I bet they are an Indian company. The
Wordwide in their name is a big flag for that. Also, they don't have a website. If they want funds to start to work run.

Indian MTs will work for peanuts
so a lot of American hospitals and doctors are using services, some based in India, some based here, that employ Indian MTs in order to save a few pennies. The quality of the work they get back does not seem to be important to them. Much of the MT work being done in India is substandard, but it's cheap, so they get plenty of takers. The offshoring phenomenon is a major contributor to the low line rates U.S. nationals offer to U.S. MTs as well as to the difficulty many MTs are having in finding good employment with plenty of work. You are wise to stay away from the Indian companies. Many American MTs who have worked for Indian companies or Indian-owned companies have had difficulty getting paid and many report being subjected to verbal abuse by their employers.

American jobs for American MTs.

I hope you lose everything you own because some DEPENDABLE Indian - sm
took your job!!

They are an Indian run company with a store front in the
US. They give newbies a chance because experienced MTs won't work for them.

Indian company with base here in USA..stay away..I worked for them once.
I would rather work a lemonade stand before I would work for them again. When you first get the job, you might possibly speak to an American voice. After that you will be dealing with Indian Team Leaders, Indian QA..Indian everything. Not to mention the fact that the Indian QA will tell you that you are wrong on something when you are right. Also, once I had a team leader (Indian, of course)who questioned me on whether or not I knew what headings when into a physical examination...I was transcribing surgery notes. Nonsense like this happened all the time because I would point out the error that QA would make (usually Stedman's to back me).

There are great companies out there who are strictly USA workers, and they are posting on here all the time on the job seeker's board..you just have to keep looking.

Hope that helps! Have a wonderful day!

Wait until you start dealing with their Indian techs, in India!, and run out of work. nm

Awful place for a newbie to start! Indian techs, uneven work load, very little help along the way.
