Sounds like the company I work for now. Horrible

Posted By: QA games, and being the newcomer, forget on 2009-01-08
In Reply to: Anyone know of a good company for QA - without these problems ...

it.  The company in general is also very, very strict on QA, so there's never a relaxed minute as the newbie on the block, and the cliques! Its cruel. I feel like I'm in school again, getting left out and laughed at and even set up for failure.  There is always someone calling out sick, etc., as you describe, and I am told I always have to be the one to cover due to seniority, or my lack of it.  Its so upsetting that I'm just about to throw in the towel myself.  I'm sorry I can't recommend anyone other than MQ QA, but I heard they are no longer hiring QA staff.  They used to pay really, really well and the conditions were fine.  Best of luck to you.

Sounds like a horrible company to me
They pay 5 cpl, charge you if you send reports to QA, and only pay once a month. Also, someone posted an article about the owner below that was in BusinessWeek. It states how much debt she is in cuz she's not aggressive about making sure her clients pay her. Also, she charges 12 cpl, but then only pays the MTs 5???!!! Why would anyone work for a company like that?
Horrible company, horrible dictators, ESL
at its absolute worst, sound quality horrible.  The MTs I did QA for were horrendous.  They made up words, obviously didn't use a spellchecker, couldn't get the hang of something as simple as copying and pasting Preop diagnoses to postop diagnoses and would type same again and again.  QA manager would send out updates for new drugs, equipment and have things misspelled, frequently got e-mails that evidently were sent because someone wanted to feel important, absolutely no useful information, management problems, lots and lots of turnover, including management.    The CEO has no clue about transcription and is in it for the money.  After talking with him you feel like you need a shower. 
Sounds like you work at my company.
They never respond to calls or e-mails and, when they do, it shows they never understood the question or problem. LOL.
Sounds like you work for the company/account

I do FT.   I'm 17 hours short this week.  Fortunately there is plenty of work today, my day off.  I won't be able to get any overtime but hopefully I'll be able to make up most of those 17 hours. 


I hope my company flies under the radar. This is horrible what happens to one company sm
after another on this board.  The owners must have very thick skin.  First TT, then Amphion, now Keystrokes.  No one is safe.  I hope everyone takes all they read with a grain of salt.  I have met a few of the owners of the some of the bigger services, and they are all very nice, including those that own Webmedx, Keystrokes, Execuscribe, Medware, MDI and Transcend.  I hate to think how they feel when they read things on here, even though they all say they don't read the posts here and advise against it.  I don't know how they don't read them; I look just to make sure that no one mentions mine.
Horrible, horrible, horrible place. Unlike the other poster
I actually worked there.   Sound quality is horrendous.  The account I had was the worst ESL I've ever had and I do 85% ESL so I have no problems doing ESL.   Frequent management turnover.   When I was doing QA the work was so bad that I pretty much had to redo every report.  I hear about how well they pay, but they don't pay that well and certainly not enough to compensate for all the other stuff. 
This company is horrible and you'd be better

off not taking a position with them.   There are issues with their line counts with MTs being cheated - this is in addition to horrible management, horrible dictators, horrible QA people ......


Horrible company!
Do not work for this company. They want their work 12 TAT or sooner. They will drive you crazy!!!
Horrible company!!
Do not work for this company. The pay is horrible!!! They pay $4.25 per 1,000 words. That's like 5 cents per line!!!
They are such a horrible company they can't keep
good, qualified people, so they have to give newbies a chance so they can get the work done. 
Yup...horrible company
Someone else just asked about them a week or two ago. I worked there almost 2 years ago for about a month as an IC. They are an Indian company. They just have a store front location in Massachusetts, but they only do payroll and HR there. The account leads, QA, and trainers are all in India, and these are the people that you will always be dealing with. I also found that the pay was on the low side. The training was horrible because of the huge language barrier, and I didn't learn a thing. I was always running out of work and the QA, account leads, and technical support, in my experience, were pretty rude. I was even yelled at one time because I called for tech support and couldn't understand them! They also deduct pay for errors. I got out a few weeks after I started. I just couldn't take it anymore. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to work for them.
TTS is a horrible company.
xxx
SS is a horrible company, but as far as the
lack of work I've heard several people complain about it lately and are trying to pick up some part-time work. 
They are a horrible company and they did you
a favor if you decided to look elsewhere. 
WHAT?! What a horrible company.
x
Lots. Horrible company.
Sound quality horrible, dictators beyond horrible.  Late paychecks, constantly changing ways to get lines, horrible management. 
Had a horrible experience with this company and could not with a

clear conscious recommend them.  Check archives or scroll back to November for details. 


Horrible company. Bad dictators,

platform has got to be the worst thing out there.  They are run by a bunch of people who don't know what they are doing.  They all tell you to do something different when it comes to the account specs.  Impossible to make any money there. 


SoftScript is a horrible company, would not be on my
top 10 companies.  I haven't worked for Transcend.  I hated WMX too.  I had heard lots of good things about them, but I sure didn't see it.  There have been lots of bad posts about them lately. 
Horrible company, they are legit though.

There is a reason they are always hiring.   Lots in the archives.


