Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
go to India and work with those people sm
you support so well.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
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.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
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.
Future-Net as IC, although work can be low. Nice people. nm

Anyone know of a place that hires for over-flow work (besides people in India!!)
 Just a few hours a week?
They outsource to India and..
when the recruiter was asked, she said she didn't know that for sure even though it is posted on their website. When this was pointed out, I still couldn't get her to admit it. I turned them down because I prefer straight answers and dont' work for companies who outsource to India.
I know they outsource to India sm
Whatever is not done by a certain point at night the send to India so that it is ready to edit in the morning. I am surprised they are allowed to advertise for MTs on this site, but they DO outsource and I have this from the current recruiter. They pay their American MTs pretty well, but on the backs of the outsourced stuff from what I can tell.
For the record, I had an offer at the end of last year, didn't take it because it is outsourced. As long as we support this sort of thing it will continue. The minute we all refuse to work for a place like that, the sooner it all comes home.
So are you saying they don't outsource to India?
How long have you worked for them?
Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!
.
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Nice people, agreed; very frustrating to work for, though.
I have to agree that the people are very nice. That's about as far as goes, however. The platform is clunky (We're working on a new one has been the constant refrain for years, with no real sign of it's birth anytime soon).
To answer the original question, I'm able to average about 250 lph, even with the craptacular platform (mostly due to a few docs with regular patter lending themselves to a lot of canned text); that said, I would likely be getting 350 lph or more with similar effort elsewhere.
Back on the negative side, however, the communication there sucks. Maybe 1 in 10 e-mails to management is acknowledged, let alone answered.
Very frustrating.
Nice people but low work, and yes I have multiple accounts!! nm
nm
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm
nm
No, it isn't nice. Most people do acute care, rad, or clinics. Work
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
3 of the top 5 are companies who outsource to India

Companies who outsource to India
Include All Type Transcription in the group that outsource to India; they won't tell you up front but if you do QA you will find out immediately; all the work from India have to be 100% re-listened and re-QA'd - I wonder if All Type realizes a profit from this, after all they are paying India and the US MTs (sounds like double your money spending to me)...just my opinion.
All Type management isn't easy to work with, either. The owner hasn't been an MT for over 10 yrs and her right hand has never done transcription; dontcha just love someone who has never transcribed and only worked in our field for less than 5 yrs, telling you that 100 reports (from India MTs) have to be QA'd daily keeping in mind these are re-listened 100% voice to text!!
Sorry for the rambling, evidently I needed to get that off my chest...LoL
They outsource to India. Broken down
a lot of times. Management stinks. Its better now with team leaders, but the top dogs are really low class nasty and payroll person is worst there is. Support from office and from the computer end of it is horrible. And don't count on 9 cpl. My friend and I got stuck at 8.5 and now they will not give raises. Accounts are horrible.
They'll outsource to India. nm.
I refuse to work for pay that low. I'm worth more than that.
Does MDI-FL outsource to India? I saw something a while back on here about MDI-FL MTs
not having enough work to keep them busy because when Transcend took over, the work got outsourced to India. Is this still the case?
Does Transcent outsource to India? nm

RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
I just stated with them. Nice people, work out of Word, and pay increases with production. nm
nm
Lets see.... they outsource to India, just cut holiday pay..
they change their policy manual so much that there is no way to keep up, the teamleaders are often rude and very sarcastic... I could go on and on.
yeah...if you like the fact that they OUTSOURCE to India..hence their name. nm

offshore (out of country) to India ... not outsource.

Jobs being sent to India - good companies who don't outsource
I've been working for a company for a few years now. This company has started to remove several job types with greater turnaround times to India from our exiting accounts. There was not enough work over the holidays to get in all of my hours (I know work is normally slow then), and this trend is still continuing. We used to have a primary account and a secondary account as a back-up, but now I'm working on at least 5 or 6 accounts just to have enough work to complete my 8-hour shift.
probably because they OUTSOURCE OVERSEAS...perhaps that number is reserved for the India account...?
Good luck to you...
offshore to India, it's OFFSHORE (off shore), not outsource to India.

Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
A couple hundred U.S. Constantly hiring, but i bet constantly losing them, too. sm
Who knows how many offshore MTs they have at their training center.
They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible. You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines. The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst. I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice. I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience. The rules change constantly. QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning. I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed. Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon. I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady. I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work. It's sure not the case. Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?
Don't do it. Pay is low. They overhire and work is low constantly.

DSG constantly runs out of work.

That is why I am looking now for a second job. The place I work for constantly
runs us out of work and of course it is because things are slow but the fact is they overhired so they dont have to worry about TAT and be bothered with it. We dont count I guess.
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Forget it. We're constantly running out of work now. sm
Some accounts have work, many really slim.
Sten-Tel runs out of work constantly and bad communication there. nm
nm
they are constantly out of work. Will show 40 jobs and a minute later none.
nm
After about a 2-day period of more work, back to running out constantly.
Maybe they should streamline, get rid of some dead weight, but mostly they should STOP OVERHIRING as they have constantly done in the years I have been there.
This is NOT a seasonal slowdown. They treat us like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.
Their QA is in India, I think 2 people who speak
English in the entire company.
another thing...just fyi...those people are in India. nm

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!
