When I was at MQ, they lost many YOG accounts, but I haven't been there in a couple of years, so I can't really speak to that.

If you want to make steady money then run away from FutureNet! Totally unstable workflow..nm

Is the work steady?
Do you work for them?
If you want steady work...
Do not go to Amphion...Constant low work and they switch from account to account to account until there is no work on any account. Not Amphion!!
Does MDI-Fl have steady work? Are there benefits

at least they have steady flow of work -

I'd like to know too as we can seem to keep steady work, yet we are always trying to hire more.
If someone knows why they keep hiring more people, let us know. All I can think of is that the MTs they have keep quitting due to the lack of work, it's a vicious cycle. Somedays, they holler for help, you get in there and work hard, and then the next thing you know, we're out of work. I say STOP HIRING and let the MTs you have who want and need the work to do just that. I'm so sick of the feast or famine concept there. I'm job hunting. This stinks. They obviously advertise because they cant keep good help. That's my guess!!!
Good pay, steady work?
I was considering applying but don't want to jeopardize my current job.
i have steady work, on wav accts
with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
None for me either, no steady work for weeks..nm

Been at my job since March and work is steady
I work for a small U.S. company who does not offshore (and shall remain nameless, by me anyway). You have a primary account and a backup account. They do not over-hire so the work is mostly steady. I am told that it only runs low around the holidays. I'm pretty happy with that. At least you know the lull is coming and can prepare for it financially. My days at sitting at the computer waiting for work are over, for now anyway.
Steady work? Fairness in doling out the work?
Am so tired of crap work because I can do it, am getting burned out because of just that, crap work all the time. One of the reasons I am looking at other companies.
I work for a small national. I have steady work, usually
extra if I want it. I make 10 cpl as an employee, get vacation, 401K matching, PTO, wonderful QA, lots of ESL dictators but mostly decent ones, direct deposit, no IM, no nasty e-mails, no phone calls asking me to work extra day after day. Saying that MTs are surprised at how much money they make because they have steady work even though the line rate is low sounds like a line a used car salesman would use. A low line rate is a low line and an insult, especially since without the MTs you wouldn't be able to pay your bills.
Just because everyone else sees to be going to India is like the saying you parents would say if everyone else jumped off the bridge .... Many companies sell out, but you don't HAVE to sell out. You choose to get more bang from your buck but I've seen the work that comes back from overseas and I would never put my name to it.
You might can fool some of the people some of the time, but it won't fly with me.
The starting is $1.08 but the work is steady and plentiful. I think the top is $1.25 but I am not s
that is just the highest that I know of someone making.
oops.. I meant that we CANT seem to have steady work EVER. nm

Needing steady work as well....email inside
Thanks! nwmt68@hotmail.com
True but I got news for ya - you aren't going to get steady work anywhere that way.-
An MTSO has an account to cover. Period. She will give the work to whomever is willing to be flexible enough to cover the account. Even an IC has to work within some framework, not just whenever I feel like it, right?
As far as I know, IC only. Very steady work flow. Pay is good and on time.
 Great lady to work for.
EMTS Great company steady work
Getting new work and accounts are sending more and more work. Great people to work with.
enjoy it there. good accounts. steady work.

Pay on time and accurate, work flow steady.

I've been trying to find a company with steady work

I've had steady work the past 2 days on
my primary account, but I'm pretty sure it only has to do with people being off. I don't think there has been any kind of major change for the greater good or anything. So I'm not getting excited. I'll be back at the soup kitchen probably next week - so someone save my seat!
Downside is that there's rarely a steady/even load of work everyday unless there's always a ba

