I've found Acusis to be a
great bunch to work for. Pay is direct-deposit, ALWAYS on time. Work slowdowns don't happen too often. Very friendly mgrs. that are approachable and never abusive to employees. QA is for the most part friendly, as well. When overtime is offered it pays a higher rate. Their oral/written test was no problem, but the typing test was pretty hard, not because of tape quality or ESLs, just very up-to-date procedures & terminology. Still, I passed, so it's by no means impossible. Pay could be a little better, but that seems to be the problem with all companies these days. They do offshore, but that seems to be a separate entity from the US-based part of the company, almost like it's 2 different companies. Anyway, my experience with them is currently a good one.
Acusis sent out nice ceramic coffee mugs with lids. :-) nm
Are you a nice company to work for. nm
:
Nice company to work for. sm
Pay always on time. Weekends are not required. They do not pay for spaces, but do pay H/F. Line rates are better than average to good.
nice company to work for -----
Mongoose is simple to learn and doesn't seem to have the problems with freezing up and losing jobs that I experienced with Chartscript at my last job.
Yes, they do. Nice little company. Plenty of work.
Pay on a weekly basis. Internet based platform. I do think they are still hiring.
Very nice company to work for... friendly and
good QA. It is sometimes difficult to get a high line rate though. Not sure why, but maybe because headers and footers are not paid for. They do pay for spaces however. Good Luck in your decision.
Different company but no slow down, swamped but we were before holidays. Nice having work..
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
What is the best company to go to for IC that is a nice company to work for that has work for you
and also is interested if you want to work part time at some point.
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

No, Acusis is the company that started in India, and

anyone work for Acusis?
I already know that they outsource. I am just looking for more information about this company.
But you DON'T work for Acusis... SM
So what exactly was in Jasper's post that would set off alarm bells???
IF you worked for Acusis, and IF you read today's daily report, you MIGHT be worried about your job security IF you were US IT.
Sorry but there's too much going on with ALL accounts for me, personally, to fall for the Chicken Little thing without something a little more specific...
Anyone work or worked for Acusis? sm
Just wondering how they are as employer? Plenty of work? Productivity of platform, pay average or low? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone work at Acusis? Wondering how the atmosphere is there,

As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
Best company I have found, BUT
I hate the ignoring of emails that goes on when they dont want to answer your question or address your concern. Have sent a few nice words to one of the owners, a thank you, a gesture, a comment....no reply ever. Must not speak to the little people. Same with DH. Nice, caring folks usually, then the many unanswered inquiries are troubling. At some point you just drop the issue because it's obvious you're being ignored and they don't want to deal with whatever.... so to pursue it puts one in an awkward position. In the grand scheme of transcription, this is heaven, but what's up with the stonewalling?
I found a company like that as well that
It is from a pool of work, but I do not HAVE to take it, and I do not HAVE to meet a quota. What a wonderful life! And, no they're not hiring... heehee 
I have found that company....
after working many years as an IC, I felt I needed more security, such as paid time off, retirement savings, completely affordable health care. It is pretty close to the perfect company for me. I keep to my schedule, I do my work, they leave me alone. What more could I ask for? BTW, it is Axolotl Corp.
so you found a company that sm
doesnt require weekends. If that is what you want, that is great. I also don't work weekends after 32 years of this. My point is the OP has an attitude that NO MT should have to work weekends when the MTSO obviously requires it. Just because she/or yourself for that matter, doesn't think an MTSO needs/requires weekend workers, doesn't mean that some MTSO contracts dont' require it.
I get so tired of hearing about MTs who demand certain hours, certain days, gotta have their pick of the work, line quota, etc but never want to bend at all. The job is not about the MT but about the patients. Seems to me lots of MTs have forgotten that behind all of this are patients.
If an MTSO requires weekend work and one MT doesn't want to work weekends, there are 10 that will take the place of the one. I just hate hearing the whining by the MTs who won't bend at all when the work is low and they need the money. Its obvious to me that the OP has never had to support a family totally on an MT salary. It can be done but not by a whiny MT who wants their cake and eat it too! After 35 years, you should know that.

Just found out my company offshores,

Company found way to handle TAT. SM
After 5 pm, they are dumping out whatever reports are in editors ques and sending them out to MTs, but just certain MTs who have high ratings and are not allowed to leave any blanks. Sounds like a great idea, except if one is the MT who gets stuck with all the junk, one right after the other.
This isn't VR either. 
If you do not comply with their PC check on your personal computer, Acusis will close your work pool

Heads up, I just found out this is a BC, Canada company!!

Can you share what small company you found (sm)
that offers benefits (even if it is more costly). It seems that all I have talked to don't offer any and I can't afford to go without health insurance. Thank you so much in advance.
I agree...I found this company to be very back and forth...
when there is work, everything is great...but when there is no work and you want more, somehow they can't come up with any and make excuses as to the lack of work, et cetera...I moved on and am happy I did... I know people who are happy there so to each their own, this is just my own experience...good luck!!!
Awesome! I am glad to have found this company.

Seems like a nice company - sm
Nice pay, nice people, nice account.
They are a nice company...sm
Here lately you never know when you are going to have work, they have some of the hardest accounts I have ever tried to transcribe, but the pay is good, they do pay headers and footer, the people are nice and flexible, so I personally would give them a try.
Nice company
I work for them. Small company. Always pay you on time. Must maintain 98% accuracy on your work. What type of work are you applying for?
Nice company but...sm
if you're in need of health insurance, it is very expensive!
Nice company (sm)
I had to quit due to other commitments but good people to work with. I enjoyed the work. Pay is as stated and I don't remember having any problems with pay being on time. All in all good experience with them.
I am no longer working there. I had enough of their crap. I found a much better company

I found it, bottom page 2 Company board

I found it hard to believe there was another company so close in spelling myself.

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
Oh! That's very nice. We sometimes have gotten a V-Day gift from my company.

They only hire ICs. They are a nice company.
Haven't found a great place yet . . ., was with last company three years.
Just new this internet thing.
I talked with them and she was very nice... the company she wanted to
.
It's nice to actually CARE about doing good for the company again.
Good company, nice folks...sm
I recommended a friend and she is one of 70 being hired for a large university hospital in Utah. I heard they landed some other big accounts. No VR at this time, which is important to me. Pay is on time. They have a sign on bonus now. Line rate is better than most.
Just thinking it may be nice for others to know the name of the company IF they happen to hire
again in the future.......
Second the motion.. Nice people.. Best company I have worked for.
They really care about their employees and it shows..
