Job seeker with an ad for TTS MTs - What is up with this company?


Posted: Jun 28, 2014

TTS is constantly advertising for MTs and at the bottom of this ad posted yesterday are 7 Dislikes. Who dislikes a company advertising for help and why?

They are from people who had a bad experience working there or the fact that they continually run hiring ads. That tells me they have a hard time retaining good employees, why? It's a huge red flag.

I believe the average pay for employees is 3 cpl for VR - anon

ICs only get 4 cpl.

So what do you think is the going rate for most places? - Why say only get

[ In Reply To ..]
4 cpl? This is what most everyone is paying now, 8/4.

i have FT and PT at 8/6 - no name

there are still companies out there that pay somewhat decent and I am proof.

Love my job. It is a difficult account, but I am a smart person and can handle it and do great!
I said the "going" rate and you and others know - what that is
[ In Reply To ..]
I have no problem with the 4 cpl and make good money because I am fast and make more than the average so does not bother me.
i dont care what you said- go ahead and argue- i made another point - geez louise

good grief-

People you need to get a grip on yourselves and stop the bickering over trivial things.

The "going rate" is NOT 3 cpl for an employee... - anon
[ In Reply To ..]
That was my point. You sound overly defensive. I didn't say it was a terrible company. I was just stating why I gave it a dislike. For you to justify 3 cpl for VR is ludicrous. For any company. To reiterate. NO. That is not the "going rate".

The ones getting 4 cpl are only the independent contractors who, BTW, get no benefits and pay more taxes/FICA than an employee.

I think it is a person - s/m

who constantly wants to stir the pot. Anyone you know??

Can't like/dislike more than once - Get a clue

Oh, I have a clue and that is what I meant - s/m

[ In Reply To ..]
About biweekly someone wants to come in and say something about TTS, why is this going on, what's up with this company, blah, blah, blah and I think it is someone just wanting to stir the pot. I care less about likes/dislikes, pay no attention to those but I do think the person posting is 1 in the same.
So, who exactly is posting now? OP? - Sure
[ In Reply To ..]
The replies seem pretty honest to me and not at all intended to "stir the pot."
"the person posting is 1 in the same." - what does this mean?
[ In Reply To ..]
You think the dislikes are coming from the same person?

That is impossible as you only get to vote for a post once.

Even if you pay no attention to likes and dislikes it will give you clues as to how many people disagree with the concept of your post or what people think of TTS advertising for MTs.
Just Google what1 in the same means - Steph
[ In Reply To ..]
I don't even look at the likes and dislikes, never pay any attention to those so have no idea where they come from or even if a posting has them.

Never said they came from 1 poster.

My "1 in the same" meant think the same person each week (or biweekly) loves to come and cause talk against TTS.

It had NOTHING to do with likes/dislikes.



One AND the same? - Likes and dislikes are CLUES
[ In Reply To ..]
If someone has a lot of dislikes other people who may not post are not liking your ideas or stand on a subject.

Just because you do not pay attention to likes and dislikes means nothing other than you would not make a good detective looking at all evidence to draw a conclusion. That was the question from the OP, why dislike a company advertising for help. Dislikes (and likes) are relevant.
Yep, like those have been on here like - forever, what 3 months now
[ In Reply To ..]
Whatever.
I have no idea how long the likes and dislikes - have been on MTStars but......
[ In Reply To ..]
The likes and dislikes are relevant and provide insight into whether or not your ideas or standpoints are accepted. You can choose to ignore them but that is like sticking your head in the sand and hoping everyone accepts your ideas when you have the opportunity to see if your post is generally accepted by other posters. Obviously they do not accept TTS advertisements for employment for whatever reason. I can only assume it may not be a good company to work for based on the dislikes and constant advertising for MTs.
As long as I have been here never had those and - we had enough sense to make our own conclusions
[ In Reply To ..]
I would hate to think had to rely on likes or dislikes to run my life. I have my own mind and make it up myself. I guess younger people now days have to guidelines in order to make a decision. As far as what one assumes, that is really a joke. My saying is when you assume you are usually wrong.

When I first log onto MT Stars and go to Job seeker's board the last thing it shows is an ad for a radiology MT from towards the beginning of November.  Then if I go into forums and then job seeker's it shows the last job posting as 11/30/11.  I was just curious if that is right and pickings are just that slim or if there might be a problem with the site. ...

Lots of ads for help BUT underneath the ads are dislikes.  Does this mean TTS is a bad company and don't work for them.  Kind of sad they keep posting jobs so I wonder if disgruntled ex-employees are disliking their ads and why they keep advertising for help.  Any thoughts on TTS? ...
