Me too, just hired on, and already the account I am on had very little work over the weekend.
Hope this is just a fluke and its not like this daily.
I think it depends on experience, account hired for, etc. I was hired at .08 per line sm
but after 90 days went to 0.085 and then 0.09 about 90 days after that. I am now at 0.0925 and have been there a year. I have to point out that the line rate might not be the highest but I can verify my counts, have plenty of work, get paid on time and have a great manager. To me, leaving a bad national and the headaches that went with it was well worth the cut in pay I took. Funny thing is that I took a pretty sizable pay cut but make more money ?!?!
Just hired by FutureNet any info would be appreciated. Thanks. nm

Anyone started FutureNet new account

that was supposed to be huge coming on board in July?  How do you like it and FutureNet as a whole?  Would appreciate if any recent hires could tell me how long it took to hear back after applying.  Openings are probably all filled by now but just wondering if it took a while to hear back and if they require testing.  TIA!


Futurenet's big account says it starts the 28th of July. (sm)
Maybe they have people training on a not so great account until the big one comes live. Who knows, this account may be a terrific one. JMO
I just got hired for that account. SM

They are hiring 100 MTs for it.  My training date is still open as I just told her I would be available after a certain date.  They are hiring people beforehand to let them get used to their platform, then will transition them to the new account when it comes mid July.  The account is 1000+ beds. 


Were you recently hired for a new account? If so (sm)
wouldn't it be easier for you to ask them at the office if the acct has started, if not when, if it has, ask for a backup.  Coming here and complaining does no good.
yes, but you get hired on a specific account (nm)

depends on what account you are hired for..

depends on what account you are hired in for...
I am on an account that is determined by TAT, not set hours.
When I hired on they stated the account was listed as 30-35% ESL (sm)
but they thought the percentage might be a litte higher. I have had quite a few ESL, probably closer to 45-50%, but only one was what I considered really horrible and when I went back, QA had left some blanks too, so I didn't feel too bad.

Have been doing this for 20+ years and I still say I would rather have an ESL anyday compared to a mushmouthed speed demon.

So far everything about them and the account I am on has held true to what they said. Very nice people, good sound quality and the program is easy to work on.


I applied, was called and hired for the account I was on at QT. nm
no msg
WebmedX got the account. I was hired by them today for

the account.   I was also told by another company that they had bid on the account themselves and were told by the account that they were not going to renew with QT.  This was SEVERAL months ago.   Some people have been called about another account that was lost in addition to the big one. 


Would it be worth discussing this with them before being hired that you want to train on the account
you will be working on and wont stay if you get put on accounts noone else wants. Would that make a difference to be upfront and tell them that.
Depends on the account for which you are hired, my accounts are low occasionally but usually with a
couple of backup accounts and doing all work types, you can do fine. 
Futurenet work
... don't know if this may be one thing that may be impacting Futurenet's volume, but I went for an interview with a company who contracts with Futurenet, and they are bringing their work back inhouse from Futurenet. I believe I heard that company will just license Futurenet's platform, but bring the transcription back inhouse.
FutureNet Low on Work
I also am very, very low on work with FutureNet and wonder if my main account is one that is phasing out FNTC.  I know you cannot name the account but could you tell the city and state they are in????
Futurenet...where did the work go? sm
Anyone have any idea why the counts are so low at Futurenet this week? I haven't been able to get a single job since the weekend!!!
Is there work at FutureNet? sm
Earlier this year archives shows comments that work was low at FutureNet, I am wondering if that has changed (before I apply!)....anybody know?
FutureNet is still low on work...
I don't understand why these companies hire more people than they have work for.  Seems to me that they lose a lot of good people that way.  I've been with them under three months and I'm going to begin looking elsewhere.  They put me on three accounts that chronically run out of work, yet they're begging for help on other accounts!  What's wrong with them???
Futurenet work
No in my opinion not a lot of work anymore and later in the day and at night only.  Also what they didn't say when they hired people (at least not me) is that it would be going to voice recognition in a month.
FUTURENET is the BEST place to work!
For real, FutureNet Technologies is the best place out there to work!  I have tried two other places over the internet, and BY FAR, FutureNet is the best!  They have a lot of work.  Their pay is ALWAYS on time, EVERY TIME.  They have production bonuses, easy format (VERY EASY) and they do not ask for IM, so that means they are not bugging you all day.  They email you, or every now and then call you, when something is needed...and they send counts all throughout the day to let you know how much work is in the system.  The people are GREAT, easy to get along with and very nice.  They may be doing some hiring.  If so, RUN to them!  They are the absolute BEST!
Futurenet- Anyone know anything about this company, would they allow you to work for MQ also? nm

How are things going with Futurenet? Is there still no work> sm

Futurenet work has slowed down majorly.  Has anyone else's picked back up yet?  I thought we had new accounts coming on?  If so, are they are going to hire some people?  Does anyone know what we can expect?


