not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services.  As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending.  All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company.  I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down.  The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same.  I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again.

    I told you--these people weren't only extremely rude and mean..
    But really dense!!  I can't believe they keep posting and proving 'me' point. 
    The rude rude rude post is TRUE
    .
    My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
    This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
    Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
    Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.

    3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm

    the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee.  Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great.  VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform.  They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

    They still seem to be disorganized from what I can tell, but
    I didn't have any of the particulars as far as pay, etc.   Their test was a killer though. 
    Very disorganized...just me...nm

    Still very disorganized. sm
    IMHO, there are some pretty big problems especially in the communications department. They do pay on time and you probably would have enough work if you asked for more than one account. But I think they should have some hard internal come-to-Jesus meetings and get organized before they take on more accounts and more people.
    very disorganized, no work, low pay
    spare yourself the agony!
    After one week of working for them, I notified them about my wish to terminate the contract (2 wks notification required). After completing the full 3 wks (luckily I found a good company to work for!), I sent them invoice for (whatever little available) work done amounting to $65 (hahaha! what a joke!!!) and still have not received any payment...
    Don't waste your time and talent.
    The point is that they are disorganized

    and unprofessional....


    that is the point, not that the recruiter was out to get her but that the recruiter is lazy and incompetent and too lazy to come up with a better excuse or a better way of presenting the position.


     


    Very disorganized company. nm

    I had the same experience, very disorganized - sm
    I had to wait about 6 weeks for my first check, that alone made me nervous but I did get paid w/o issue every 2 weeks after the initial wait. I only used C-phone and word though no platform. Agree with the bad QA, nice enough people though very, very disorganized.
    They seem to be terribly disorganized, trying to
    change procedures, added new staff, adding lots of new accounts and I guess they are just overloaded.  I would definitely recommend a phone call.  Usually after that things get rolling.
    This company is very, very disorganized.
    They seem to be very nice people, but they really need to evaluate the way they do things and put a checks and balances system in place so that people don't fall through the cracks. I was in disbelief at the experience that I had with Keystrokes. I just moved on.

    One should not have to keep reminding a company that they have hired you and that you need to get started. Unbelievable. I am not bashing...just sharing my opinion of this company.
    Very disorganized. I worked for them for like a
    They owner will IM you to death for 8 hours straight.  Yes, IM is a requirement.  Meditech was the platform, which is horrible. 
    They are ok. Kind of disorganized but

    VERY disorganized company.
    The supervisors are not MT's and it's hard to get any information.  I have a second interview Tuesday elsewhere and will be moving on.
    Not only disorganized but I found
    less than knowledgeable.  Based on her answers to my questions I concluded she had no experience as an MT which didn't sit well with me as I think she also doubled as the transcription supervisor also.  Based on my interview and then prior posts about this company regarding QA issues, platform and dictators I decided to keep looking as I didn't get a feeling there would be stability with this company. 
    I think they use different programs, very confusing and disorganized
    nm
    When I was there a year ago, they were VERY disorganized but still micromanaged and
    :+
    MDI-FL, very disorganized. Agree with poster (sm)

    They get nasty at MDI-FL and answers to questions ignored if they don't like the question being asked.  Paid time off is NEVER correct and good luck getting the time listed on the stub.  Work flow is hit and miss.  They order you off and then back on with VR accounts.  Pay and insurance benefits are better than most if you tolerate their demands and disrespect.


    Do you find it a very disorganized company?
    x
    Transcend is so incredibly disorganized.
    They need to get their act together before they buy another company. Nobody knows what the other is doing, poor communication all around.
    Rude, rude posters
    Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you.  Don't run down OSi because some of us like them.  No problems either and I have 10 years experience.  No newbies here like you say.  Love the accounts I'm on.  Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case. 
    It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
    been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow!
    Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
    She had an attitude right off the bat.
    I am thinking they are disorganized and shorthanded with admin
    That is the impression I get.... and they called and told me not to call back because they are constantly on the phone. okay so ? But ?
    Shapin...unprofessional, disorganized, let go without any warnings at all.
    I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!
    Drs. who are so disorganized you get a 15-minute report and wind up
    Drives me NUTS! 
    I thought their training was AWFUL. Disorganized, sm...
    and way late on feedback (it took me more than 24 hours to get feedback on my first training day)! I lasted about 30 minutes into the second day and said I'M DONE! The platform, IMO, is rather cumbersome, as well. No DD for 90 days, as I recall. All in all, I would suggest to look elsewhere, but this is JUST MY OPINION!
    Very disorganized. Unqualified ppl in upper managment

    Three words..Feast or Famine.., disorganized, and bad communication, anything else??
    I wish I had more positives other than pay is on time. That is about the only positive at all.
    Great bennies but extremely disorganized and out of work a lot. nm

    Precyse. Disorganized, low work, broken promises.

    Disorganized. If you aren't the favorite, then forget it. Never enough work
    so you can work your schedule.  But if you don't get your line count, you are expected to do whatever it takes to make it.  Keep looking -- there are better companies out there. not to mention you'll get talked about behind your back
    You weren't there, you don't know..

    And like I said, if you weren't typing SM

    the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with.  And how did they get angry with you anyway?  Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?


    From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems.  Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc. 


    They weren't even bad. I don't know why they were deleted sm
    unless the name-calling started again. That is the only reason they are deleted. I wish they would've stayed as there was a lot of information from both the company and others and none of it really ugly unless someone blew it as usual.
    They weren't very structured when I was there. SM
    They pay okay, around 10 cents a line, but no benefits, no taxes taken out, no direct deposit, so that brings it down to about 6 cents a line.  If you want your check overnighted, you pay about $25 or $30 for that.  Otherwise it gets mailed and take a chance on when you get it.  Even having it overnighted does not always work.  I had three or four instances when my check was lost, twice for weeks at a time.  I'll stick with the more MT friendly companies who manage to pay 9 and 10 cents a line and still give full benefits and direct deposit. I don't mind working a weekend day now and then.
    Heard they weren't less than 8 cpl.


    Oh, I'm sure they weren't! But what I meant was, (sm)
    not that we be contacted before the sale, but after. We sure haven't been getting any reassurance, here.
    There weren't a lot of us left (sm)
    I think there were a couple of accounts and we were waiting on some bids to come through but capital-wise apparently they could not keep operating waiting on potential accounts so decision was made to close.

    I think we all knew it was potentially coming, just surprised that it happened so quickly. I have no hard feelings, but am nervous about finding new work as I have little experience looking for a job!
    weren't they saying last year during
    transcriptionists?  It was part of some contest or something.  Maybe that was a few years ago.
    now I know you weren't talking to ME right?

    Who are you talking to. I did not say you weren't! Respond where you are
    supposed to
    This is the price of doing business. If there weren't
    something in it for you, you wouldn't be doing it - whether it be money, ego, prestinge, etc.
