I work for them (DeVenture)....

and have since they took over a smaller local transcription service several years ago.

Personally, (and I'm totally not sucking up here) this job has been a godsend to me for so many reasons.  I really enjoy this whole typing at home gig and don't know how I could live in this state (Maine) without it.

However, I do believe they are pretty strict about hours.  If you say you are going to work a certain time, you will be expected to be working during that time.  They will insist you run Microsoft Instant Messenger so they can reach instantly you if they need to...admittedly that is kind of hard to deal with sometimes.

They do offer incentives that increase as your weekly line counts increase.  I don't think they offer a 401k, but I could be mistaken.  I can barely afford the health insurance for my husband and I, which we desperately need, so I don't really look at any of the extras.  I can get back to you on that.

They provide software and I believe a pedal, but you need to have your own computer equipment.  I haven't needed training on anything in particular for a long time now, so I can't comment on that, but their SHINE interface for downloading wav files is incredibly easy.  Level I stuff, the stuff I have encountered, is a breeze to type (SOAP notes).  I do mostly level II stuff but fill in where necessary, so I don't see why down the road someone couldn't upgrade so long as they have the skills, but I don't want to put words in my mouth so don't quote me on that ;)

All in all, I have been very happy working here and have no intention of switching.  I did a few years ago when they just came on-line, as there were very few accounts and I was literally starving for lines.  However, they seem to be getting bigger every month and the work has been coming in left and right!  I really haven't had any problems and have no complaints from my end of it :)

They do not pay! Have been looking for my pay for 2 pay periods.  They promised to overnight it, but still have not received it.   They also hire, don't have enough work and then fire.   I have filed a claim with my local Labor Commission because if you work, you should be paid on your pay date.

Nice people, but I found their platform to be rather tedious and time-consuming.  Also very strict on scheduling and I needed more flexibility. 

HTH.. 

I see unanswered posts about Deventure and thought I would give my opinion. I am new there, but impressed. Setup was extremely smooth and recruiter, supervisor, and tech people are on the ball. Good feedback and encouragement. Great accounts and not-so-great accounts. The constant ads are because they are adding new accounts by the minute.

I was just hired by DeVenture. Can anyone tell me anything at all about this company that they would like to share?

Thanks in advance!

don't venture. the new Q -- dedictated to making even MORE profit off our hardworking backs with fewer crumbs in return.

Okay, I didn't get any responses about the equipment from DeVenture, so I have another question.  I have read that the pay is on the low side, but is it possible to make a decent salary with them? Is the platform user friendly?  Thanks.

Hayseed,

I'm responding.  I just didn't see your note until now.

Nope, I had a real recruitment nightmare experience with them.  They get a chapter in my TEMPORARY NIGHTMARES AS AN MT book whenever I write it.   I sent you a PM.

Anyone have info on this company? Please? I am really looking to switch.  Anything good or bad.

Has anybody had any experiece with this company?  They just offered me 9 cpl to start if I do 175 lph. 

I work for DeVenture with EditScript.  You will not find nicer people to work with.  Amanda is very sweet.  Yes, she is new, but she knows what she is doing or she would not be in that position.  They are a great company in every way.

I have been waiting on my pay from DeVenture for 2 pay periods.  I was last told they would be sending it overnight, and it still has not arrived.   I do not work for the company any longer.  They hired too many people and then fired them.  I will be filing with the Labor Commission in my state, since by law employees are to be paid on the designated pay dates. 

DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
