Does anyone think Futurenet will ever offer any benefits? PTO, free direct deposit without meeting certain line requirements, health coverage for all? Or do you think they are going to continue what they are offering now? Has there been ANY WORD of maybe having these in the near future? Just wondering. Curious of whether or not to possibly take the position. Would LOVE it if they were planning on offering ANY, if not all, of these...

They offer PT benefits. They were not my cup of tea
but they do offer them if you live in certain states.
What benefits do they offer..
I have an interview coming up with them and wonder how much PTO you get and what kind of insurance, disability, etc. Thanks!
Does MDI offer benefits?
Can anyone tell me if MDI offers benefits. Is the work volume still low? Is there a lot of VR and ESL work?
Thanks

This is IC pay, and they offer no benefits whatsoever. nm
They are able to offer great benefits...
because they do more than just transcription. And, for clarification, my posts are referring to the supervisor to whom the MTs report directly. Ms. Nasty-for-no-reason-at-all.
Does SPI really offer benefits? The last time I checked they did not.
Thanks for any information.
Does TransTech offer insurance benefits? nm

They offer similar benefits and they are not as small as you think! sm
I think they are close to 500 employees now.
They also do not lose accounts. I worked for a hospital that went with them and they just renewed for the 2nd time, been with them 6 years now.
I think that MQ is losing the accounts to companies like Keystrokes because of the offshore MQ does!
Does MDI-MD offer employee status, benefits??? SM
I could not find any of this info on their website. I need to know before applying so I won't waste their time and mine. Thanks very much.
11 cpl? I guess that means we won't be able to offer benefits. nm
.No hate mail - just reality that benefits cost BIG BUCKS.
Any companies out there that offer the hospital benefits besides Diskriter
I currently work in-house a hospital but they do not have at-work positions and I would like ot work at home so I wondered if there were other companies and/hospitals that hire at-home MTs with full benefits....besides Diskriter as I have not heard a lot of good news about them and it makes me nervous to apply.
Quote from OP's post: Do they offer the same benefits as Trascend....
nm
Looked on their website but it does not appear that they offer benefits so I am right in assuming
this is not an employee status position?
Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
MDI-ers: Is Instant Text compatible with MDI's platform? Do they offer health benefits? nm

Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
That's strange. When I received an offer, I thought it was competitive and the benefits were good
especially medical insurance benefits for family. Maybe I did not look at them very close. Could you elaborate on what you were offered? I really thought they were decent pay and benefits.
Thank you. Could you elaborate on the benefits, offer single medical coverage or family, PTO etc...
Thanks

Do any of you know of any MTSOs using Futurenet software...iType, iPlayer, iSeries, iText?
Futurenet uses it.

Can you work out of your home for Futurenet? They are located in Monrovia, arent they? I think they used to be in the same industrial office area as MQ.
futurenet
TONS of ESL, but pay is excellent and they have weekend & holiday bonuses that are very good! Very flexible and easy to work with.
FutureNet
Thanks for the info. I was offered a position with them today. The account that they told me I would be doing I know has a lot of ESLs. I am debating whether to take the job or not. Anyone heard of HPI (Health Information Partners)? It seems like a good company. Thanks again for the valuable info! Have a great Xmas.
FutureNet
Has anyone heard anything about this company - good, bad or ugly?
FutureNet
Terrific company, excellent pay, office staff,QA and Tech Support great. Other than no benefits, company extremely hard to beat
FutureNet
We've definitely had different experiences with the company. I've typed for them as an IC for about 2 years - guess I've gotten used to the account and dictators. Some are still bad but for the most part, they're ok. Quite a while ago they did have a gal in the office that was hateful but she's been gone for a while now, and I've found the rest of the crew to be terrific. Sorry you had a bad one with them, though. It is so hard to find a decent company; feel I found it with FN but went through a lot of companies until I did.
FUTURENET
Please let me know if you know anything about this company. How is the staff, etc.? Thanks!
FutureNet
It is a terrific company, friendly group. Typing platform is one of the easiest I have ever typed. Have worked for several companies and highly recommend this one.
FutureNet
Anybody working for FutureNet? Any info, good or bad?
futurenet
I have been with FutureNet for about 3 months now...after leaving Medquist...had been with Your Office Genie before MQ took over...15 years total. What you have at FN is a good portion of the old staff that was at the Monrovia office of YOG/MQ. I find them great to work with and have enough work and so far no problems..but then I have known most of them for years...mtgal847
FutureNet
What do you have to do to be SE with them? nm
Futurenet QA
How is QA at Futurenet? Do they dock for blanks, follow strict BOS or client specifics, quibble over commas, etc?
TIA!
FutureNet
Great company, great pay, direct deposit if line requirements are met and a lot of ESL dictators
FutureNet
Does anyone out there know what transcription program FutureNet uses and how difficult it is to learn? Just finished my shift at MQ and am exhausted from DQS...Thanks!
FutureNet
They use a word-based program called iType for some accounts, but I believe they use something else for another (which I'm not familiar with). I use iType on my accounts, and I found it very easy to learn. Hope this helps!
Futurenet
I just interviewed with them and saw some posts asking questions. I did my homework and asked a ton of questions based on experiences with other companies and some things I saw here. They were perfectly willing to answer them in detail and were very frank about the accounts and the difficulty, etc. Some places try to skate around the real answer, and that is not what I got here. I don't start until later this week, but I just wanted to let anyone considering know that they had no problem with questions that other companies sometimes act like they don't know or just don't want to answer, and believe me, I had a list!!

