There have been plenty of recent posts on this company. Also, look on page 2, 3, etc...
scroll down the page a bit...sm
low pay, expensive benefits, often not enough work, but nice people.
Scroll down the page, others with you.

scroll down this page
If you'll scroll down the page there have only been about
2 dozen posts about them in the past week.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

Some comments on page 2 of this board, middle of the page. nm

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
You have to scroll down to see their ad.
They are not focus.
How far back to I have to scroll?

Just scroll down, this has been discussed

scroll down - they were just discussed - nm

Never mind; I see now that you have to scroll down
Still loving the 10-12 hours a day for 3 days in a row. Not.
Can anybody figure out what $1.25 per 1000 characters really equals in cpl? Their ad says it ''equals out to about 9 cents a line,'' but my calculations aren't making any sense (probably because of spaces not being paid, I'd guess? ... I don't know how to convert from 65 cpl with spaces versus without).
Scroll down, there is test in the post. nm
Go to your original post. Scroll down a bit and look
for the see related messages in blue. Click on that and you'll get past posts.
Scroll down a couple pages (sm)
There are a few posts about them, nothing good that I saw. I do remember complaints about not enough work and the owner needing to sharpen up on his communication and people skills.
scroll to posts from the date
03-03-2007. Theye are posts from management regarding PT issue.
What? There are a ton of TT MTs posting here. Scroll through the last few pages.
I would estimate that 95% of what you see posted here about TT is positive.
Yes, I was wrong in that I couldn't scroll down
person is basically a third party, getting us the work while we can still enjoy IC status, who cares?? Let her do the work, if that's what the MTs who work for her want. I certainly would rather sit back and transcribe and not handle all the other MAJOR stuff that comes with having our own accounts. Its a heck of a lot more work than you intimate. I'd gladly pay for a middle man to handle the big BS stuff, not worth the pennies more to me. So, to each his/her own, right? Peace!! Get upset at other bigger issues out there!
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and
go to page 2. There's a list almost at the top of the page. Hope this helps!
Scroll down and read the numerous posts over the
last week or so. Also dozens of posts in the archives.
Scroll down the board. This company has been asked about
several times this week, if not every day this week. Not much info other than they don't pay very well.
Tons of stuff in the archives or scroll down a
bit. They have been discussed extensively here recently. For the most part it is all good.
They have been discussed within the past week, scroll down and
see if you can see the post. S/B lots more posts in archives. Nothing good.
For icons scroll down to "post reply to this msg"
.
If you scroll down you'll see lots of info.

try holding cntr down and using mouse scroll.

Just scroll back several days and search the pages for webmedx. nm

Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company

This is Ms B. - Talk all you want, I
You drove me to drink. A six pack just won't get it anymore. I am on the hard liquor. Just kidding. Get back to work.
You would have to talk to them about that.
Sorry. I believe that is confidential information as far as pay but as far as their requirements, it is my firm belief that 5 years is needed to be a good QA person.
I can tell you this because I still talk with MTs that
work for them currently, my name is still on the mail list, and I have not been there in over 2 months. I'm not doubting that they have hired people, but keep in mind that they have brought down the 3-5 year minimum experience, now down to 2 year minimum expeience. So that accounts for A LOT of the new hires.
lp talk
I think they pay very well. Correct about turnover on QA managers. Pay is 1st and 15th, but once in awhile, they change it to 7th and 22nd, and you wait an extra week to get paid, which is quite horrible. Is your new job Emdat? Did you find the job through here?
Like to Talk More to You
Hello,
You have an interesting name, something like HappyWithoutPS? Anyway, I see you know a lot about Precyse, the true straight skinny, eh? That's what I wanted to know about.
Do you mind telling me what company you are now working for? Do you like it? I am looking for a good one. Thanks.
Linda D.
No talk?
They also cannot control your rights to freedom of speech, as long as you are not spreading lies.
So, let's think of something else to talk about
nm
thanks for pep talk
I appreciate it. I was feeling like I just shot myself in the foot. I will check them out. From what you say, they sound okay. Is this one people refer to as MDI? I saw there is also MD-IT. Which is which?
before you talk yourself out of it,
you'd be wise to consider the future of MQ in this country. I left there after a long time and long time being their cheerleader. All the red flags of concern are in place.
You might be able to talk...
MDI-MD into that one. They seriously need weekend coverage.
Talk to your STM about it - she or he can sm
set your choices as ASR vs non ASR if you want to opt out. They don't just let you know, you would have to ask. Also what I was correcting what that you said ASR pay would drop to 35%; your pay remains at 70% of non ASR rate. Did you know other companies pay a flat rate of as little as 2-3 cpl for editing?
As for what is not on ASR - it's not always the crappy guys who are left but the people whose formats can't be mimicked by the ASR engine. (Guys who say - Oh go back up and do THIS, etc)
Talk to HR
You need to talk to HR, because I do believe the other poster is incorrect when she says that most companies pay in full for one employee. Rarely does anyone do that any more. When a company advertises paid insurance, they are probably meaning that a portion of it is paid and not the entire premium.
Some employers pay more of the premium than others do - it depends on how generous your employer is.
Believe me they DO talk
They will find out. Whether its okay is up to your company and whether you signed a no-compete agreement. My company found out and tried to make life miserable for me and continues to do so. I won't quit
no I don't talk to anyone like that sm
except comments like this. I have heard enough complaining about this profession in 35 years. Its very obvious to me this person has not been paying attention to what has been going on. If she had had experience working for a national she would KNOW that this has been going on and will continue to go on until people stop it. I do not see how anyone who says they have been doing this for as many years as she has can not know this is happening. Its happening and people need to get their head out of the sand!
nobody else would talk the way sm
his/her messages appear on this board. Easy to figure it out.
AND WHO ARE YOU TO TALK DOWN - sm
to MTs in such a rude and demeaning manor? Whether or not you're mgmt, I don't give a rodent's behind ... they are entitled to their opinion just as much as you are. If something is affecting their ability to make a decent living, they also have a right to speak up without your high and mighty attitude. You're happy at TT? Well, bully bully for you!! But your rude tone and the way you talk down to your fellow MTs ( if that really is the case) makes one think that you are also a very UNHAPPY person.
