Info on Archivus

I am a MT with 6-1/2 years expericne typing everything except radiology.  I'm looking for a company with fleixble scheduling.  I don't need benefits.  I'm wondering if Archivus offers flexible scheduling (what type of TAT is required) and if you would recommend this company.


Thanks,

Info about working for OSi
To the original poster who was inquiring about what it is like to work for OSi:

I recently left OSi after working there for about 2 years. While they are not the worst place I have worked, they are certainly not the best either. Here's what I loved about my job with them:

1. Pay always on time, deposited in my account with direct debit. When there was a problem with my pay one time, they immediately addressed the issue and a check was sent to me ASAP.

2. Loved the EXText platform. Easy to navigate, with the ability to look up sample reports for reference.

3. On the clinic account I was hired on, the supervisor was very laid back and appeared not to micromanage the account or play favorites. I never got a call or was bothered on my days off. Pay was 0.075 cpl. Problem was they were shipping more and more of the account overseas (which was easy to look up on their platform).

4. When I initially started there, very knowledgeable QA with a fair grading system. Gave an incentive for making 100% QA, which I did without fail every evaluation period.

Here is what I hated and why I left:

1. After about a year there, I requested a change in account because my clinic account was always out of work, and no explanations were forthcoming as to why this was. I was basically left high and dry with no work on 2 accounts until I finally made the decision to leave and then they were all over me trying to get me to stay.

2. VA account I was placed on was micromanaged by a supervisor who played favorites and sent easy work (e.g., clinic notes and easiest dictators) to her pets. (Again, it was very easy to look this up on their system. When you see the same MT #'s come up time and again on the easiest reports, and they are working the same hours as you, it's a bit of a red flag.)

3. Got harrassed repeatedly by this same supervisor, who seemed to think that it was acceptable that she made me sit there with no work during my shift due to her micromanaging of the account and playing favorites but then would phone or e-mail me (and others on the account) repeatedly on weekends or during off hours because SHE was getting out of turn-around time!

4. Complete LACK of communication or incorrect info with the littlest details. I used to work for another large national who would take a week or more to get back with you for a simple e-mail. OSi supervisors will e-mail you back right away but many times seem not to know the answers to the simplest questions or they just never get back to you with an answer. There is a LOT of disorganization in that company.

5. Health benefits are ridiculously overpriced and unaffordable.

6. New QA manager unprofessional in conference calls and e-mails and not very knowledgeable about QA, has quite an attitude when she feels she is being questioned about something. Many of the QA specialists who work under her were very nice and accommodating; however, there is a big turnover rate with them - wonder why.

6. I discovered that they are sending more and more of their work overseas, and I do not want to work for a company (or industry) that does this. I am out of MT now and have never been happier.

Well, that is a fair and balanced assessment of my time with OSi. While I would never recommend them as a company to work for, they were no different really than any of these nationals have become, so I wouldn't say they're all bad either. It is best to make your own decisions about these things, as long as you have accurate information to go from. Good luck to you!

FYI: VA accounts pay more because they are notoriously full of ESLs with a lot of account specifics that change almost daily.

Any info on eMTS? Anybody currently working for them?

Any info on working for Fenton Transcription?

Diskriter editors-Would like info on working as an
editor at Diskriter...hours, pay, platform, people, etc.  TIA.
MD-IT info? Search function not working...sm
I am wondering MD-IT ... specifically, do they hire IC, and are they only acute care or do they have clinic work?  Their website doesn't give much in the way of specifics for employment, but directs to testing. If anyone has any information they want to share, would love to hear it!   TIA. 
Anyone working for Landmark right now that can give any info on things there. nm
:
Anyone currently working Webmedx/Transhealth radiology would care to share info on them - sm
Are all of the dictators ESL as in the test on the website?  If you sign on as a radiology MT are you still allowed a 12-hour window.  Has workload been fairly consistent? Any info would be greatly appreciated.  I took the test and would like some info before I am contacted.  TIA.

Archivus, LLC
Does anyone know anything about this company??  Any comments would be appreciated.
archivus
I have worked for them about 9 months now.  Great company.
Archivus...
I've been working for them for 7 months and have absolutely no complaints.  Very nice people to work with, good work flow, and pay is always on time. 
Archivus

Yes, they are very flexible.  I don't have a set shift at all.  I gave the account coordinator an approximate schedule, but they don't make you stick to it or any other schedule.  You pretty much work whenever you want to.  The account I am working on has a TAT of 48 hours.  I think this may be the standard for most of their other accounts, but I'm not sure.  I only have one ESL doctor on my account, but I think for the most part they have a very low number of ESL docs.  They do give you the option of working part-time or full-time.  I started out part-time, then switched to full-time. 


Good luck on whatever you decide!


archivus
I agree with Funsize.  As to all your questions, I would guess it depends on what account you are working on.  I think they are a great company.
archivus
Hey Funsize, what account do you work on? I have never talked with anyone else who worked for Archivus. You can just use initials for account if you want. I have no ESLs.
archivus..

I work on cvmg.  How about you? 


Btw, Hello! Nice to mee you!


archivus
Hi, nice to meet you.  I work on CCA.  My backup acct is CVMG though.  That is a nice account.  What state do you live in?  I'm in NC.
archivus

My brother and family live in SC.  If you want to email me sometime my home email is y2janet1@yahoo.com.  I live up in Burlington NC which is a long way from NJ where I came from about  a year ago.


Archivus

Not much info in the archives on Archivus.  Any opinions on working for them?  Do they pay more than 9 cpl for an MT with over 10 yrs acute care experience?  Do they happen to have a 401K?


Thanks!


archivus
Have worked for them for about 10 months now.  Love, love them.  Not sure about the cpl and the 401K.  The account I work on is great.  Office people are good too.
Anyone no anything about Archivus? Nothing in

Anyone out there currently with Archivus? Thx. nm

Archivus
Absolutely wonderful company to work for.  Pay is DD and ALWAYS ON TIME.  Account manager is awesome, patient and very professional.  I would recommend this company.  Platform is good also.
archivus
Love, love, love this company and all who work there.
Archivus
Are they employee status or IC?

Archivus is 100% better
than transtech, in my opinion, as far as the work goes, but the benefits at Transtech far outweigh the benefits you get at Archivus.

that may help you or it may not.
Archivus
Can you elaborate on that as far as the work goes
Archivus
I've heard good things about Archivus, but I was just wondering if anyone knew what line rate they would give for an MT with 2 years of experience starting out there. Any idea? I have heard they don't have much in the way of benefits, but do they have any benefits at all? I would assume they offer IC positions, not employee.
Archivus
Anyone heard of or work for this company?  I would like to hear all the good, bad and ugly.  Thinking of going with them.
ARCHIVUS

The posts in the archives on Archivus are not good.  Trying searching in the box below the Google box.

To my knowledge, they pay about as average as every one else.

Archivus pay
If you are an employee you get paid 9 cents a line, if you are a contractor they start you off at 10 cents a line. There is no going above 10 cents though. Vianetta is the name of the platform they use, which is pretty good. You can work different hours, but you have to clear it with the transcription supervisor and make sure they are in writing because she misplaces things like that.
Archivus ????
Has anyone worked for Archivus using the Transcribe+ platform.  If so, what did you think of it?
