STYLE ISSUE... That is what I was trying to say, but couldn't find the words!!!

Wasn't that company, but a large national and a newer QA person. 

with our job paying us for NO holidays, use PTO earned for sick, holiday pay, and everything else that may come at us in life!  You better believe those inhouse clerks, etc./sups, leads, execs and on and on get their GIFT and a hefty one at that.  Why are we at-home supposed to be satisfied with nothing, but a low-paying job, low work most of the time, requests from company to flex and flex for THEM, but no flexing when the MT needs off.

Yes, I am thankful for a job, and that is exactly what it is . . . . a job (almost).  That is if you consider NO paid HOLIDAYS like all other types of companies give.  Yes, these are hard times, but these hard times are hitting the MT harder and harder each and every year!  It does not affect the office support staff, etc., etc., etc.  They are paid for holidays and whether there is work for the MT or not.  We are piecemeal workers only (similar to sweat shop workers).  Yes, I am thankful that I have a paycheck coming home, BUT I have to WORK VERY HARD for every penny that comes home to me in the form of a paycheck -- without any paid breaks or holidays.  The office staff are the lucky ones -- everything paid for them!

work for everybody. You might say you want ONLY XX minutes a day but what happens if a doc decides to get caught on his backlog? Or another MT wants off for the day because her daughter has a fever? Or another MT just has to take off a few hours to run her dad to the doctor's office? And then another account realizes it's almost the end of the month and they need to get all their reports in? Or if there is a chlorine spill at the edge of town and the ER account gets swamped? It is impossible as an MTSO to keep the work at an even keel. If you hire people just for overflow, then some days it's too slow. So your overflow person quits. Or it gets slow because it's February and everyone is avoiding deductibles and your MT's are b****ing about not enough work. Then August hits and work comp pours in along with weekend warriors, then the MT's are screaming that they are overloaded. There has to be a certain amount of flexibility in the MT's end or it just won't work. MT work is like LIFE, it comes at you in waves.

Do you know if Amphion is hiring for radiology now?  I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful.  Anyone know their toll-free number? 

Do you know how they pay for radiology -- by the character, line, or report?  Range of pay? 

Amphion uses this for their platform!

Can anyone tell me anything about Amphion (good, bad or indifferent)?  Do they have health benefits?  How is the platform?  How flexible are they?  Do they have an incentive/bonus structure? 

Thanks for opinions.

Can someone tell me how Amphion distributes work?  Do you have to pick up one job at a time, or do they dump work to your computer?  TIA.

I rarely come to this board and just to take a peek at what is going on every once in a blue moon because I have other things that are far more important.  However, I also work for Amphion and have been extremely happy with the way I'm treated by my supervisor, manager and on up the ladder.  When you are low on work, it is partly your responsibility to ask your supervisor for a backup account instead of whining on these boards.  Amphion and other transcription companies are vendors.  Some accounts are solely done by the vendor and other accounts get the back log from hospitals, clinics, etc.  The supervisors are always available to answer questions (though some days are definitely worse than others if there are many emails to go through from everyone or phone calls from the accounts).  I always get my questions answered in a very timely fashion if not by day's end for sure.

We all have our gripes about the place we work from time to time, but let me ask you this.... Have you ever taken part of the blame yourself?   Do you call in sick all the time or change your schedule so your supervisor (at Amphion or elsewhere) can't count on you to do the work per the contract they signed?  We all have a life outside of work and should be very glad to work at home, but the outside stuff has to wait if you set a schedule and give that to your supervisor.  If we went to an office during the day, everything would have to wait.  Businesses are in business to make money, and hire us to help them make that money.  Maybe Amphion hire because of the certain few MTs out there refuse to work a set schedule that MT gave the supervisor when they signed on and need coverage.  I have never had Amphion tell me what hours to work.  I gave them hours that fit my life and it works.  Communication is key especially if we are all over the US.

I have worked for other services, and I can tell you, Amphion far and away blows all of them out of the water.  Some may not agree, but I do know others that do agree with me.  It's called give and take, not take, take, take by the MT and give nothing in return.  Others that have never worked for Amphion do not know the ins and outs so have no reason to gripe at all on these boards about Amphion.  I work my hours/lines, get paid on time, work extra when asked, get questions answered in a timely fashion and know that I am doing my best.  I also know they are doing the best they can for their MTs and can hardly wait to see more and more positives down the road.   Those that do gripe on these boards and do work or have worked for Amphion are blaming the company and not looking at themselves for part of the blame.  If something doesn't feel right about the account you are on, low on work, etc., contact your supervisor instead of stewing about it and then blasting them on these boards.  That is not fair to you or the company.
