WHAT? That is an insane statement. What is worse than a doc who is racing through his dictations, almost nothing worse in my opinion, it's my pet peeve I think (hides)

Yes, you should run very quickly, it is by
far the worst company to work for.
Very quickly. It's the truth.
I know some people may take a little longer to answer, but honestly, I only experienced that a couple of years ago when I first started. Whenever I need to ask a question, I've been getting answers very quickly, and I know that when someone IMs me, I'm getting right back to them...unless I ran to the potty. :)
Move on quickly...
There are other great companies out there. This really touched me, you sound like a single mom who is trying to just make the best for her kids. I feel for you! I, too, am trying to raise two kids, but work for a great national even though there has been a lot said of that, but they have been good to me. Don't feel like where you are at is the only option. There are many other places out there, just start looking and working at home really isn't so bad! Good luck to you!
If you pass, they get back w/you quickly
It's after you get "hired" that seems to take forever. I got my test results in 2 days, a week to hear from the recruiter, a week to get employment package, a week to get receipt of that acknowledged and schedule training, a week to start receiving equipment. And who knows how long before one is released from training to full production. I'm starting to wonder, but my current place is so awful that MQ is a definite step up. Anyway, don't quit your old job if you get hired; wait until you know when you will be in full production.
Things disappear so quickly

This is classic, but I can usually get them to go away pretty quickly!
No matter what they say I respond No speak English. One lady even tried speaking in Spanish, but I just kept saying the same thing. LOL! Yes, caller ID helps enormously too! I do not answer unknown name calls who do not display their number or anything that seems fishy.
I just quickly looked through my info
and I can't find the tuition reimbursement info. I've not had the opportunity to use it. I do remember something about the fact that they pay for CMT certification if you pass.
If I can answer any other questions for you please don't hesitate to ask! 
Things change quickly, I would look twice -sm
All Type has just done a major cut on their MTs pay rate - major. At least 80% of their work is done outside of the country and more is being shipped every day. You are being hired to keep their business moving because many are leaving with the pay cuts and they need you to work while they make the conversion to India complete. They will need editors to cover the inadequacy of those reports but American MTs can wave so long to their jobs with All Type. All Type should take down their American flag and fly the flag from the country they support - India.
things can change very quickly sm
so be careful because you might change your tune!
4 cpl could be for newbies or editors. Don't judge so quickly
Consider that service owners have to take the time to edit and provide feedback to newbies and that takes a LOT of time.
Time clock isn't bad. You quickly get used to it. No big deal. sm
I find them pretty flexible, but you do have to work your total required hours.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
Is there a good site to get DQS questions answered quickly? nm
nm
I find the lines don't accumulate as quickly, but the atmosphere is GREAT. nm
Giant Red Flag. If that's the company mentality, I'd cut my losses quickly.
nm
Yeah, the timer just starts ticking away while your trying to figure out how to do it quickly
without a foot pedals, and four reports at that. Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be.
The ones that came back so quickly missed their ham sandwich, beer and wine....sm.
and were not allowed to show their cleavage and wear miniskirts. On top of it, only married couples are allowed to have sex. This in Muslim countries.
TransTech accounts are ALL very quickly going to VR and pay is half line rate
If you like VR and the pay cut, then TT will be a good fit for you. If you are experienced and will let someone pay you less than you are worth, then go for it.
Other than accounts going to VR there and MT pay cut for editing VR reports, TT has been a good fit for me. I am very disappointed in the recent VR pay cuts.
They are changing platforms and cutting our line rate in half as the accounts go live with VR.
With the alleged shortage of decent MTs, which you managers are quickly turning into VR editors sm
You should not be complaining about graphics or colors on resumes. You should, frankly, be grateful for any applications you get. The way MTs are being turned into editors for you voice recognition crap is horrible, and you should be apologizing for it.
I completely concur. Find a good one, or move on, quickly. No loyalty involved. The don't sm
have any to the MTS. NONE of them.
