Posted By: wondering on 2008-07-07

I had started to apply for this company but never did the testing.  I got a call from a recruiter who left me a message stating they were hiring and invited me to complete the testing.  How is this company?  I have not really heard much about them so anyone who has any info about this company please let me know.  I would really appreciate it.  Thank you very much.

DeVenture is not a company (see more)

where you can make your own hours, to my knowledge.  They hire people for a certain shift and they need us to work the hours we were hired for...period.  I was working nights but am now back on days and I get called on several times during my shift to type up stat work.  I don't know if all accounts are like this, but mine is and when they call, I'd darned well better be there...IT'S MY JOB. 


A lot of people seem to think they can work whenever...I think that is what an independent contractor does though, don't they?  If you are an employee and are hired to work 7-3, you are hired to do a job.  Yesterday I made over 1700 lines in an 8-hour shift, and that is with 1 hour off for lunch, so that's only 7 hours of straight typing (and no normals at that!).  No diddlin' around (except for stretchie breaks).


I think the pay is just fine (with incentives for higher line counts), PTO is great, health insurance is quite affordable, and I have nothing bad to say about them at all.  I'm only posting here because I have read 2 negatives in a row and feel there should be a positive to help balance them.  I've seen a lot of people come and go now, and that makes me sad, but this is a job afterall, not a hobby. 


If you are serious about getting paid well for your hard work, then apply.     


DeVenture is a great company.

I'm quite happy with them and am especially happy with the fact THERE IS ALWAYS WORK!  In fact, there has been so much work that overtime was offered!  I guess that's why they have ads looking for help on here.  It seems like it was eons ago that I remember calling them and begging for work (this is when they took over a company I worked for and were getting their ducks in a row).  Now it's vice versa...they're always asking me to work extra!   I'm very happy with the benefits to...and I just learned via an e-mail last week that they are going to offer a 401K plan, which is just HELLO!  AWESOME!  


I've talked to a couple of fellow MTs from other states who love it there as well, and of course I adore my boss lady who was/is also an MT and can totally sympathize with the issue du-jour, if ya know what I mean! 


Definitely drop 'em a line, you won't be disappointed!

Anybody work for DeVenture?  Need info.
Deventure...

Nice people, but I found their platform to be rather tedious and time-consuming.  Also very strict on scheduling and I needed more flexibility. 


HTH.. 


DeVenture ?
Any DeVenture feedback?  All e-mails kept confidential.  Thanks!
Deventure

I see unanswered posts about Deventure and thought I would give my opinion. I am new there, but impressed. Setup was extremely smooth and recruiter, supervisor, and tech people are on the ball. Good feedback and encouragement. Great accounts and not-so-great accounts. The constant ads are because they are adding new accounts by the minute.


 


DeVenture

I was just hired by DeVenture. Can anyone tell me anything at all about this company that they would like to share?


Thanks in advance!


Did you say you are now with DeVenture?
I think you did in another post, if I'm mistaken I apologize!  This totally sounds like something they would do.  Truly some great people there!
deventure
does anyone know if deventure has work strictly in the US or do they outsource to india?  I was wondering whether or not to apply but don't want to if they outsource.  Thanks in advance.
DeVenture??
Any opinions?  good/bad???
DeVenture -

don't venture. the new Q -- dedictated to making even MORE profit off our hardworking backs with fewer crumbs in return.

DeVenture...sm

Okay, I didn't get any responses about the equipment from DeVenture, so I have another question.  I have read that the pay is on the low side, but is it possible to make a decent salary with them? Is the platform user friendly?  Thanks.


DeVenture
I work part-time for DeVenture and you have you use your own computer. They did not provide me with a foot pedal either. They pay 4 cpl for editing.
DeVenture pay
DeVenture pays only 4 cpl for editing.
Deventure anybody? Looking for sm
some information. Line rate and lpd? M-F or do you work 1 day on the weekends? How is their major medical-affordable for a family? How long does it take to kick in? Just trying to get a few answers first before I fill out the app.
How is the pay at DeVenture?

Deventure Pay
Actually, that's pretty good rate of pay for eScription. I get 3.9 cents per line. This week, I'm up to 600 lph.
DeVenture
I have one main and two backups. Plenty of work on all of them.
Deventure
I've been with Deventure for over 2 years. I'm very happy there also.
deventure VR pay
Does anybody know what Deventure pays for VR position? Thanks.
Deventure
I really thought this was going to be a great company to work for until the Recruiter/QA supervisor tried to cover herself/save face by telling a blatant lie.  The end. So, be careful and watch your back. Sometimes it is those who initially seem so nice and helpful that end up being not so honest.
Deventure

Hayseed,


I'm responding.  I just didn't see your note until now.

