My experience with them mirrors many others on this board...

Little to no work for little to no pay. Check the archives, and you will see I'm not the only one... There was another thread about this not long ago. Perhaps the others will get on here and chime in as well.

Sten-Tel - odd

They hired me. Before I started, they informed me they did not have enough work to bring me on.

They contacted me a second time and asked if I still wanted the position. When I emailed back, they said, whoops, won't know for another week.

Still haven't heard from them, but definitely not waiting. That is too precarious for me.

That is so crazy to be hiring without enough work to go around (nm) - MyT_WannyMT

No one makes it a habit to over hire and sometimes, things change with any client. Sometimes, it is a personal choice to not learn something new or not be able to work the times when work is available. We absolutely work hard and respect all of our employees and ICs.

Have worked for Sten-Tel for almost 2 years. Plenty of work, easy platform, pay checks on time. No complaints except, like all, more pay would be great! :)

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 ...

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? ...

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 ...

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! ...
