The pay was HORRIBLE. It starts at minimum wage and it is VERY difficult to meet the productivity standards to increase to higher pay. The company makes all types of claims on increased pay, but only a very select few reach those increased pay scales. Management is generally hands-off, but a LOT of pressure is put on "scribes" to increase their "X Factor" to a rate of 2 minutes (or better) per minute of audio. All in all, I worked for this company for over 4 months and never got to the golden grail and therefore never made over minimum wage. Considering I type over 80wpm, and always had EXCELLENT quality (i.e., little to no errors in grammar or formatting), that is very telling on how difficult it is for most people to make decent pay working for Copytalk.
