Sten-Tel has the lowest pay I have ever seen - sm


Posted: Jul 12, 2012

Their email just informed me of their awesome pay - 5 to 6 cpl for straight transcription and 2 to 3 cpl for editing.  Oh, and this is working as an IC during the night shift.  This is shameful.  You should be ashamed of yourselves, Sten-Tel!  If you actually make 2 cpl doing VR, you would have to edit 400 lines in an hour just to make 8 bucks an hour.  Does anyone actually work for you?  

Sten-Tel - 24/7

I just got the same email. It's insulting.

I worked as a QA person for them in the past, not for long howerver, and reapplied took their test and the recruiter was "snippy" I got the corrected test back and was SLAMMED. I called her on this and had the QA person on the phone as well. QA sounded like she was 20 and had no clue other than to "slash for grammar, puntucuation etc." When I test, I use Word and with Stedman's spellchecker. I knew that I was correct, but a little "snot nose QA" feels differently. Have at it for wages I made 30 years ago.

I emailed them about their "pay" - dumbfounded

a while back - they actually responded and said it was because docs/hospitals are not willing to pay top dollar anymore for work done. I told them they will all get what they pay for! She was rude, to say the least!

My primary account was yanked with ne'er a word from TSM and I'm waiting for an email as I've been below quota due to that. I've counted and I've done 21 different accounts today alone. So ticked off at TSM. She can't even type a sentence with capitalization or punctuation for heaven's sake. ...

What Is The Lowest Line Rate You Are Willing To Accept As An IC? Sm
Dec 15, 2009

I just applied for a job, aced the test, and have 18+ years experience.  I was offered .06 cpl to start, but will be "generously" bumped up to a whopping .07 cpl once I've proved myself.  I have never, ever been offered anything lower than .08 cpl in my entire career.  I did make 7.75 cpl one, but that was 15 years ago, working for the Q on a simple ER account with templates out the ying yang. I really feel insulted here.  Good grief... I would really appreciate some in ...

Sten-Tel - Be Carefull All!
Jul 21, 2010

Stay away, Stay away, Stay away!!! I was hired as hourly QA full-time. After quitting my job I was told I had to train as an MT for a week or so, only doing 10 jobs a day. Sometimes I could not get even that many! Over a month went by and still was not trained as QA with the statement my quality was not good for stuff like an extra space, missing comma, etc, then my pay was reduced by 72 cents an hour! I have been in this business over 20 years and never had a quality problem anyway, besides if ...

Sten-Tel Of Massachusetts
Jan 08, 2014

Hi All, I just wanted to give everybody a word of warning about Sten-Tel of Massachusetts.  You should avoid them if possible.  Their pay is low, they are extremely picky and the one check that I finally got from them was wrong.  The cherry on top is that they are not the nicest people I've ever dealt with either.  Just thought I'd try to save somebody else the bad experience. ...


Nuance Or Sten Tel
Jan 23, 2015

I'm a recent grad from Med-Line School, and I got a fairly encouraging phone call from Sten Tel in Mass.  However, almost immediately after that came a call from a Nuance recruiter. He was pretty hardcore, to the point of being off-putting, so I agreed to the testing portion. I know beginners can't be choosers, but Nuance seems pretty intense for a newbie. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject? I'm looking for experience, not cpl, so I'm not considering the pay in ...
