Do they keep their promises, primary account stability, start out at least 9 cpl, supervisors easy to get ahold of, etc.

Transolutions
I read the posting of the person who asked about them and also the remarks of other persons. I will tell you what I think of this company. First, they are the nicest people you would ever deal with. The original office staff remains and that in itself tells you something. If you get feedback, it isn't nasty or degrading like some other companies out there. Yes you have a fixed schedule, but being able to start an hour early or an hour late is wonderful, and I know that even when I was a new employee before, if I had something come up, I could contact the team leader and work out an exchange of shifts so that I could take care of whatever came up. They don't hover over you either. There have been some QA changes, but it is so important that reports be consistent and watched for errors. Continuous errors can make or break an account. The bonus program, I believe, is very generous and the benefits affordable. I priced insurance as an IC and no way could I afford it. I had to leave them a few years back due to illness in the family and they welcomed me back with open arms and I even received a phone call from an office person who remembered the situation and very kindly called me to say welcome back and ask about the former situation. With my previous company, I made insane amounts of money, but they could have cared less if I died sitting in my chair; that would have been an inconvenience. Sometimes there are things more important than money and #1 on my priority list is having NICE people in the main office, great coworkers, and a chance of advancement. I would say yes to anyone considering this company. I worked for a few of the other nationals, MQ included, and they didn't know me from Adam, just when I started my shift and when I was to quit. I like being more than just a sign-in number on an account. 
Transolutions
Good pay, great bennies, very flexible. There's a troll who will undoubtedly come on to slam me - she always does when she sees my name alone or in association with Transolutions. Ignore her. She has nothing good to say about anyone. Good luck with whatever you do.
I like Transolutions
Everyone is different, and different companies fit our varying needs. I like Transolutions. Check it out for yourself and talk with the recruiters, current employees, etc. Get a feel for if they fit your needs. Their vacation, PTO, paid down time for full-time employees, etc. are pretty good. HTH.

Transolutions does!
And pay for your internet too!
Transolutions
hires new graduates if you can pass their test.
Transolutions does!
They have some accounts that use dial-up, although they are slowly moving toward an internet-based system. Give them a try. I know they are hiring and we have more than enough work. Never run out!!!

Is anyone currently working with Transolutions? I have been offered a job and would really like some info before starting on personal opinions! Thanks everyone!
It's Transolutions, as stated above.

Transolutions is a bad choice!!

Cymed or Transolutions?
Which would you rather work for and why? Appreciate both positive and negative feedback. Thanks.
Transolutions not so good...
Being on this board for many years, I have only seen about 4 or 5 people who have positive and the rest negative. I, myself, had a negative experience with them. I don't know anything about Transtech.
Quit Transolutions?
Has anyone quit Transolutions recently? I keep trying to hang in there but it is one thing after the other. I don't really want to go into details......just wondering if there is anyone else frustrated besides myself.
Quit Transolutions
Know exactly what you are talking about. Thinking the same thing actually. Bad communication and no consistency .
Yes, Transolutions does use Apex
:)
You must work for Transolutions. That's their

Thought I'd put my 2 cents in - I have been with Transolutions for about 4 months now, and I agree with the statements about how nice they are - they really are. I am working really hard to increase my production and get up to level 5, which is the higher pay. Dolfan, do you have any suggestions on that? You said you just stay there no matter what it takes - does that mean you just put in as much time as it takes to get that many lines in? Does it usually take you significantly over your scheduled time? I keep resolving to do that, but then I get tired and end up between level 2 and 3. I am still adding docs to my glossary on a daily basis, so I keep hoping that I will get there eventually.
I agree also about the benefits - I am part time (25 hours/week), but I am earning PTO, holiday pay, etc. When you do have to work a holiday, you get benefit pay, PLUS time and a half - I think that is fairly unusual for an MT company.
The scheduling is flexible, too. I worked for as an IC before, but I actually found that I needed a schedule or I would leave work too late and burn out. But, that is just me.
Hope that is informative, and Dolfan, thanks for any help in advance! (Or any other Transolutions people out there reading this, if you have any suggestions.)

Transolutions would be someplace I would stay away from..
I worked for them for a very short time. They were VERY friendly in the beginning and my scorese were 99-100% with no problems. I then had to take a couple days off and when I came back, they were rude, inconsiderate, and flat out lying to me. My scores suddenly went to 95% (I read these all over very carefully) and their attitude towards me changed drastically. I had heard that they were that way, "you have to fit in," but ignored it and took the job anyway..my mistake. There are few girls I have seen on here VERY happy with Transolutions, but I have spoken with MORE that are unhappy with them. Good luck in your decision.
I don't know anything about transolutions, interviewed, tested, and
offered position with Cymed. The pay is average, lots of ESL, offered 0.5 cpl more if I do more than 1800 lines a day, which I do occasionally, but not often enough that I would have a bunch of extra $$ each pay period. The person I interviewed with was an HR person and hadn't the first clue about transcription, so her answers weren't very good to questions. I did specifically ask if the offshore and she reluctantly said they do. I know they offshore to the Phillipines and probably India, and they are support of the move to offshore to Trinidad. I was offered 8 cpl and have 20 years' acute care experience. I was told there were lots or opportunities to earn big $$ in bonus money, but I'm not looking to be chained to my chair another 4 hours a day. My main decision for declining the position was the offshoring.
Transolutions has Medrite-they are hiring.
Lots of new openings.
Transcend and Transolutions both can use satellite.
or at least they did a couple years ago.
TransTech
TransTech is in Texas:

