or nights. They're a great company, and I hear they're hiring.

Medware's IT dept. obviously doesn't work weekends.No lines count for 2 days. nm
not surprised
Where did I make people that work weekends
feel they are not being Christian or family-oriented? I certainly did not make those direct statements. Please correct me if I am wrong, but where did I post that or what did I say to make you feel that way? That was not my intention. and remember anyone can post as OP. Many of these comments that say OP are not mine. Just clarifying.
I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
This doesn't make sense to me either. Scan is advertising for MTs but there is no work?
What's up with company who constantly overhire when they can't even keep their current employees happy. I certainly won't be applying there.
Amphion- no weekends?
I'd like to hear from someone who currently works for Amphion . I recently completed testing with them. How is the scheduling done...is it really Monday thru Friday?
What is the cost of single coverage insurance? What company is the medical coverage with? How is the work flow? How long did it take for you to receive equipment after being hired?
Amphion no weekends
What type of accounts do you type? I'm sure for acute care or ER accts you would have to work weekends..just inquiring because Amphion is one company I am seriously checking out at the moment to switch to. Thanks.
Amphion does not have nights or weekends
People do complain about data entry which they are not paid for but that is for basic 4.
You could ask if they have radiology or clinic which maybe a different setup. They do use Dictaphone Extext.
You don't have to work nights or weekends unless you want to.
My MT job doesn't require holidays or weekends
So I feel incredibly lucky. Not all MT's have to or want to work holidays. It's just a matter of finding the right match.
Amphion doesn't.

Amphion doesn't run out and if they do, you get paid!!! nm

If they quit then Amphion doesn't have to pay
increased unemployment taxes.
Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
just because they do it, doesn't make it RIGHT!

Does make one wonder, doesn't it? nm
Doesn't make it right. sm
we used to conquer countries with guns, now it's creative corporate structuring.
now that doesn't make sense
because why would they offer you an incentive to type more if they didn't want you to? I doubt they would rather you work less, but your scheduled is your minimum and any OT has to be approved, that's what it reads like.
That doesn't make any sense
you don't transcribe the files in Word, you do it right there on the mttest screen. Are you sure you are talking about the same thing?
Doesn't make sense sm
The ad was revised. When I first saw it, it said 18 cpl work at home, 3 year exp. Couldn't believe what I was reading, so I checked it again and it said 16 cpl, no experience and work at company. HUH?
It doesn't make sense
I can see them asking that you not try to get your own accounts, which could possibly be trying to get some of their accounts, but to ask that you not work for another MT service. That is a little strange if you ask me. It is your profession. When I left a small MT service, I was only asked not to go after any of their accounts in their competition clause.
Doesn't make sense
if the MT is willing to accept the rates.
I am an IC in California. Applied for a job that was employee status that needed my particular experience. No reply! And they're still posting!!
You may have the answer but it still doesn't make sense.
Decided anyway that I like the flexibility of IC anyway so found a great company.
Reading it here doesn't make it so.
It is still the largest MTSO in the world and by a significant degree, too.
They've been offshoring work for quite a while and have not hidden that fact from anyone.
Obviously, many are happy there or they wouldn't stay.
It's not for everyone. Then again, the same can be said about all companies.
This doesn't make any sense
I don't work for SoftScript, but if you're going to have somebody posting a question and getting negative responses, it seems only fair that they would want to defend their company--I know I would. Also, why is it the majority of the people posting all of these negative comments never even made it into the door and actually worked for them? I believe the poster wanted to hear from people who actually work(ed) there. You had a bad recruiting experience, not a bad work experience.
This isn't to bash anybody. I'm just trying to figure out where all of the CURRENT SoftScript employees are to respond to this post, including people who were actually employed there long enough to let all of the job hunters know how the work load is, etc.
7 cpl doesn't make sense.
I got offered 8.5 cpl on acute care last year with only 3 years experience. I can't understand why they would be offering 7 cpl unless it is for an easy account (i.e. low ESL, thus able to get more done in shorter period of time). Don't forget to factor in benefits (cheaper than most), 10 days of PTO (after the first year), and the incentive bonuses that start at just 5501 lines per week (don't know of many who offer bonuses at that little of lines). If you work full time, they ask for 5500 lines a week, so get 1 extra line a week, and you are already making your base rate plus an extra 0.0025 cpl. That adds up quick.
That doesn't even make sense. nm
Offshore doesn't make any more sense than
The work is being outsourced offshore or is referring to offshore outsourcing. If you're going to be picky about the term, at least be picky about the correct terms.
That statement doesn't make any sense at all
x
I hope DSG doesn't make the change

