I work as a trainer for a great company; however, the pay is just not there. I asked for a raise with no response. I have been in the MT business for 20ish years. I have and do perform QA duties, MT duties, etc when needed, but unfortunately the company I work for does not care. I truly love working with new MTs and new employees. I just want to find a company that wants the same. Any suggestions?!

It's kinda like the Irish.
There are people who feel compelled to set off a bomb just to keep the war going. That's you.
Are you entertained by all of this, and can't bear to not continue the conflict? And here I am, adding to it. Well, actually my issue is with YOU, not the company.
Kinda of late to run away when most of
us were KICKED OUT.
I kinda hope you don't.
I've landed in a similar place and I don't want somebody mucking it up. I, like NorCal, has an exclusive account. It's a wonderful feeling seeing there are 12 jobs there, and knowing I can go pour a cup of coffee, take a shower, check the mail, or even paint my nails and know that those 12 jobs, in no danger of going out of TAT, will be there for me. There are days where the account is light, but they are balanced by the ones that are bountiful. I have no desire to poach on anybody else's account and accept the light days as part of the rhythm of the job. When they add new accounts, I can ask for a piece of that, but until then I respect other people's work, and I sure as heck would hate to see this place turn into your type of snatch-and-grab tactics, because it's great being able to go to the bathroom without worrying about a vulture picking the work carcass clean.
I kinda had that same thought, but I tried to stifle it.
I see some of these posts where people brag about making big bucks on their own accounts, and it just boggles my mind because their spelling and grammar are atrocious. Why am I having such a tough time making any money at MT with a 99.8% or higher QA score?
Ew - kinda scary! Thanks for the warning everybody. (nm)
(nm)
kinda agrees with my point
great new insurance -- NO DETAILS AVAILABLE --- trust us, we have anonymous posters on a board that say they love working for us.
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm

lol...yah, person sounds kinda mad

LOL, it DID look kinda like something Focus would do to get applicants....
We all need an occasional giggle...Thinking Focus posted that to attract applicants was pretty entertaining :-)
Kinda like you should check your capitalizations?
Because she's not simply expressing an opinion, she is on a rant about a company she doesn't even intend to work for. If you don't like what you're offered, don't accept. It's that simple.
Sounds like there's a lot more than the MDI offer that has her off to the races.
There are constructive ways to present your argument and there are less constructive ways that make one appear a bit over the edge.
Nice way to pick on another poster's spelling though. I'll bet you're one of those delightful ladies that try to rain on everybody's parade who's happy, too.
Next time, check your own posts very carefully before you squirm in delight at finding a typo in another poster's post.
Have a lovely day :-)
Ever analyze this kinda stuff???
Those ticker-tapes that run along the bottom of the TV screen during news broadcasts, such as local news channels, MSNBC, CNN, HLN, etc?
I love to watch those just to catch all the typos (yes, I sometimes sit and watch the news for an hour to catch the highlights and find myself obsessing over the typos the ticker contains, lol!).
Oracle...nothing. Kinda disappointed.
I thought they liked us?
I kinda don't think they give a rats azz.
Hey if they can get us to work for 8 cent s a line, 150 lines an hour for a whopping $12.00 buck/hr. Hey!
May even be less and hour as the trend is going lower than 8 cents a line. Plus they keep hacking away at the lines counted by reconfiguring the system to give certain letters a value of this or that, or no value. It is a bad profession.
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.
For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.
Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?
As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.
Mountain.
Molehill.
Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
Kinda like being RAPED, and then believing
nm
excited in a scared hopeless kinda way
Yeah, they kinda help to get the message across. Barb, let me
know if you need help finding them. 
whoa what kinda mistakes are YOU making?
You work that many hours and I am sure there are a few screw ups here and there in your reports from tiredness. I mean even your posts are very hard to understand.
Not sure why the negativity and sarcasm ... kinda sounds like the old
lover scorned thing ... LOL. No company can probably say that it never runs out of work, but I have 2 accounts, and have only had to go to my secondary account maybe 10 times in the almost 1 year I have been there now. At least the management team at TT cares. I have worked for companies where I ran out of work, and the response I got was a laugh and just take the day off. At least TT will get you another account.
As far as your remark alluding to the fact that if we were so busy working, we wouldn't be here -- do you work 24/7? Also, TT is not a sweatshop. We are allowed breaks. 
Maybe you had a bad experience with them. No company is a great fit for everyone, that's for sure. I have seen people rave about companies on here, tried them myself, and thought YUCK.
It is only 6 am and my shift doesn't start until 4p, but I guess I shouldn't be posting here since apparently it implies that TT has no work ... LOL.
LOL .. kinda funny when they try to be mean and can't even spell. Good for you. nm
Hmmm...sounds kinda fishy to me.
They need to give you a straight answer.
I kinda have the feeling this is a Cardioscribes account ...
... it just sounds so similar. And if CS is outsourcing to them (and they pay 9 cpl), the 7 cpl would make sense. Not that it's anything close to respectable pay.
Clearly, it's so much more financially intelligent to just go straight to CS if you want this kind of work.
Ya know, I've been kinda depressed about not getting hired by them...
even though I'm sure I did well on their test and got the mass E-mamil stating that there were some evening shifts open and they would get back soon as more positions open. Just reading about how great they are and me not even able to get hired made me feel, inadequate. Maybe, I'm lucky I didn't get hired?
Who says you have to give your correct name/address/etc? I did it .. was kinda fun. nm
Kinda funny huh? Guess no one will get hired, LOL!
Geez people ~ take that off before posting an ad looking for MTs!
I thought it was no only VERY easy, but kinda fun, after the initial panic !!!
I received a job offer the next day which I also accepted. Nice to be working with you.

