In Reply to: Got offered 1.5 cent/line this past week....she said her editors tell her they make good $$.... - ...I said no thanks
If they are making the $ it is either because of working round the clock or whizzing through with poor quality. I am thinking whizzing through because in past postings they are very busy with posting negative things here. I make 4 cpl and listen to everything as required. I do well, but to do it right and be thorough you would not make big $ at 1.5.

Thanks for the info. Guess I will wait till Mon.

I don't think I can wait that long!
I haven't talked to anyone from Amphion, but their web site info looks great, especially the make your own schedule and holidays being completely up to the MT.
How long to wait?
Recently I tested and passed with a national company that has had quite a few advertisements on this site recently. I immediately received an e-mail saying I had passed the test and when would be a good time for a telephone interview, which I answered...that was last Tuesday and I haven't heard anything. I'm sure their HR department is very busy, but how long should I wait to e-mail them again, or try to call? I really need this job and it's a good fit for my experience (PT). Don't want to be a pest, but don't want to fall through the cracks, either. Thanks!
Gone too. Finally, after long wait.
Too much BS. Either tons of emails, work, work, work for your incentive, not that you EVER see it in your paycheck. Send emails and get your ticket, automatic response, and never an answer from anyone who should answer. Pays promised one day and delivered 4 days later. Done with it and glad to be leaving. Poor management, poor communication, if any, and poor everything. RUN.
Who can afford to wait that long?
No way would I take such a job - what happens if they NEVER get paid? You work for free, that's what.
It's not common at all - you'd be better of getting your own accounts!
How long to wait to start new job?
I was offered a new job Monday and sent in the completed paperwork as required right away via fax. I got a welcome letter the same day. I have heard nothing since and did email once thanking them for the position and indicated I was ready to start immediately. Still, I have heard absolutely nothing since. How long should I wait to actually get started? I was told that they were growing and I could have as much work as I wanted. Any advice?
Pay is strange with a LONG wait...nm
xx
I know Heartland makes you wait that long.
nm
I wouldn't wait that long. If I cannot be on a regular
What are they paying, once a month? So, for the whole month of May, you draw pay on June 13th?
Not for me.
Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
Call now. A week is certainly long enough to wait. nm

How long did you wait for training at Transcend?
Just wondering what the typical time frame is from install to training?
Transtech....how long of a wait for insurance?
Transcend...how long of a wait for insurance?
WTH do they wait so long? is it a form of torture?
lazy?!?!?!
Anyone tested and heard back from DTS America. How long was your wait? nm

may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm

but by not mentioning the name
I would find that suspect. If I were looking at an employer based on an ad on this site, searched the site and the name doesn't even pop up anywhere for (say, for the sake of discussion) 2 years, then I would wonder why. It means that not only are disgruntled employees not talking, but satisfied employees aren't either. So then I would wonder why. That to me is a red flag. I think that essence of control borders on paranoia. Why can't the employees who are happy say so and their reasons why?
The second part makes me wonder about how the company feels about AAMT. I could see a union in the future for MTs based on nothing other the domino effect of AAMT's apprenticeship program (plumbers, electricians, welders, etc., all have apprenticeship programs and sprouted unions). SOO, does that mean the company might be less likely to consider me for employment if I earn a CMT?
I guess the cat's out of the bag regarding long
Paying LD fees, having a bill show up in the mail, and uhhhmmm I think I'd be calling Keystrokes and telling them they need to help pay for that or something. As an employee you shouldn't really have any expenses like that. Weird to me! Odd, very odd........ There have been at least three posts regarding Keystrokes and long distance. What gives? 
Whoops....Guess I should of proof read that! Been a long day.

