If you meet production the pay can be good. But - you are shifted from account to account and never can get a good handle on any one account or any dictator. There is no such thing as pride in your account which is what most decent companies strive for, because it increases the quality of transcription for that hospital. It is very difficult to get any line counts when you work on 5 or 6 hospitals a day. I don't
think ESLs are as much of an issue as the changing of accounts all the time.
Then you have to put up with the idiotic, childish nonsense. They want you to have an instant messenger on when you are working so they can see you are on. If you sign off, you get a call to see where you are.
And do not forget the bag of peanuts for us chimps for putting forth extra effort to achieve some ridiculous goal, or if you are on line when Timmy is watching. Oh, can't you just taste the delicious flavor of those unsalted rotten peanuts as you nervously crunch on them to stave off the hunger pangs because you cannot earn enough to make a living?
I hope you had better luck than I did.

Have you ever asked the QA a question at OSi? I wrote detailed questions, cc'd it to several QA's, no response.
I asked a question at one of those 'mandatory' phone conferences, and all I got was that time was running out and that we needed to round it up. So 'F' runs her mouth about what she has to say. Couldn't she just record it and let us play it? She certainly wouldn't let anyone ask a question; and if they did, she was sure quick to come back with it's in the account specifics, look it up or some other short, rude answer, even a grunt sometimes, like you could almost hear her eyes rolling.
see post below "if you're thinking of quitting"
that's the one.
