1.  Do they have a production incentive/bonus? 

2.  Where I am right now, if I work even a minute over my 8-hour shift, I have to e-mail my supervisor explaining why.  Is KS that strict, or do they allow you to go over a little?  I don't even care if they pay OT or not, just want to finish my job without worrying about the time.  (Sorry, threw in a little vent there.)

Thank you!

Do they hire part-time?   Do you need a C-phone or are they internet based?

Thanks 

How is the platform?

Is rigid schedule required for full-time?

Are there production bonuses?

Thank you!

TTS does this to all of  ICs. She literally will call MTs and threaten your job because you are not on the schedule for your hours.  I was let go because of not working my set hours, yet I did my line count on a daily basis that I said I would do.  Who would you report this to?  Would you report to the DOL or the IRS? 

Does anybody know if their benefits package includes a decent medical insurance plan?

Also, does anyone know what their internet platform is like (I think it's called Apex?).  Good, bad, etc?

Do they have a consistent workload?

Heavy ESL?

Their benefits package seems amazing, their requirements seem very well detailed and they seem very structured in general.  I like the black-and-whiteness of it. They seem to have their biz together.  Anyone that can verify?

Any loopholes on their behalf from anyone's experience, such as docking for errors, exreme nit-picking (although my accuracy is excellent thus far).  I'm hoping they're not a company that portrays themselves as reputable, family-oriented, professional, etc. and then harass and turn into monsters once you're on board.  Thanks!

Did you switch from straight transcription to VR, or start with VR? 

How long had you done straight transcription and what was your lph speed then?

How long have you been doing VR?

How long did it take you to get up to the speed where you are now?

Thanks in advance!

Do they offer full-time and part-time? If so, what are line requirements.  Do you have to do your lines within an 8-hour time frame? Is their platform Word based? Audio transferred via internet or phone? Lines calculated 65 characters with spaces? Do they start as high as 10 cents a line? Do you run out of work often? Sorry to have so many questions, but wanted to avoid wasting my time and theirs based on above. Thank you.

Keystrokes contacted me early last week about employment and sent me all the pertinent papers to sign and return.  I faxed everything back and was told they would be getting an ID for me for the account I'll be working on.  I haven't heard anything else.  Should I be concerned, or does it just take awhile for things to get moving? I realize there's been a holiday too which slows things down.

Do you run out of work a lot?  How is Radiology workload and pay?

TIA

I got an offer from Keystrokes and had some questions for others employed there. 

How is the family health insurance?  Expensive?

I will be working on the account that is 80% ESL, easy to meet line requirements?

When the recruiter talks about your 'liscense' please what does that mean?  I'm not entirely clear on that one.

I should be getting my paperwork in a couple days then getting started.  I'm looking forward to working with you all. 

How does Axolotl define a line?  Do they pay for spaces, headers, footers, & expansions?  Are you docked for blanks or sending things to QA?  If so, how much.

Thanks for the info.

Have a fabulous 4th!

company and hate it.  I am assigned my own accounts but can't make any money unless I work 12+ hours a day including weekends.  They have a 24 hr TAT which I can understand but if a doctor doesn't dictate for 2 days (or more) and then slams you with 2 days worth of dictation I don't think it's fair to expect MTs to turn around all that dictation.  I have more than one doctor and don't have a problem with TAT until one or more decides not to dictate for days and then OUCH. 

Anyway I've decided to look elsewhere.  This company also has alot of physical therapy and there is no money to be made in this field (at least not the way they do business), so I do not do physical therapy.
