There's lots of recent info...
you just need to scroll down the page and maybe to page 2 or 3.
Use the "search for" box instead. Lots of info.

Lots more current info is available. It is the
worst company I ever worked for.  Sound quality horrible, the worst ESL dictators, management problems, low pay for the dictators, owners have no MT background, which means they are in it for the $$. 
Lots of info on all in the archives.
SS is a horrible company.  They are constantly hiring and new accounts isn't the reason.  I don't think Keystrokes hires for PT. 
Lots of changes there right now, not good. nm

Search the archives, lots of info on them.
 
Lots of info, posts weekly about them.
They offshore, pay is average.   Didn't accept position so don't know about platform.

Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too. 
Thanks - you have a good day too, and hope we have lots
of work to make our line counts!
Lots of good things below about
I just applied and hope to hear from them, the archives and the posts below from some of their MTs looks good.
Have you done a recent search on MTstars? Please do...lots of info
Depending on your qualifications, you can do better...
Lots of stuff in the achives, nothing good.
You can open your post and click on the see related posts link to bring up info.  You can open those posts and see all the responses related to that one too. 
Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.  
Check the archives and more recent posts. Lots of info there.

Horrible place. Check the archives, lots of info there.
 
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
Sorry, but I want info, lots of info...
before I make any decisions about what comes next in my work life.

Would you like fries with that, Sir? Welcome to WalMart! How'm I doing so far? Do I sound sincere yet? (At least these two companies are, and always will be, USA-based.)
Do a search. Lots of recent stuff--good and bad. nm

TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM

YOG before MQ -- lots of work and good income back then. nm

Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
lots of good technical things, but they outsource overseas
and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.

if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.

my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.
Well, you clearly need to readjust your settings, beause there's lots of good posted.

Sounds good to me, but lots of variables. Employer stability, for one. nm

I checked the archives and read all the messages.  Have things changed for the better here?  Is there steady, reliable work?  Able to make any decent money?  Thanks!
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
 
Lots and lots of work. You will love
