I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 

I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned.  I still find them to be the best for me.  Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise). 

I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work.  As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there. 

Good luck & I hope it works out for you. 

I don't know why my email would be invalid. I am listing it again but also enclosing my questions here if you want to answer them on the board.  Sorry for the trouble.

Would you kindly answer the following questions as I am seriously considering placing my resume with Allegiant.  I would really appreciate your input. 

What if something happens and you cannot type the required amount per day (sickness, doctor app.,etc.)

Are there many ESLs

On average how many doctors do you transcribe for? 

Do you get to keep the same doctors or are you switched around a lot?

Do you ever run out of work?

Do you find the EMDAT system user friendly?

Are you required to buy any software, etc.?

Is high speed internet required?

Is all work IC with no benefits?

Do they have full time work?

Is the pay dependable and timely?

Just wondering if anyone currently working for Allegiant could give me some info?  Your likes and dislikes about the company, and if you could answer the following questions.

Can you work part-time?

Plenty of work?

Good dictators?

Are you assigned to just a few accounts or do you have a lot of accounts assigned to you?

Is their platform easy to learn and easy to use?

Anything else you can think of about the company that would be useful info?

Thanks in advance! 

It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage.  Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.

Good luck!  

are the sole support of their families (who usually need to eat regularly, wear clothes and shoes and need electricity and other "luxuries."

You would tell someone in that position to be grateful for the opportunity to spend time with their children in that case?  How much quality time can a parent have with kids if they are worried about paying the bills?

weren't around when this was a real career, when the pay scale was 11 cpl+ as an employee with benefits and a normal amount of paid time off during the year, equipment provided by the company, internet paid by the company.

Fast forward from then until today and what you have is a clerical job with clerk salary.

Clinic work is super easy -- 7 to 7-1/2 cpl -- and I think acute care pays 8-1/2 cpl.  They pay once a week, direct deposit, work is done in Word.

Hope this helps.

direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit.   The account that I was on used ExText.

Hope this helps.  Good luck. 

.

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.

Hope this helps.
