My, you must have a lot of patience unless

you are management.


If they wouldn't have put down their MTs so bad with all the crap, I would still be there. I just couldn't take the IMs, do THIS-no don't do this, do THAT kind of stuff, mandatory conference calls, and on and on and on. When I worked there, there  weren't many newbies. There were some really sensible people there, then they got rid of some good QA people and put indecisive QA people in there. I was in  he--  the last month or so I worked there and supposedly it has gotten worse.  


That would be one of the LAST places I'd apply for work.


Patience...sm
It has only been a few days since you applied, according to the posting dates here. With the amount of resumes I see being sent out to any good and reputable company being in the 1000s, I would think it would take more than just a few days to go through them all and then decide which ones to respond to. The first company I ever worked with took two months to respond to my resume. Try being a little more patient before giving up on them and thinking negatively, and posting negatively about them. I am sure you weren't the only one who applied. m-e-l-l-o-w.
Hey Patience! :)
Happy to help, in any way I can... hey, I'm as skeptical as the next person, but all those doom-and-gloom predictions did NOT come true for me. In fact, people from Transcend went out of their way to try to reassure us TRSers in any way they could, and truly, no bad things have happened at all. I'm working the same shift, the same accounts, higher pay actually, and my workload hasn't gone off to India because the clients whose accounts I do won't allow it. They don't like speech wreck either, apparently, so I'm still straight typing as well.

They've done a few other things such as transfer all of our various account instruction documents to the web, so we don't have to keep trying to log into a cantankerous shared network drive to find the latest version of the instructions. They also send out an automatic e-mail every time there's any update or revision to the instructions for the accounts we work on.

They also shut down the old TRS e-mail system, eventually, and we minions all opened Gmail accounts which we are able to access in Outlook. We also still have our MSN instant messaging going on; that didn't change at all. We can talk to our supervisors, co-workers and QA people very quickly and easily with it, even faster than e-mail (assuming the person you want to talk to is online at the time).

We do still have to get into that aforementioned shared drive to look for dictator samples, but I don't have to use it nearly as much as I used to because I have accumulated some pretty extensive sample files of my own, from which I do a LOT of copying and pasting.

Anybody out there, PLEASE feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions you think I might be able to answer. I don't guarantee I have answers but I'm happy to talk to anybody who wants.

Patience is a virtue...mine took six months --sm
to get back to me. Still there..three years later. They have to do their daily work too, probably are inundated with 1000s of resumes, have to test them all, and then decide who they want to interview. It is a long process and time consuming. If they want you they will get back to you..eventually. In the meantime, keep looking elsewhere.
Patience, is your account internet or c-phone? nm

Patient = Patience Thank goodness it is Saturday.

Just applied with them. Patience, how long did it take for you to hear back from them?

Just checking
Linda Hill and TU are both alive and well. What do you want to know?
Checking
I am going to check mine as well. I understood they paid for this on the first page only is this correct?
Okay, just checking. Please
Any way you can send me an email, cassy? I have some information but would rather not post here (you'll understand once I tell you)!
try checking with the BBB
i am a religious person and would be skeptical of a company that invoked His name in this business.
I would suggest just checking into other
companies to see if you can find a fit for you. I personally have gone back to IC work because I'm tired of the hassles you have to deal with as an employee. Good luck to you, hope it all works out in the end.
enough already with checking spelling and - nm

Checking on Spheris
Need help.....anybody out there work for Spheris?  Need honest opinions about the company please!
From my checking around TTS has lowest pay
NM
I will be checking on this. No fair
I currently work QA there and am paid by the line. If they are bringing on new people at an hourly rate, then we all need to be switched to hourly.

Checking credentials
Agree with you Gourdpainter, checking credentials explains many things. The roller coaster started the down slide several years back and will pretty soon be at the point of no return, if not there already. One could sing the song The Way We Were.
ok. just checking. thought maybe the whole
board had been blocked for some reason or other. lol. pouring cats and dogs here, and supposed to have a condo association picnic today! not without my scuba gear! Have a nice day too.
Hi Siren, I was checking the MD-IT website and sm
they acquired SecureMTSource back in June also. Maybe if you check out some of the people who went through it already, that might help. Try a search for SecureMTSource.
I applied with them before checking with MT Stars...

but their offer was so low-ball I declined, after taking their rather rigorous and pain-in-the-neck test.  Then I remembered this board and started reading... and thought phew, I dodged THAT bullet! 


This is not just about MTSO checking credit. It is

I just spent a lot of time checking the web and the
personally attempt it. Maybe you will get some good feedback from people who actually work there, but there was enough information here for me to realize it may not be the place for me personally... I will see if you get any responses, because I am wondering if there are good things there too... Good luck to you!
I've been checking mine today
They seem pretty accurate, same as for the past +1 year.
One supervisor I had actually said, "They should be checking these reports." uh no, not dr
and she still has her high-paying job while me and others are in the dirt. 
There are so many things we MT's need to look for when checking out jobs opportunities ...

We can ask and ask questions, but hard to cover all the bases.  There is so much to weigh when looking into these companies anymore.  Transtech offers us 11 PTO days, but no sick time, vacation time, NOR paid holidays.  Only paid for the holiday if you work it ! 


I guess the office employees didn't get paid for the holiday, even though they were at home and the office doors closed !


Have been timing off system and checking back in every so often (sm)
so I don't show too many hours on. Used to work for Medquist and their time clock made you paranoid about things like this.
I'd suggest checking the link enclosed. There are

If you're paid by the line, and not for checking - sm
demographics, then the more time you spend checking demographics, the more you are working for free. A little bit of it is one thing, a lot of it is quite another.
Personal computers and have no idea WHAT they are checking for, but they will not get a chance!nm

calculus is with and acalculous is without. I knew that, just double checking. Thnx!

Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

That is why I left. I spent days sitting in front of the computer, checking for
work every 5 minutes (or less) for 8+ hours trying to get work. On my days off I used to work 12+ hour days to make up lines, but then they hired people for Friday-Monday work and then there wasn't extra work to make up lines. I would get up at 3 or 4 a.m. and try to get work. I gave it a good try, frequently asked STM for more work, went over her head. They didn't seem to care, meanwhile I'm taking $300 to $400/month out of savings to cover my bills.
