Posted: Nov 14, 2010

and they will offer me a job.  Is there work there?  I have no work with MQ and would like to find a different job.  Should I take it?  Just need more work and already working 2 jobs!  Thanks!

Asking whether to go from MQ to Transcend - Burned

is like asking which is best, the gas chamber or the electric chair.......

To work at Transcend you need to be very flexible with your time. If you are willing to work nights and weekends or even graveyard shift there is ample work. However, during the day it is slim pickins' Also if in good region able to go to several different accounts to work on.

A lot depends on the manager you get, the platform they are hiring for and the shift. I USED to work for Transcend but I have a terrific job with Precyse now and LOVE it. I have all the work I want and they are constantly asking for OT. The platform is spectacular and they treat you well..I'm left alone to do my work but I have someone at IMs reach if I have a question.

At Transcend, unlike Medquist, you don't - have to learn 50 accounts

all at once. You might have 4 to 5 AT THE MOST; usually, more like 2 or 3 accounts.

No work - End of rope

I have had hardly any work for 3 weeks now and I am on huge accounts. They have overhired and like to keep the work down to zero all the time. Usually have a couple of jobs at a time and that is all.

Thank you all for your imput. I now know what to do. All I want is to work. I am willing to do a - MQMT

I need the work and it seems like so many MTSOs over hire and I am there now and don't want to jump into that situation agan! Thank you again!

I second that!!! - RLee

I loved working for Deventure - never any problems, always had work, good management, etc. Cannot say the same for Transcend unfortunately.

Do I take a job with Transcend - switching

[ In Reply To ..]
I have been FT with MQ for over 15 years and now work PT with Transcend as well. I have been comparing the two and I am going to switch to Transcend full time and leave MQ. Lack of work seems to vary with the accounts you work on and your willingness to be flexible, not necessarily the company. It comes with the industry. At MQ I never run out of work. I have run out very occasionally at TS but I only work PT and I only have 2 accounts. There are many at MQ who run out all the time. I think it depends on the accounts you work on at any company and your ability to go with the flow and ask for more work. I am going to transcend because I like the management structure better, the communication is better and the opportunity for advancement is better. That's just my experience to add to your decision process, everyone else has their own. Good luck.

I would stay with MQ if you have lots of work. Transcend always over hires and then you end up with no work at all. They bought out the last 2 places I worked and it was a disaster! I was working all different hours just to try and get work. I am glad I am not there anymore. Just my opinion but ... FYI it happened both times with both companies! : )