Have any of you noticed that Futurenet has an ad for MTs right now? And I have been without work fo

I was looking for some part-time work because my main job has had NO work hardly at all, not even to make $150 every two weeks and come to find out FUTURENET has an ad for transcriptionists!  What is going on with that?  How can they be hiring when there is no work now?  Maybe that is the problem - they are overhiring so much.  This is ridiculous!  I am outta here.  I have waited and waited and waited and waited for some work to come in - nada!  Anyone else having the same problem with them?  I am a very loyal, well-seasoned Transcriptionist and I have been giving them the benefit of the doubt, waiting for some work while me and my family are almost, literally, starving because of it.  I feel like I have been robbed!


I know FutureNet running low on work but. (sm)

their ad says new accounts coming on in January, perhaps they were hiring on in anticipation so they were all trained.


Anyway, I am planning on applying and wanted to ask a couple of questions. 


1. How long does it take for them to get back with you once you apply?


2.  What kind of platform do they use?


3.  Are they pretty easy with scheduling?  Are you required to work a full weekend day each week? 


4.  If you don't have work during your scheduled time, do they require you to make up the time/lines? 


 


I know some of these have been asked/answered in the past, looking for truly recent info from current employees if possible. 

TIA


FutureNet lack of work
How about lately? Anyone else notice the lack of work and the hiring of new MT's?  Also they do not treat their regulars with respect. 
I am! FutureNet provides the MTs they want with plenty of work
dd
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account

What is so hard to understand about that? 


Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account.  Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on.  Sounds like business to me. 


FutureNet is a Calif. tranny service, www.futurenet-tech.com ...nm

I make 10 with FutureNet, tons of work...NM

Many old YOGgers at FutureNet, but the work isn't steady. sm
When I was at MQ, they lost many YOG accounts, but I haven't been there in a couple of years, so I can't really speak to that.
anyone get hired/work with TRX?
I had an interview with them last week, she said she'd get back to me with her decision, but never did.  Wondering what its like to work there if they are so unprofessional as to not call back when they promise. 
Just Hired - No Work!
Wouldn't jump ship and head to Webmedx.  Been there 1 month and already out of work.  Good thing I haven't quit my other part-time position! 
I was hired by them but there is no work
nm
Does anyone know if Futurenet hires part time weekend work? (nm)

My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

Hired over a month ago.... no work yet
Hired and then a month later trained and then weeks later NOTHIng.  wHAT THE HECK IS going on????  i'm losing my mind here.
Was hired to work for them, but we never coordinated.
I was looking forward to it as they seem very nice and very up to date.
Yes they do on everyone, just hired, work for them, not hospital.(nm)

Huh? I work M-F. Asked for it when I hired in 1 yr ago. nm

QA is not hired to finish MT's work
It's for going over for quality, not finishing what an inept MT doesn't want to do. The MT is supposed to look things up and try to put out a perfect product. The line rate for QA is very low. The problem is that everyone wants to work from home, whether or not they are qualified.
I am wondering if employees with Futurenet have a hard time having adequate work flow..sm
Just started there not too long ago, but now finding out I am running out of work frequently.  I have several accounts that I can work on, but all are empty most of the time.  Have they overhired or is this the normal?
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm
d
They are well aware there is no work and that they have over hired..they don't care....sm
as long as backlog is 0 they are happy.  Good luck to you.  I guess one more person couldn't make it any worse than it already is, but I hope you don't have a family to feed. 
I was hired recently & they did not have enough work to train me.
I had never heard of such a thing before.
When I was hired, they asked me what work types I liked from sm
best to worst. I have progress notes last. I hate them but get a few every day-type them anyway. Wish I got more op notes but H&Ps and consults keep me real busy.
New people hired are last to receive work.
&*&
I wanted to work for Keystrokes but she hired me a month ago
and then never followed through. I think that they are a great company, at least the friends I have that work there think so, but it seems that hiring is their weak spot. I should apply for that. I am organized and would never let someone slip through the cracks. I am going to call their office on Monday to be the squeaky wheel.
I was hired for 3rd shift and was told there was plenty of work
i was given 4 accts and still don't make money - that is all i am saying
Anyone who is hired for one work type only should make less money (IMO)