Superior Global-out of Plano, TX..anyone else apply recently, told they were hiring quickly and to
do the testing ASAP..only to do the testing ASAP and then hear nothing. Trust me, the testing WAS NOT hard so I can't believe I wouldn't have passed that part. I followed up with emails as to whether they received my tests back etc..but nothing. no response. I find that rude. Even a simple, Dear John, we aren't hiring you would have been polite than nothing at all..Unprofessional
They don't want the MTs to speak with SM
each other because they might share information on line rate, how easy/hard the accounts are and MOSTLY because they do have favorites who get flexible schedules, high line rate and cake accounts and they don't want groups of people emailing each other and discovering this.
speak for yourself
I have a friend who works there and makes over 75,000 a year.
Speak for yourself
I think you have it backwards. There has never been any mass exodus unless you consider 3-4 people a mass exodus. Actually, those 3-4 people might still be with the company if not for a certain someone who egged them on until they quit. This person herself stayed on for another couple of years trying to stir the pot with complaints about fabricated events. This person finally left a few months ago.
Crap happens, no matter where you are, who you are, or what you do.
Transcend is STILL a good place to work.
Too bad so many people don't have the wherewithall to actually work for a company longer than a few weeks before they come to false conclusions about a place and then quit.
speak for yourself
I have been an MT now for 7-1/2 years and make 50K. Not sure of how many babysitters do that in 40 hours.
I can't speak for everyone, but I like it here
I have a great lead, who is very knowledgeable, kind and even funny at times - and she tries her best to keep things running smoothly, and pleasant. I don't know how the other leads are, but I would at least give them a chance. I've got no complaints.
Did you really speak to him?
I was a one of those MTs who made 3cpl. If he denies that they pay newbies this amount...he is lying. If he denies that you have to wait a month or more to be paid...he is lying...unless something has changed.
I can't speak for anybody else,
but as far as these posts go, I use the same initials all the time, so no, I haven't posted multiple times under different names, but I do know of several people who quit this place because of the owners nastiness, and lack of work. Even a QA person quit who was getting paid hourly, in one week she had a total of 6 hours work, nobody can live on that. I was there eight months and they kept promising me work, but it never came. It's landmark and made up of disgruntled ex-MQers.
Can't speak for all MTs but I have been
MTing for about 5 years and looking to get out of this field. I do not want to be an old timer. I have found out that hard work does not always pay off in this field. I worked 7 days a week with this company because I was eager to learn the account, learn the dictators and bring up my line count. When my lines got into the extra money range -- BOOM - here come dictators that were not around previously. I'm sick and tired of the games MTSOs play and don't want to complain about the same thing 25 years from now. The other thing is this - they are looking for people to work the holiday with no incentive. As far as I'm concerned - let the owner of the company work. I'm tired of their games.
OBVIOUSLY I DO NOT SPEAK FOR EVERYONE...
Not everyone is smart enough to get out of a terrible work enviornment, and that is why they are still in business.
please don't speak for all of us
I have no interest in this company either, but I dislike board bullies who tell people what they should or should not post about. Another pet peeve -- responders with check the archives reply. We can post and respond to what we like -- we do not need people (besides moderators) patrolling these boards. Think Dwight on The Office . . . . you are he!
Can't speak for everyone else, but...
I got fed up with everyone bashing me for making positive comments! I love my job at Keystrokes. I have been here since January and am very satisfied with my primary account and my direct deposit paychecks.
I have answered several posters requesting information about Keystrokes, but, frankly, I do not appreciate the negativity I was shown in response from some anonymous posters. Therefore, I chose not to respond to this post - but I guess I did, anyway!
I can't speak for TT
but I use the cntr I feature where I work and what I see is what I get paid for, this already has headers and footers taken out, and I don't find anything amiss with it. I find it to be very fair and accurate. Guess every company has their own way of what they count and what they don't and is totally up to their discretion.
