Big turnover on this account. They constantly advertise. Look elsewhere.

Thanks! I wonder if the keep their MTs or have a big turnover. Seems
like people dont stay very long.
High turnover.......
I live in New Jersey and this is a not a good company to work for....read the old posts about this company in the Archives. Not a good company....
Very high turnover....
They always keep running the same ad every 3 weeks or so, so that should tell you something about them. I did not like testing for them at all, so I just gave up! Horrible dictators.
Is this a new account or just turnover etc?
?
They have a huge turnover in office as sm
well as MTs. Someone gets fired at least every 3 months. Big into power game playing. Do it this way or else. Yes, very disorganized and someone is talking behind your back all the time.
Major turnover with new pay scale...
hmm...I wonder why!
They offshore. They lie. They have enormous turnover.

Mainly because people don't heed the warnings and work for them anyway and then end up quitting right away because the warnings were right.


They employ somewhere around 900 American MTs and around 3800 Indian MTs.  They had a big shake up back in may and fired a bunch of QA people and some management people as well.  My facts are straight as I got it straight from the horses' mouths.


Focus has a tremendous turnover. Their
management/tech support is largely Indian.  I would not put Focus on my list of companies to consider. 
Anyone currently working for DSG know if they have a large turnover of MTs there and how is it
to work there at the present time.  Just looking!
Very high turnover rate at this company (sm)
You have to ask yourself why do they lose so many employees. This is not an MT oriented company. I would say that they constantly advertise because they regularly lose MTs.
High turnover of MTs. Inconsistent workload. SM
I have a friend who works there. I've resisted the urge to join her because she hates it, but it pays well. The owner can't seem to manage workflow and threatens MTs with cutting them off if they don't work extra. Now that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I don't need the hassle. Proceed with caution.
Actually, a high turnover rate more likely means
that the GOOD MTs are staying put and the MTs who had to cheat on their test and/or lie during their interview, have no experience, or are just job hoppers tend to run off when they can't hack the accounts they have been assigned.
Reason for high turnover of MTs I guess

Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.

Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
A high turnover rate means all the good MTs

leave and only MTs left at the company are probably the ones who had trouble getting the job they have let alone leaving to find a new one.  That's what a high turnover rate means.  Not to mention, why would anyone want to work for a company with a high turnover rate?  Something's wrong if people keep leaving.


It's called logic and deductive reasoning.  And some people in this neck of the cyber woods are sorely lacking in both.


How do you know there is high turnover? The companies I have worked for get new accounts. sm
They hire because of having more work, not because their current MT's are leaving.

Some of the companies hire constantly because of turnover but most do because of growth.

The BS that MQ has done over the past few years has opened up a lot of new business for many good companies and it looks like that will continue for a while until CBay either runs it to the ground or converts all the accounts they possibly can.
High turnover rate? I don't think so. I have worked with the same group sm
for the past 2 years and the only change has been that the account got busier and 5 or 6 people were added. Keystrokes is a great company, and they do a lot for all of us.
Yes, VERY heavy ESL.

Why would getting top heavy with
I can understand not answering emails but top heavy with management really isn't any of the MTs business.
Don't know about turnover but new clients coming on board - GREAT company

despite the heavy negatives
i vote MQ; tried a couple smaller companies -- but when you roll into the mix all the various factors, its my choice place to be. and furthermore, its my family's sole income and as a FT employee -- i'm not even worried about the lawsuits and all. The company is constantly improving. There are no signs of sell-out or collapse, only of strength.
MDI-FL'ers, can you do 250 LPH, even with heavy

Very heavy HISPANIC ESL

OSI heavy on the offshoring, I believe.

Heavy ESL account...sm
I happen to work on the heavy ESL account at Axolotl. It is difficult, I won't lie. There are not many Asian dictators, but I have many years of experience with ESLs and I do find it to be quite difficult. I have only been with Axolotl since July and just moved over onto this account a few weeks back, but it was my secondary prior to that. I think with time, they are very doable; however, it is not a huge money-making account. I can't come near the 250-300 lph I used to be able to do (which might be age showing, too), but I love this company and they are very accommodating in many ways! Work has been slow lately, but is supposed to be picking up as this account brings on more work. If you are up for a challenge and would like to work for a great company, I'd say go for it. They are really, really good about filling in blanks and providing feedback and you can even relisten to the job which helps you learn them better! e-mail me if you'd like!
Heavy ESL is probably exactly why I got that callback...
now that you mention it. Before I quit, they had me in a very heavy ESL account. That's not specifically why I left (didn't help), it was a combination of things, mainly that I couldn't move through the junk quickly enough to make a decent paycheck anymore and knew it was not gonna get better there. Of course, I was told at the time that was all they could give me. We do not have a fit for you, yeah, buddy. Going back would just mean more mistreatment. I personally hope they have to fold.
High turnover rate with good reason; email for info.

Count on heavy Mon and Tues and then
computer up to 14 hours or so a day to wait for work to drop in to get your line count, or you can just work 365 days/yr. They will tell you to work outside your schedule if there is not work and expect you to have a consistent daily line count.
You are NEW !! TransTech is HEAVY into VR. Where did you get your info from?

Every account is about 75%-80% VR -- unless it a new account which the voice machine has not been able to interpret the doctor yet.  You just wait . . . your turn is coming for VR.  They beg for more editors to be trained each and every week.


How well does eScription do on heavy ESL physicians?
Also, how long after using this platform did you find yourself doubling in your productivity?  Anything you could provide would be greatly appreciated. 
How many of these VR lines for heavy ESL dictators?
Thanks.
Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
 
Their pay is the pits unless you're a heavy producer. nm

18 years acute care, heavy ESL. Thank you.

Can you give the initials of what the heavy ESL accts were?

The work is pretty darned heavy now!

People have said the ESL load with FN is very heavy AND they don't offer DD. nm

CS.net slow and horribly "click-heavy." Anything

Doesn't that chip on your shoulder ever get heavy?
Maybe you should consider a career change. Being locked up all day away from the real world has obviously made you bitter and a tad dillusional. Have you considered counseling?
On my TT account, the only times heavy editing
Is required is if there is a bad connection (static and muffled connections wreak havoc with Escription, as with any VR system). Other than that, my production is probably 2.5 times greater than it is with straight transcription; essentially, the means my pay increased slightly with the transition to VR.

I believe the poster means that if you cannot catch *nonsense* the system churns out and correct it, then that person really shouldn't be an MT because details is what our jobs are all about.
Wow, that's a sturdy, heavy cup -- I'm surprised. I didn't take the job with them sm

about a year ago and I have had regrets a few times, but seeing all this I guess God was looking out for me and I made the right decison after all.  I'm so sorry that this is happening to everyone.  I never heard of cutting someone's pay after hired but then again, a lot of things have happened in the past few years that I never thought would happen. 


Good luck.   


Lots of people like it here even though the ESL load is supposed to be heavy. nm

HEAVY ESLs, will not switch accounts if you are having difficulty, and more...sm
Plus you have to pay $25.00 every payday to get your check UPS to you.  Now, I never have known UPS to charge $25.00 to mail a letter overnight!  They must be making profit off of it.  The worst ESLs ever!  I have worked for many years as a MT but NEVER had this horrible of ESLs.  Not to mention the VERY RUDE QA staff!  Supervisors and work flow are nice.  I would think twice.  But pay was always on time and always correct.  You just have to balance out.  They used to run out of work too.  Don't know if that has changed or not.
Posts here from last month said the ESL load was unusually heavy. nm
