Would never have lasted 8 weeks
in these conditions. Have you asked management if the problems can be fixed? like asap?
I lasted 2 weeks with the account and sound quality. sm.
It was a verbatim account and the sound quality was extremely bad. Nothing but a headache that I just wasn't willing to put up with for a paycheck when I had other options. With no other options I may consider staying longer, but no way any other time.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
I lasted only a few months...
From my personal experience -The clients are horrible, ESLs are very high, no work, lack of respect and they never can seem to get your paycheck correct. Just knowing that they are up for sale was enough for me to look elsewhere.
i lasted 1 month...c msg
pay was pretty good at 8.5 cpl, and they do have some nice staff members.
BUT, horrible platform, heavy ESL doctors, and terrible english-speaking doctors. it was obvious that each QA member had their own preference, even going agaist global emails sent to the mts. a couple of us didnt like our trainer (it looked like we were talking about the same person who is supposedly gone now.
you'll find a lot on the archives.
I think I lasted a month.

that's why i lasted only 1 month

2 esl, 1 neuro, all others were Taken. lasted a day.

ex-WMX - I lasted there a year also
things were great, then after a year it all went to heck - maybe they do not want long-term MTs - they do that where my partner works, they even brag about it - just keep a huge turn-around of employees so they pay less benefits.
I do know there are people that have been there for years but perhaps you would have to be in from the beginning.
my experience was that they gave preference to MQ hires also...
I only lasted a week with OSi
I think they were totally unprofessional and very disorganized and there was not enough work. I quit almost 2 months ago and they called me this Saturday to see if I could put in some overtime.... nobody seems to talk to anybody else and communicate things. I went back to my old company and am much happier.
yup, das y i quit--only lasted a month with them and i could see where it was going

im not too far, i lasted one month (suprising)

I lasted one job on their ortho account
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.
It lasted a little longer for me, but I'm ready to move on. -sm
Nice people. You really do feel appreciated for a while, but then I don't know if they think the average lifespan of an MT with any company is that short-lived or what, but they started giving my primary away to others, secondaries I would never get the same dictator twice unless it was a work type I hate and told them I hate, then I'd get them regularly. I don't get it. Feedback and evaluations are not in their vocabulary after you're out of probation. I think it's time to move on.
They had great benefits and little work. I lasted three
nm
Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm
s
Yeah.. I second the motion. I lasted a day before I had a breakdown haha..
It was awful. Way too many screens to open up just to get going or do perform any task. That right there will always be their downfall. I'm sure if they had a better platform they would get a lot of better responses to job openings. JMO
My "lull" lasted about an hour. Now it's back on too much work!! (LOL)
nm
It has been a couple of years but I tried to work there and lasted 1 day and so did a friend of mine
The ESL were AWFUL.. It was all I got and I could not understand anything they said. They were out of California so had a real mixed bag of ESL but none of it was doable. Things could have changed, who knows.
Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
HATED IT!...nm
xxx
Hated it!
I don't even know why I stayed with them as long as I did. There was hardly ever any work. I would ask to be placed on another account for more work, but the other accounts had no work as well?!! No direct deposit. My paycheck was never calculated correctly and it was hell trying to get the money I was actually owed. Having to log every single job you do and every single mistake found in the job plus calculating the line and character count at the end of the day was just ridiculous. I really have nothing good to say about this company.
I hated SPI
I quit SPI just over a month ago. I hated that place.
I hated it
Didn't make it two weeks. Management style sucked.
I hated it.......sm
But that is just me. too many difficult ESLs, and they make up the majority of that account.....I never liked Docuscribe....
I did not like MT World either and I hated being on IM all day. nm
xx
Ditto, hated it!
x
Hated their platform, could not
make any money on it. Constant technical problems. I quit.
HATED ExText
Found the same thing. My production dropped dramatically using that system. The cpl rate was great but not worth it. With the time wasted, I could have been earning 1 cpl less and still making more with increased production.
I hated AC years ago, but....
I hesitantly applied for the RAD position. I don't know anything about Rad or Path with them.
I used to work for OSI and hated it
..
My friend worked there and hated them, but
I guess it just depends.
Are you kidding? I hated RadNet!
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Ditto everything he/she said! Plus HATED the time
I hated to have to leave my last job for many reasons.
It was working in-house with great MDs and techs and other clerical people. But I felt the OM was sanity-challenged and I was extremely frustrated by her need to make herself look good and everybody else look bad. If you tried to do anything for the good of the company, she was extremely suspicious of your agenda. I now work for a company where everybody seems to be interested in putting out a quality product in a smart and efficient manner. What a relief to be able to concentrate on work! And yes, I actually took a cut in pay from a great hourly wage. It's a shame to have to do that, but it was better than fuming night and day over work for me.
I absolutely HATED Meditech.
Slow isn't the word! The spellchecker was a total PIA to use and my text Expander wasn't compatible with it either. My company did offer a teensy weensy rate increase but it just wasn't worth it...plus they recalculated the lines on us. Meditech counted 55 characters but our bill rate was for 65 so it was like a double whammy, so what you saw on the screen was not what you got paid for. Total ouch.
When I used Meditech, it was on a dial-up connection and when it dumped (several times a shift), guess what? I lost my work! 100% completely unrecoverable.
Oh the memories still make me wince in pain.
worked there for a month--hated it. nm

