Hello,

Is there anyone who works for Shapin that could give me some insight as to good or bad?  A got a response to a resum I sent and would like some information on how they are to work for before answering.

TIA

extremely low pay, very disorganized, offshores to India. 

I can't be accused of being a bad employee or even submitting a resume that would disconcert the company.  There are multiple public postings in addition to MTStars where this company has been discussed and the person professing to be the owner has come across as quite superordinate.  My only comment here (without any malicious intent) is that a full investigation be given to this company before making a decision whether it fits your needs.  I've been sharoosed by the company representative's lack of savoir-faire.

xxxxx

but I'm not about to post my experience here because I'm just a disgruntled employee after all, so anything I say is because I'm angry that I was let go....yeah, whatever.  

I agree with everything the other disgruntled employees say. Shapin is an unprofessional company that is run by M & L. They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. Little does she know that they are going to eventually be the death of her company.

For those of you happy people who are currently work for them, watch your back. You may think things are great now, but just wait....and don't come back here and say you weren't warned......

I don't understand what you mean by "in the office." The only people "in the office" are techies, some senior management types (but not even all of those), payroll in Pitts, etc.

I'm thinking through all of the "supervisors" (MT supervisors) and they all work from home. Sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience, but know that they DO have some really good transcription supervisors, and that it's totally an incorrect generalization that a 'bad one' will "be supervising you." 

And, no, I don't work at Webmedx any more. Used to, knew all of the supes very well and worked with them daily. I saw how they dealt with their MTs. All had their strengths and weaknesses.

Try to not generalize in such a negative fashion, okay?  If you have issues, speak directly with the supervisor, or at least say "I have worked with a couple, I didn't enjoy the experience, but I can't speak for every supervisor there." Post responsibly.

I can feel the flames already!

I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who fraudulently receives unemployment benefits while working.  Two wrongs don't make a right.  I've had a real rough past few years here trying to recover from Medquist, but I'm proud to say I have been honest in all my dealings on my end.  I work hard and if the company doesn't work, for whatever reason, I move on.  Everyone should realize by now that THE ACCOUNT MEANS EVERYTHING.  Not the company.  Not the line rate.  Not the communications.  If you are on a crappy account, you won't make money.  You can have a low line rate with a great account and make great money.  You can have poor communications with a great account and it doesn't make a difference because everything on the account is crystal clear and you don't have to ask for clarification.  You unhappy Keystrokers got the bad account.  You happy ones have good accounts.  Simple.  Keystrokes probably should unload the bad account, but does any company ever actually do that?  I don't know the answer to that. 

Now, my production put me making the same as full-time in each one but I was officially part-time in each company

Do you mean you were able to produce full time work in parttime hours at both jobs?   I thing I'm going brain dead from job hunting and working.  Forgive me if I am sounding dense here.
