I briefly worked for them but their pay was always extremely late and always short. You have to work for them at least 6 weeks before you will ever see a check and then it was another 10 days late. The have severe lack of communications. I have received several responses on another post about them regarding not getting paid. I still have not gotten my last 2 checks since I stopped working and have sent numerous emails and no response. I would beware. They obviously have a high turnover rate since I always see their ads on the job board.

Have to agree with Fedup - nn

I worked for them VERY briefly. "D" (not sure if she is still there), seemed to be the "company cheerleader." I too, thought the whole 6 weeks of no pay was ridiculous -- that tells me that as an MTSO, the "owner" is basically living on the edge, as most of us are. I spoke with the owner one time directly and she yelled and screamed at me when I asked her why OTHER companies, either as an employee or IC could pay their employees within "an alloted timeframe;" i.e., you start in the middle of the pay period, not a BIG check, but you will still get paid either DD OR papercheck (depending on how DD is set up). I am a single person -- I don't have a "second income" to rely on and when bills are due, they are DUE. Right now, I have been without work since February -- I did get hired by a company today but it's still a struggle. I filed for unemployment, but had to file an appeal for that -- basically, I have been living on VERY little since the end of February and these MTSOs that do not have the "backing capital" to pay their employees in a timely fashion need to be put out of business. I filed for UC because as an employee of a company, all of a sudden, no work, and sitting at a computer, for my "shift -- which was more like 12-14 hour days rather than 8" with no work. This company recently advertised -- hired for an account that was "coming on board" in a month and took work from the MTs who were ESTABLISHED on the account. Many of these companies now, when they do a contract, require RIDICULOUS TAT -- last company that I worked at, I had just started a DS -- I get an IM stating they needed that report in 30 minutes -- EXCUSE me? Looking and researching, etc. I had the report to them in 35-40 minutes -- these are people who do NOT do MT and have no clue what it is all about.

Put MTSO on non payment list.

I think you might have read the post wrong - nn

It's not that the MTSO does NOT pay -- its the fact that with this particular MTSO, the MT has to wait SIX weeks to get their first check -- most companies do not operate that way, as I stated in my original post. If you start working for a company in the middle of their pay period, you will usually get a check at the end of that pay period either by DD or snail mail -- not six weeks later. This is where this particular MTSO is taking advantage of her MTs and likely does NOT have the backup capital to make payroll, so has to wait until she gets paid by HER clients to pay her employees.

I have a friend that would like to get into doing transcription so she can stay home with her kids. She's done transcription before, but never medical. I've done some research for her, but it's hard to tell which companies are legit or not. Does anyone know of any companies that have corporate transcription and pay decently, other than Ubiqus, which isn't hiring right now? Thanks for your help! ...

To the poster who posted below looking for information on TTD. They don't have their own accounts. They work for Superior Global and maybe others. Superior pays them to find ICs. They probably pay them 4 cpl and then TTD pays you a cruddy 3 cpl to edit VR reports. They don't offer direct deposit because Superior is paying them and then they pay you, which is why you have to wait a month for your check. I would never work for a company that is just bascially an agency hir ...

I accidentally posted this on the main board too so sorry for the repeat post. I saw a post here that TTD was a bad company to work for. I recently graduated form CS and I have been looking for a job for the past 2 weeks. TTD offered me a job without doing any testing and I thought that was odd. I really want to gain experience since but I don't want to work for a horrible place. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...

I have gone through the past several months and I saw one post about The Transcription Doctors being a bad company to work for. I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience or if they are all still bad comments. I just recently graduated from CS and I have been looking for jobs for a while. I was offered the job at TTD without doing any testing and I just thought it was odd. I just want to gain experience but Im nervous to work there after what I have read.

My recommendation is to have any MT who feels her time is valuable to Stay very far away from this company. I am going to be very careful in how I word this. Company did not pay me correctly. Our line counts did not match. Experienced problems with line count accuracy early in employment. Kept accurate records of line counts (their counts and my counts). Was only paid 1/10th of first invoice. Inquired about issue several times, and only when I sent an email to ...

I recently applied with Transcription Doctors and almost immediately recieved a "new hire packet."

Thanks so much! ...

Does anyone have any info on Transcription Doctors or TTD, Inc. I sent a resume and received a ton of new hire paperwork, but no description about the job or even a phone call, just watch a video and start working. I see they have tons of job postings so I am weary there will be enough work or if there is work actually. There are a lot of red flags so I thought I would check before I spent the effort. Thanks. ...

I started working for them over 6 weeks ago and have NOT gotten paid YET. I know there has been discussion that that happens but we're going on almost 2 months now and nothing. I've emailed and gotten no response, yet still get the emails about "A... backlog still critical!" and so on. I'm only working for them until I find something else MUCH MUCH better (and that pays!!). Unfortunately, I did not read anything about their questionable payment methods befo ...

They have an ad on this site hiring at 8 cents and 3 cents for straight typing and editing. But, on another site, they have an ad for the same exact thing but the pay is 7 cents for straight typing and 2.5 cents for editing! Are you kidding?!?!?!?! I hope no one applies for that job, even if you are desperate! So glad I am getting out of this line of slave work. ...
