Company is not Ascend, but Ascend is
famous for not paying on time.
Ascend Company
Has anyone worked for the Ascend Company or know anything about them?
Ascend - Forwarn - Do Not Work for this Company
I have worked for several medical transcription companies over the years and have found Ascend Healthcare to be the worst company, by far, to work for.
A very-very negative atmosphere . .
No direct deposit available. .
Constant idol threats . .
Holds checks for 2 weeks after each pay period ends.
A lot of heavy ESL . . and very hard dictators.
Management - Backstabbers
Penalties are sometimes assessed for errors; docking $ money from paycheck
The list goes on and on . . . .
This company has been discussed many times here.
Try doing a search and checking the archives as there is a lot of information there, but none of its sounds very good.
Ascend
Stay far away.
I believe that was Ascend who had that ad going. nm

Ascend
Yea but Jay is really bad about this. He's got a bad reputation. I feel for your friend.
Ascend
Was your friend an IC or employee? If IC, wage an hour won't help.
Ascend
Does anyone working for Ascend have any info on them? Thanks a lot.
Ascend
I would appreciate information about Ascend. Thank you.
Ascend
Has Ascend management improved?
Ascend
I worked for them several years ago. The problem I had with them was bounced and late paychecks. Last I heard, this was still a recurring issue with them. Unless something has changed as of recent, it is a foreign-owned company as well.
Ascend anyone?
ANY information would be great before I apply. I saw some bad posts a while back, but has this cleared up or are they still foreign-owned and bouncing checks?
Ascend
So Ascend paids on time now?
Ascend
Any new information on Ascend? Are they still having the same problems I've seen in the archives regarding pay issues? Thinking about applying. TIA.
Ascend
I just accepted an offer with Ascend today!!! Do they pay or not???
Ascend
I worked for them through last year as MT/Editor. Made $0.10 for STAT and $0.06 for editing. Pay on time, enough work but some tough accounts. I left because of family problems. No major problems.
Anyone here work for Ascend?
I know they outsource, have done a search and read the info there, but what's the scoop NOW? Thanks!
Ascend info
I need to the real specifics on this company before I accept their offer. The pay they are stating is within reason. Does their accounts consist of ESL doctors? Does any of their paychecks bounce? Please help, thanks. Good bless the hurricane victims.
Can't swear but think she is with Ascend.

How 'bout Ascend?
What about Ascend? I'm looking for a QA position. How is the pay and how are the benefits? I work for MQ now -- help me!!
Ascend feedback
Does anyone work for Ascend? Love it? Dislike it?
Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.
There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.
Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.
I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Like Ascend. There is an off-shore
connection and the owner is ESL.
ASCEND HEALTHCARE
They pay 6 cents per line. I am training there in QA, but there are a lot of administrative details...
ascend healthcare
Any new information on Ascend? Are they paying their MTs on time now? TIA.
Ascend Healthcare?
Anyone care to share your experience with this company?
Does anyone know how it is to work for Ascend?
They offered me a job. Does anyone know anything about them?
Any updated info on Ascend?
I know they have a good pay rate, but have they started paying their employees?
it's ascend -- DON'T DO IT. you'll hate it.

What happened to Ascend post?
I was watching a post from last week about Ascend, but now it's gone.......
Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee. How is the work and are they truly paying on time? Do they have direct deposit? Thanks!
so does this mean OSI can still be discussed in

This has probably been discussed before....sm
But could someone tell me what is a low/high rate of pay when getting paid by the minute? Never worked this way but it could be a more fair way to pay??? Not sure. Comments appreciated. TIA
this also has been discussed in the very
recent past with more than a handfull stating they do that range regularly.
That has already been discussed. nm
Already discussed below. nm

The only way this has been discussed --sm
to death is by a whole group of sourpusses jumping on her for even asking the question in the first place and telling her in no uncertain terms to do her own research, that she was not *entitled* to ask the question in the first place because she was wanting everybody else to do the work for her. There were a few *nice* responders who did give her some valid suggestions, but most of you all just tore her a *new one* for no reason whatsoever, other than you could, and that's it. Now THAT is rude! Her original question was not truly *discussed* at all, but ridiculed with rude responses, and nothing more. So don't try to make yourselves out as justified in your responses, because you are not. schoolyard bullies, all of you.
My understanding is that Ascend is making efforts
to pay those who have not received a check as yet. If you have questions, please feel free to email me as I have been working with the owner regarding non payment issues. Thanks, Administrator.
Has Ascend paying on time improved?
I see Ascend is needed radiology Transcriptionist and I just want to know if things are changed since the archives I have read.
Ascend Healthcare info and suggestions
Any info out there on Ascend Healthcare? Any suggestions on a great company to work for when one is just looking for part-time IC status employment?
Ascend, almost all the Sten-Tel franchises, Spheris, Transdyne

Ascend owner is Indian and there are TONS of ESLs

Does Ascend acute care require C-phone?

MQ is not to be discussed on this board. (SM)
There is a board for MQ posts and ALL MQ discussions belong there.
If you want to talk about DQS, which many companies use, refrain from bringing MQ into your post -- it invites MQ discussion and MQ discussion is restricted to the MQ board.

This has been discussed many times over the last
few weeks. Do a search of this site and you will find many posts. You can scroll down or go to the second page and probably even the third page at the bottom and find posts from people who work there. I know I am very happy. They are a very nice company with excellent benefits.
Companies can be discussed. (SM)

Please read and be familiar with posting guidelines at the top of the Company board.
Next time, e-mail myself or the Administrator about why your post is deleted.
Thank you,

just discussed further down this same page
the link again
I would think you would know, pay should never be discussed with anyone - not very professional.

we had discussed the situation
We had had a discussion about my mom before the warnings and my supervisor had made the statement that I would not be terminated but that I could possibly be placed back on part-time. Afterwards the warnings came and I requested a leave with no response. I wasn't taking it lightly. I knew my performance was very poor; I just didn't know what to do about it. Actually I wasn't upset they terminated me it was kind of a relief but the deposit on my equipment hey had no legitimate reason for keeping any part of it.
