wow...it can get ugly in here....Well MTSO,

keep on speaking highly of your MTs, and probably best that she not visit this board.  It seems our profession has taken a negative turn somewhere along the road. 

Good luck with many more new MTs to come in the future.

We were not ugly.  Stacy came on and stated that her two  most important factors in chosing a company was to have a computer provided and to have paid maternity leave and that was in CAPS.  She did not state that she was wanting to earn more PTO time and to use that, she wanted to be PAID after having a child.  At 4 hours per pay period that is 12 days a year and that is pretty norm for this profession.  Like I told Stacy, would you pay a babysitter or a nanny when they wanted six weeks off and you had to pull in someone to do their job so you were paying double and earning the same income.  It is really hard to provide benefits and a decent pay in this field.  Yell at me all you want, but the balancing act is very hard to do.   And like the prior poster also said, the companies change so often between merges, buy-outs, and out sourcing that what you sign on for in 2006 probably won't be the same in 2007 or 2008 for sure.  So if stability is what Stacy wants, I think that she needs to look elsewhere like a union job or a state/city or county position where it is spelled out in black and white what she will receive for the next three years.  We did not mean to make you feel bad but again, you posted several times about maternity leave and we are not mind readers you should have posted need to accrue PTO at a faster rate.   But we were not nasty or ugly and just stated the facts in this field.

I was wondering if anybody out there would be willing to give the good and bad about what company they work at, or used to work at.  I'm trying to figure out who it would be worthwhile to send resumes to and who I should just stay away from.  I'm interested in the management, scheduling, line requirements, pay rate, benefits, and provided equipment.  I'd greatly appreciate any info you have.  Thanks!

about racial prejudice - really shocking, and someone named eyetype was proudly gloating and calling herself a string of things of which I can only recall old hateful bigot, but she was gonna get a new attitude, or something to that effect. Whole thing now deleted, conveniently, but I actually made a sticky note to remember who it was that said these horrible things.  Now that's a HUGE spot to reach in my world - SO BAD that I would put a sticky note anywhere!  I have never done that before in my life, and there are some ugly posters around these here woods!!  I wanted to be sure to steer clear of you and NEVER forget what you said, you or the other eyetype?

I applied with them awhile ago, but hadn't heard anything  - just got a phone call from them, but want to see if anyone has any input before going calling them back.  TIA.

Would anyone be so kind as to give me some insight into this company?    In the past everything I've read about it was pretty good, but I'm not really able to pull up anything recent.  Thanks a bunch. 

Would like any current info on them.....Got hired and would like to know if it is worthwhile to take the job or not.

Thanks!

Can anyone give me some feedback?  I read good things on MT daily.

8 times in one night -- these H&P's being 6 plus hours old, and each dictated with plenty of time in between, my knowing that there were other dictators dictating in between his -- so know that they have been holding them for me after the day shift gets off. They don't delay H&P's getting out for this many hours, so it is so very obvious what is taking place. I don't like companies manipulating the system for their favorites.

I absolutely despise this practice by a company.

TIA

I checked archives, but all i found was old and I know companies change often, and it was all the transcription side of things, so thought I would see if anyone had info on how it is to be an editor.  I have the info they pay hourly...how much per hour?

Thanks!!!

 Pay, platform, people skills, QA, etc.  Thanks!
