In Reply to: I think the issue is - just me
This is like beating a way dead horse at this point. So many just can't follow the subject of posts. The poster you are responding to is stating the fact that this is JUST LIKE the fiasco that used to go on here regularly with Keystrokes, with management and owners freaking out at any perceived criticism and posting over and over and over defending the company, calling the MTs liars, fakes, whatever. Yes, it is exactly the same, and it shines a very negative light on the company name, worse than the original posting. It is very yucky to see companies posting on here. It does tend to validate the MTs who have complaints. Its just plain old weird.

More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
Uh, look at the posts below. Lots of MTs have their packets. nm

They offshore. Lots of posts about
their poor or lack of communication. Their pay scale is weird, depends on shift, year's experience, CMT, account, etc. I talked with 2 different people when interviewing, recruiter was not honest with me about the account they wanted to put me on, thankfully team leader was. I had previously worked on that account with another company and it was a horrible account. I can't remember if they had more than employee status or if they provide computer, but if you look at their ads on the job boards it should say.
I was told platform was DocQScribe and also WebCorrect was mentioned. Never used them so don't know much about them, but I haven't heard good things about either. Each report had 3 files, 2 of which are not voice files, but supposedly they compensate you 3 (?) lines for each report. Sounds like a pain to me.
There have been lots of posts in the past. Rather
than restate my experience if you will open your post and at the bottom click on related messages and you'll find lots of information.
Lots of negative posts if you do a search. nm

Lots of posts in archives stating that it is
a Indian run company. Supposedly they have a U.S. storefront office in MA. Turnover is very high, which is why they constantly have ads running. The only good thing I've ever heard about them is they will hire newbies. They pretty much have to because an experienced MT would not want to work for them unless they couldn't find a job elsewhere.
I have read lots of posts here and yours, without a doubt,
seems to me to be one of the worst I have seen. You have just told another human being they have nothing of importance to offer to anyone. I saw this and I hope you feel better by posting because I think by far it is the worst as far as putting someone down. For the 1 this was intended for, I hope you take it with a grain of salt and do not stake your life on a statement like this. I would, as my mother used to say, consider the source.
They are a waste of time. Lots of posts in
the archives.

Am I reading your posts wrong...
are you looking for a company who pays for down time hoping that you will have down time and not have to transcribe for 8 hours???
I do work for Axolotl and they pay more per hour for training and down time than any other company I have run across.
Also, just as an aside here, my experience with Axolotl has been very good all around. I have not had any supervisor or manager or QA be anything but professional, kind, helpful. That is my experience.
Also, some companies (not sure if Axolotl is one or not) will hire MTs and get them started BEFORE a new account starts. Yes, work dries up for everyone for awhile but after the new account starts everyone fits into their respective spots and there is plenty of work to go around for all. Some companies just work like that. Again, that is my own personal experience.
Well, lots of people....
have husbands that work the weekend as well, so they dont mind hanging out at home working that schedule. For me personally, that doesn't really work for me either. I have never had a job where weekends were required though.
Posts on pg 2 here and lots at bottom of page 3 make them kind of iffy. nm

A few ex-YOGGERS have been there for awhile, but some aren't there anymore. The ESL accounts at YOG, where I used to work, are NOTHING compared to FN. Not even close.

