Among the best aspects of working here I’d say, firstly, is the autonomy. There’re a few days of supervision (unless you’ve zero experience) and then you’re on your own. The accounts vary widely, but for a seasoned MT should be a fairly easy acclimation. As with any transcription job, there’re good ones and bad ones - no two ways about it. That’s just part of the job and expected/understood. My personal favorite aspect was the straight typing (no speech/voice recognition), which makes your proofreading so much easier. I do believe the pay scale could be improved upon, especially for qualified folks. I’d definitely work here again.

Biggest mistake? Expecting commensurate pay with experience. And expecting the promised bonus that never came.

The most stressful days at SoftScript would probably be when transferring to a new account, having to learn the new specifics quickly.

I don’t think anyone ever got angry with me for any reason while working at SoftScript. Except maybe when I had to correct a QA issue that was obviously wrong.
