What do You Think of TranscriptionVendors.com? Good or Bad

in Transcription
I stumbled across Transcriptionvendors.com today and wanted to know more about working with them.
If you’ve had any experience working with them, please share your experience.
It seems to me like a decent enough place to work on, seeing some reputed transcription companies in their list.
Having said that I have reservations.
First, you have to pay $25 just for the test.
Secondly, to work with them you then pay $250 as regular member and $1,500 as premium member, annually.

Finally, how is it any different from working for another trancription company if you work through them.
Please share your opinion and experiences with working on TranscriptionVendors.com in the comments below. It will be appreciated!
