Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.

Lots of stuff in the archives, but it is a horrible
company.  Some of the worst ESLs, sound quality horrible at least on some accounts, frequent turnover.  I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. 
Lots of posts recently in the archives. Horrible
company
Check archives, lots there.
 
Check the archives. Lots about them recently.
I wouldn't bother.  They can't get you anything better than you can get yourself.  They are basically recruiters who get paid if you are hired, but they don't have a whole bunch of companies so they aren't really weeding them out for you. 
Check the archives, lots on them. Indian run. nm
 
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm

Lots of info on all in the archives.
SS is a horrible company.  They are constantly hiring and new accounts isn't the reason.  I don't think Keystrokes hires for PT. 
Search the archives, lots of info on them.
 
Read the archives, lots of info there.
 
Lots of info in the archives. Seems to be a mass
exodus going on. 
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
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. 
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company.  I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down.  They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work.  Not much nice to say about them from recent posts. 
Check archives, plenty of info.

Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
 
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
 
Lots and lots of posts in the archives.
 
Think twice. It is a horrible place. I won't

go into all the details, but if you read the archives you'll find lots of stuff.  I recently read where they pay 8 cpl and I'm always reading about how they say they pay better than most companies, but I make more than that.  They have some accounts that the dictators are the worst ESL you've ever had and the sound quality is just as bad and no way can you make money on the account.


They have a very high turnover rate - which should give you a clue that just one MT who couldn't cut it and just wants to trash them. 


They e-mail me about once a year to offer me a position.   I wouldn't work for them unless my children were starving and even then I think I would work the red light district firs. 


Lots. Horrible company.
Sound quality horrible, dictators beyond horrible.  Late paychecks, constantly changing ways to get lines, horrible management. 
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. 


Wow! What horrible place is this?!! Mandatory OT??? Ugh...nm

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.  
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. 
Look through the archives. Lots about them, all bad. nm
 
Search the archives, lots on them. Most seem to be
happy there. 
Lots of stuff in the archives. nm

Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too. 
Read the archives. Lots there, most of it not
good.   Someone else asked about them this week so scroll through the board. 
Lots of stuff about them in the archives, none of it
good.  I don't have your answers, but they offshore big time. 
Found lots in archives. Thanks though!

Lots of information in the archives, but I
think the general concensus is Spheris isn't a good company.
They're great; lots in the archives
Yeah, you get bonuses based on your lines per hour rate, for all lines, not just the extra ones.  The past few months I've been able to add 2 cents to my line rate based on the bonuses.  Insurance is about $50 out of my paycheck for just me.

Lots of stuff in archives; go to the page numbers at the bottom, hit Ctrl-F for find and type in WebMedX.

The only possible negative I can think of is ESLs and slightly more difficult work, but if you passed their test, you should be fine.  You're mostly on the same accounts, so you get used to them.
There is lots of current information in the archives.

They offshore, but they don't want you to know that.


 


Lots of posts in archives stating that it is
a Indian run company.  Supposedly they have a U.S. storefront office in MA.  Turnover is very high, which is why they constantly have ads running.  The only good thing I've ever heard about them is they will hire newbies.  They pretty much have to because an experienced MT would not want to work for them unless they couldn't find a job elsewhere. 
Yep. Like other poster said, lots in the archives. 99+% good feedback
on this company. Check the archives.
Is anyone happy at OSI in Douglasville, GA? Lots of negatives in archives - SM
but I also remember reading some positive comments. I am a CMT with 30 years of experience, and I need employee status with good, affordable health insurance.  I so wish I could fine some place where I can stay until I retire, or at least a long, long time!
If this is the place out of Los Angeles..run.. just archives and the Better Business Bureau.
I'd run fast..
Posts from the last 2 yrs said not a good place to work. Lots of MTs

Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.

I did check archives but - sm

You need to check the archives.

A lot in the archives about Transend.


Check the archives. Nothing has
varying rates. You have to wait 120 days to get it.  Don't know about the other company.  We are always having system problems at Transcend, even now is down again.  Beyond TXT goes down on a daily basis so be sure to be flexible and work around it. Poor sound quality.  You have to email tech for problems and they take usually a full day to get back to you, so that can cost money due to lost production.  Also, all accounts going to VR in the next several months, and Transcend will only pay you half your line count, usually 4 CPL, for VR.  On the positive side, pay is always on time and they have direct deposit.  You will learn a lot more about Transcend if you check the archives.  I have found all of it to be true.