Deventure

Nope, I had a real recruitment nightmare experience with them.  They get a chapter in my TEMPORARY NIGHTMARES AS AN MT book whenever I write it.   I sent you a PM.

Deventure
Are you required to work weekends?  Do they supply equipment?  I am thinking about applying for third shift. 
DeVenture
I was just hired and I am not required to work weekends but I can if I want to. Yes, they supply equipment.

Does anyone have any info on this company or currently work for them? Good/bad? I would like info on platform, benefits, and pay. Any help is appreciated.
DeVenture
Hi All - Just curious if there is anyone out there who works at DeVenture that could help me at the moment.  I am a new MT there and have a few questions about the company.  Please email me privately - thank you in advance! 
DeVenture.
11000 lpw for full time status.

3. No clocks to punch.
4. Insurance starts 60 days after hire.
5. About $23 a week.
6. I don't have vision or dental but it is offered.
DeVenture
Would like to hear from people who work or have worked for DeVenture, pros and cons, please.  Also, how is their platform called Shine?  Thank you.
deventure
I work for them. I don't know about the shine platform. Very nice people to work for. No incentives for high line counts. Pay for regular transcription is good but not so good for editing. Pretty easy to get lines required because of great accounts.
DeVenture
Funny, I took the test and passed, called and had interview, and I haven't heard anything ... pretty crappy!
DeVenture
Yeah, that was my post about the company I work for. It just disappeared. This company has lots of work and would love to hire good MTs out there looking for a job. Great benefits, great management, PTO, paychecks always on time and correct.
DeVenture

Anyone have info on this company? Please? I am really looking to switch.  Anything good or bad.


DeVenture

Has anybody had any experiece with this company?  They just offered me 9 cpl to start if I do 175 lph. 


DeVenture
Anybody out there with any information about DeVenture?   I would really appreciate any input you could give me, good or bad.  Thanks!  
DeVenture
Hello.  I would like some info on DeVenture good and bad from someone who works there or has worked there.  I much appreciate it. 
DeVenture
Does anyone work or have worked for DeVenture recently?  I am considering applying with them but really would like some input first.  Thanks. 
Anyone know about DeVenture's
radiology accounts?  Platform?  Pay?  Workload?
DeVenture
Any info? Platform, pay, benefits? Worth interviewing?
DeVenture

I work for DeVenture with EditScript.  You will not find nicer people to work with.  Amanda is very sweet.  Yes, she is new, but she knows what she is doing or she would not be in that position.  They are a great company in every way.


 


DEVENTURE
Anyone working for DeVenture either full or part-time?  Can you tell me what the rate per line is?    Thanks!
DEVENTURE - DOES NOT PAY

I have been waiting on my pay from DeVenture for 2 pay periods.  I was last told they would be sending it overnight, and it still has not arrived.   I do not work for the company any longer.  They hired too many people and then fired them.  I will be filing with the Labor Commission in my state, since by law employees are to be paid on the designated pay dates. 


DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked there for a few days, and the SHINE platform is horribly slow. Many maneuvers require taking hand off keyboard, pages/links to click that have no purpose really, etc. I timed it, took on average 4-1/2 minutes to jump the hoops before transcribing. Great program for the client, lousy for the MT paid on production. But wonderful people, so nice and helpful. Program bites.
DeVenture
Work is REALLY low right now. Not enough to keep me working even part-time. I cannot imagine why they are hiring.
DeVenture

I use Word 2007 with no problems, and I have Vista.  It depends on what team you are on as far as workload.  I do radiology and acute care.  I'm only on my third week, but have been able to make above the required line count each week.  I am hoping, however, that I will have enough work to do above the required 1100 lines per day, which I will be required to do starting next week.  My team leader is very nice.  I had no problems with the recruiter getting back to me on a timely basis.  My first paycheck came in Saturday, only two days after the pay date.  I will have direct deposit after, I believe, 2 or 3 paychecks.


Just remember, not everyone is happy where they work, nor can every employer please every employee all the time.  Try it out.  If you don't like it, there are plenty of other MTSOs out there (some good and some bad, but that's how it is no matter what type of work you do).  I'm just happy to not be driving in traffic any more.


That is exactly what DeVenture did
but I thought it to be strange as well.
DeVenture
I am wondering about them too.  Anybody?
