where you can make your own hours, to my knowledge.  They hire people for a certain shift and they need us to work the hours we were hired for...period.  I was working nights but am now back on days and I get called on several times during my shift to type up stat work.  I don't know if all accounts are like this, but mine is and when they call, I'd darned well better be there...IT'S MY JOB. 

A lot of people seem to think they can work whenever...I think that is what an independent contractor does though, don't they?  If you are an employee and are hired to work 7-3, you are hired to do a job.  Yesterday I made over 1700 lines in an 8-hour shift, and that is with 1 hour off for lunch, so that's only 7 hours of straight typing (and no normals at that!).  No diddlin' around (except for stretchie breaks).

I think the pay is just fine (with incentives for higher line counts), PTO is great, health insurance is quite affordable, and I have nothing bad to say about them at all.  I'm only posting here because I have read 2 negatives in a row and feel there should be a positive to help balance them.  I've seen a lot of people come and go now, and that makes me sad, but this is a job afterall, not a hobby. 

If you are serious about getting paid well for your hard work, then apply.     

I'm quite happy with them and am especially happy with the fact THERE IS ALWAYS WORK!  In fact, there has been so much work that overtime was offered!  I guess that's why they have ads looking for help on here.  It seems like it was eons ago that I remember calling them and begging for work (this is when they took over a company I worked for and were getting their ducks in a row).  Now it's vice versa...they're always asking me to work extra!   I'm very happy with the benefits to...and I just learned via an e-mail last week that they are going to offer a 401K plan, which is just HELLO!  AWESOME!  

I've talked to a couple of fellow MTs from other states who love it there as well, and of course I adore my boss lady who was/is also an MT and can totally sympathize with the issue du-jour, if ya know what I mean! 

Definitely drop 'em a line, you won't be disappointed!   

Nice people, but I found their platform to be rather tedious and time-consuming.  Also very strict on scheduling and I needed more flexibility. 

HTH.. 

I see unanswered posts about Deventure and thought I would give my opinion. I am new there, but impressed. Setup was extremely smooth and recruiter, supervisor, and tech people are on the ball. Good feedback and encouragement. Great accounts and not-so-great accounts. The constant ads are because they are adding new accounts by the minute.

I was just hired by DeVenture. Can anyone tell me anything at all about this company that they would like to share?

Thanks in advance!

don't venture. the new Q -- dedictated to making even MORE profit off our hardworking backs with fewer crumbs in return.

Okay, I didn't get any responses about the equipment from DeVenture, so I have another question.  I have read that the pay is on the low side, but is it possible to make a decent salary with them? Is the platform user friendly?  Thanks.

Hayseed,

I'm responding.  I just didn't see your note until now.

Nope, I had a real recruitment nightmare experience with them.  They get a chapter in my TEMPORARY NIGHTMARES AS AN MT book whenever I write it.   I sent you a PM.

Anyone have info on this company? Please? I am really looking to switch.  Anything good or bad.

Has anybody had any experiece with this company?  They just offered me 9 cpl to start if I do 175 lph. 

I work for DeVenture with EditScript.  You will not find nicer people to work with.  Amanda is very sweet.  Yes, she is new, but she knows what she is doing or she would not be in that position.  They are a great company in every way.

I have been waiting on my pay from DeVenture for 2 pay periods.  I was last told they would be sending it overnight, and it still has not arrived.   I do not work for the company any longer.  They hired too many people and then fired them.  I will be filing with the Labor Commission in my state, since by law employees are to be paid on the designated pay dates. 

DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Word 2007 with no problems, and I have Vista.  It depends on what team you are on as far as workload.  I do radiology and acute care.  I'm only on my third week, but have been able to make above the required line count each week.  I am hoping, however, that I will have enough work to do above the required 1100 lines per day, which I will be required to do starting next week.  My team leader is very nice.  I had no problems with the recruiter getting back to me on a timely basis.  My first paycheck came in Saturday, only two days after the pay date.  I will have direct deposit after, I believe, 2 or 3 paychecks.

Just remember, not everyone is happy where they work, nor can every employer please every employee all the time.  Try it out.  If you don't like it, there are plenty of other MTSOs out there (some good and some bad, but that's how it is no matter what type of work you do).  I'm just happy to not be driving in traffic any more.
