saw the posts from below, not happy, but not enough for me to say hey or nay. Where I am coming from I know it can't be worse but I really want a good fit. Thanks for all who can inform me.

What are they like to work for?  Thanks!

Unexpectedly this morning, I received a recruiting email from them.  I have sort of been going over some of the companies and comtemplating making a change.  I have 5+ years in my current company, and the only real thing I am looking to change is: (1) Better pay by the line; (2) Getting my weekends and holidays back to spend with my family.  I currently work EVERY Saturday.  Don't really mind it, but would like to be able to make plans and perhaps rotating weekends would even be okay. 

I was just wondering if anyone can give me any updated insight into this company. I did a search, but the threads are several months old, and was wondering perhaps if things were any different than those posts read.

I have a lot of experience in transcription, upwards of 16 years, with probably only half of that being in acute care.  Other important things to consider in my search is benefits.  The health insurance at my current company is very expensive. 

Thanks for any input guys! I appreciate it.

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 

Thanks!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

Do you know if Amphion is hiring for radiology now?  I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful.  Anyone know their toll-free number? 

Do you know how they pay for radiology -- by the character, line, or report?  Range of pay? 

Amphion uses this for their platform!

Can anyone tell me anything about Amphion (good, bad or indifferent)?  Do they have health benefits?  How is the platform?  How flexible are they?  Do they have an incentive/bonus structure? 

Thanks for opinions.

Can someone tell me how Amphion distributes work?  Do you have to pick up one job at a time, or do they dump work to your computer?  TIA.

I rarely come to this board and just to take a peek at what is going on every once in a blue moon because I have other things that are far more important.  However, I also work for Amphion and have been extremely happy with the way I'm treated by my supervisor, manager and on up the ladder.  When you are low on work, it is partly your responsibility to ask your supervisor for a backup account instead of whining on these boards.  Amphion and other transcription companies are vendors.  Some accounts are solely done by the vendor and other accounts get the back log from hospitals, clinics, etc.  The supervisors are always available to answer questions (though some days are definitely worse than others if there are many emails to go through from everyone or phone calls from the accounts).  I always get my questions answered in a very timely fashion if not by day's end for sure.

We all have our gripes about the place we work from time to time, but let me ask you this.... Have you ever taken part of the blame yourself?   Do you call in sick all the time or change your schedule so your supervisor (at Amphion or elsewhere) can't count on you to do the work per the contract they signed?  We all have a life outside of work and should be very glad to work at home, but the outside stuff has to wait if you set a schedule and give that to your supervisor.  If we went to an office during the day, everything would have to wait.  Businesses are in business to make money, and hire us to help them make that money.  Maybe Amphion hire because of the certain few MTs out there refuse to work a set schedule that MT gave the supervisor when they signed on and need coverage.  I have never had Amphion tell me what hours to work.  I gave them hours that fit my life and it works.  Communication is key especially if we are all over the US.

I have worked for other services, and I can tell you, Amphion far and away blows all of them out of the water.  Some may not agree, but I do know others that do agree with me.  It's called give and take, not take, take, take by the MT and give nothing in return.  Others that have never worked for Amphion do not know the ins and outs so have no reason to gripe at all on these boards about Amphion.  I work my hours/lines, get paid on time, work extra when asked, get questions answered in a timely fashion and know that I am doing my best.  I also know they are doing the best they can for their MTs and can hardly wait to see more and more positives down the road.   Those that do gripe on these boards and do work or have worked for Amphion are blaming the company and not looking at themselves for part of the blame.  If something doesn't feel right about the account you are on, low on work, etc., contact your supervisor instead of stewing about it and then blasting them on these boards.  That is not fair to you or the company.