Anyone know what's going on at Futurenet? Really good people to work for but now usually running out of work or NO work. Heard they hired a bunch of MTs from MQ. It sure feels like MQ. Work o.k. between paydays and when payday gets close, the sharks who don't work other times decide to come in take all the work from those of us who stick to our shifts and are there all the time. I'm sick of companies like this and I'm really disappointed. Looking for PT work to fill in. I have a certain amount I have to make each day and now instead of doing it in 8-9 hours, I'm working around the clock and 7 days a week because of this. I'm sick of it. You would think management would look at who is there day in and day out, or at least cut out PT when there is no work available for FT. Oh, well - just sign me blue
FutureNet
I'm with you. I have been at this for 6 years and met my financial goal this last month. Now, am running out of work every day it seems. The thought of going to a new company is dismal because it takes me about 2 months to get up to speed on the learning curve. It is so very discouraging. I am ready to look for a new vocation if I could only think of one!
What is going on with Futurenet now? sm
Is work still low? Have they lost or gained any new accounts? Any changes? Curious about future employment.
FutureNet
Unfortunately, the work flow is still low.
FutureNet
I work for them, and they have 550 jobs this evening! Something must be wrong. Even though they have work today, lots of times, they are out!! I use for backup only.
FUTURENET
First of all, the majority of the management at FutureNet are former Your Office Genie/Medquist employees and I have worked with them for the last 15 yrs at YOG/MQ. They are great to work with...I always have enough work...and get QA backup whenever I ask for it..if you do not get an answer from the first person you talk to, there are other people to talk to there. Just keep trying. As far as work and workers are concerned, it was emailed out that the work was there but not many MTs were working their promised schedule and they were told they would have to hire more MTs to cover the work...so that is what is happening...it is a very good company to work for.
Futurenet does not. nm
Futurenet
Does anyone out there know how Futurenet counts lines? Do they pay for spaces? Thanks.

Salutations, group. I am seeking information from someone who has or does work for FutureNet. Is this a good company? What about specialities or acute care? I am trying to gather enough information to make an informed choice whether to apply with them or not. Having had some poor experiences in the past, but willing to give another company a try, I would like as much info as possible - both ways - before I spend valuable time applying, testing, interviewing, etc. After reading this board and the other one, it seems that there are more bad companies than good. Also, I am applying for a radiology position where the work is done on-site. Can anyone tell me the going rate for in-house transcriptionists? Line? Hour? I haven't worked in-house in a long time and am totally out of that loop.
FutureNet?
Any current info on FutureNet? I know there have been past posts on them but just wondered what the current situation is like there. Any input appreciated! Thanks!

They have converted 99% of their accounts to the word based program. I believe there are several Expanders that work with their program. As far as their so-called connection to YOG, well OF COURSE THERE IS! Tom Liu, who owns Futurenet, worked for Carole for years and designed and maintained the Cottage program software. When he started his own business, other than maintaining the software, they had no connection and they have no connection now. Good riddance to Carole, I say.
futurenet
what account were you on?
Anyone know about FutureNet
Any info would be appreciated.
