Don't take what MQ says with a grain of salt
.....take the whole salt mine.
Take what you read here with a grain of salt
I work for one of the most bashed companies on this board, and let me tell you, I have no plans to leave. Why? Well, I rarely run out of work, have great accounts, make a good line rate with differential for weekend work, have 8 paid holidays a year (whether I work or not), 5 paid sick days and 15 days of paid vacation. In return, they expect me to work my shift and make minimum line count. Not a hard thing to do.
Look closely at what some of these companies have to offer and ignore some of the sour grapes posters on here. Judge for yourself. It seems like the most vocal posters on this board are the negative ones, and we rarely hear the positives of some of these companies.
Take it all with a grain of salt. My co. doesn't
guess what? I now work 7 days a week because its the only way I can make enough lines to keep my health insurance. Every time I think Ive found a way to up my lines and earn a little more money one month, it 'mysteriously' gets shot down the next month, through sporadic work, or unintelligible accounts, or schizophrenic software that malfunctions daily. Face it, these crooks are going to milk every last drop of work they can out of us, for as long as we accept their mealymouthed lies and paltry paychecks, until we finally quit in disgust (as it appears here that many are in the process of doing). Then, of course, their claim of 'no American MTs to do the work' starts to actually have some truth to it. It's quite the racket, if you ask me. But someday, SOMEday, their ill-gotten gains will be scrutinized by the government, and I think a LOT of them are going to be in very deep doo-doo.
Best advice ---- take everything on the boards with a grain of salt. sm
For every positive post, you will have 10 negative posts (often the same person). For every negative post, there is often either a troll or a disgruntled ex-employee or one who was not hired.
For every great post, there is often a referral bonus or other leading factor.
Just like your post and mine were anonymous, anyone can say anything under the cloak of anonymity.
Make your list, narrow it down to 3 or 4 and talk to each of them to get a feel for what is best for you. There are huge differences in pay, how pay is calculated, benefits, type of work, methods of doing the work, flexibility, etc. between the company.
Good luck!
Any manager worth a grain of salt wouldn't even reply here. How unprofessional.

Are you kidding? If it were me I'd tell them to pound salt.

TransTech upper sent out email for blackout on vacation for several days, so only a grain or 2 jobs
available due to some MT's on vacation *probably looking for job*. We are TAT up-to-the-minute, so NOTHING to get excited about at TT.
Same ole grab-it-while-it-is-there workload. LOW, LOW, LOW.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

You are not allowed to post their link on this site. Post

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site. There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry. For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

Last post
No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.
I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.
It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
TO POST ABOVE, AT MQ 6 YRS....sm
Would you please e-mail me at jcarros213@aol.com. I "really" need information.
TIA
This post should have gone under OP.

WHY DOES MY POST
On Greenlight Transcription keep getting erased?! 
WHY DOES MY POST??
mine got erased too..I asked a question about eTransPlus and now it's gone???
Above post
Oh my.....I didn't know Wal-Mart had "greaters". I thought they were greeters! I am sure they are hiring though so you should do well there.
Why don't you sign your posts? Are you also the one that said SoftScript is the worst? Wow....there a lot of worsts out there. Guess we will all starve.
Will you post when you do?
Are you a SS transcriptionist? Will you post your acknowledgement of e-mail?
It gives YOU something to post about right?!
What else would you post about?! LOL
I like your post!!

To Can't Say: Regarding your post below about
Can you say which recruiter told you that Transcend was buying MQ?
Where did you see this post?
asdf
If you post their name they probably won't get any
resumes. This way they'll probably get a few, but hopefully the MTs will be wise enough to turn them down.
Another good reason not to respond to a blind ad is that it could be the company you are currently working for - or you were working for (LOL).
I appreciate your post...perhaps I used....sm
the wrong word of undercutting, but when I became an MTSO 9+ years ago......a national was charging 13-18 cpl to the client and so I went ONE cent below that, 12 CPL.....and I get the work, have had clients for all this time...and I work for a national part-time....
Thank you for taking the time to type all that....much appreciated!! 
And you might want to post
your message in reply to the correct message. I am not oops.
I have only posted one message in response to this person.
Anyone could post on here and say they are from
Whose to say that poster posing as KS Team Leader or such is not someone specifically out to do KS harm?
For crying out loud, people -- just someone with a mean streak and nothing to do can get on here and cause harm. And the reason they can cause it is because most people on here will believe any post they read.
Now THAT is sad.
sorry about my post above, was

I think they are trying not to post here except
Still doesn't make any sense at all to come to a public forum and ask these kinds of questions.
I'd be reluctant to hire someone who had no more IQ than to do that.
PS: Just saw the post below, anyone do QA for them?

Thank you for this post!
Your post is 100% correct--disgraceful disrespect for the MT whose skill, experience, and expertise keep transcription companies in business! Unbelievable attitude. Thanks for your post--it is 100% right on!
PS to above post, sm
The accounts are teaching hospitals, acute care, and clinics etc. A mix of ESLs and non-ESLs. Not easy unless you really know your stuff, but good accounts. Good luck.
See my post below -
My experience was different but also bad!
Where's your post?
See post below from 9/27
titled 'Is this weird' - I was talking about Shapin. That may just have been my experience though.
Post the hos name here, someone may be able to tell you where it went.

Please see my post
That line rate for VR is not good. Plus they do not pay any shift differential or incentive pay. VR at 4+ cents per line plus no differential or incentive is pretty rock bottom.
