This was extensively discussed this past week or so...sm
Best check the IRS guidelines before asserting such information.
Just scroll down, this has been discussed

They have been discussed multiple times the past 1 to 2 weeks, look
down the board.   There wasn't anything good though.
They were discussed the last week or so, nothing
nice to say about them.  They stopped direct deposit and you have to pay to have it overnighted or wait for snail mail.  Used to be a good company years ago, just gone downhill like most of the others. 
Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company

Well, last day this past week my pay was
over $18.00 an hour. I don't consider that too bad myself. I personally am very happy there, no problem with anyone, they leave you alone, no IMing all the time nor emails, good support, love the platform. Great place for me.
Transcend running their ads when there has hardly been work this past week.
If your flexible this is the job for you. Feast or famine. Yet, we need to hire more help. How about giving the ones who sit all day waiting to work..some work..
Honestly, this past week it was been really slow..slim pickens and not sure why. That's the way i
goes in this business..It's either slow or you cant keep up.
Not true anymore. That changed this past week when they decided that to go back to having PT MT'
I talked to my Coordinator who told me that during their meetings this past week at the office, it was decided that some PT positions were necessary.

The decision for FT only was officially made in September but they have decided to go back to having some PT MT's fo fill the needs of some accounts. There will be definite standards to be met, including must have one weekend shift and must do a minimum of 2500 lines a week, but there will be some PT MT's hired when needed. She did say that the number of positions would be limited, trying to fill accounts with FT MT's first.

This came directly from one of the Coordinators who was in the meetings last week.


Got offered 1.5 cent/line this past week....she said her editors tell her they make good $$....

You have to scroll down to see their ad.
They are not focus.
Just scroll down the page
There have been plenty of recent posts on this company. Also, look on page 2, 3, etc...
How far back to I have to scroll?

Scroll down a bit...there are more posts
All I know is the offer wasn't very good and they offshore...enough for me.
no need for archives - scroll over to

scroll down the page a bit...sm
low pay, expensive benefits, often not enough work, but nice people.
Scroll down the page, others with you.
nm
scroll down this page

Never mind; I see now that you have to scroll down
Still loving the 10-12 hours a day for 3 days in a row. Not.

Can anybody figure out what $1.25 per 1000 characters really equals in cpl? Their ad says it ''equals out to about 9 cents a line,'' but my calculations aren't making any sense (probably because of spaces not being paid, I'd guess? ... I don't know how to convert from 65 cpl with spaces versus without).
scroll down this page for talk of better

Scroll down, there is test in the post. nm

Go to your original post. Scroll down a bit and look
for the see related messages in blue.  Click on that and you'll get past posts. 
Scroll down a couple pages (sm)
There are a few posts about them, nothing good that I saw.  I do remember complaints about not enough work and the owner needing to sharpen up on his communication and people skills.
scroll to posts from the date

03-03-2007. Theye are posts from management regarding PT issue.


 


If you'll scroll down the page there have only been about
2 dozen posts about them in the past week.  
What? There are a ton of TT MTs posting here. Scroll through the last few pages.
I would estimate that 95% of what you see posted here about TT is positive.
Yes, I was wrong in that I couldn't scroll down
person is basically a third party, getting us the work while we can still enjoy IC status, who cares?? Let her do the work, if that's what the MTs who work for her want.   I certainly would rather sit back and transcribe and not handle all the other MAJOR stuff that comes with having our own accounts.  Its a heck of a lot more work than you intimate.  I'd gladly pay for a middle man to handle the big BS stuff, not worth the pennies more to me.  So, to each his/her own, right?  Peace!! Get upset at other bigger issues out there!
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and
go to page 2. There's a list almost at the top of the page. Hope this helps!
Scroll down and read the numerous posts over the
last week or so.  Also dozens of posts in the archives. 
Scroll down the board. This company has been asked about
several times this week, if not every day this week.   Not much info other than they don't pay very well. 
Tons of stuff in the archives or scroll down a
bit.  They have been discussed extensively here recently.  For the most part it is all good. 
For icons scroll down to "post reply to this msg"

If you scroll down you'll see lots of info.

Just scroll back several days and search the pages for webmedx. nm

Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
so does this mean OSI can still be discussed in
x
This has probably been discussed before....sm
But could someone tell me what is a low/high rate of pay when getting paid by the minute?  Never worked this way but it could be a more fair way to pay???  Not sure.  Comments appreciated.  TIA
this also has been discussed in the very
recent past with more than a handfull stating they do that range regularly.

That has already been discussed. nm
 
Already discussed below. nm

The only way this has been discussed --sm
to death is by a whole group of sourpusses jumping on her for even asking the question in the first place and telling her in no uncertain terms to do her own research, that she was not *entitled* to ask the question in the first place because she was wanting everybody else to do the work for her. There were a few *nice* responders who did give her some valid suggestions, but most of you all just tore her a *new one* for no reason whatsoever, other than you could, and that's it. Now THAT is rude! Her original question was not truly *discussed* at all, but ridiculed with rude responses, and nothing more. So don't try to make yourselves out as justified in your responses, because you are not. schoolyard bullies, all of you.
MQ is not to be discussed on this board. (SM)

There is a board for MQ posts and ALL MQ discussions belong there.


If you want to talk about DQS, which many companies use, refrain from bringing MQ into your post -- it invites MQ discussion and MQ discussion is restricted to the MQ board.

This has been discussed many times over the last

few weeks.  Do a search of this site and you will find many posts.  You can scroll down or go to the second page and probably even the third page at the bottom and find posts from people who work there.  I know I am very happy.  They are a very nice company with excellent benefits.
