Terra Nova - anything about the above company? - Inquiring minds

Posted: Dec 17, 2014

Does anyone know anything about the above company? I can't seem to find any info. They want to see my resume. I was about to send it and my gut feeling told me to back off.

Hmm, my posting code started off with "fku." Maybe I should take that as a sign!

I worked for them for a short time. They are - extremely nice and easy

to get along with. Pay is not great. Account I was on was okay, nothing great. I'm an IC and found a better contract with another company so had to quit. But they were better than most.

I see you were an IC there. Is that all they hire?

Never worked for them, but just went to their website and - looks like they hire employee status. SM

I just googled them and clicked on their careers tab. They have Canadian and US accounts and a variety of platforms.

I worked for them and would not wish them on my - sm

Something unacceptable to one MT may be acceptable to another. Thanks for any insight.

Terra Nova - been there, sm

They will waste a month of your life trying to get themselves together enough to try to hire you, lose files, ask for things to be resubmitted over and over. A month I can never get back and might have found a good job.

Hi: I am hoping that a Terra Nova MT sees this note and can help me out. I am on a very busy account, but tonight I have only gotten 1 job, and I hope someone answers this so I am not so upset. This account has never, ever run out of work, and it makes me concerned. Maybe it is just the season? Thanks:) ...

Is anybody else on MT Stars employed by Terra Nova transcription out of Canada? I have worked for them for a little over a year and am wondering what others are thinking about the drastic changes taking place. Maybe it is just my account, I don;t know, but am interested in what others may be seeing and thinking. It just comes out of the blue with no discussion or information at all. ...

up and I'd be back at square one, making no more than their "maximums." I wonder, are this new maximum pay going to stay the same (or lower)? I mean, in 5 or 10 years (if we are still here) will it be the same? Or less? I think so. ...

We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask. There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists. I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference. I am asking for real answers, ones that ar ...

one to stay away from. Integrity. They test you, claim they are checking your references and then when you email asking if they got hold of the references, crickets. Not a word from them. This has been a few weeks, too. If they are this rude just during the recruiting process, I hate to think what working for them would be like. ...

Has anyone heard of a company called MDOfficeManager?

I have heard there are fake websites for job applications. Thanks. ...

I have over 30 years in this field and it seems that a lot of companies are either cutting the MT's pay to edit on ASR and/or are offshoring work out to India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc. I don't believe in sending our jobs overseas, and I've also given ASR at whirl (a long whirl lol) and I still couldn't increase my lines per hour to compensate for the cut in pay that I had to take by doing ASR. So what I'm looking for is a company that does not do ASR, do ...

I will begin my job search in a few short months after graduating from M-Tec. Reading the company board has been an experience with all the negativity, but everyone has different experiences with a company and entitled to their opinion. My question is what do people look for in a company in the current market? How do you know if a company is a good fit for you? What would you consider a "red-flag" that would make you turn away from a company? No this isn't a school assignment or anything ...

The company I work for hired me as full time 1000 lines with benefits. 3 months later they changed their policies to 1200 lines anything under no benefits. Also we can not work over 40 hours. How can they pay me by line but then tell me how many hours I can work? I don't work hourly. I love transcription but I've been with 2 companies in the last year and can't meet all their requirements to get benefits. Is this normal? I used to work fo ...