I can only speak for myself, but (sm)
I was told that my doctors would be about 50:50. That was 2 years ago. I have since added several backup accts that have more ESLs than the original one; but I have yet to encounter one where I had that bad of a time with it. Like the above poster said, you can pretty much figure out what they are saying by looking at samples; also, as someone else said, more than allowed # of blanks, give to QA. I wish I knew what this acct was everybody is complaining about (I'm thinking it might be the one I do). First initial of the place maybe? Can we do that?
I cannot speak for others, but I was .....sm
asked to go part-time. I basically lost all my benefits when I went part-time though. They worked with me for as long as they could, but we just came to an agreement and that is what I did. I am not sure what others have done though, so I would go to your supervisor and tell her your concerns and see what you can work out with them, as they tried their best to work with me, so they should work with you. Good luck. 
You speak for most of us
:)
Have to speak up here.
Amphion's accounts used various degrees of BOS and some none at all. In fact, there were accounts that required you to capitalize every drug, generic or name brand. They don't strictly follow the AAMT BOS, they follow their own rules, and many different ones at that.
That does not mean they do not speak clearly.
xx
please don't speak for me
we are ALL not in a sad state. and ya know what.... right now this is my dream job. I'm happy as a clam.
Speak for yourself. 50K is OK with me. nm
Can't speak for others, but
I've never even come close to running out of work. The platform is great, there's a fair amount of flexibility, and the people are absolutely wonderful. Webmedx was just named 2008 AHDI Employer of the Year -- and it didn't surprise me at all!
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, KEEP YOUR VR..NM
SPEAK FOR....
yourself. There is every arrangement from nuts to diapers in this industry. People need to learn to speak their own experience what happenned, not conjecture. In turn, let people speak their opinion and dont say they're so wrong. I have worked in manyh responsible jobs in m life... in hospitals. Nothing has come close to beating me up like this industry. And I'm working on it!
Well, at least they speak...
...the same language....sort of!
I can't speak for TT...
But I have worked for Keystrokes, and I found management there to be extremely flaky. I guess it depends on what exactly you are looking for. The pay is okay. They are pretty flexible with scheduling, but you will not get overtime there despite the fact that many leads there push for the MTs to work overtime on a regular basis. I'm sure there are other MTs here who work for them and can give you additional opinions.
Speak for yourself!
I get so tired of hearing the discouraging side of this job. I for one am very happy and do very well as being an MT. I make 11 cpl/60-character line, have excellent health insurance (110.00 a month for family), and the flexibility of working the hours I want to. I have worked for a hospital for 17 years, been home now for about 13 of those years. I am an employee and could go nowhere else and make 25 to 28.00 an hour like I'm currently doing. We all need to support each other. There are good jobs out there, but sometimes you have to look for them or make the best of the job you do have.
You don’t speak for everyone- should be I want her here
You are assuming because apparently not everyone delights in her postings.
Speak for yourself, but I'm a rather shapely 56-y-o MT whose been sm
transcribing over 30 years. I stay trim making several trips to the fridge daily.
I'm a recruiter. I can only speak for myself, but
I would never post a rah-rah email on a board. Maybe others do, but it really kinda makes me sick to my stomach to think that they might.
I keep an eye on the boards, but I certainly don't run to management to report on State of the Boards. If they want to know, they can read it themselves!
Good thoughts in the post above, though!
Once again you are way off base. I can only speak for myself
and about 20 other people who left OSi a little while back and we are all doing great, couldn't be happier, all working for a great company with awesome people. To be quite honest with you....you are our entertainment!
If things were so good at OSi you wouldn't be on here trying to draw MTs in for them. OSi is over, face it punkin!
I would speak with a recruiter
The line rate could vary according to experience, office, account, etcetera. I only know what I was offered and would not want to steer anyone in the wrong direction. As I said before, it was about midline according to what most nationals are offering, but the great account I have plus the wonderful platform allow me to make more in the longrun with increased production. I have been with 3 other nationals and really feel I have found my "home" with Cymed.
