I have read the post below but I wanted to know if anyone has info on this company that works or worked for them.

Thanks

They have an office in India and one in Texas.  I'm working for them now and have been for about a month.  Everyone I have dealt with is very good to work with.  The account I am on is very nice, very few ESL, lots of editing (may be a plus for some) and a small amount of standard transcription.  Pay is decent,  and on time.  They don't have DD, but have said they are looking into it so hopefully they will soon.  They have incentives for when you get over certain line amounts each pay period, and those amounts are not hard to meet either so can pretty much count on the incentives each paycheck (at least that is my experience). 

I'm happy there. 

I believe they hire new graduates.  They are very nice and good to work for, pay is always on time, it might be a little low (around 6cpl and 3cpl for editing) but it'd be a good place to start. 

If you can get a private IC to mentor you that'd be good too.

I took my first job (3 years ago) with a private IC and she paid me 4cpl for a month then 5 cpl after that.  I stayed with her for 5 months, made decent money and learned a lot.  I was able to go from working for her to a really good, steady job with a nice company.  It's worth it to take a lower line rate if you can get the one on one with a mentor. 

Best of luck!

I applied just this morning and got a call this evening.  They offered me a job without testing.  There is a paid trial period where they decide if you can do the work according to what I was told by the recruiter.  The pay is not bad, better than I am currently getting at any rate, and I was assured after the trial period it can/will go up. 

I am wondering if anyone has experience with this company.  It seemed a bit odd to me that I would get hired without testing, but I'm new to the industry so maybe it isn't that uncommon (just under a year working as an MT). 

Thanks for any opinions or advice!

Any info on Lartech??? 

Has anybody worked or is working for this company?  I am supposed to start with them on Tuesday, but am not sure about them?

TIA

They are training me this morning to work on thier software as an editor. So far, they seem like very nice, friendly people and very helpful.  They seem to be desperate for quality employees.  I will let folks know how I make out as I know alot of people are wary of them and I can understand that.

I've transcribed for 6 years.  I worked Lartech for two months and never saw any pay.  The owner keeps saying he didn't receive his pay.  Now no communication at all about it.  I quit since I can't afford to work for free.  He owes me at least $1000.  Nice people, but no pay.  Do hospitals really not pay?  Any way I can find out?

I forgot to ask before we hung up.  Anyone know what the line rate is for their eScription?

Is anybody out there getting paid at least 60 days out from Lartech?  Waiting 2 months for a check?  Is this crazy?  I am having a hard time staying motivated to work because I know I will not see any money for months. 

There is a certain company out of Sarasota who will advertise on the other board initals are PS  -- good company in the fact that MT week GIFT and during XMAS gift, however SMALL.  However, what I learned, is that if you question they will scr** with you.  Example  -- I did 35 reports for this particular company  -- out of those 35 reports it was 535 lines -- YEP -- and no, I'm not lying -- automatic line count  -- starred with another company recently 35 reports equaled 2100 lines --- HMM what is WRONG here?  I called company A today got the run around and after SIX emails --NO response I was terminated  -- I really DON'T give a hoot or holler and as an IC  they cant terminate me  -- I just want to forewarn and forearm that there are companies out there like that

I'm willing to bet we'll be seeing a lot more terminations with this new Impact thing.

MQ is concerned when it comes to covering yourself and what you THINK you have when you work for them.  You can be in for a rude awakening and you are left holding the notorious bag.

They are reporting we are in a cycle now and it will last a few years, so we should anticipate this kind of storm activity next year and the next.  These kinds of horrific storms have been here before so it is not all "global warming" so they say.  It is a cycle.

From 1900s to 1950s we had storms with 180 mph winds etc so we are in for a mess of them it looks like.  Good luck to you too.  I'm leaving national work as an income, maybe a PT but will never depend on it ever again at home. 

Mary Gleason, Digital Transcription. Do not work for, sole proprietor.  Will let you work 2 weeks and stiff on pay, owed over $200. 

The company that posted here a short time ago asking for PT/overflow podiatry work, COMPLETE transcription out of Texas, with the owner named Joanna.  I worked for her earlier in the year.  Got paid for the first month, but still 2 MONTHS later have yet to be paid for the other 2 weeks I worked.  Had emailed about it and was told she hadn't gotten an invoice, which she had.  I emailed the invoice AGAIN.  Still no check.  Emailed her yet again and have yet to recieve any response. 

Just wanted to give warning if you are working or considering working for this person.  Maybe this is a one-time issue, but I thought I'd pass the information along just in case.  I'd hate for anyone else to be stuck high and dry with bills to pay and no check in sight.