U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Futurenet work
... don't know if this may be one thing that may be impacting Futurenet's volume, but I went for an interview with a company who contracts with Futurenet, and they are bringing their work back inhouse from Futurenet. I believe I heard that company will just license Futurenet's platform, but bring the transcription back inhouse.
FutureNet Low on Work
I also am very, very low on work with FutureNet and wonder if my main account is one that is phasing out FNTC. I know you cannot name the account but could you tell the city and state they are in????
Futurenet...where did the work go? sm
Anyone have any idea why the counts are so low at Futurenet this week? I haven't been able to get a single job since the weekend!!!
Is there work at FutureNet? sm
Earlier this year archives shows comments that work was low at FutureNet, I am wondering if that has changed (before I apply!)....anybody know?
FutureNet is still low on work...
I don't understand why these companies hire more people than they have work for. Seems to me that they lose a lot of good people that way. I've been with them under three months and I'm going to begin looking elsewhere. They put me on three accounts that chronically run out of work, yet they're begging for help on other accounts! What's wrong with them???
Futurenet work
No in my opinion not a lot of work anymore and later in the day and at night only. Also what they didn't say when they hired people (at least not me) is that it would be going to voice recognition in a month.
FUTURENET is the BEST place to work!
For real, FutureNet Technologies is the best place out there to work! I have tried two other places over the internet, and BY FAR, FutureNet is the best! They have a lot of work. Their pay is ALWAYS on time, EVERY TIME. They have production bonuses, easy format (VERY EASY) and they do not ask for IM, so that means they are not bugging you all day. They email you, or every now and then call you, when something is needed...and they send counts all throughout the day to let you know how much work is in the system. The people are GREAT, easy to get along with and very nice. They may be doing some hiring. If so, RUN to them! They are the absolute BEST!
Futurenet- Anyone know anything about this company, would they allow you to work for MQ also? nm

How are things going with Futurenet? Is there still no work> sm
Futurenet work has slowed down majorly. Has anyone else's picked back up yet? I thought we had new accounts coming on? If so, are they are going to hire some people? Does anyone know what we can expect?
Have any of you noticed that Futurenet has an ad for MTs right now? And I have been without work fo
I was looking for some part-time work because my main job has had NO work hardly at all, not even to make $150 every two weeks and come to find out FUTURENET has an ad for transcriptionists! What is going on with that? How can they be hiring when there is no work now? Maybe that is the problem - they are overhiring so much. This is ridiculous! I am outta here. I have waited and waited and waited and waited for some work to come in - nada! Anyone else having the same problem with them? I am a very loyal, well-seasoned Transcriptionist and I have been giving them the benefit of the doubt, waiting for some work while me and my family are almost, literally, starving because of it. I feel like I have been robbed!
I know FutureNet running low on work but. (sm)
their ad says new accounts coming on in January, perhaps they were hiring on in anticipation so they were all trained.
Anyway, I am planning on applying and wanted to ask a couple of questions.
1. How long does it take for them to get back with you once you apply?
2. What kind of platform do they use?
3. Are they pretty easy with scheduling? Are you required to work a full weekend day each week?
4. If you don't have work during your scheduled time, do they require you to make up the time/lines?
I know some of these have been asked/answered in the past, looking for truly recent info from current employees if possible.
TIA
FutureNet lack of work
How about lately? Anyone else notice the lack of work and the hiring of new MT's? Also they do not treat their regulars with respect.
I am! FutureNet provides the MTs they want with plenty of work

Anyone hired by Futurenet to work on the new SC account? SM
I might apply, just wanted some info, thanks.
Does anyone know if Futurenet hires part time weekend work? (nm)
I am wondering if employees with Futurenet have a hard time having adequate work flow..sm
Just started there not too long ago, but now finding out I am running out of work frequently. I have several accounts that I can work on, but all are empty most of the time. Have they overhired or is this the normal?
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm

Steady Eddie
I know that is the case in most placed, but not everywhere. I am very thankful that I have a job where I make good money and am treated well. This was not always the case. I used to be with MQ--indentured servitude. To those who are discouraged, I say, don't ever, ever give up. Keep looking. You will find your bashert, your right kind of a job.
steady eddie
Perhaps not pie on the sky at all. It is a fabulous idea. How can we make it happen?
steady eddie
Believe it or not, I interviewed a local funeral director yesterday, as that is a career I am interested in pursuing. One has to go to mortuary college (there are several through the US) and I know anatomy, physiology and was really good at chemistry. I am not squeamish about dead bodies. Funeral directors make a very good wage, even if you do not own your own mortuary. I do not want to get into the business side of it, would rather just be a staff funeral director for an established mortuary. Just another thought for those people considering a change. For those of us who have to work several more years, I don't think MTing is going to last. Or maybe I won't last. Anyway, just a suggestion, along with the post about dental hygiene. And yep, steady eddie, I agree, this whole thing has gone down the spit sink! You nailed it.