Anyone with TransTech
How long does it take you to get your 1100 lines, on average. Also, how strict are they with you about sticking 100% to your hours.
TIA
TransTech
No work lately.
TransTech
I have been with Transtech for a little over 1-1/2 years and it works great for me.
TransTech
Anyone know anything about this company. They sure do sound "good". Anyone who can give some insight please post, especially if you are currently with TransTech.
TransTech
I have just been offered a position with this company. Could you tell me if the full-time employees really make 11,000 lines a PP? Also what kind of platform do they use. I have heard that the ExText one is not so good. I have not done MT for a year or so, so I've been out of the loop for awhile. I REALLY need an honest answer on this company as there are other companies that look good also. As you said, they looked very good. I talked to the recruiter and everything sounds SO wonderful, almost TOO good to be true. PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE. The 11,000 lines a day sounds ludicrous to me as I have NEVER made that many lines with any company/account I worked for.
TransTech
Could you tell me a little about it. Do you really make 11,000 lines a PP. Is it an easy account to do given the recruiter says they have a lot of interns that come and go. I REALLY want to take the job offer, but I'm SO afraid I'll end up with a company that is really hard and demanding and is hard to get a good line account. ANYTHING you could tell me would be most appreciated as it would save me SO much work looking at other companies first before I give her my answer. I TRULY NEED YOUR HELP ASAP as she was SO nice, but now I'm seeing other companies that look good too. I need a company that will supply the PC and everything and most of them don't. That is one of the reasons I liked Transtech also.

Try TransTech
You cannot go wrong with them.
I did with TransTech.
They told me about 3 times via email that they would call me the next day. I kept following up and finally I got a call the third time that was 3 days later than stated in the email. The person was very friendly and apologetic, but I couldn't wait around 2 weeks to hear from them, so I ended up somewhere else. I don't regret my choice either after having interviewed with them. The pay was not good. They did offer benefits, but since I don't need them, I'd rather have the $$$.
Yep, MQ and Transtech NM

Hi again,
It's decision time. Just wondering what people think of these companies and what their experience has been like working for them. Thanks.

The Tampa Medquist office used to have a real hot payroll guy, named Shane, but I don't think that's the info you need. LOL,,,I am with Transcend. I like it.
I believe Transolutions pays all phone costs. nm

In my case, it was TransTech. I went with them
because they were the only company that I could not find a negative post about on this board. Live and learn.
TransTech computer
When they hired me they didn't have a computer to send me right away so I said that I wouldn't mind using my own since I have 2 personal computers. Okay, so J phoned me to set me up and worked and worked with it and like you, couldn't get the program to work properly. He even told me he would call me back and called Dictaphone himself and he DID call me back. By that time I was just getting frustrated and *I* asked him to please just wait and send me a company computer when one was available, which if I remember correctly they either located one for me that day or the next. But he was never in any way discourteous while trying to get my computer to work. In the 2 years I've worked for them I have had very few problems and when I have had a problem I would call the office and either get J or T immediately or one or the other always called me back within no more than 10 minutes and both have ALWAYS just been so very pleasant. If you're really interested, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a conversation with Deb, she is a wonderful, wonderful person and believe me, she really CARES about her MTs.
TransTech in Texas does them. nm

Anyone who works at Transtech
have you been getting a lot of reports on a certain account that have been under a minute for the past couple of days, like echos, stress tests, etc. I have been getting these like nonstop for the past 2-3 days. I guess I shouldn't complain because it IS work, but I get so annoyed with these piddly little dictations that take more time to set up for than to actually type them. It's really killing my line count. Am I alone or are others experiencing this?
Not at TransTech, They are/were all MTs. Even the owner used to be an MT. One of the
things I really respect most about this company actually. All supervisors, managers, leads and even the owner used to be MTs. I think the only ones who weren't are the IT staff.
Aren't you the same person who posted above that you work for Transolutions and USED
to work for the company that does 7 days a week?
If have worked for TransTech for two years,
you undoubtedly know that Debbie and J go way back and used to work together at another company (reference a recent email you should have received from T, the new president that states that she, J, S, and D all worked together before TransTech). I received an email from Debbie stating that she was sorry I was dissatisfied with tech support, but that they had never ever had any complaints about them before mine. Kind of shows me where I stand in all of this. Many times when managers and tech support are friends, it's the MTs who suffer.
Dano - do you work for TransTech?
nm
TransTech does - small fee per month (sm)
I have been working for them for about 3 months and love it there.