Worked there 2 years ago..horrible, horrible, horrible.
Would totally avoid them at all costs.
Worst company out there. Horrible sound
quality, horrible ESLs, system not user friendly, loopy QA.   I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. 
Read through the archives, horrible company.
The dictators are some of the worst ESLs, sound quality is horrific, the reports are so bad I had to basically retype them, flaky QA, management problems, etc.  
A horrible company who does not value truth or the employees.

Great platform, horrible company
NM
Judging from previous posts they are a horrible company.
THey offshore big time.  If you'll search the archives you'll find lots on them. 
All the old reviews say they're horrible. Listen to those MTs and choose another company. nm

You like no work, horrible
sound files and inconsisent QA then I guess they're ok.  Have a backup plan because you're sure to not make much money there.
SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm
nm
horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.

That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
What work are they offshoring? I get horrible
dictation and I get very good dictation.  I work on multiple accounts and the dictators aren't disappearing.  I get work types of all kinds, depending on the workload, and lately I've gotten a mix of stuff.  
TRS is a horrible place to work

Extremely bad management, constant changes in management, constant do more, do more, do more, benefits always changing and not to the benefit of the MT but always to save them money.  If you want to be a number and constantly being looked at for what you DO NOT do rather than what you do accomplish, then TRS is the place for you.  If you want to make money and be happy, I think flipping burgers at McDonald's is a few steps up from TRS. 


I watched way too many good people get walked all over at that company and finally leave.  I lost my faith in the idea they could come back to a good company and after several years, decided to take myself to another company. 


I hope you find what you are looking for, but please run away fast from TRS as I would hate to see another MT treated the way they are treating their people. 


Yes, that was horrible and I know a few girls that still work there...
and it is still horrible...You would think they would have gotten that taken care of by now...
Low work volumes, horrible sound

What is going on with Transcend?


I am about to leave also and I never thought I'd see myself type that!


 


I had a couple friends work for her OMG she is HORRIBLE!!
She is new to running a company (within the last couple years) and is pretty clueless. She just isnt cut out to do it. I ended up hiring one of her MTs that she thought was awful and is one of my best editors. Quite ridiculous really. I would steer as far away as you possibly can. If you DO decide to work for her, do NOT quit the job you have or you will end up in a bad situation. Very few stay with her. Just honest words and hopefully helpful info. Sorry to slam on her so bad and I really do not like doiing that to companies, but she is honestly the most hateful and incompent MTSO I have EVER heard of.
SS is a horrible place to work. If the hospital
job didn't work out I'd still recommend looking elsewhere besides SS.  I won't repeat all the details here, but lots of information on what SS isn't a good company in the archives. 
Horrible accounts, horrible sound quality, etc
The only time SoftScript would not be wonderful is if you aren't doing your job. They are an extremely professional company. Sounds like someone may not have lived up to their standards.
Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.
 
No work, my supervisor was horrible to work with

I worked for OSi for about a month, and during that time, I had little to no work.  They kept saying things were going to get better, but I didn't have the time or $$$ to wait it out.  I was just glad I left my old company on good terms, because I had to back so I wouldn't starve.  I am also a very easy going person, but didn't get along with my supervisor at all.  I felt she tried to stir up things, and never got back to me when I asked questions.  Maybe their work has picked up since I was there


Same experience...awesome to work for, horrible platform..sm
I've been an MT for close to 20 years and am most productive on ER accounts where I can create my own templates and Expanders out the ying yang. After 2 months and the worst line counts of my entire career, I had to move on. I do want to point out that PM does have some of the nicest, most helpful staff I've ever worked for! The platform is the ONLY reason I left.
Horrible platform. Horrible communication.
Horrible people who say one thing and then when you do what they say, they get mad and act ugly.

Enough of a bone?
It sounds like a new company that
since they want so many lines per day.  NOT IC IN MY BOOK!!  JMHO..... 
What company is using this? Sounds like something new here. nm
s
Sounds to me like this vulture of a company
and is trying to cash in on the goods! Don't do it! Just when you thought people couldn't sink any lower....like the Heartland scum......you get vultures trying to take advantage of someone and kick them while they're down....makes me sick!!!!!!!!!!!
This sounds like the company I just left!
I wonder if the MTSO has changed the name of the company? If it is the same company, I think you are wise to drop them and do it ASAP.
That sounds like my last company...I have a better home now,
But I am more and more afraid of how long that will last with insurance and bills going up and wages staying the same or going down. Scary times.
Thta sounds like my company. They sm
don't want to pay overtime, yet they have to keep TAT.

I have a crazy picture of one company sending work over to another company!

(That's a joke, before anyone has a knipchin or anything, IT'S A JOKE.)
Actually that's sounds like something the company bully would say.
They let other personal issues bleed into their work environment and feel they have the right to bully all the MTs they can, because they want everyone to be as miserable as them. There is no room for rudeness to anyone by anyone. Thankfully I work at a company that would never tolerate that bad attitude and people treat each other with respect. It is very refreshing.
sounds like the company I worked for
Happened to me, too. By any chance, is this company located in Colorado?
The company sounds wonderful, by chance....
do you need a really dedicated Radiology MT???? 
Sounds like my company - starts with T, ends with D.
No work to be found.
