Couple specific Encompass questions sm

Do they have a consistent workload?

Heavy ESL?

Their benefits package seems amazing, their requirements seem very well detailed and they seem very structured in general.  I like the black-and-whiteness of it. They seem to have their biz together.  Anyone that can verify?

Any loopholes on their behalf from anyone's experience, such as docking for errors, exreme nit-picking (although my accuracy is excellent thus far).  I'm hoping they're not a company that portrays themselves as reputable, family-oriented, professional, etc. and then harass and turn into monsters once you're on board.  Thanks!

Do they hire part-time?   Do you need a C-phone or are they internet based?

Thanks 

How is the platform?

Is rigid schedule required for full-time?

Are there production bonuses?

Thank you!

TTS does this to all of  ICs. She literally will call MTs and threaten your job because you are not on the schedule for your hours.  I was let go because of not working my set hours, yet I did my line count on a daily basis that I said I would do.  Who would you report this to?  Would you report to the DOL or the IRS? 

Does anybody know if their benefits package includes a decent medical insurance plan?

Also, does anyone know what their internet platform is like (I think it's called Apex?).  Good, bad, etc?

1.  Do they have a production incentive/bonus? 

2.  Where I am right now, if I work even a minute over my 8-hour shift, I have to e-mail my supervisor explaining why.  Is KS that strict, or do they allow you to go over a little?  I don't even care if they pay OT or not, just want to finish my job without worrying about the time.  (Sorry, threw in a little vent there.)

Thank you!

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.

TIA

Can anyone working for Encompass e-mail me privately?

As of 2006-2007--No, they don't offshore.  They do subcontract with other MTSOs.  The owner of the company does not allow MTs to know each others email addresses, thereby keeping them from communicating with each other.  They seem to revere the QAs, tech department and account managers much more than the MTs.  Some of the account managers are quite bossy and QA can be quite condescending.  IMHO, at least one MT who I know was treated like rented equipment while working there.  They often run out of work on primary accounts, while they have mandatory overtime if the workload demands it.  If you meet their specifications, they do offer benefits for part-timers.  If you've been there less than 90 days, you may be required to work all holidays; if you've been there at least 90 days, you can request which holidays you would prefer to work.  However, if there's no work available on that holiday, you don't get paid for it.  If you have requested a certain day off and your manager approves it, keep all documentation, for you might get a call asking why you are not working; at least one manager there had a habit of forgetting such approvals.

I have been through the same issues but have not been able to find another job that is any better than where I am at now.

I applied with Encompass and was told that they do not hire New York state residents due to the high cost of doing business in our state.  I had spent the time filling out their application and completing their testing before finding this out, so I just wanted to save you the trouble if you are in NY. I wanted to forward that e-mail to the governor of New York becauseI was so angry that where I lived would prevent me from getting a good job!

Hi all,  Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge of working with Encompass out of Wisconsin or Sten-Tel out East. . . good, bad or inbetween?  I'm very comfortable with the Escription platform which both use along with straight dictation and am interviewing with both.

Thanks.
