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.

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

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).
they only had 100 pages to type!

I already have a job.  If I were trying to nab a full time job, I would have been more careful, but the woman told me she needed someone to help out ASAP, like this afternoon.... so I squeezed in the typing test during my regular work.  She needs help with 100 reports and then bye bye, so I really didn't think spongebob would make a difference to her.


 


Look on pages 9, 10, 11 of the archives,
there's more info there too. 
Yep saw that. They think 10-15 pages an hour.?? sm
This is to coincide with their proposed hourly pay. They get their calculators out and think HEY this sounds good.

They have absolutely no IDEA how long a page takes and what expertise is involved. $1.10 a page. They equate women with typing and this shows value (under-valued, second class, purchased commodity.
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 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.  
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!
Look through the yellow pages of your local

phone book and call agents that offer health insurance.  Make several calls.  I did this when we needed private insurance and each call I made I got a lower premium, although every company had the very same insurance.  Celtic is what we found to be the lowest.  We no longer have this insurance as we have insurance through DH job, but we had no existing conditions, no regular meds, nonsmokers, so I'm not sure if these were covered.   I'd keep calling about COBRA.  The company has to offer it.   If you go 45 days without insurance and have a pre-existing condition you are in trouble, unless things have changed since we got insurance.  There is a temporary insurance through Fortis that is very cheap, but the deductible is very high and it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.


I'd stay away from the association for the self-employed or whatever it is called.  When I called them their rates were double what I could get a private policy for and it was the same insurance.  


 


Go thru the last 4 pages here. They have been discussed recently. nm
s
Any way you can search recent pages w/o having to go to each one
xx
I agree 10 pages to long sm

A while back I applied with a co who sent me a 45 min test file.  I did 20 minutes of the file and sent it back.  I explained that I felt 45 minutes was excessive.  They asked me to work for them.  So you never know. 


That being said, I saw WPU's ad  and $1.25 per page is low.  If you haven't done it before, you'll make less than $10 an hour to start.  If you're decent and can do 10 pages in an hour, you'll make 12.50 an hour.  If you're really good and can do 20 pages in an hour, then you're still only making $25 an hour - for being really good - and that's low in my book.  IMO


then why is it not posted on financial web pages?
No info from Forbes, Reuters...
or as soon as you memorize all of those pages on that account
they change your account again.
Job bank used to have 3 or more pages of jobs.

I do not believe this: This means that you read 11 pages
in half an hour?
One page has 40 lines.

This is a ridiculous statement.
I bet you cannot even read that fast WITHOUT having to make corrections!!!

It is good to be pro-VR, but don't push it with such hilarious pretenses.
you better check this board, all the pages...
someone posted what they pay, what it was like to work there, etc. do your homework. look b4 you leap.
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. 
They have been discussed within the past week, scroll down and
see if you can see the post.  S/B lots more posts in archives.  Nothing good. 
For icons scroll down to "post reply to this msg"
.
If you scroll down you'll see lots of info.

I looked thru 2 pages and couldn't find anything.

I thought it was deleted as can happen here!


Go through the yellow pages of your local phone

book and call insurance companies that offer health insurance.  Call several.  I called 6 companies when I was looking and all the quotes were for the very same insurance, but varied as much as $200/mo.   Celtic was the best insurance.  For a family of 4, nonsmokers it was about $335/mo.   We don't have the insurance now as we have through DH job.  I can't remember if that included dental/vision/maternity coverage.   There is also a temporary insurance through Fortis, that depending on what state you live in is good for 1 year.  It is not renewable and you cannot get it if you have a pre-existing condition, or have been without coverage for a certain time period, can't remember but I think it is 15 days.   We could only get it for 6 months in our state and I paid the premium for the entire coverage and it was $403.00 total for the entire 6 months.  The deductible was $5,000.  This was basically catastrophic insurance, did not cover dental/vision/maternity.   We are all healthy and on no meds so for us it was the best option.    You can check e-insurance website and get some quotes to get an idea of coverage available, though it will not likely have everything that is available included, which is why I suggest calling local agencies.   There is a self-employed organization that offers insurance, but I found to be very expensive, about what you are paying now.  


Check into medical savings accounts.  I don't know that much about them, but I believe you have to qualify for them.   You basically put $$ into an account much like an IRA and get tax breaks.


 


Don't know what they pay, but a poster a few pages back said Rad w/them was awful! nm

I personally don't advertise in the Yellow Pages because I was getting a lot of sm
calls from housewives who know how to type *real good*. Or people who wanted to do this because they saw in a magazine that you can make a lot of money in your free time!
you really need to read through all these pages...see thread inside
there are threads on pages on this company board that are not positive. however, people tend to post negative rather than positive at this site.

people are not going to do your searching for you. do not assume because no one answered your question it is positive sign.

for example, here's a thread at page 10.

good luck.
They used to pay a low per-page rate & the subsequent partial pages