Most generally lots of people on here to start trouble????
Bringing this back up from below posted by Babe People come here to get advice, and seeking opinions on companies good or bad. Sure, there are a few bad apples that will not be happy anywhere they go but I think most of us all want the same thing, an honest and good company to work for. To post only the positive would be great, but then as we all know, there are companies that do their advertising right here posing as MTs, only to find out later when we get burned and have to start the entire process of testing and bouncing yet to another job. You are either very naive about the MT world we live in today, or more likely you are a company official that doesn't like anything negative posted about your company, specially when its lots of it. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to believe everything they see here, but if you see a lot of specifics about a particular company and you experienced it yourself, then you have to give that some credibility and back that person up - this could be good information or bad information. My assessment of KS personally is that I have not seen anything that would sway me in any way. Any information I have seen here leaves me as feeling neutral.I think people just want an honest opinion, thats all. I guess you perceive a negative post warning about another company's ripoff techniques starting trouble Hmmm.. makes me wonder what chair you're sitting in, sure don't sound like an MT.
Lots of people work for Adept and LOVE us
Would Adept hire you back? It's a two-way street, you know? This is irresponsible.
What is wrong with you people?
Are you all on drugs? Watch my back? This is hilarious!
Puhahaha! I'd probably end up starving to death or gathering enough vegetables being thrown to op
my own produce stand. Thanks for the chuckle. XDDDD
Lots of people are happy with them, but you DO have to "clock out" every time you leave your

Spheris will hire you. They have lots of Career Step people.
As long as you do not need health insurance, they are fine for a new grad.
What is WRONG with you OSi people? smsg
All of you (ex and current employees posting ad nauseum about that stupid company) sound like a bunch of NUTS.
Go get help! No one cares what you think, move on with life. Or get a life, whichever applies to you.
Are you kidding? That many people can't be wrong.
If that many people are posting negative information about a particular company that's a HUGE red flag.
My gosh!! What is wrong with you people?!?!
READ WHAT HAS BEEN POSTED ALREADY!!!
You must be hiring the wrong people...
it must be bad judgment on your part, but don't lump sum the rest of us who do take pride in our work and do have great work ethics and take our jobs seriously!
They are nice. If you do something wrong, they tell you. That is their job, isn't? You people.

Holy Cow!!!! Are you serious??? What is wrong with people??
Are you sure it wasn't in New Mexico, although not much different clientele. Wow.. I'd be moving on and telling them to lose my number.

Good god - what is wrong with all these MTSO people?
The more accounts of abuse, lies, bait-and-switch, harrassment, intimidation, and other downright skullduggery these outfits pull on their employees, the more obvious it becomes that the MT business as a whole is descending full-tilt back into the Dark Ages. Next will come the floggings and beheadings.
There were people who ignored all the posts
about how horrendous Heartland was and several have posted in the last month or so how sorry they are that they didn't listen, that everything said was true.
Heartland offshores big time on top of all the other stuff and I don't think there is any hope of an improvement.
QT Medical (qtmedical.com) is hiring, good wage, nice people, no offshoring, lots of work, direct deposit, QA manager really nice, not too many bad ESL. They provide foot pedal/software, can work in Word or WP5.1 your choice usually although I think some accounts are just Word, nice gift at Christmas and MT week, they leave you alone as long as you do what you are supposed to, no nasty e-mails, no IM, I think they only have IC positions so no benefits. You can apply on-line or call Kelli. No special platform, a few pages of do's and don'ts but not bad and you'll quickly learn them, daily feedback, only need to enter patient's name, the rest of the demographics automatically entered. Not sure what the current cpl is, but they pay on gross line.
I have seen some other posts on these people--sm
in the archives. some were not good, stating they were not getting paid and the company would no longer communicate with them, etc. I never had that problem, but you just never know. As an IC, in my opinion, it would be easier for a company to not pay you and get away with it. I have seen that problem happen alot on this board. I guess they feel that once they stop communicating with you, there is little you can do to get your money. You can, but it takes alot of effort on your part. There are good company's and bad company's. I have experienced both. You just have to be objective, keep your intuition tuned, and take a chance sometimes. If your gut tells you not to, listen, because it is generally right. I work for a small MTSO out of California and we discussed all these issues of concern before I even started working for them. If they are a legitimate company, they should have no objections to answering your questions or belaying your fears. They are just as cautious as you are, because they don't want to get a bad employee either. These are just some helpful hints, I hope. It is never easy to know who to trust. good luck to you.
People were asking about them down a few posts. nm
