Transcend-Seems to be a lot of negative out there recently. So tell me..... - NewMT

Posted: Jun 19, 2011

Is there anyone out there that does like their job with Transcend and can you tell me why? i.e. flexibility, good account, decent money/benefits etc. Thanks.

I like most of my accounts, my flexibility, my benefits are decent, pay is not the worst, and tech support is great. I am unhappy with the poor quality of VR that we frequently deal with (which definitely lowers the pay), lack of communication, inability to change regions/accounts, and high cost of insurance.

I like working at Transcend, and, no, I'm not a suit. -sm - AnotherTranscendMT

I came to Transcend from one of the mergers, so I think the fact that most of my previous leadership remains intact is a factor in my contentment here. My summarization of my experience is that no job is perfect, but in this present economy and with the changes that have impacted our industry, all things considered, I'm happy. I gather though that what region an MLS is in impacts their employment experience here.

I have a great ROM and a wonderful TL. As long as the account stays in TAT, the STAT's are covered, and I meet my production commitment they couldn't be more flexible. For the most part, I'm happy with my accounts, although I wish the ESL percentage was lower. Platform is simple and conducive to productivity. For this economy, the cost of my benefits on an individual plan is reasonable. Do I wish that my line pay was higher for the skill level of the accounts that I staff? Most certainly, but for the industry my CPL is at the higher tier of the pay scale. Communication is excellent. Tech support is above average. Know that I'm still on straight typing accounts, so my level of satisfaction may diminish when I'm transitioned to editing. QA is respectful and constructive. I'm treated like a professional and conduct myself accordingly. Pay is always correct and on time.

This is just my experience. Depending on who you ask and what region they're working in, mileage may vary. Overall, for people who desire to remain in this field I would recommend Transcend as one of their primary options for a professional work experience.

same for me - sm

I agree with all of the poster above. There are some aggravations, as with any job. But all-in-all, with the state of the industry, the state of the economy, etc, I think Transcend is the best of the bunch. There are no doubt some great smaller companies, but how long will they be viable?

ditto for me - CardioMT

I am part-time, working in a great region, plenty of work, ROM and TL are great... this is not a perfect world, but Transcend seems perfect for my needs. I don't know anything about the benefits.... this is the second region I have been in in 4 years (first one hospital changed contract and would have been lack of work so ROM found me a region with plenty of work)and both were simply great... hope this helps.

It's great depending on ROM and how much ESL is on your account - mt

they are pretty flexible. If you do VR (as most are), pray you get one that does not have too much ESL, or you will find yourself struggling to meet their income requirements to stay employed. It's super difficult to move regions as well. It seems lately the VR is doing a worse job than normal in formatting, figuring out what the dictator is saying, etc, and that is even for American doctors. But I feel that Transcend is probably the best out there. And I never run out of work.

well, it seems the talk of lawsuit really silenced a few responders - hmmm

I don't work for the company, so I have nothing invested to speak of, but it is interesting to note the absence of Transcend naysayers on this particular post. So, looks like the strong arm presence in the MT online posting community is beginning to pay off for Transcend.

The OP asked who liked their job and why, so people responded to that question. - Just My 4 Cents

I was being honest, and I just gave my notice - mt

Unfortunately, what they want I cannot give in terms of the dollar amount per pay period, but that is because of some personal issues that have come up. otherwise, after seeing posts about all the other companies out there, I'm pretty sure Transcend is the best out of all of them. That does not mean they are ridiculously awesome and everyone would be lucky to work for them, just that out of all the MTSOs, I'm pretty convinced they are the best.

I like it for all the reasons you listed - Fatigued Fingers

Been there about 14 months now. I like both my accounts and I have no problems with mgt.

I am trying to narrow down some companies to work for and have a job offer on the table from Transcend. Some of the posts on here and on glassdoor are negative, but are from early 2010 or older.

Just wondering how the NJA problem is since 60 of us have moved on. We've had 2 new ILP accounts to QA (which are horrible) and 1 group hospitals that have come back from ILP land, but only recieved a small handful of MTs to compensate. My BOB has been swamped for the past week with late jobs every night. My TSM says that her manager said that there isn't anybody who can help out. I was just wondering if he/she is just too lazy to actually look. I know the ...

Volumes have skyrocketed in the accounts on my team, and while my manager is spewing off that it's just abnormally high volumes, I think it's because people have jumped ship. I was wondering if those of you who quit and still visit this board could comment with your ex-TSM's initials. ...

I have recently started on ChartNet. I read reviews, which are mostly positive, and my question is why?

Does anyone have advice/tips on how to make this more user-friendly? Plus I lose reports and have no idea where they go or how to get them back, so I am losing line count as well. I was happy to read all those positive ...

I thought I did pretty good on the test considering I had no foot pedal and no editing function keys but guess not. Does anybody pass that test? They couldn't tell me what was wrong, almost tempted to call them. Also, need other ideas on where to apply. Any help is appreciated. I've got 30+ years ex ...
