I don't wanna put words in the company's mouth

because I don't know if the insurance type/coverage varies from state to state or not.  I have to provide insurance for both my husband and I (through DeVenture) and well, that does take a bite out of the ol' paycheck I must admit.  However, when I was getting just coverage for myself, so long as I made 7000+ lines a week, they paid 90% of the cost, and that wasn't too shabbyof a deal at all.

I left them for another job and then was going to get rehired part-time.  They called me and said they couldn't rehire me part-time because they found out that the day I quit, I was actually going to be let go for not doing a good job!  I said, what are you talking about, no one ever said anything to me.  Then Lee sent me an email saying that it was a big mistake and never mind.  Then the account I was going to go on was going to be starting up in a week, then a month, then I never heard another word from them!  Then Karen called me quite a while later and said they had an account coming on and she would call me the next day to get set up.  I said okay for the extra work.  No call, ever.  I decided that enough was enough and that things would never change.  I see by current posts things still haven't!  Ha.  Go figure!

Also, I was quite offended as I have never been let go from anywhere and have never had a complaint about my work.  But then I had to remember who the source was and just let it go.

Send an e-mail to HR off the website... Do this daily until you hear from them. 

I did take the test and sent in resume at same time though.  I kept bugging them... I said I would like to know how I did on my test and if they received my resume and how I could not wait to work there....

Now I work there.

because not everyone has it as peachy as you do.  Some are constantly in the c-pool or run out of work.  Some have PS's that do not communicate anything.  Some have ASR accounts that are so bad they have to erase everything and start all over.  Some get reprimanded for punching in 5 minutes late while some punch in an hour late and get no discipline. 

Some have rad accounts that pay for each separate body part while others lump it all into 1.  I don't do rad personally, but I've seen enough of it to know that it doesn't pay fairly - it's by the report with some reports being counted as 1 while some are separated into reports per body part. 

While I'm about 75% happy with MQ, there are many that aren't that happy and even some that are happier than that.  There are just too many variables at MQ, which is probably what irritates me the most.  Second in line is the fact I haven't had a raise in more than 5 years and my current pay rate isn't that great.  I personally don't care for E-time (our timecard system), but that's because I don't like any timecard system. 

The best advice I can give you is if you are currently employed, do not quit that job until you've tried out the new place for a while and you know it's a good fit.  Good luck.

of someone who has never suffered ONE SINGLE hardship in her pampered life.  Put yourself in someone else's shoes.  Some of you on this board........you may have it made and do not NEED this job as your sole income.  some of you have probably NEVER had a hardship or anything happen to you. If you are fortunate to have never known hunger, poverty, etc.........good for you. 

For some of you, this job is just a hobby, for MORE it is something we do because we HAVE TO WORK AND HAVE TO MAKE MONEY, PAY BILLS, EAT, AND ALL the other things that we need just to LIVE.........

These are my figures bases on FT 160 hours.

 So if do 20,000 lines per pay period equals

10,000 lines per week = 250 lines an hour per 8 hr (every hour) 

 you get 7.5 cents a line Woww eee

 ($1500 a month - so work 40 hours a week X 4 equal 160 hours equal  ONLY $9.37 hour for all the skill and accuracy.

1.  The reason it is hourly is so they can pay you on a 1980's pay scale.  It is nothing more than bait to use as an excuse to pay you less.

2.  Many hourly QAs tend to dump jobs they don't want for someone else to do the dirty work.  The high producers who care about their work end up doing most of the work.

3.  If you get paid by the line you make at least 50% more.  I left an hourly QA job about a month ago for one that pays by the line and I doubled my income within two weeks.  By working on the long jobs other QAs don't want, I make a lot of money.

4.  Hourly QAs make about half of what good MTs make. 

5.  QA in general is one of the most thankless jobs around.  I left MT for QA so I could share my knowledge.  What a joke.  The MTs argue with you and never stop making the same mistakes.  Not only did I lose a lot of income, I hated coming to work every day to get the same reports from the same lazy MTs and then get nasty emails from the same MTs.  I got stuck with the jobs the other hourly QAs didn't know how to do or didn't want to do.  Why should they care?  They get paid no matter what.

I have also heard great things about this company, only recently have I heard bad things.  If they post on this message board they supposedly do not offshore work. The moderator would definitely have something to say about that, don't you think?

Does that make sense to you?
