outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO.  QA is very helpful and always encouraging.  I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake.  The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center.  I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work. 
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
I do. Very nice people. I have plenty of work sm
Pay is on time. Nobody bothers me. I have a great account and wonderful software that is Word based,but they have several accounts a couple of different platforms, so not sure what the others are like.
Future-Net as IC, although work can be low. Nice people. nm

Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!
.
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Nice people, agreed; very frustrating to work for, though.
I have to agree that the people are very nice. That's about as far as goes, however. The platform is clunky (We're working on a new one has been the constant refrain for years, with no real sign of it's birth anytime soon).

To answer the original question, I'm able to average about 250 lph, even with the craptacular platform (mostly due to a few docs with regular patter lending themselves to a lot of canned text); that said, I would likely be getting 350 lph or more with similar effort elsewhere.

Back on the negative side, however, the communication there sucks. Maybe 1 in 10 e-mails to management is acknowledged, let alone answered.

Very frustrating.
Nice people but low work, and yes I have multiple accounts!! nm
nm
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm
nm
No, it isn't nice. Most people do acute care, rad, or clinics. Work
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc. 
I just stated with them. Nice people, work out of Word, and pay increases with production. nm
nm
too bad you all would rather let people leave than move to one of these
new accounts that are going live each week. All that hype that Transcend values its employees is just words on paper, but has never been put into practice.
Big Deal... more people should move
a schedule as an IC status.  It's illegal...  tired of it! 
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone.  I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre.  I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
A couple hundred U.S. Constantly hiring, but i bet constantly losing them, too. sm

Who knows how many offshore MTs they have at their training center.


Probably some people will move on and the company saves on benefit pkgs. (sm)

Telling us work is coming in at some time in the future is fine, but right now we have lost more than we have gained and  like you said, if we speed up we will run out quicker.  Not to mention that we will all have to work a little harder in order to make nearly the same as we did before.  Panic will make our fingers work even faster.


Remember the memo we got about over-editing.  Bet your butt we won't be over editing in the future.  If this ISR is so good, it shouldn't need too much now should it?


 


Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible.  You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines.  The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst.  I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice.  I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience.  The rules change constantly.  QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning.  I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed.  Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10.  I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon.  I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady.  I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work.  It's sure not the case.   Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?   
Don't do it. Pay is low. They overhire and work is low constantly.

DSG constantly runs out of work.
x
That is why I am looking now for a second job. The place I work for constantly
runs us out of work and of course it is because things are slow but the fact is they overhired so they dont have to worry about TAT and be bothered with it.  We dont count I guess.
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run
.
Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Forget it. We're constantly running out of work now. sm
Some accounts have work, many really slim.
Sten-Tel runs out of work constantly and bad communication there. nm
nm
they are constantly out of work. Will show 40 jobs and a minute later none.
nm
After about a 2-day period of more work, back to running out constantly.
Maybe they should streamline, get rid of some dead weight, but mostly they should STOP OVERHIRING as they have constantly done in the years I have been there.

This is NOT a seasonal slowdown. They treat us like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.
For nice people.....:)
Hey, I'm nice. Can I post?

Hmmm.....what made me happy today? Bf sent flowers; that did it! LOL

Thanks for starting this post, nice to see a good one once in awhile. :)
Nice people ????
I worked at FN for a year and found the people there (with the exception of a couple) to be very difficult and not really caring about their workers whatsoever. I got tired of the ESLs, the people there, and running out of work...so I found another job. I suggest you do the same...you'll be much happier!

Very nice people
I couldn't disagree more with Olive Oyl.  I've worked there almost a year myself, and I find everyone to be very nice.  I don't get the feeling at all that they do not care about my well being!
Really nice people
I have worked there in the past, and the administrative staff/owner are reallyk nice, understandable, and easy to work with.  I would recommend them.
Nice People

From what I remember this Tracey had a conflict with the operating system on her laptop and there were problems with initial installation but her overall experience with GIS ended up pretty good.  I think she had to leave because she could not afford to continue her training as she had just graduated MT school.  The people at GIS are awesome to work for.  I have been there a little more than 2 years and I love it.  There are no bipolar supervisors.  I think I know who made that post and she was given a one in a lifetime opportunity to slide into management and she failed miserably.  Don't know why she blames it on GIS.


Really nice people there,
but it is the only company I have ever quit on the spot with no notice.  They had me completely at my wits' end.  They didn't have enough work on the accounts they gave me so they kept switching me around - I think I had 4 different accounts in about a week and a half.   Because there was no training pay, I couldn't keep putting in all that time learning new stuff.  I wouldn't have been able to pay my bills.  The people there are really nice though.  
Very nice people....sm
I did general transcription for them briefly, I loved it, the sound quality was awesome!!!!!!!, but I could not handle it with working my full time employee position.  It was just too much for me. They paid me on time, but for general transcription, the pay for general transcription may be low for some, but I was only doing this for extra money part time....
This is too bad! Why would such nice people
go through this? Every Christmas they would have a party for us, and they would never forget us! I left for personal reasons, just to take some time off and be with my children. I hoped to go back b/c I thought they were so family oriented. I hope that things turn around for everyone there.
Nice to see people who like where they
work and what they do.  Question for all you TTers out there.  I looked at their web site and they say they want 5 years of experience.  Do you know if they'll consider people with 2 years?  thanks for your input.
I am working to support myself so running out of work constantly, is not an option.
I realize there are slow times, but a lot of places offer backup accounts. Why put all of your eggs in one basket. I'd starve.
For nice people only no bashers

This is a peaceful message.


Post here only if you have something nice to say.

Worked for them, nice people, low pay. nm

Nice people, but I was switched from
account to account because they ran out work. I also agree with Regina about the non-stop e-mails, etc.--too much distraction during the work day. They pay on time as agreed, but not too much. I'd say keep looking.
Nice people, but the pay scale is quite
complicated and very low. You can only get the top line rate if you're a CMT and trained on multiple accounts. They do send you a computer, but they don't charge for it. The most telling thing is that my former supervisor left shortly after I did. I say keep looking.
Be nice, people - it's Friday

Nice people at Amphion, but there
were workflow issues and the pay is rather low. I gave it half a year, but I had to move on. There was also an issue with having to fill in demographics, which burned a lot of time.
yeh, forget it if the people are nice.

Yes, Precyse provides everything, very nice people there.
