ANP transcriptions is absolutely horrific in the way it handles it's
business and treats it's contractors. Extremely unprofessional when it
comes to handling money disputes or any disputes for that matter as well
as their one sided use of their so called contract.
RED FLAGS for anyone considering working for this company:
1. They will NEVER pay you on time.
They only pay you when they feel like it which leads me to believe
they either just don't have the available income to keep up with it's
contractors or they just dislike paying their contractors...either way
they will tell you anything to keep you from EVER receiving a proper
check on time...ie, an unknown of holiday, lost in the mail, their office dog
ate it ect...By the way they are still about 3 months behind on
everything they owe my wife and we're contemplating our next step which could
very well be legal action if it has to be.
2. Their contract is ONLY there to benefit them.
They DO NOT follow their own contract, BUT, they will flaunt it
regularly against you for a variety of different reasons. They will
sometime make things up and claim that they are in the contract when
they are clearly not. Sometimes it's a little bit of both, meaning they
stretch things or give you inaccurate percentages in hopes that you
really haven't read the contract and will just take their word for
it...My wife called them out on this and after a quite lengthy battle they
did finally agree that she was right but claimed that they have a
different contract as well and thought she had signed that particular
one...The old "oh, you must have signed the OTHER contract" routine.
3. Extremely unprofessional
As briefly as possible, when you work for a normal and upstanding
company, as my wife does as this was a side job for a little extra
money, disputes are handled in a way that when all is said and done both
party's can express themselves and come to a conclusion. Larry on the
other hand has a very short fuse when it comes to a contractors
unhappiness with not being paid on time, he doesn't seem to understand
the whole concept of people working for a paycheck and is incapable of
handling these issues in a way that slightly resembles an adult doing
business.
Bottom line is Larry likes to fight and when Larry fights Larry fights
dirty. Your money that he owes you is not safe in a fight with Larry.
My wife has also dealt with Al, he's not as outspoken as Larry and maybe a bit
more educated but he's equally as unethical. He's appears to be also of
the belief that the people doing the work don't really want the money
and that his contractors should be happy with receiving their checks
weeks or months after they were supposed to get them.
I haven't completely looked past the idea that this behavior may be
deliberate in an attempt to further delay paying the contractor...either
way it's an unacceptable way to treat another human being.
I could go on for pages but to sum it up this company is covered in red
flags, they are most definitely a rip-off and if you or a friend is now
or ever considering working for ANP transcriptions do yourself a favor
and find something else, you'll be glad you did.