This whole thing doesn't make sense.
It seems someone is confused or doesn't know what they are talking about. If you have to make $900 to be considered full time, how much is that a line? Are the hours flexible or do you have set schedules? Are you required to work a 40-hour week or is it completely by lines?
and offering a bonus. Doesn't make sense that there
isn't work for current MTs. Unfortunately there are lots of companies that overhire.
Doesn't seem a valid point to me. Most people can make 250 lph sm
so why not do it making 8-9 cpl (or more) and make $24-27 per hour? I don't think $15/hour is much nowadays, but that is just my opinion. I made that 10 years ago in an office setting -- hate to think of going backwards, although I do reailze that is the trend in transcription nowadays, sad to say.
I just hope he/she (and everyone) finds something that pays more than that, especially for IC work. 
Question - doesn't that make your 8-hr days a lot longer? (nm)

I know.. she's pretty ridiculous and doesn't make much sense
You don't want to steal their expansion program, right? You just want the expansions that YOU thought up and that YOU put in. Not a problem in my eyes. Just figure out where the file is, copy it on to a disk or a little flash drive or something.
You're right...that post doesn't make any sense...sm
How could high producers mess things up for the rest of us, when, in the past few weeks, we were offered incentives on most of the accounts to keep them in TAT by working extra?? And how could a responsible member of management even state something to that effect? The only logical conclusion is that this particular poster wants to discourage high production (on his-/her OWN accord) in other MTs to keep the pickings greener for him-/herself.
I made that working for a national...O/T, weekends...no live, now no O/T or weekends(sm)
so no more big bucks, at least from them...looking for second job to make ends meet, don't have husband to help...this sucks.
your post doesn't make much sense. Find another job then? That's what the rest of us do!
A typo does not make it unprofessional. Perfect doesn't exist.
We all do our best, but typos will happen from time to time. Won't matter tomorrow and certainly won't matter next year.
Some may want to work weekends. A lot don't.
for that rate of compensation. There was a time 10 cpl was average to below-average rate working Monday through Friday. Then it started changing to working at least one weekend day to make that kind of rate. Now it's the whole weekend, EVERY weekend on nothing but ESLs just to make that kind of rate. I'm not the OP, but I think that might be part of the complaint when s/he says it's a bit rigorous and might be time to leave.
I do ER and don't work weekends. nm
I do ER and only work weekends (PT)
:)
Do you have to work weekends?
nm
Well okay, so you don't work weekends and
I was saying we don't get paid what doctors get paid.
Me too except I do not have to work any weekends. nm
 nm
That's the only way I'd work there, no weekends.

Yes. I work weekends.
xx
Don't think there was one. And they really wanted you to NOT work the weekends, too, unless you
s
Great if you like to work weekends
with no chance of getting time off - seems once you are in a schedule that is where they keep you.
let the people who want to work weekends do it
Some people want those shifts but i do not
??? some people do work weekends and some don't
why so rude and grouchy?
I always had to work two weekends a month. nm

I was hoping to work with them on the weekends. I
tested the other day and went onto the second part and hoped to hear. But have not heard a word. Kind of disappointed. Have heard really nice things about this company and they said I'd hear Monday. Guess I did not do as well as I had expected on the typing test. Good luck if you try and get it.
Believe me, you'll work weekends so don't
go bragging just yet. Chances are M-F will find you running out of work.
