Look in the archives. Seems someone asks
this question about once a month.
Read the archives. Hardly a day goes by that

someone asks info on a company that was just discussed the day before.  There are other forums besides this one too where you can get info on companies.  Post your resume on the various job boards.  There are companies that do not post ads but hire from the resumes.   My current position I was hired from my resume and I have been offered a couple of other positions from companies who contacted me from my resume who did not post ads. 


I work for a good company and honestly they are not hiring.  Other MTs do seem to get upset when people will not tell them what company they work for.  I don't believe they are afraid of losing their job to someone else (at least for the most part I don't), but they don't want the company to overhire.  There are many posts on the boards about people not having work for days on end because companies are overhiring. 


All you have to do is read the archives.
Overall it seems that most MTs are very happy.   BTW I am not a TT MT. 
Read through the archives. There have

been posts about them just above every well.  They are an Indian run company. 


Read the archives. I did QA and did not like it.

Read the archives and then RUN.

Why not read the archives?

If you read through the archives you'll see not
much good about this company, especially from people who refused to listen to the issues that others had and went to work for them anyway.  They offshore big time, constant turnover.   I wouldn't consider it.        
They were actually one of the companies I was looking at until I read the archives..it seems
they haven't changed at all with the negative responses this time around.  Thanks for the warnings! 
If you read the archives you should find what you are looking for, although

you won't find much good about them.  


If you read the archives you won't find much

good about them.  They switch you from account to account. They have had management problems for many years.  Their line counting is difficult to figure out and they dock you for lots of things.  They also offshore and are currently training women in Trinidad and somewhere else so you know what that means.   Some of their accounts are teaching hospital and I worked on one of them and the dictation quality was horrendous.  If you're a newbie I doubt they'd put you on it though. 


There are worse companies out there, but I still wouldn't recommend TRS. 


 


Read the archives. Someone else just asked about
them this week.   They are not a good company. 
Read the archives. Lots there, most of it not
good.   Someone else asked about them this week so scroll through the board. 
You must do a search and read OSI archives

read the archives. also, low work
times outside of the holidays is just plain poor staffing, which can be done so that everyone has enough and the work is kept up. It has been done. Problem is, getting people to do more when there is a slam. No incentives for it? they won't come through. company solution? overhire.
Plenty of bad if you read the archives, but the
fact that they offshore so much is enough to keep me away. 
If you read the posts in the archives you

will run as fast as you can.  They are not are reputable company and I'm not even sure they are a transcription company at all, but a front just to rob you blind.  We call them TransScam. 


There are multiple unresolved complaints with the BBB. 


Read the archives. Doesn't pay much, you
pay expenses and get reimbursed. 
Read the archives, lots of info there.
 
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.  
Read the archives. Many posts, none good. nm
 
Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits.  Thanks!
I found Medgarde, but read in the archives...
that they don't pay for spaces and make you pay for their platform. Is this still the case?
Read in the archives that Mediscript (FL) is "bad news" Why?

I read in archives that pay is 65 char wo spaces, is that true?

Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company. 
Precyse Solutions -- I've read the archives and I'm looking for updated ...
responses. Is there anybody here that's actually happy working for Precyse? Are most folks making decent money there?

Thanks.
Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
 
Opinions on Focus. Please. I read all archives. Please most recent info. Thanks. NM

Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
 
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Someone asks about them every so often and there are
posts in the archives about them.  There has been a problem in the past with them paying on-time.   I was offered a position with them but they didn't pay squat.   I received a postcard from them last week about openings. 
READ THE ARCHIVES. There are volumes and volumes
about Keystrokes.  All you have to do is scroll down the page a bit and you'll find several posts.  You can also open your original post and click on related messages. 
Someone asks about this company about every other day, little to
no info. 
Our company asks if at all possible
we just work a couple of hours, which for me is not a big deal except for Christmas, when I go out of town.
If the EMR asks questions, and all they have to
and since VR is already in the picture, you'd think they'd just come up with an EMR that they just say 'yes' or 'no' into. Unless they have that already.

Of course, if that comes about, then they'll want US to edit it, for .000005 cpl.
I have a standard response to that when someone asks me why they have to do that. sm
I work for another MTSO and have worked for 2 others in the past; all have required paperwork faxed out. It is quicker and more reliable than snail mail.

My response is --- if you are complaining this early in your employment, you will probably find something to complain about daily. There are alternatives to faxing, and the main 2 are: You can mail the paperwork back to me; however, I will only hold the job for 24 hours OR you can drive here and hand it to me, which is definitely more expensive than faxing AND you have to deal with traffic in LA.

A fax machine costs $25 now. An all-in-one printer is not much more and you can print pictures on one too!
My company asks for volunteers.
My company only has IC status so there is no requirement to work holidays. They send an e-mail the week before and ask for volunteers. I've only volunteered for one in the long time that I've been there and they've never tried to pressure me into working.
anything or any place that asks for money--sm
even to do a *background check* is not legit. Besides that, 55 dollars seems ridiculously high for that type of check, when one can do a check themselves through various sites for 14.00. Rip off. sorry you got scammed.
who asks for other employee rate?, nobody.
.
Someone asks about this company weekly. Lots of
info available. 
Above post asks do you get paid for your TIME to

A good recruiter asks all the specifics and can hope they are given
all the information. You are right too about good recruiters being MTs because they know what to really do and how an MT thinks.
of coure a company asks about previous employment
there is a reason why they asked about your previous employment, and it has nothing do to with bait and switch.
and before anyone asks, I am not a suck up and I am not mgmt. I am an MT who needs insurance becaus
my husband losing his job last year and his new company having an outrageously high plan.
When I click on self service it brings up "HEAT" and asks me for a logn and password
my Q-net login doesn't work here. Is this something you had to get preapproved or sign up for separately somehow?
Excuse me, but yes she did. The OP's very last line posted by anony asks "do they pay spaces?&
Someone probably needs more coffee this morning but it isn't me. All I did was make a simple comment and this is what I get. It's no wonder a lot of us don't post more often as we get flamed for everything we say.
I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.

Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
