So I guess it must be their way of doing things.  This was a year or so ago though.  I only stayed with them about 7 months.  They are definitely a ball and chain type job.  There is a time clock you must clock in and out of all day long, even bathroom breaks.  They are a real stickler for making sure your line count and your hours match up.  I always met my requirements but it was just too much of a headache to keep up with.

After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option).  I am hoping this did not screw up my application. 

I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call. 

Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?

at a lot of places lately.  I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter.  She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!!  LOL  I'm thinking it's The Word Pros.  Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?

I'd love to hear information about them as well.

Just Me

Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms!  Horrible. And part of a team?  Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.

Please let me know if you know anything about this company.  How is the staff, etc.? Thanks!

I have been with FutureNet for about 3 months now...after leaving Medquist...had been with Your Office Genie before MQ took over...15  years total. What you have at FN is a good portion of the old staff that was at the Monrovia office of YOG/MQ. I find them great to work with and have enough work and so far no problems..but then I have known most of them for years...mtgal847

How is QA at Futurenet? Do they dock for blanks, follow strict BOS or client specifics, quibble over commas, etc?

TIA!

Does anyone out there know how Futurenet counts lines?  Do they pay for spaces?  Thanks.

Salutations, group.  I am seeking information from someone who has or does work for FutureNet.  Is this a good company?  What about specialities or acute care?  I am trying to gather enough information to make an informed choice whether to apply with them or not.  Having had some poor experiences in the past, but willing to give another company a try, I would like as much info as possible - both ways - before I spend valuable time applying, testing, interviewing, etc.  After reading this board and the other one, it seems that there are more bad companies than good.  Also, I am applying for a radiology position where the work is done on-site.  Can anyone tell me the going rate for in-house transcriptionists?  Line?  Hour?  I haven't worked in-house in a long time and am totally out of that loop. 

Any info would be appreciated.

Any current or past FutureNet people care to comment on their satisfaction?  Any info appreciated.  Are they just IC?  How is the platform to work on and do you need a special foot pedal or pay for any software?  I know I've heard they have a lot of ESL, but so does my current account, so...was just wondering about workflow, the staff, etc.  I'm only looking for part time, so don't know if that would work, but if IC can't see being full time at one place, done that and didn't work out too well when work runs low!

TIA for any input.
