I work there, I like it just fine, others' mileage varies widely. - Anonymous Transcender

Yes, the workload has been a little iffy lately. Guess what... it's the holidays. I still managed WELL over my quota for the last pay period. It's a little thin on the ground today. Holiday. Doctors don't want to work on a holiday any more than the rest of us, if they can possibly help it.

Please, please don't hesitate to reply to me via e-mail if you have specific questions I can answer.

And no, I am not one of the "suits." I live down here in the trenches.

crankyoldbroadonthebeach, and who knows what else, came in on another account bought up by Transcend. Those accounts might be better. But if you are hired by Transcend, they over hire. There are over 60 people on one account I am on and it is an overflow account. So mileage is not going to vary on that. There won't be enough work for all. You can only blame the holiday for so much.

Depends on what team hires you, and how good your manager is - at allocating the workload.

Obviously, some are better at it than others.

Right now my team is desperately seeking evening/weekend coverage on my primary account, on which there is plenty of work, and we are constantly offered the opportunity to work extra. (My secondary and tertiary accounts always have plenty of work as well.)This may very well be the job the OP has applied for, but I won't know that unless she (I am assuming it's a she, if it's a he, I apologize) contacts me privately.

Why apply in the first place if unsure? - ??

I don't understand why you would go through the trouble of applying for a position only to come on to a board to ask about it. Isn't there such a thing as applying for positions because you want them or is that a thing of the past? I can't imagine applying at WalMart and then saying, "hmmm...I wonder if I really want to work there?" Why would I apply in the first place? If you don't want a company to waste your time, don't waste theirs! No I am not management - just an MT shaking my head at the craziness of other MTs. Here is a suggestion - apply for jobs that you already know you want - geez! Or are you just bored and wanting to talk about a position you've landed hoping to stir up some negative conversation. If you start a position with the thought of doom, you will be doomed. MTs have sure become a negative bunch of whiners. JMO!

Because I currently work for MQ. - mt

same story - just me

There is very little difference in companies now.

Both have insurance and paid leave time for employees.

Both run out of work frequently.

Both have good and bad managers and QA staff.

Both have favorites that get the good accounts and the good work.

Both have so-so to bad platforms to work on.

Both have technical issues with their platforms.

Both pay twice a month.

No raises.

Make sure you are not jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

What is the good, the bad, and the ugly with Diskriter? I am looking for information about pay, benefits, how strict they are when it comes to schedules, management, available work, etc. If you are new there, how was the interview? Was there a lot of rah-rah gibberish about how great they are to reel you in or was it professional and straight to the point?

I got a phone call from them and they emailed me a list of available shifts, what equipment I'd need, platform, but I forgot to ask how much per line I'd be paid.

Before I email her back asking the wages and/or I decide to accept it, I'd like any info anyone might have. I still work at MQ and don't want to leave for something just as bad, before I actua ...

I am currently working for a small service, doing only clinic work. I come from over 20 years of acute care and recently started working here. I have found what I suspected is true, that I am making only a percentage of what I made in acute care. The accounts are fine, the management and QA is totally wonderful, but the 3 and 4 second reports just don't cut it. I applied to Transcend and have read much negativity about them. Just wondering if there is any good in them? I also applie ...

Just wondering if anyone who works for Transcend currently has any good things to say about them. I've seen all the bad posts on the board, so just wondering if there is any good to be said or anyone who works for them who is happy to work there. I know they have the $900/pay period instead of production limit and editing work. I was interviewed by them and I would be getting more pay per line for both typing and editing and compared to my current situation of having no wo ...