Gees just mentioning arguring started an argument
Just not worth it. It's all about respect....and maturity.
Shapin.
They don't know the answers to their own test. No telling what goes on there.
Shapin
I've definitely given up on them. I sent them two emails telling them I couldn't find their test on their site and both times I got an automated message back that said please go to the web site and take our test.
Shapin
This is a very laid back company. You can work FT/PT your choice. No min on line counts. There is only one ESL doc and he is a temporary. TAT is 24 hours, up to 48 on back log. If you need more info email me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin..
Hi there,
I do lead QA for Shapin. Feel free to email me with any questions. MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin?
nm
Must have been Shapin, right?
Shapin
I am also a new Editor with Shapin. It seems as though the editors that are no longer here had the company pretty messed up. I am thankful for Laurie giving me the opportunity and mentoring to become a good editor. If there any more good editors out there that are looking for an awesome company to work for, extremely freindly and helpful, apply. We need good editors not crybaby wanna be's.
another ex-Shapin IC
Again, another ex-Shapin employee without a name. If you feel that you were a good employee why are you afraid to post your name? Not surprising I guess. I also am curious as to what you mean by They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. I can tell everyone the facts. Fact number one: People who do their jobs and don't steal from companies KEEP THEIR JOBS. Fact two: Disgruntled ex-employees always yell Foul the loudest because they do not learn from their mistakes, they just go onto the next company and mess that company up too.
I just wish for once, someone would give everyone specifics instead of just generalized comments like unprofessional and lies. And while you are at it, please answer this question....How can you live with yourself knowing that you were stealing from a company by not even doing the job you were paid to do?
Shapin
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
Shapin
I applied for the editing position so not sure on the amount for the transcription side.
Shapin
I worked for Shapin for about four months. Don't do it!!! The work load is really bad - hardly any work at all, very low line count, and the pay is miserable. Check into Professional Transcriptions, Inc out of Pensacola, Florida. That's who I work for now and the work load is consistent and the pay is great!
Shapin
Does anyone know if Shapin Medical Transcription still exists?
Stay away from Shapin....
extremely low pay, very disorganized, offshores to India.
re stay away from shapin
low, low pay, poor management.
Please clarify-Shapin (or someone associated with them) said
My goodness, and you jumped at it or away from it? Plenty of companies without outsourced dictation out there with benefits where an experienced, good MT can make that in half that amount of time. With a company representative admitting they offer low pay, why would I elect to work for Shapin. I'm smart enough to know how things work and can multitask more than one company to optimize my income and benefit potential.
Tisk, tisk.
Never worked for Shapin, never will
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.
Stay away from Shapin....
do a search on this board and you'll see why. Very unprofessional company.
NOT SHAPIN. I can guarantee you that. nm
.
Do a search here on Shapin......sm
Very unprofessional company, and they only pay 0.015 cents a line for editing.
Shapin Transcription
I just wanted to say that this is one of the best companies I have worked for. I am an Editor and the people are great, pay is on time, and there is never any negative feedback. Everyone makes mistakes, but they are really polite and nice about it because they understand. You are not just another MT/Editor to them. Communication is always open for questions, concerns etc. The supervisors are great. I don't understand all the negativity towards this company.
To:potatoMT re Shapin
I have been offered an Editor position at 1.5 cpl. That's pretty low isn't it?? Especially if you have to listen to the dictator, read and correct the chart. Does that go up after a period of time? It seems like a nice place to work. But it seems like you time isn't worth much at 1.5 cpl. Any comments would be helpful!! Thanks.
To:potatoMT re Shapin
This would be my first editing job, too, so I would really like the experience. I like the sounds of the flexibility and that you can go at your own pace. Do they train you right online? They said it takes 3-4 weeks to train? Do you get to choose the accounts you work on? Any ESLs? Thanks for the info!!
To Amy & potatoMT re: SHAPIN
Just a warning:
Please read the posts regarding Shapin. I don't know about you guys, but working for this company sounds like an experience I'd rather skip altogether. There are reputable MTSOs out there who are willing to steer you in the right direction. Not only that, the experience you'll be getting from this group, well, let's just say that I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock into what they have to offer, if you know what I mean.
Nevertheless, whatever you guys choose to do, good luck to you both!
Shapin.....no need for explanation!!