CTS never pays on time and platform kinda sucks.
No idea about other company.
I no longer work there … kinda glad now. Sorry to see the changes that have happened. nm

Kinda funny since they gave away a prize in the giveaway yesterday. nm

Kinda closed-minded, but you're entitled to your opinion.
I'd much rather work in Saudi Arabia than downtown Detroit. Talk about double-ugh!
Kinda sounds like you got scammed into doing some free work for them. I'd bail. They are underhan
I wouldn't trust anyone who does business like that.
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
Kinda funny, they call themselves DTS America, but help desk calls are from India. sm
Otherwise, though, the people are good to deal with, pay on time. I only worked part time, and my account was on ExText. After 90 days, you can have direct deposit.

I quit a couple of months ago and still get emails and phone calls asking for extra help, so maybe whoever said they are disorganized is correct. I didn't care for the account I had, but my supervisor was great.
Wasnt Bonnie with Medware, then StatIQ or something and now Transolutions?? Kinda makes you worry
when a recruiter keeps changing jobs too.. Maybe, it's because she is unsure of whether her companies do or DONT offshore... Hmmmmm...(scratching my head) Could just be the sad state of affairs in that before you know it, even the most solid people become job hoppers. I had ONE job for 10 years and all I have done since I started doing this at-home stuff is job hop. Very discouraging.
Archieved info from Futurenet is kinda old (fall of 2008) and was wondering how things are now? sm
Got an offer... they admitted to lots of ESLs which is nothing new to me. Being an IC is nothing new to me either. The recruiter was a doll. I like to work independently, don't mind running out of work once in a while as that's the way things go at certain times of the year in this biz, but want pretty steady work most of the time. I don't mind being asked to work extra. I don't mind working one weekend day. I don't need a ton of flexibility all the time, but don't want to be called if I am half an hour late one day and hope to be trusted to make it up myself. I don't want or need to be babysat. Will I be happy, I ask the 8 ball?
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
anyone who has been in the biz long enough should know sm
that summer time is usually slow. This has been my experience, anyway. I'm glad I gave MQ a chance, it's worked out wonderfully! 
How long ago were you with them?
And how long did you stay with them? Thx.
well it was certainly not that long ago.
This is just the truth. I think people should be aware of things that have happened. She probably won't have any problems, but it does happen.
How long did it take
after submitting your resume before you heard from them?
Thanks. May I ask how long ago that was
and possibly why you left, issues with company?
how long have you been there.....
are they going VR? How long did it take you to get used to the platform and make decent money after training? Do they doc your pay for mistakes? How is QA. How many lines can you do there a day and is the work consistent, i mean really consistent? Has there been anything that you don't like, if so what? thank you so much
How long have you been with TH?
Can you give specifics on thier benefits?
How long
have you been working for them? IC or employed?
how long ago was that?
Was it recent or before their personnel adjustments?