Hated it enough to leave a company
that couldn't take the time to use it right. When a company USES it properly, it is not too bad. When they don't bother to have the doc's office fill in the necessary information and then not bother to build the necessary data bases, it is real hard to earn a living.
I hated working for Transolutions
The platform is terrible. I have never in my life struggled getting lines, always getting at least 250 lph, but on that platform, it was terrible. As for United Healthcare, be prepared for your premium to go up with that change because they are very, very expensive. I paid $700 a month at my last company with United Healthcare as the insurance. It was at Spheris, and I left after being employed there for 5 years because of the high insurance premium.
I hated transolutions also... the reason they
have so much work is because they can't keep people to do it. You will receive mountains of notebooks and papers during training to try and figure out, the platform is horrible, they DON'T COUNT SPACE OR PUNCTUATION Keystrokes PEOPLE, tons of data to enter on ADT screen, you have to manually add any doctor that is dictated in the report to the cc list (give me a break), lots and lots of busy work, QA IS A NIGHTMARE. I stuck it out for 2 months just in case the whole thing was just me, but nope, it wasn't, somehow lines just didn't add up. I couldn't get out of there fast enough! I would NEVER work for them or recommend them again!
My most hated dictators are not the ESLs, sm
they are sloppy dictators who talk at the speed of light and mumble but still expect an accurate report. 
You're right that there is a lot of work. I just wish we had a definite payday. It would be nice to know if I'm getting paid on the 4th, the 8th, the 10th or whenever. That would be my only complaint with the place. Otherwise, it is easy work with great people.
Left there last year. I hated the
platform and the dictators and voice system horrible. I was unable to make any money. QA was a draw depending on who you got. Good luck.
hated it, quit after just a few days
because so many things were just plain weird and tons of discrepancies. Some things work with the keyboard, some don't. I could go on.
I worked for them for over 5 years and hated to leave.
I just quit in the last 3 weeks. I loved it there.
They don't hate their employees. As far as your Spheris-specific complaints above, found the exact opposite to be true.
They're not going down the tubes; in fact, they are headed toward taking MQ's spot as #1 in the industry. They are #2 currently.
I had many offers to do QA and even go into management but I preferred to control my income by MTing. I made top dollars with that company and they were always working with me.
I can see you did not have a good experience there. Have you ever enjoyed any company you worked for or have you always had these feelings everytime you left one?
No cherry picking here. I always hated that and love that about
TransTech. Their feeling is that you have to take the good with the bad.
Back in April they did -- hated that platform!!
One of the main reasons I left.
Oracle........I hated it ....soooooooooo slow
xx
Yep...great insurance, but I HATED working for them.
For years I had wanted so badly to work for Axolotl. I was finally hired and found it to be one of the biggest disappointments ever. Left there and never looked back.
I hated YOG. I had horrendous accounts, couldn't get
samples, they called 24/7 wanting me to work extra, even 6 months after I left. I was only there about 4 months and left before Carole sold-out despite saying she would NEVER do it.
My account is on Meditech, which at first I HATED, but now I do not mind so much. sm
You can look up old reports by the same doctor, information about the patient such as lab tests, medications, etc. It just took some getting used to for me.
Like the other poster said, from the email that was sent out the other day, it sounds like they are phasing out part-time people, although I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask, especially if you want to work a shift where they happen to need coverage.
Good luck! 
I used this years ago, first hated it, but once got used to it, it was not so bad. Good luck :)
You will get used to it. Build up a lot of shortcuts, like you are probably acustomed to. I'm sure you'll do fine.
