all the justified negativity, outrage and frustration that's there.
I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you recommend that anyone apply there for employment these days. It used to be a good company, and like the song says, "Used-to-be's don't count any more." Although I don't expect them to "bring me flowers" I do expect to be able to earn a living wage, and those days are quickly disappearing.
Old posts said their pay scale is very convoluted & hard to figure out. You

Haven't heard of them in my 25 years as an MT.
Try a Google search and see what you come up with.
What incentive pay? In 5 years I haven't gotten
anything for holidays and have worked most of them.
I got one too and haven't worked for them for two years-thanks. lol nm

I haven't missed any in 8 years.
It won't help the short check situation, happens in every company - just an error you have to have corrected with another check/deposit.
LOL, I haven't thought of that in years!

I think they're new. Haven't heard of them in all my years of doing MT. nm

Unions haven't helped much in years
Sadly, they've become more of a corporation themselves. You pay dues and if a conpany wants to bail or relocate or outsource, they still can and do.
If you have worked for us for two years and haven't gotten a raise or a bonus....
you need to contact Liz, as she states. We have many bonuses for weekends (when busy) and we also pay LD. If you are not getting long distance paid - speak to Liz. If you are a true employee, and not just getting on the bashing bandwagon, then Liz can help you.
Extremely low for VA work
Worked in VA a long time and it tends to be very challenging and very ESL. For VBC, this is a really low rate.
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
I've been working weekends for 7 years and haven't heard of this.

Extremely low work load right now
Supposedly new accounts are coming on board soon.....I sure hope so!
Huh? I am swamped with work.... it is extremely busy.
Are you sure you are talking about the same place????
Great bennies but extremely disorganized and out of work a lot. nm
nm
It's third shift work; we are extremely busy and they have a lot of (see inside)
accounts. I love Transcend. Best place I ever worked
Posts from years ago said it was really bad there. Wonder if anyone will 'fess up
s
Thanks for your posts. I've been in the plan for several years...sm
So I am very curious about how this pans out. I'm 100% vested and never NOTICED anything odd, but after this long...i probably wouldn't. We've also changed carries several times (prudential, metlife, etc.), I think 4 times since I've been with them, so I'm surprised there haven't been more errors. Or maybe there have been...how would we know?
They've been around for years and the posts are always negative.
s
I have been there awhile. The good posts are because over the past few years sm
they have really worked hard to improve employee relationships and it has worked. There are no problems there anymore. They used to say they were growing pains and we all wondered how long they could say that. Now I am glad I stuck it out because all the old problems (and I mean old being over 2 years or more) are gone. Great company to work for.
I left there several years ago, but from reading recent posts, SM
it seems to me that if it's the MTs who have been there for a couple of years or more that are are liking it fine there and sing the praises, and that it is the new hires or recently hired people who don't like it and don't seem to get work or at least get bounced around. Just an observation from what I've read. HTH.
these posts are over 2 years old. I have experienced NONE of the problems others have listed. sm
Obviously, they made some changes when they moved. Maybe they had an unscrupulous person working there before?? I do not know, but i have ALWAYS gotten paid! I certainly would not have stayed for 1.5 years if the scenario was any different.
I haven't had enough work at MDI-MD lately.
I get up just to find there's no work. Then it will start coming in and I start working, only to run out. Hard to keep a rhythm going when you keep running out of work.
I don't think so. If you were, you would be willing to post where you work. Still haven't se

What lull? Haven't been out of work yet nm

IT will work, though I haven't used it. I HATE
SH with a passion. I used PRD previously and it was so much better. Enterprise needs work. They are frequently updating it so it is getting better, though still have miles to go.
There was a lag in work about a month ago, but now it seems that half the accounts are on OT on a regular basis.
You got your W2 already? I work there but haven't received (sm)
mine yet. I was hoping to get it as an attachment to print out also and not have to wait for it to come in the mail.
I haven't even started work yet, but I have
to say I am SO impressed with this company. Pay is better than average, pay for OT (the last 2 companies I have only been paid normal line rate for extra lines), shift differential. Insurance starts the first day of the month after being hired, so no 90 day waiting period. They may 50% of 401K up to 6%. There is a 90-day waiting period for the 401K and some of the benefits. Free vision insurance. The medical/dental insurance is better than any I have seen and it is very reasonable. I currently have insurance through my husband's company and while the premium is reasonable the insurance isn't very good, high deductible, high co-pay. Their insurance is much better and I think premium is only $10/more than what we are currently paying.
Direct deposit. They supply computer/equipment. I don't have personal experience with the platform yet, but it sounds user friendly. They do expect you to work your schedule.
They train you on your shift, so that if you work third shift you don't have to train 1st shift, they will train you on third shift. Paid for 4 hours of training at 13.50.
I am so excited about starting with them. They did not have an ad running when I applied, but according to their website they were hiring and I submitted my resume. They have testing through a third-party company. Testing is timed and one section gave me a little bit of trouble, but the transcription part was easy and not the horrible dictation that you often get. I don't know if it actually represents their dictation since it is done through a third party and the dictation files I'm sure are subject to change.
I haven't but the company I used to work for asked
MTs to take a cut or risk losing the account because the account wanted to go offshore.
Employees that work hard
I am sure that this may be the case in some instances, but to lump sum all MTs/editors/employees is not fair and accurate. I am a very hard working employee. I work 7 days/nights/weekends every week. I work and volunteer for ALL holidays even when not scheduled and I worked WHENEVER I was asked to work extra to cover for vacations or sickness. I have not complained, I have always been SO thankful to have my job. What did that result in? Well, let me tell you. I am now one of the Heartland Information Services laid off employees!!!! It did not matter in the end how many hours/days/nights/weekends/holidays that I worked, I am no longer employed by the company I had planned to retire from!! My loyality was betrayed and I am just supposed to keep going on and being loyal again? Think about that one! Respect and loyalty is a two way street. Treat the employees how they want to be treated and you will be treated with respect and loyalty as well. It cannot be low pay, minimal benefits and lay offs at a drop of a hat and in return expect absolute loyalty from employees. We have to work together in the end.
I haven't needed more work - there is plenty on my acct
x
i don't find that to be true, i work there & haven't had problems with pay. sm
never have i encountered disorganization or rude people so far. maybe things have changed or wrong company?
Is it hard to get lines at Precyse? Does work run
nm
I work very hard, usually 7 days a week.
I work any hours needed. What is my reward? I get stuck on the garbage accounts, the ones who bellyache get the easy accounts and get put on steady accounts. I think I have learned 8 new accounts in the last 2 months, and none of them were decent accounts. My line count is good, but would be wonderful if I ever had an account I could get used to. These companies beat you up and then throw you to the dogs.
The scum that plays kiss-$$$ get paid more, take off when they want, and get choice of days off, holidays, so they can be with their ill-behaved brats whenever they want to be.
Don't tell me about ethics, tell the MTSOs they need to improve their ethics and then then they could have decent employees.
TT is a great place to work for. It is not that hard to
reach and maintain a decent line count. Incentives are fair and not to hard to reach. ExText is the best platform, at least in my 18 year experience. Great people, tons of work and the ESL percentage is about 20-25%.
I make that much $ too but i work very hard. Its possible, not easy.

Because you keep thinking things will get better with hard work, not always.
nm
You'll work twice as hard to get half as much, it seems
z
Hard to get work, but feedback really great.
Wish there was so much work I could be off DQA in time, and pay the bills, it would be so wonderful! How are you doing.. Hope you are hanging in! :)
