Ascend Limited? - gintex


Posted: Apr 14, 2011

Searched the boards and cannot find anything about this company out of Virginia.  Any news? 

Ascend - not bad, cumbersome platform but pay more than most...nm - Current MT

They offered me 7.5 cpl ... doesn't seem more than most. :( - Old MT

Ascend - me

There is plenty on the boards, just read a bunch today. They basically throw you in with about 5 minutes of training, you use an FTP program and when it doesn't work, forget it, there is no contact person to help you. Account specifics, supposedly they have them but you have to beg and beg. Don't expect emails to be answered, they aren't. Poorly run.

Is It Common To Have A Limited Amount Of Work During The Summer Season?
Aug 05, 2012

I'm curious if this is throughout a lot of MT companies where the summer seasons are the slowest in terms of receiving work. I used to have an abundunt amount of doctors to transcribe for across multiple accounts, but now all of a sudden that has changed, and I am almost always out of work and I no longer transcribe for what I'm estimating as half to 3/4 of the list of docs. Is this something normal? Do doctors get together and take a 3-month hiatus at once, or something...? I'm p ...

Ascend Heatlhcare Sucks!
Oct 14, 2009

Beware anyone thinking about working for Ascend!  They are extremely unorganized and chaotic.  I don't know why they make you submit invoices - which are very time consuming to prepare - when they will just pay you something different or not at all.  They shorted my first paycheck by 1/3.  When I was finally able to get in touch with someone, they did send me the adjustment.... but I have not received my last paycheck at all!!!  I have tried to contact them several ...

Ascend - Stay Clear Of Them
Apr 10, 2014

If you want to be paid for any work you do I would not advise working for this company.  I have not been paid for "phase I" of the transcribing we were supposed to do which was supposed to be paid last week, evidently there are others according to the main board.  This company hired for an account that was supposed to be started but evidently has not, they are feeding the MTs 10 reports at a time so you get a total of 30 reports in each phase as they call it for a stipend of 200, however, they ...

Hi everyone!  Long time, no see!  I've been around the boards for years (since I started MT school back in 2000).  There have been a lot of changes in my life over the last few years--changes for the good.  I lost weight, got divorced, and now have a new boyfriend :). I've been working in-house for the last few years and really want to go back to working from home.  My kids are all older (3 teens!) and require very little supervision, so I can only imagine it ...
