Are you required to do weekends? sm
Do they have insurance or are they IC? What are their line requirements?
No, weekends required, though I know they are looking for people who would want to.

Deventure: Are you required to do weekends
and holidays? Thinking of applying but want to get as much info as possible before I do.
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.
Shapin.
They don't know the answers to their own test. No telling what goes on there.

I've definitely given up on them. I sent them two emails telling them I couldn't find their test on their site and both times I got an automated message back that said please go to the web site and take our test.

This is a very laid back company. You can work FT/PT your choice. No min on line counts. There is only one ESL doc and he is a temporary. TAT is 24 hours, up to 48 on back log. If you need more info email me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com

Hi there,
I do lead QA for Shapin. Feel free to email me with any questions. MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin?

Must have been Shapin, right?

I am also a new Editor with Shapin. It seems as though the editors that are no longer here had the company pretty messed up. I am thankful for Laurie giving me the opportunity and mentoring to become a good editor. If there any more good editors out there that are looking for an awesome company to work for, extremely freindly and helpful, apply. We need good editors not crybaby wanna be's.
another ex-Shapin IC
Again, another ex-Shapin employee without a name. If you feel that you were a good employee why are you afraid to post your name? Not surprising I guess. I also am curious as to what you mean by They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. I can tell everyone the facts. Fact number one: People who do their jobs and don't steal from companies KEEP THEIR JOBS. Fact two: Disgruntled ex-employees always yell Foul the loudest because they do not learn from their mistakes, they just go onto the next company and mess that company up too.
I just wish for once, someone would give everyone specifics instead of just generalized comments like unprofessional and lies. And while you are at it, please answer this question....How can you live with yourself knowing that you were stealing from a company by not even doing the job you were paid to do?

Hello,
Is there anyone who works for Shapin that could give me some insight as to good or bad? A got a response to a resum I sent and would like some information on how they are to work for before answering.
TIA
Shapin
I applied for the editing position so not sure on the amount for the transcription side.

I worked for Shapin for about four months. Don't do it!!! The work load is really bad - hardly any work at all, very low line count, and the pay is miserable. Check into Professional Transcriptions, Inc out of Pensacola, Florida. That's who I work for now and the work load is consistent and the pay is great!
Shapin
Does anyone know if Shapin Medical Transcription still exists?
Stay away from Shapin....
extremely low pay, very disorganized, offshores to India.
re stay away from shapin
low, low pay, poor management.
Please clarify-Shapin (or someone associated with them) said
My goodness, and you jumped at it or away from it? Plenty of companies without outsourced dictation out there with benefits where an experienced, good MT can make that in half that amount of time. With a company representative admitting they offer low pay, why would I elect to work for Shapin. I'm smart enough to know how things work and can multitask more than one company to optimize my income and benefit potential.
Tisk, tisk.
Never worked for Shapin, never will
I can't be accused of being a bad employee or even submitting a resume that would disconcert the company. There are multiple public postings in addition to MTStars where this company has been discussed and the person professing to be the owner has come across as quite superordinate. My only comment here (without any malicious intent) is that a full investigation be given to this company before making a decision whether it fits your needs. I've been sharoosed by the company representative's lack of savoir-faire.
Stay away from Shapin....
do a search on this board and you'll see why. Very unprofessional company.
NOT SHAPIN. I can guarantee you that. nm

Do a search here on Shapin......sm
Very unprofessional company, and they only pay 0.015 cents a line for editing.
Shapin Transcription
I just wanted to say that this is one of the best companies I have worked for. I am an Editor and the people are great, pay is on time, and there is never any negative feedback. Everyone makes mistakes, but they are really polite and nice about it because they understand. You are not just another MT/Editor to them. Communication is always open for questions, concerns etc. The supervisors are great. I don't understand all the negativity towards this company.
To:potatoMT re Shapin
I have been offered an Editor position at 1.5 cpl. That's pretty low isn't it?? Especially if you have to listen to the dictator, read and correct the chart. Does that go up after a period of time? It seems like a nice place to work. But it seems like you time isn't worth much at 1.5 cpl. Any comments would be helpful!! Thanks.
To:potatoMT re Shapin
This would be my first editing job, too, so I would really like the experience. I like the sounds of the flexibility and that you can go at your own pace. Do they train you right online? They said it takes 3-4 weeks to train? Do you get to choose the accounts you work on? Any ESLs? Thanks for the info!!
To Amy & potatoMT re: SHAPIN
Just a warning:
Please read the posts regarding Shapin. I don't know about you guys, but working for this company sounds like an experience I'd rather skip altogether. There are reputable MTSOs out there who are willing to steer you in the right direction. Not only that, the experience you'll be getting from this group, well, let's just say that I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock into what they have to offer, if you know what I mean.
Nevertheless, whatever you guys choose to do, good luck to you both!
Shapin.....no need for explanation!!

any input on Shapin? thanks

Shapin Medical
Hi - I was wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge about Shapin Medical. Thanks for any help.
Has anyone worked for Shapin with info? Thanks. nm

Has anyone ever heard of Shapin Med. Transcription

I love working for Shapin!!!!
Well, i have been with Shapin for 2 1/2 months and absolutely love it. I have never seen so much communication. If you think that is a bad thing, you need to work for a company with no communication. There is always work, in fact I am never caught up anymore, since I recently started QAing as well as transcribing. Maybe I got your job, Thanks for doing such a sucky job, so I got the promotion. Just out of curiosity, where do you work now and what are you getting paid?
Your 2 cents is more than Shapin QA make. nm

I took the position with Shapin and VERY HAPPY about it.
I make decent money and they do not allow us to zip through. However, they are the nicest people I have ever worked for and I found my place to be so am very happy!
I also worked at Shapin as an editor....sm
but I'm not about to post my experience here because I'm just a disgruntled employee after all, so anything I say is because I'm angry that I was let go....yeah, whatever. 
I agree with everything the other disgruntled employees say. Shapin is an unprofessional company that is run by M & L. They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. Little does she know that they are going to eventually be the death of her company.
For those of you happy people who are currently work for them, watch your back. You may think things are great now, but just wait....and don't come back here and say you weren't warned......
Didn't work for Shapin......

Shapin Medical Transcription
Shapin Medical Transcription - Does anyone know anything about this company?
Does anyone have any current info on Shapin?
I check past posts, but they are from like a year ago. I was wondering if things have changed for the better. Thank you.
Shapin Test - I'm confused.
I was asked to test with Shapin. It was a very short test with medical words that needed to be corrected in sentences and then a few definitions. Do you know if this test is timed? I didn't think I took a long time to take it, and I know that there's no way I didn't pass that test. It was very simple. I guess I'm just very confused. There is one that I think I got wrong, but I have no idea how I could have failed.
