Sten-Tel - Can you believe this compensation?

I am looking for a new transcription job and some of them say the use sten tel. How does that work? Is that something I would need to get a long-distance phone plan for or buy something? ...

If anyone is currently an IC with them or was recently, please respond. I'd like to know just how much I'm being screwed! TIA ...

My wife works for Sten Tel as a MT/ME. Her laptop died yesterday. Are there any Sten Tel employees here who can give me some info? We went computer shopping today and everything new is 64 bit. We thought Sten Tel required computers be 32 bit??? Anyone have info on this subject?? Thanks, Jeff Billings, Montana ...

Anyone else not able to log in for the last 6 hours? I'm on the ASP platform and it's been down most of the day. No choice when calling for tech support either which makes me very paranoid. Paychecks are supposed to be sent out tomorrow. ...

Anybody work for Sten-Tel? Tell me the good and the bad. My sister started out there as a newbie and has had trouble getting work. They are hiring now and offering their ICs a bonus for referrals. I have 5 years experience. How is their pay? Is it a lot of VR? Is there enough work? ...

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 ...

i am thinking of applying to Sten-Tel. Does anyone know what their current pay rate is for Tanscription/VR for experienced MTs? Thanks, Mely ...

Anybody having a lack of QA work? ...

Who wants to fight me for this position....5-6 cpl 3rd shift??? Come on...for real? ...

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? ...

They pay 2-3/12 cents per line for VR without spaces!!! OMG! Why bother even testing for them?!?! ...

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. ...

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 ...

I have worked for Sten Tel for many years but have always had a problem getting enough work. I love it there but can never get enough work and was wondering if anyone else who worked for them had the same problem???? ...

I am considering taking a position with Sten-Tel (based in Massachusetts). I want to work full time, but I am wondering if anyone knows if there is consistent work available? Are there days when you aren't able to get any work? Any feedback would be helpful! ...

Does anyone have any information about Sten-Tel or work there? TY! ...

Does anyone work for Sten Tel doing legal transcription? I am starting with them this week and was just wondering if it was a good place to work for? I am an IC and they said I could work as much as I want. Is there always work? Do they give raises of any kind? I am doing my training session with them on Thursday and am just a little nervous. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Anyone currently typing for Sten-Tel in Springfield, MA? ...

Does anyone have recent info on Sten-Tel. How are they to work for? ...

Since I don't live in India, I told her that is not even a living wage for anyone in the USA and good luck finding anyone. Jeez...and when it got down to 6 and 7 I thought that was the all time low! Hope the rest of you will let them know that no one can live on that. You would think 20+ years should account for something! ...

Heard anything, good or bad? Thanks. ...

Sten-Tel has a posting on another board for an orthopedics account: IC position, rates between 5 and 6.5 cpl. It says it's a transcription account. What the heck is going on in this industry?? ...

What a joke! Sten-Tel pays 2-3 cents for VR and 5-6 for transcription? I have been doing this for 25 years and that is simply ridiculous! ...

One company lists compensation as: "$1.06 per dictated minute & up depending on acute experience and operative report experience.." I've always been paid per line and am not familiar at all with this form of compensation.. Does anyone have any experience with this, and does it sounds okay? It's an IC position. Thanks. ...

I wonder if the new compensation is that they are making us all independent contractors. What a hoot that would be.. ...
