recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.

Please, please, please....read past posts.
They should give you enough warning.
Guess I'll pass too. Lots of experience sm
with these types of reports but the pay is pretty shabby for a veteran MT. 
Posts about them almost daily. Read through past
posts.  They offshore.  Communication horrible. 
If you look down just a few posts you'll see it

has been asked about. 


Yes, don't even think about it. If you'll read the
archives there should be plenty of information why you should look elsewhere.  
I'm sorry about your experience - you'll always find at least one QA
person like that. If you are only hearing negative, you may also want to consider this: QA usually also have a very high quota of reports to meet per day and don't have time to give extensive feedback a lot of the times so you will only hear if you are doing something wrong - does that help at all? Consider no news on the others good news.
We'll find out more tomorrow (4/25)
We have a conference call about this Ceridian screw-up, and I'll ask specifically about the Equifax thing, but have a feeling it's legit - unfortunately like all the rest of this.  
Go to work for them and you'll find out
LOLOLOLOL
If you look in the archives you'll find several
posts regarding problems with getting paid.   They don't pay that well to start with.  I have 20 years of experience and they offered me 8 cpl.  I don't know anything else about them, but the payment issue would be enough for me to stay away. 
Posts about them usually get deleted, but I'll
post my experience.   They represented companies that already post on all the job boards.  The line rate was not any better, no better benefits, shifts, etc. going through TM than if I had applied myself.  I know this because I had already been offered a job twice by the company that they wanted me to test for.   You have to go through an interview and testing (although the test is really a joke) and then go through it again with whatever company, so I see no advantage of going through TM. 
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
If you read through the archives you'll see not
much good about this company, especially from people who refused to listen to the issues that others had and went to work for them anyway.  They offshore big time, constant turnover.   I wouldn't consider it.        
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
I don't think you'll find any work here..unless you have a C-phone...
Not much work here to keep me busy or even make my line requirements.

If you read the archieves you'll see Spheris
is NOT a good company.
I have read lots of posts here and yours, without a doubt,
seems to me to be one of the worst I have seen. You have just told another human being they have nothing of importance to offer to anyone. I saw this and I hope you feel better by posting because I think by far it is the worst as far as putting someone down. For the 1 this was intended for, I hope you take it with a grain of salt and do not stake your life on a statement like this. I would, as my mother used to say, consider the source.
The pay is very low and they also offshore. If I can find the link, I'll post it.

You'll be hard pressed to find a company
that pays hourly and allows you to work at home, that just isn't the way the business works.   I'm not saying that those type of positions don't exist, just that they are extremely rare.  Now if you worked on-site that is a different story. 
Yeah, your posts just ooze happiness. I'll just skip over yours from now on..nm
Bubbye!
If you read your paperwork, you'll see that is an option they have. Also, the state of Illinois
does not have right to work law, any employer can fire you at any time without cause.
Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.

I believe there were posts in the past. (sm)
Check the archives. As I recall, it wasn't good!
Maybe these past posts will help --

I don't work for them but I was thinking about it and I remembered there was a lot of chatter about them within the last couple of months so I did a search of the MTStars Company Board cause I thought I remembered something that might be helpful to you.  Until you get updated info from current or past employees maybe this will help. 


Medical Axolotl [2007-08-25]


Med - employee $100/mo., employee +1 $200/mo., employee + kids $200/mo.and employee + family $300/mo.


 


Axolotl [2007-08-18]


Axolotl expects quality and reliable MTs. Due to the fact, they do not overstaff, it is IMPERATIVE, everyone be there for their scheduled shifts. They provide OUTSTANDING and affordable benefits, as well as more than competitive pay. If you meet the above standards as an MT, then you should apply. If you don't meet these standards, then you need to find a company who doesn't expect you to produce quality documents and to show up for your shift. I have been an MT for 13 years. Axolotl is better than any company I have ever researched or any employerI have worked for. If you are looking for former employees who did not meet the above standards, I am sure you can find them.


 


Good luck in whatever you decide. 


 


There have been several posts about them the past
couple of weeks.  
I have seen several posts over the past
few months (possibly by the same person) who talks about how great they pay.  Someone posted the past week that they offered 8 cpl.  That is not great pay by any stretch, especially with some of the crappy accounts they have. 
There have been posts in the past about MT World and
they were all bad.  I believed they offshored, don't know if they still do. 
There have been some negative posts about them in the past. nm

You may want to search for past posts (sm)
This has been discussed frequently in the past.  I do not personally do this type of transcription, but I have seen posts generally anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 CPL.  I am assuming that 5 cpl is a little above average.  There are also others, I'm sure, who are making more.  But definitely search for past posts, I think you will find more info there.
Past posts have them paying only 7 and 7.5 cpl, even for experience. What about

I have been there awhile. The good posts are because over the past few years sm
they have really worked hard to improve employee relationships and it has worked. There are no problems there anymore. They used to say they were growing pains and we all wondered how long they could say that. Now I am glad I stuck it out because all the old problems (and I mean old being over 2 years or more) are gone. Great company to work for.
They last had an ad here in 6/2006, FT only, using Weblinc software. Past posts said
